I love quotes like this. On what basis should we win it. You have to earn the win, its not won on paper ergo we are 1-0 down and not playing great at all
Title: Re: Wimbledon v TLOD
Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on November 09, 2019, 03:51:19 pm
Sounds like we switched off at the worst moment, just before the break. Three good chances go begging especially Thomas and now we've got an uphill task.

Totally agree mate. Piggot and Appiah have always given us trouble; and Wordsworth, Pinnock, and Wagstaffe are all decent players.

We've not lost yet, but people shouldn't count their chickens.

Really.?? Two down maybe, but at one nil anything can happen..

Are we really that pessimistic.?

It’s not pessimism at all - going a goal down changes the complexion of the game and makes it a lot harder to get anything out of the game ergo an uphill battle. Doesn’t mean the game’s over by any means, just more difficult.

If we hadn’t have equalised, say after 60-65 mins and then they score a second or we have a red card, then that would become an uphill struggle..

1-0 down at half time whilst we’re well in the game, anything can happen..
