Title: Chorley
Post by: Dipdodah on November 19, 2021, 04:17:57 PM
Tomorrow we play our boogie team Chorley.  It's always a hard game, even when we are on form.  I know several people are boycotting the game until things change at the top.  I can tell you, this will not influence DN.  DN knows there is a problem.  What the team needs, is our support.  So let's get down there tomorrow and show the lads our support.  Let's be that 12th man.  The Townend need to get behind the team from the start.  CE, if you read these comments, play it on the bloody ground.  Else you could be making DN's mind up for him.

Agree with that. Boycotters can hardly (by definition) also be called supporters.
Also agree with playing on the ground but at speed…
Good Luck to Craig and the whole team!

I'm with you Dipdodah. Everyone knows, as a fact, what Cloughie said about God and football. His early Forest teams played "switch-back football". The ball was passed on the deck, at speed, until the defence faced the lethal combination of John Robertson 1 on 1 with a very worried full-back. 8 times out of 10 Robertson jinked his way fee to deliver a killer cross. At our level, Leesley can do that job. No more hoof-ball.

Chorley are a tough nut to crack - second meanest defence in the league. If our defence aren't the most confident at the moment then I'm not too keen on them playing it around on the ground as too many times I see errors like this. This only works if the midfield are really proactive in coming to take the ball off them with short passes. To be honest, I don't care how we get a result.

Our away form is poor but in total we've won more than lost and no need for panic. Its not like we're second from bottom. Remember the Murray reign - DN wasn't going to panic then - and he won't now.

As for boycotting the game I think it is ridiculous, these are not supporters and these are people who have only seen home games. Goodness knows how they would feel if they saw the away games. As you say Mick let's all get behind them today.  UTP

dipdoh what a load of crap. The crowd were right behind the team at the end of both halves and applauded them off.  Nearly 200 people on the lounges today after the game people mingling and taking about the game in a positive stroke negative way. We are still there or there abouts. If its that crap don’t go it’s an easy choice. It’s easy to be critical every week but for once can we not enjoy a point at the death.

A point fully deserved. But what a save to keep it at 1-2. The reaction from their guy was priceless. He just couldn't believe it. Two good goals and two foul-ups. Got my money's worth today.

Fully agree with these comments. We were excellent in the first half and went on to fully deserve our point. The keeper looked outstanding. Great support today when the chips were down….

Confidence low pre-Chorley. A new keeper; suspect defence need time to get used to him and build confidence. Keeper was superb, defence still suspect at times although true quality in No.18 Ayina and Ferguson. Duxbury had a poor game and should have been substituted 10 minutes earlier. Had that happened my guess is that it might have ended 3-2 as our blood was truly up in last 10 minutes. No disgrace overall. Very happy with a point against that lot. A little more urgency in the build up (often slower pace makes us too predictable) and growing confidence b/w keeper and back 4/5 then maybe....

Summed up nicely Prof.  I am disappointed with the draw, I thought we were the better team. But I was very impressed with the attitude of the players and the fans.  A very good turnout considering our recent form.  Bring on Tuesday.
