Title: Shambolic win
Post by: Chelsea on August 31, 2013, 05:28:17 PM
Must be the worst winning performance at York street in years.
Ashley Timms performed like a clown must have been drugged
Piergani Ward like distribution
Ross didnt turn up
Crown below 1000 wonder why???

Couldn't make the game today so thought i'd listen to it on the radio. On, off, on, off on, off all game, in the end I gave up and did the ironing!!

Check the grassy knoll and is there any news on Indy?  :bunny

Chelsea, the name says it all get a season ticket and go watch the real deal earning a fortune per week or stay in and watch Sky Sports we are playing at the level we are at.

He's right, it was shocking. :-\

Worcester were awful but we gave them a sniff, if we play like that against one of the big, physical Northern sides we'll get hammered like we did on Monday.

But we won, and three points is three points, frankly if we play that bad every week and win I'll not complain.

File under 'forgotten on Sunday morning'.

Agree about the keeper. He didn't cover himself in glory but still only let in a tap-in he could do little about (although you could argue his hospital pass led indirectly to their goal). A few positives though. Miller ran his socks off, Marshall was solid and Newsham put himself about a bit. Anyway, don't good teams win even when they have an off day?

As a fan there can never be a bad win home or away, there can be lucky wins like today, you are obviously not a fan but someone who only posts on here to belittle the club and its players.

Agree with oxo. Today was not a classic but who cares we got 3 points and after first 5 games have ten points. Very solid start to season and let's get behind the team and kick on now.

sorry completely disagree...
A wins a win at any level.
Admitadely we did our utmost to try and give Worcester a share of the points ...a poor penalty from Newsh and diabolical defensive play for their on a plate equaliser...
They say that the sign of a good team is that you win when you play badly....
As for the attendance today,I suspect it will turn out to be one of the best in non league football this weekend...

Lets be positive with our postings eh and support the team please....

I've seen us play so many games being the better team and losing-so not too concerned to win playing badly. Isn't that what all good teams do?

You've been watching to much telly fella, you want to get out a bit more and live in the real world. Most clubs at our level will have days like we did today and most of them would have lost we didn't . As for entertainment you pay your money you take your chance, if you don't  like it stick with your sky package.

im sorry but 'chelsea' you are deluded! These are the type of 3 points that will make the difference come April, when we dont play very well but come away with all 3 points! Personally i thought first half we looked very threatening and could perhaps scored more but one lapse in defence let them back into it, so second half they had it all to fight for but we dug in and ground out the result thats all that matters

I seem to remember the home game last year v Worcester.......we dominated long periods of the game, had numerous chances and went into the last 5 at 1-1.

Then we either hit the woodwork, the keeper made a save or something of that ilk and they went straight up the other end and nicked an 86th minute winner.

So, at the risk of being a happy clapper I'll take today's game every day of the week if it means 3 points for us.

Personally I thought we played very well first half and were unlucky not to go in a goal or two up with their only chance being the goal Bore handed to them on a plate. The ref handled the penalty situation poorly with their players showing very poor sportsmanship especially their No10 who kicked the ball off the penalty spot and should have been booked giving Newsham a minute to compose himself (who has a decent record from the spot.) Second half we started as we finished the first creating good chances and the scoring a good team goal. After we went in front we defended poorly and road our luck without conceding too many clear chances.

Teams that can win ugly , go onto success.  And that is what we did today.  Only gripe i have with todays game was the hoof ball game when we have the players to play good football on the deck. I disagree with the comment about our keeper. He directed the back line superb to keep them on their toes as best as he could during shaky times and once again his kicking was awesome.  Would some on here prefer Haystead back ?!!

I was stood in Spain Road terrace,when we were hoofing it early in 1st half all you could hear was "get it on floor too feet",this we then did and were getting closed down very quickly,then the same ones who asked for it to be too feet began shouting hit it long... .. Also makes me laugh when we have possession and pass it back either from forwards to midfield or midfield to defence (keeping possession) they all shout get it forward,mmmmmm they would if there was a way through but it blocked,would you continue driving your car forwards if you were heading towards a brick wall???

Yeah it was ugly today,but every season on MOTD the pundits say "if you win whilst playing badly then that is the sign of champions.... As others have said,we got 3 points and that's all that matters..... Ref was shocking,the player leaving the pitch as Newsh was waiting to take penalty should have been made to get off quicker,player who kicked ball off spot should have seen a yellow card... When they kicked off after our goal Milnes was still inside the centre circle..... Their number 9 should have been cautioned for diving,and number 6,everytime the ball was up to Miller he would look around and see he was in danger and go to ground,one winning the free kick(s) he would be grinning like a cheshire cat... Oh,and it was a penalty late in second half when he shoved Miller to the floor but the officials were blind to that one too...

Might not have been overly fluent or convincing, but for any neutral watching, is was certainly an entertaining and incident packed game and am sorry three points even if not thoroughly deserved is still three points, so where's the problem. I don't know why or how anyone can really complain at that, especially our friend Chelsea who seemingly never stops moaning about everything. Jesus, ten points from fifteen is surely a really decent return isn't it , did anyone honestly expect much better than that

That said, I would like to see more players bursting a gut to get forward, especially through the middle, as too many times our front three if you could really describe them as a 'three' found themselves somewhat isolated, especially when chasing another missile from Timms.

It's still really early days, and yes tweaking needs to happen if they are to become more consistent, but at least we have something positive to work on, not least those three points, and when not being at our best surely that's the biggest positive of the lot isn't it?

3 points against a poor side,   last season we were getting nothing against the lower teams.

Not a chance.

But I'm glad we have a few players who actually look interested and bothered when we let a goal in, it makes the dog days of Jason Lee and the 'couldn't care less' attitude about the place seem a long way off. Its nothing like the S&H approach where even conceding affronted them and the players, but its a start on the long road back to semi respectability.

Shame the team don't get better support but its very easy to lose support, its a big job to win them back though. A decent FA Cup run would help a lot though.

Although I couldn't attend the game, from reading some of the replies on here about a "shambolic win", and trying to defend a lead, if anyone watched them can I point them towards the Liverpool and Arsenal games, both scored early and defended to the end, I don't remember their managers defending their tactics.  A win is a win in anyones  language!

The whole topic started by the idiot (or WUM) who wants to ditch Newsham.

Still, as Newsh missed a pen, he'd probably wants his contract terminating. 

Boo, Bloody rubbish win.
