[Albion] Sign of a good team or lucky?

[Hyperion]

Swindon battered us for most of the game yet were probably going to win. Is that depth & quality or them going down to 10 men?

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

A bit of both me thinks

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Confidence is a major factor. IMHO, like.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Swindon one shot on target.

 

[sir albion]

Made 7 changes and have come through well...couple of great debuts tonight aswell

 

[Hyperion]

It's paid off by the looks of it but we sure rode our luck

 

[sir albion]

1 shot on target in 105 mins isn't good for a side who supposedly battered us mmmmm

 

[dingodan]

Could have been worse.

Ask Van Gaal.

The fat lady is having a bit of a wait

Class will out - but it took a bit of luck for that to happen tonight.

If you were there you would've known that the reason they only had one on target was because they were awful at shooting... Not because we defended well

Sadly true. Our defence got in some fabulous blocks, but as for closing opposition players down................................

It sounded like that on the radio.

I am not surprised; if Bolton were any good at shooting/heading they could have gone 0-3 up, instead of just one. We won 2-1.

In contrast, Wednesday did not create a proper chance and we lost 0-1.

I do not what the trouble was at Swindon, but we could all see the three clear chances Bolton had at the Amex.

Still gelling, room for improvement.
I am quietly optimistic about this season and think we will end up with a team of players and not one lone star, plus support act, which I think is good.

We win and people are still not happy, I remember the last game in the competition when we left it until late to wrap up the game. People on here saying we need more players and that we put out our best team and struggled.
Well since then we have got more players and for some of them, it's been straight into the team. Cup games are for the most, hard games, lower league teams step up and have more of a determination to do well.

Just do not believe some on here, we are in a transition period where it will take time for players to bed in, and yet we are still winning games. We have some quality players who will only get better as the season goes on.

This, several debuts and fringe players played and we won the game. Our new striker scored and JFC proved he can take penalties... Tex also came off the bench and changed the game by the sounds of it. Not much to moan about there for me.
