Also Adkins was a much more animated presence on the touch line than LB ever was.Wheresmeticket? said:
Can't agree with you Golfie, for once. The defense was far more robust, excepting a couple of errors and I got the sense of a team playing as a team. They looked as if they were enjoying it and Pearce's urging on upfield was something I haven't seen before.golfaddick said:
Yep, I'm with you here. Thought we did ok but didn't really create anything & it looked like the Wimbledon game in the last 15 mins. Why Aneke didnt come on after 60 mins I have no clue.Exiled_Addick said:Just finished watching on a time delay (KO was 5:30 am here). I’ve got to be honest, the only real difference I saw in that performance and a good many under Bowyer in the last year was Ryan Innis.We generally defended well, but still with a few moments of “WTF were you thinking!” (Matthews’ back heel to no one in our own 6 yard box was a particular highlight).We never looked particularly troubled but without ever creating much either, which is similar to a lot of our games away from home this season. I still didn’t really see any clear patterns of play of playing style but still early days there.
A good result but we still look well short of a team good enough to win the playoffs.
Too early to judge Nadge & dont really think there was much different to the Bowyer era.....apart from not throwing on defender after defender in the last 10. Hoping the "resting" of Schwartz & Morgan is not a sign of things to come.2 -

and by adkins words it sounds like you will get it. lord help us.ross1 said:Big away win today. Over the moon to be back with the lads. Looking forward to the run in2 -
The main difference to me was the spine of the team looked really solid, Pearce and Inniss at the back, Pratley and JFC in the middle and Stockley up front, altogether a very tough spine and it worked very well today.
We need 5 more wins and I am more confident now, especially as we have got 15 points from the last 7 games and we need 15 from the next 8.4 -
Maatsen's goal was a very Mo Salah run, brushing off the defender and finish!3
-
Inniss looked very solid including one great run forward and JFC was the standout. We looked more organised but need to improve.0

The Bandwagon is up and rolling, Now has running boards and a painted lady sitting at the front. Sunderland in the playoffs any body? Good performance, bitty in places. Well taken goal. Lets move on!0

haven't read every comment but what the hell has happened to Millar. He was shocking today and hasn't been very good for several games now. can any one give a reason as to why?1

He did get 2 assists against Wimbledon to be fair0

Is Adkins the Leuth of Gilbey now?8 -
Thought gilbey I thought Gilbey had a decent game, he got stuck in showed a few nice touches and looked sharper than previously. It is clear he had some complications with his Achilles which probably affected his confidence too, Adkins bigged him up after the game to give him a boost and help him improve further. A far cry from Bowyer’s post match tactics.

Millar did setup both goals before being moved out of position 2 games ago. Let's just get some perspective. He's not dominated games but not gone completely missing either. Agree, he's a frustrating player.

if you mean somebody that even though the person knows is pretty shite yet still defends him and exaggerates his few contributions to a game to the point that most would see excessive and even a bit, may i say, besotted with that particular player, then yes, i would say he has done a leuth.Leuth said:PWR

Probably Pratley's best game in ages as he was largely unnoticed, no silly fouls or getting in referee's face, card free, just got on with his job. Did certainly have an element of "they'll score in a minute" towards the end but we saw it out, although Doncaster didn't really look like scoring
Difficult to judge overall but certainly 3 points gratefully accepted, would have been nice to go again on Tuesday but less said etc. Quite ironic that when we didn't need to rotate the squad previously we did, yet all of a sudden we're back with a congested list and will probably have to.5 -
Nah I think the Cats will do it the easy way this year, and good luck to them. A proper football team unlike their noisy neighbours.usetobunkin said:The Bandwagon is up and rolling, Now has running boards and a painted lady sitting at the front.

I think that was a hard fought victory. To come away to a team who's home form is second best in the league and win is one hell of a result! Innis being back gave us a huge lift, everyone played their part and I thought Gilbey JFC and Innis were outstanding. DJ and Martsen were excellent as was Matthews and Purrington. Onwards and upwards!!5

Good 3 points but not kidding myself that we looked like a promotion team. Get famewho back in with innis and we may somehow be able to grind out enough wins but i just can't see it - hope i'm wrong. The midfield needs a massive overhaul in the summer - honestly don't think 1 of them is as good as what we had 2 years ago but also think the rest of the teams aren't as good either - donny had wilkes and marquis but had nothing in comparison to that today. The wage cap will have something to do with that so the summer should see a lot of movement - whatever happens, i think next year will be good.0

Good result and a clean sheet,
RYAN back means our defence has instantly improved.
we cannot keep relying on one goal leads
we must score more or invest in a consistent striker.
its early days but the team looked happier and worked hard for our new man Nigel Adkins 👍👍👍🥂🥂🥂

I agree. I think the top 2 will be Sunderland & Peterborough with Pompey & Hull securing 3rd & 4th with a game or 2 to go. Then a fight for 5th & 6th for Us, Oxford, Blackpool, Ipswich Donny & Lincoln.Wheresmeticket? said:

Yes me too, trust the new management who have seen him today in his first game back, not some of the negativecafc_se7 said:
I know who’s opinion I trust! People soon forget he was injured before and didn’t look the same player....today, again, was his first game back in a long while and he worked his socks off! Definition of a scapegoat!ForeverAddickted said:Fans wont like Adkins view on Gilbey, thought he was phenomenal
departments normal moronic opinions 😂😂👍👍👍🍷🍷0 -
Yes, the key thing about his position is that he wasn't playing out wide like in a 442 formation, but as one of the attacking 3 was able to attack the box from a much more central position, which is where his goal came frommendonca said:Maatsen's goal was a very Mo Salah run, brushing off the defender and finish!3 -
The unbeaten run continues
Cant argue with an away win with clean sheet.5 -
It's a good job Doncaster had Bogle instead of Marquis. We were quite poor, they were worse.
The number of misplaced passes after doing such sterling work to get the ball back had us screaming in frustration.2 -
I must admit, this is pretty much how I saw it. They certainly had a solid shape about them and you could tell they were all giving it their all. I’m just not convinced it was anything other than 2 pretty average teams and the least average won out on the day. I would say if that’s two teams in and around the play off promotion hunt, it really is a poor league.DOUCHER said:Good 3 points but not kidding myself that we looked like a promotion team.

I get Gilbey hasn’t had the best starts to his career at Charlton and it may come good, but I thought he was anonymous for the most part and lucky to stay on, as I felt he faded hard after 60 mins fitness wise, and perhaps I just don’t understand football, but I couldn’t really see what he offered defensively either.
Your point about the midfield is one I agree with. I don’t think Pratley was all that. He’s only comfortable playing the ball backwards or sideways and I really doubt next year will be a promotion winning team if he’s still in the squad.
3 pointe is great, and I was pleased that it seemed the players want to show Adkins what they’re about, but this squad just aren’t for me.

"Gilbey's been out for a long time and I thought he was phenomenol." Makes it sound like he's been injured, not dropped for adding sod all in his previous umpteen appearances.1
