Just seen the highlights. It looks like we created some very good chances and CBT had a blinder. But our strikers had a collective stinker. That penalty attempt was worse than Michael Gray’s in the 1998 play-off final1

Sounds like a good performance against a poor team.Exactly what you need to do.1

Replying to this without reading further, but I think it is fair to see it balanced from both sides.paulfox said:why are people making excuses like we’d be right up there if we hadn’t had injuries? Just because we’ve had a few wins under no pressure, We are down where we are because we’ve been shite, some real delusion in this place.🙄
With some luck on the injury front this season we'd be a lot higher and potentially challenging for the play offs, maybe not. I think unfortunately our terrible start under NA did for us this season and after that, it was only ever a pipe dream that anything really positive was going to come from this campaign
BUT
The positives that it does show me are that the club are on the right track, have recruited some excellent players and are putting together a group that when you ship out those that aren't good enough have the potential next year to challenge.
It is definitely not all rosy, but it is a long way from all doom and gloom.6 -

And there's the rub. You don't get that cohesion & camaraderie if players are joining mid-late August. The season kicks off on the 30th July so it would be good to have 95% of the squad in & together during pre-season.

Lavelle, Dobson, CBT, Fraser all look very good for next season's 'promotion push'. Want to see a quality front line bought in the summer however.2

Well done to Tyrick Mitchell on his sub appearance but I’m not ready to give them much credit for Aguero. Certainly not for Gallagher.Valley11 said:Meanwhile, Palace had three players debuting for England tonight, and are at Wembley next weekend for the fa cup semi.
They will get bulldozed by Chelsea.

But some clubs seem to get most of their deals done in time for pre season.
I think it's important we do the same.2 -
As long as it’s no more than 2 or 3 to finish off the squad at most rather than key signings then that’s fine. We know the plan is to bring in 5 or 6 loans, realistically at least some of those are likely to have to wait until the end of the window. Clubs often don’t loan out until their incomings are finalised.golfaddick said:

Three points and a clean Sheet
and safe from relegation.
proper strikers should not miss penalties 👎
we do not score enough goals and miss to many chances.
the interview with Thomas Sandguard and his premiere league ambitions shows how little he knows about football, as today’s team are good
for league one but not championship quality.…..lots of work to do and money to invest for next season 👍👍🥂🥂0 -

terrible game that we dominated yet nearly threw away at the end .. against better teams, missing the chances that we did will cost us
Positives .. Blackett-Taylor is now a real threat to defences .. Lavelle's showing why we signed him .. McG now comes for the ball more often .. Fraser is competent if not yet settled .. Dobson and Clare are still working hard .. Stockley is as aggressive and dangerous as ever .. I won't dwell on the negatives, but let's see how we cope with Rotherham in a few day's time1 -

Jaden only misses 22%. And he scored one the other week. So I wonder why Conor was taking it?
(Kane misses 14%. But then again he's Harry Kane).0 -
It looks as if we have escaped relegation.
In that context I would introduce as many of our promising youngsters as possible, and not play any loan players any more. Also don’t play those due to be out of contract at the end of the season if possible.
One principle being if we’re going to be chite I would rather it was our own good honest chite.
It is a shame so many are out on loan to affect such a plan, and you don’t play them all at once, but can anybody think of a better moment to try them out, can anybody be worse than Arter was?
For example one pick could be (in an old fashioned 442)
Harness
Chinn Lavelle Elewere Bower
DJ Adigun Dobson CBT
Stockley Kanu
Yes I know it might not be successful, but substitutes can be deployed, and it would freshen up and add interest to the end of a really drab and dreary season.2 -

Looking at Washington’s stats on transfermarkt (so I think they are correct) he has scored 8 and missed 4 in his whole career. And before Charlton he was not the penalty taker at his former clubs.Chunes said:

(Kane misses 14%. But then again he's Harry Kane).Not the greatest conversion rate by any stretch of the imagination, and would probably lead me to think he shouldn’t be the main penalty taker.
Scott Fraser on the other hand has scored 10 and missed 1 - so would hope he may take over duties.3 -

Yeah. Those are good stats. I'm disappointed the coaching staff have let him take it tbh. They should be aware that he has a poor record.FishCostaFortune said:

I appreciate that Donny were so poor they made us look good but CBT, Stockley and Washington make so much difference to our side. This was a completely different team to the one I saw at Wednesday a few weeks ago. I enjoyed the game and it was great to see us making chances for a change. As others have said, I hope the SMT don't think that this group of players can compete next year without a significant shakeup. I also agree that we should now use the remaining games to try some of the fringe players and youngsters.
Full credit to the travelling fans who turned up in good numbers for what was a pretty meaningless game. I thought Donny's support was dreadful. Considering they are in danger of going down you would think they would have tried to provide some encouragement. It's not like they were losing from early on as we didn't score until after an hour.3 -

Thought that after recent criticism, Mac had a good game yesterday. Poor flap right at the start of the first half, but then claimed everything else and did well to get down at the death to stop them from equalising.

’Your investment can go down as well as up’.
If we finish low down it has a broader explanation than any blooding of youngsters now this good opportunity to do so has arisen.1 -
