The key to getting promoted from this league is consistency. The two to go up automatically will be the most consistent. Almost all the teams from about 15 upwards have won and lost to teams unexpectedly.

Totally agree.
Positive performances yesterday but these need to be repeated consistently.
 



Whilst I appreciate the general sense of your post I have to say that the only way of getting towards the opposition goal wherein a ball has to be deposited to win is to go "forward" in the sense of towards that opposition goal. This does seem to be problem for this team and whilst I would lately have laid this at the door of Adkins, I really cannot lay blame on him tonight for JCR who has been given his chance to do exactly what we need and for some unknown reason neshed it.
 
The booing is becoming like X factor. Get a grip. Adams sounding on good form.
 
Fuming at the idiots who were booing tonight.
Ok so we weren't sparkling but Fleetwood came for a draw and we had to be patient. Yes we need to speed things up and yes we will need to be better on Saturday but booing a team at 3-0 up is pathetic, just pathetic.
Hang your heads in shame.

I can't believe it was that bad!

Of course you are right. The whole idea is to go forward.

Just try to understand WHY the team have been ORDERED by Adkins to go backwards at times in order to go forwards !!

To be blunt to all those pricks jeering at the back passes tonight, the tactics are set, Adkns WILL NOT change his possession based football mantra, so stop fucking moaning about it.

Maybe even learn to appreciate what they are doing and more importantly, why.

A few very vocal pockets doing it from about 10 minutes in until about 10 minutes from the end, when folk started yelling back at them to shut the f**k up.

I don't know why I am even annoyed to be honest, it's almost expected now at the lane.

No wonder opposition teams enjoy coming here. David Flitcroft's comments make total sense.

It was cringeworthy tonight, equally so the disconnect in these fans that our ball retention was one of the main contributors to tonights clean sheet!
 
Had we got Sean O'Driscoll in all those years ago, he'd have been dismembered by a baying mob attacking the technical area.
 
The first half was mediocre and I felt we was lucky to go in a goal up as I don't think we merited it on play and Fleetwood had been unlucky on a couple of occasions, one when Howard spelled a regulation cross, but as we was a goal up I cheered them off instead of booing.

I fully understand. I have watched for 55 years and played for over 30 years. My point was that one particular player, given an opportunity to do what we all believe he can do and professes that he wishes to do and who could have been the catalyst for a sparkling performance just simply didn't turn up. AND I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY!!!!!! I can see the tactics. I haven't got a problem with them except for the pace they are delivered at.
 
Winning always comes first for me but it has to be said that some of our football, particularly in the 1st half, was shocking. And it has been for much of the last 18 months. I don't agree with the booing though but I can understand the frustration. And I won't slag off our fans as on the whole our support is incredible considering we have underperformed for years.
 
I be not booing but my god the last twenty minutes of that game was so boring, also that first half display was also atrocious.
Thank you Che and Sharp for saving us tonight, if it wasn't for you chaps that would have gone down as one of the dullest matches in footballing history.
 
I'm not one for slagging off the fans, I think they get blamed for far too much (especially on this board) but my God they were bad tonight.

It was one thing complaining relentlessly when the team are winning but what really annoyed me was that the penny didn't drop that we created those chances second half largely because we'd worn them down with so much possession earlier on.

I'm pretty sure the booing after the final whistle was aimed at the ref though.

If we win the next 32 matches 3-0 playing like that, basically I wouldn't give a damn.
 
Sad to say but the atmosphere is dying at the Lane. I sit on the kop,and it's painful to sit and listen to people arond me loudly complain about everything. One particular guy complains when we keep the ball at the back 'gerrit forward for crying out loud' but when we try risky passes forward to try and break up a team (that sets out with 11 men behind the ball) and lose it he'll complain. They can't win.

I don't get the booing at all, we was 1 nil up and keeping the ball, keeping them from having the ball means they can't score, it also means they have to do a lot of chasing, What's wrong with that?. Sometimes patience is needed!
 
I didn't hear any booing at half time, I also didn't hear much applause to fair either, the first half, the first minute apart was pretty dire in all honesty, however much better second half.

I have no problem with keeping the ball as long as there is an attempt at meaning full end product through midfield. What I don't understand is passing it around for about ten passes in the back four before lumping an aimless ball forward hoping to win the second ball, you might as well have done that straight away.
 
I think the booing started because we started well and on the front foot and got the goal. only then to feck around with it at the back and side ways when we needed to go full pelt at them for the second

Problem is, you can't go full pelt at a side when you are effectively 4-2-4 with the opposition flooding midfield :)

I think a little more pace on the possession football and perhaps a few less hospital balls would have helped keep the crowd a bit happier... Other than those that spontaneously combust at every sideways or backwards pass regardless of its merits.

I'm positive that one week soon, someone sat around me is going to boo a corner kick because the ball wasn't played directly forwards.
