It can be doneOnly 8 points off a play off place!
Add Akpom to that body of evidence. And Bola.Yeah Wilder is being made to look even more of a mug with every game Hackney plays. He’s not perfect by any means but given the obvious struggles we had in midfield at the start of the season it is ridiculous that he ignored him.
It was apparent wasn’t it.You can see that we have been working on our shape, two lovely SIMPLE lines of four, Akpom slightly withdrawn with Forss/Muniz further forward. Lenihan and Fry at CB. Giles does not fill me with confidence at LB and was probably at fault for their goal (though Christie still needed a huge slice of luck) but scored one and missed one - ironically scored the one that he really had no right to and missed the one he should have put away!
Overall got to be happy with that performance (excluding the first twenty minutes of the second half)
Add Forrs to that as well he started tonight and looked hungry and up for it.Add Akpom to that body of evidence. And Bola.
It seems increasingly obvious that Wilder's man management was absolutely abysmal.
Lost 1-0Bristol c player straight red George tanner so he’s out
All kicking off
They came out second half and it was inevitable they would score - that was never a free kick for our second! And the third was a deflected cross. Possession they probably bossed - we got the rub of the green for me.It really couldn'
tt really couldn't. There goals was a wicked deflection, and I think Steffan made 1 good save and the rest was business as usual for a keeper.
They never looked like winning, despite some of the comments on here.
I nearly had Forss in that list. And Dijksteel.Add Forrs to that as well he started tonight and looked hungry and up for it.
Have to agree there, both are píss weak defensively, but Giles certainly can cross a ball. I’d rather have him left midfield, just for his threat from crosses and set pieces than McGree, then have Bola left back personallyGood result. Three takeaways from me on that:
Hackney looks comfortable at this level every time he plays. He has to stay in the side.
An awful lot of our problems are confidence, by and large we've got players who can perform at a higher level than they have been. Hopefully this result is the first step towards that happening.
Giles and McGree's shortcomings aren't a massive problem until you combine them. One or the other on the left hand side, but both is a recipe for disaster. Bullet dodged tonight.
Hopefully the club are looking to extend it, hopefully he is wanting to as well.Think out of contract June 2023?
I thought we played well in patches and looked up for it, better defending all round. You make your own luck, we deserved a bit. We have had it against us all season. They got lucky on their goal too.They came out second half and it was inevitable they would score - that was never a free kick for our second! And the third was a deflected cross.

Exactly result over performance really. Although some real positivesNot a night to analyse too much - 3 points is all that matters and moving away from the bottom three.
Pretty bang on there.I thought we played well in patches and looked up for it, better defending all round. You make your own luck, we deserved a bit. We have had it against us all season. They got lucky on their goal too.
Thought we deserved the win maybe 3-1 falttered us but attacking gets u that. Pleased for the team they worked hard.
Howson unsung hero today
Lenihan looked like a captain
Chuba excellent
Hackney barring a few mistakes is growing
Keeper looked sound
Big improvement but need a good performance sat now
