I wonder whether he will keep his place for Liverpool? It would be very harsh on him to be dropped, but Gunny is in superb form at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunn Batth Duffy Hanley Gibson Stacey Fisher Giannoulis McCallum Sorenson Mclean Not a bad idea. About half of them have scored for us this year, so it wouldn't be like we were being overly defensive and not having any attacking threat on the field.

Jim Smith 2,322 Posted January 17 Went to the game tonight. Horrendous first half. Really bad. To be fair big improvement second half and I thought we looked really sharp on the break for 15-20 minutes or so until Wagner made one of his ridiculous substitutions and took off all our pace on the counter when we were causing them lots of problems. This prompted a wobble but we eventually killed the game off. Nunez is now an important player for us and made a big difference. There were spells in that game when he, Sara and Sainz started to move the ball quickly and we looked a good side. Only spells though. There is a team in there, if only it could be unleashed more regularly. 8 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't see the game but from the commentary it sounded as though we lost our way a bit and allowed Rovers something of a foothold to stay in the game. Definitely a game of two halves. Nunez and McCallum's names were quite prominent which is a bit unfortunate for Sorensen as he never seems to get a chance in his preferred position! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McCallum had a pretty ropey first half but was very good going forward after the break. Sorensen was playing CB for the last hour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,138 Posted January 17 (edited) We won. The manager is not going to be here next season so just enjoy it. I and most of you on here were not one of the 800 fans who traveled tonight and there wasn't a stream so nobody can really comment on performance. Wagner will be gone next season, we're not going up or down so just try to enjoy every win, take each game as it comes and just try to enjoy it in any way you can. Yeah we had to struggled to beat a L1 team but most of us have watched a non-league Luton beat our PL team in the early 2010's, it happens, you've all witnessed an uncountable amount of cup upsets over the years. The prize money really matters for lower league clubs and they are always going to be well up for it. So it's always going to be a struggle. I get why people are still annoyed despite the win, our immediate future and our momentum really matters, our performances in the cup matter, it does say a lot about where we're at and where we're going to finish in the league. But nothing is going to change before the end of this season unless we lose 4/5 in a row and the club are forced to act, but even then we'd only appoint a caretaker to see us through to the end of this season and even then we're not getting promoted with this set of players. Next season we'll have a new head coach and a different team so things will be different. But just for now enjoy it when we win. Wagner was never getting sacked tonight even if we lost. I really understand and emphasize with people who think we need a bad result or run of bad results to force the club to act because in the past when they've been forced to act (Gunn and Adams) we've had an immediate upturn but it's not going to happen this season so just try to enjoy it. We won tonight, we've got a fun tie against Liverpool up next and we'll all get to watch the game if we're not part of the hardcore away following. We'll probably lose but we get to watch Norwich again live on TV. When you're a mid table team and it's not your year you've just got to take the little wins as they come. I'm looking forward to watching the game and seeing how our better players do against top opposition. Edited January 17 by Christoph Stiepermann 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaberry2 550 Posted January 18 I really hope regardless of short term performances we don't give the likes of Sorenson a new contract and others like him. Players which just aren't good enough and a rebuild is needed. Accepting mediocrity is something we have done for far too long 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Starr 519 Posted January 18 to be honest, Bristol rovers came out all guns blazing super high energy and would have given any team something to think about. However, that intensity was never going to last and I do feel that it was slightly more comfortable in the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
