Southend & Carlisle

[British Bulldog]

So there's now doubt's if Wilkins is up to the job after a good start, but who honestly thought we was gonna win these games anyway? I did'nt! both difficult away games against teams unbeaten at home. Give the fella time!

Well said, I looked at the fixtures and reckoned that if we could get anything from the games at Southend, Carlisle and Yeovil it would be an absolute bonus. We have been edged out in one, lost reasonably badly in another, there is one to go and I reckon a point from Yeovil would be a good return.

I honestly expected to win one.

Yep. I don't know about today because I didn't go but Southend, I doubt if any manager could have got much more out of our players, it was a very good performance, marred by a crass error at the end.

 

[Mr C]

We really should be beating teams like Carlisle and Yeovil though

 

[Loft23]

I never expected us to beat Southend and I knew it would be hard to get anything out of the Carlisle game today as there home form is tremendous. I don't expect us to get anything from Yeovil on Tuesday either!

A point at Yeovil would be a good return given the fixture's we've had.

Errors are gonna happen with our young squad, Especially with the way things have happened lately. Whatever the right's or wrong's and people's opinions of it we've had a manager sacked, Wilkins take over and a glut of fixture's that would have tested the best of manager's. I think the whole club needs a bit of a settled period to get things into perspective.

Didn't expect anything but disapointed with the apparant poor performance in the 1st half.

The manner of the defeat at Southend was hard to swallow and probably was hard for the staff to take. 'Probably reflected on the Carlisle match too.
Shite happens though, and on reflection he should certainly be given margin for error.
Come on DW and the lads, today is the first day in the rest of your life.

I said to some Carlisle fans before the game that I expected them to beat us, probably 2-1 and would kill for a draw, but as long as we scored I'd be happy. The jinx of Aaron the mini-Alba (Forth Valley Albas - not the splitters) is over.. at last he's seen us score!!!

Celebrates with a pint...?

 

[Gully]

At least he was strong enough to lift it, take it that he didn't spill any!

Don't have to tell me on that, that's exactly what I said after Brentford and Crewe. Did you, though?
