Bradwell canary 112 Posted August 21, 2023 After they went three up, after some really good football, what did they do then? Go for the jugular, no they started to play around in their own goal area. Which they are that good at. That is where this very entertaining game completely eased off for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We were 3-0 up - it was a hot day and it's a very long season - the game was comfortably won - under the circumstances what they did was completely understandable. But massive congratulations to you on your ingenuity in finding something to moan about. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrdi 411 Posted August 21, 2023 A clean sheet would've been lovely but as @Thirsty Lizard says, the game was won - it's called game management. As satisfying as it would've been winning by 5 or 6, there's no bonus points available for a bigger goal margin. We've scored 9 goals in 3 league games, that in itself is very satisfying already.

BroadstairsR 2,273 Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) I was hoping for a fourth, goal difference and all that. Then they scored. The substitutes were justifiable with the game won, but the impetus was handed to a poor Millwall side much more than should have been expected, and they were then able able to have their best spell (4 corners was it?) I thought the same thing as I did at St. Mary's ...... where was Gibbs? Edited August 21, 2023 by BroadstairsR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert N. LiM 6,284 Posted August 21, 2023 Think it's important to recognise that this board provides a valuable service for the terminally grumpy to let off some steam. There are probably fewer wives getting shouted at on Saturday nights, fewer cats getting kicked. Better we take the brunt than them - we're only virtual, after all.

keelansgrandad 6,680 Posted August 21, 2023 Of course it had nothing to do with substitutions, both theirs and ours. Games do change then and that is what is supposed to happen. They changed their midfield to try and compete more which they did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
