[QUOTE=pagl;2124797]Basically because he isnt good enough. Missed opportunity for 3 points today and then there were 8 to go. Every missed chance costs dearly at this stage.
Not going to grab the fans for next Saturdays game is it?[/QUOTE]



I didn't say he was good enough and you can add at least another 6 to him, I said it because Foxy puts it because he missed a sitter!! Going by that thinking Quigley should of been dropped after missing from 2 yards a winner against Aldershot which cost us 2 points also, now as I see it nobody should be offered an extension Holroyd included until a new manager decides if he wants him, yes Boden has been another poor signing by Keates.

[QUOTE=totesey2;2124809]He is a good shot stopper but poor in the air, A goalkeeper who constantly punches balls away obviously lacks confidence with high balls in his box, He is a tall keeper and should be able to take balls in the air and dominate his area which he clearly is unable to do so.[/QUOTE]

Let's be honest, he's garbage. As soon as Coddington was available we should have snapped him up. No ifs, no buts.

Re: Woking (A) reaction thread
 

Was disappointed we didn't get 3pts but a draw was a fair result.

Overall - we played well, some good shots on goal ( Kelly esp),

Bodin missed sitter in last minute::freak::furious:

Woking fightIng to stay out of relegation zone and their keeper got their MOM

We are definitely still in mix

really flippin cold - couple of wxm fans watched it through a window from inside the ( scout hut standard) toilets!:toilet:

still in the mix - anything can happen in this league COYR!!:hurray:

[QUOTE=riccardo;2124780]Back in the race for the title? We’d never string 3 or 4 wins together to sustain a challenge, we’ll just draw our way into the playoffs and hope to win on penalties...[/QUOTE]

We cannot string 3 or 4 passes together, thus we cannot see games out. When you keep smashing the ball back to the opposition with plenty of time left on the clock, they are going to keep coming back at you.

Our midfield isn’t good enough, both out wide and in the middle. Hard work and
grit only gets you so far. Ball retention has been an issue all season.

Re: Woking (A) reaction thread
 

Pagl the missed opportunity for a win today isn't solely down to Bodens miss as I'm sure Those who went will tell you , it was down to their goalkeeper having a stormer & individual errors Woking hit the crossbar.

We were lucky to get a draw in the end, blatant pen for woking in the last minute when Pearson pushed their striker who was in on goal.
Played well in parts, Kelly was my motm. We seemed to fall apart when he went off.

Coddington has made some real blunders since joining Guiseley, looking at their highlights. Maybe he isn't the complete keeper we thought he was.

Good call, unless he had a knock Quigley shouldn't have been substituted his first touch is streets ahead of any other strikers we have. We don't have enough to be promoted from what I've seen this season, constantly looking vulnerable from set-pieces and stating the obvious we simply can't kill teams off, the miss by Boden at the end a classic case in point.
Great support as always today in horrible conditions, well done to all especially the lads in the Guinness hats !!! You certainly gave the lino some stick first half, all deserved too !!
Boy was it windy, almost impossible for the keepers to reach the halfway line kicking from the main stand behind the goal. Ho hum we go again next week need to consolidate the playoffs now as we need 2nd or 3rd I suspect

Re: Woking (A) reaction thread
 

[QUOTE=Redted;2124771]Yet another two points dropped against a poor Woking side. Draws are killing us and it looks like the caretaker management team made a bit of a mess on the tactical front today[/QUOTE]

Just out of curiosity... but was you there ? or basing your opinion on radio commentary?

i personally wasn't there.. but going by the radio commentary.. we sounded pretty good going forward with a fair amount of attacking threat.... and if not for their keeper having one of that anomaly of games with multiple great saves.. we would of won comfortably.

yes some will try negate that by saying it was his fault for our 2nd... but that stll doesn't derive away from what he seemed to have was a excellent game

would like to hear an UNBIASED view either way on how we performed and set up from somebody who actually went today .. as norally for away games there does tend to be more radio pundits than those at game

Re: Woking (A) reaction thread
 

p.s from radio seemed as though Quigley had a quiet game by his standards...

and Deverdics sounded crap.. even commentators were calling for him to be subbed.

Re: Woking (A) reaction thread
 

Keep an eye on Bromley with their games in hand, the home game against Borehamwood become important now.

Hmmm, not sure. I thought Raven played well. Towards the end woking just launched balls over the top and all our team seemed to panic.

Absolutely spot on, we are lucky to get the point in the end, that was a nailed on penalty for Woking but both ref and Lino missed it, thank God. But it should ever have got to that - we went behind early to a headed goal from a corner despite being the better side. We upped our game and deservedly equalised before HT. In the 2nd half we were in total control and played lovely attractive passing football which Kelly topped with a belting long range shot. Woking were really onthe ropes, and we just needed a 3rd to kill the game, but their keeper played a blinder and we missed several golden chances. Then out of the blue they breakaway , their forward does a ‘Kelly’ and hits a shot from long range which hits angle of post/crossbar bounces along the line before we put it out for a corner. As per 1st half, their boy gets up above everyone else and scores a great headed goal as Dunn’s struggles to get to him.
Then the tables turn and we crumble - we desperately throw on subs as they pour forward and we get a stroke of luck when the ref misses an obvious pen for them. Then Boden fluffs an easy chance in the + 4 mins. Luckily the other results went our way, but if we make the playoffs games like this will go to ET and pens and we don’t seem to have the bottle for those sort of tasks

Re: Woking (A) reaction thread
 

have we missed a pen this season?

Overall, based on what has been said by fans who were there today, we've got to be happy with the performance and the result. Another big game next Saturday. To finish 2nd or 3rd at the very least is still very much on.

Re: Woking (A) reaction thread
 

After the week we've had its an ok result, no more than that. Some thoughts from someone who only gets to see the Reds play when they come down south:

- Dont think the tactics were wrong as the OP suggests. We started off on the front foot but unfortunately went a goal behind from an early corner when Pearson lost his man. I thought SP was less dominant than usual.

- As someone suggests Quigley did have a quiet game for him but was still a threat when he got the ball. Surprised when he was subbed and sadly they equalised soon afterwards.

- Kelly was my MOM - a cracking goal and could have got a hat trick (one well placed shot tipped over by the keeper and another blocked by a defender). We had no creative spark when he went off.

- Deverdics was poor, I dont think he has added anything to the team and he should have been the first to be hooked. Frequently took the wrong option when we were threatening in the second half.

- Carra had a good steady game, not troubled in defence and got forward a few times. Raven I thought was a bit shaky early on but soon settled. Wedge was his usual busy self and Holroyd was lively and got into a few dangerous positions. At the end Boden skied the ball when it would have been easier to bury it.

- We were really dominant in the first 20 minutes of the second half but their goalie kept them in it with a string of fine saves. They could have had a pen and also hit the crossbar. We could easily have come away with nothing.

So it's on to Maidstone next weekend which is a must win game then I'll be off to Bromley on Good Friday in the hope that we can break our duck there.

[QUOTE=Rob;2124855]Promising to hear Kelly has done well from those there and radio.[/QUOTE]

He was superb today, was at the heart of everything, moved the ball well and had plenty of shots, could of had a hat-trick but their keeper had a great game!
When we took Quigley off we lost any physicality up top and could no longer hold the ball up, Ainge would have been the perfect man to do that! Poor substitution imo.

Re: Woking (A) reaction thread
 

Was it me or did we appear to be a bit more direct today than under Keates. Kelly in particular seemed to forwards more than sideways.

Am I imagining that?

Spot on!
Feel a lot better about it all after listening to that. Today hasn't been too bad a day when you look at some of the other results.

What I liked about this Pearson interview was he had a kind of relaxed demeanour, more or less we are going to do this, we are going to finish the job. He is the kind of bloke you would want to be led by!

I just hope whoever takes over gets him on another contract with a clause in that he can do whatever he likes around the club in the next 2-3 years, learn his coaching badges, put his feet up when he feels like and basically lets get this lad signed up so we can keep him "in the building". It isn't often we get a player like this here.
