Great 3 points despite the poor performance.
It's all about getting over the line and today got us the maximum points.

It wasn’t pretty but it IS 3 points. Last time I checked you don’t get bonus points for winning sexily.

No, but you do get bums on seats, increased enthusiasm for the club, better merchandise sales, more revenue, attracts better players, higher league position as a result, rinse and repeat.

I haven’t touched alcohol for five years, at half time today I almost said fuck it and was going to head into the Riverside.

That was absolutely umming, completely and utterly atrocious.

Also got told today that the managers job is Sheezy’s to lose. Barring a total collapse by us, I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t get the gig full time.

Aw well, 3 points so Uppafuckingswans!

Big summer coming up coach and player wise if we don’t keep a downward spiral

Well let's see what he does Wednesday night.
Lets try and get 3 points by playing with purpose and starting with a back 4.

The rail replacement bus service was considerably more enjoyable than the footy, but three points is three points.

By eck have we got some work to do in the summer. Got to find half a team and a full coaching team.

Not catching bus home. I’d rather stay out

Right. I think we’re in last chance saloon when it comes to stopping the rot. Need some stability, some professionalism from those running the club. If we don’t turn the corner next season we’ll probably be toast and back in league 1.

Positive about us staying up this year, but zooming out, we’re still a club on a downward trajectory, with a revolving door in the leadership of the club and no clear direction at head coach level right now and a squad with major weaknesses to address.

If they judge him on results then it’s all his.

If they judge him performance and tactics, they should not look further than 3rd May.

Derby were on a roll so Sheehan thought he would nullify it. That was not pretty to watch but three very big points. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but maybe he should have gone with a more attacking line from the off.
Right now, I don't care as there does appear to be some daylight forming between those bottom spots but it is not over yet.

 

[Ringwood]

Can't see 3 teams below getting 49 points now so the Plymouth game hopefully will get us over the line.

Very negative line up giving Derby far too much respect and paid the price for over an hour.

Plymouth need another win this week so not set up as we did today and trust the offensive players to deliver

Totally agree, but if his mindset is just to stay up even if another 6 0-0 draws.
Not a good watch, but in the short term if it achieves the objective?
It’s how we think he can build a more attractive style of play if he’s here next

 

[Swans Jack]

Very true. But it was damn ugly and I hope the Swans put their best suits on Wednesday as no excuses for negative football at home.

And breath...

 

[Copamundial]

We were deep in the shite prior to this game, we don’t have the quality or the character to play champagne football, today was Strongbow football but who cares, 3pts is 3pms and I’m delighted.

FAWANEWS has the Derby coverage. Keep saying how our delivery into the box is appalling. Not wrong there.

3 successful crosses out of 24 - abs sh1te deliveries into the box - but it only took 1 of the successful ones to score!!
