Form Table

[Sammy Chung was King]

Over the last six games we are currently 5th in the form table, on Tuesday we face the top team Preston who have 15 points from a possible 18.
We are 5th with 10 points from 18, Colchester who we faced today 20th in that said league table.
The way it's looking Preston look as though they could yet make the second automatic spot their own in the outright table.
MK Dons seem to have hit a little barren spell after today, but we all know this league it can turn on it's head in the small time of one game.

Today we beat a side in Colchester who are in the relegation zone, when we played them earlier in the season they seemed cast iron certainties for relegation, and seeing what we did today to them wouldn't alter things much.
Over twenty odd shots on goal, the woodwork hit it could have been 4,5 or even 6 today, which makes today's performance all the more satisfying.
Yes they are in relegation trouble, but that didn't stop them beating the leaders Bristol City at home 3-2, or going to Oldham and coming away with a clean sheet and a 1-0 win, while losing only narrowly to MK Dons but losing heavily to Sheff utd.

The side Paul picked today before it started you would have said 'He hasn't got any width in the team'!!, but it turns out he got it spot on.
Though the team was a solid team selection it gave more control over the midfield and a licence for the full backs to attack.
Nice to see Nathan Tyson get on the score sheet that makes 10 for the season, before this season started i think i said he would get 15,
i can't see any reason why he can't.
Stevens contributing a rare goal showing he can be more than a solid full back given the chances.

We now face a massive test against Preston he got today's line up spot on, now he needs to find a solution to who needs to play against them.
A different game altogether i see us going there and getting a point which would be a good result, we need consistency of performance against them.
We have a raft of side's just behind us only 3 points adrift, but we have also closed the gap on Sheff utd in 5th, 5 points behind but they hold the game in hand.

Preston are a really good solid team with plenty of threat up front, if we can go there and get a point or even better win, then we have a good chance of fixing ourselves into the play off positions.
From second down everything is up for grabs, Consistency is the key.

A bit long winded my post i am trying to shorten them, people lose interest after the first line i think.

Sammy, I like to read the introduction and the conclusion but the middle chapters I skip over.

You have to have patience i get there eventually , your one of those people who can't wait to read the whole book and go to the last page aren't you Copps?

[Donnyjim]

Or you could just look at this. A picture paints...etc

Crikey, so we're 3rd, 6th and 5th in all the form tables. Better call off the season.

I got my info off the soccerway site Jim, so we are third and my post is not really any good

Did no one think we got the tactics wrong today. We seemed to lack width numerous times when Edna n wabara could not get forward

I thought we looked shaky in defence in both halfs and that Dickov should have changed it a lot sooner than he did 2nd half

I thought wellens played some really good passes but a lot of dreadful ones as well today and would have tried razak in his place for 20-30 mins or so

He also seemed to sub players as they were having more of an influence such as razak and Tyson

The team really did not seem to play with much rhythm/tempo today which I think added to the flat atmosphere as there was not a huge amount to get excited about in our football today

[Sammy Chung was King]

He just seemed to pick all of his most reliable player, just made the team solid and hard to beat so they could control the midfield.
With the team he picked if the full backs didn't play well then width would be almost nil, twenty odd shots on goals is really good t say we had a few flair players not picked to start.
Being greedy it could have been more than 2-0, but i was happy if we had scraped a scruffy 1-0, the team did what needed to be done to win the game.

Wellens can often look that way if he is not on his game because he can play passes the others are not capable of, and they don't come off in some games, he has Premier league vision playing with league one players who don't read what he is doing.
He doesn't see 100% i am almost sure he is carrying a small injury of some sort.

The OP lost my interest when he said we had got 10 points from the last 18.

Surely 3 wins, 2 losses then a win is 12 points?

Correct IDM a bit of laziness just copying results from soccerway, lesson learned

And if they had scored their penalty today it would have been  totally different game. PD says over the last few weeks we've played a lot of "get out of jail cards" yesterday was no exception. I thought we looked very vulnerable in the 1st half and when the lad stared skinning wabara for fun in the 2nd half I feared the worst. we were the better, just, of two mediocre teams yesterday JMHO
