I simply said we deserved a point overall, which is not particularly controversial.
My point was they should not really be miffed, as they did not deserve to win. Their fans agree with me if you look on their forum.Never said it was. You seemed to take issue with me saying to Boz if anybody was going to be miffed it would be them......given the daft pen decision. Otherwise a close game.
They are probably of limited use then......The Sky highlights were minimal and don't include the 'sitter' missed by Saunders.

With average finishing ourselves, we could have won the game comfortably today.Certainly, I’ve seen many similar not given. With average finishing by our opponents, we could have lost both home games.
If we sell both Hawkes and Bristow, plus inevitably losing Cogley, we will lose virtually all of the genuine quality we have in the squad in the attacking areas. I doubt the fees received for those players would cover the cost of replacements, bring in a couple of good strikers, and go some way to covering the losses we are incurring.However, we could earn a lot by selling O’Connor, Hawkes and Bristow. That will pay for a lot of squad strengthening. If we can find a couple of strikers and unearth some more gems to replace them to afford new players, next season could be different.
Then you really have to wonder how on earth he was given a contract until 30th June 2024His finishing is North West Counties standard in all honesty.
Because he is the best we can afford.Then you really have to wonder how on earth he was given a contract until 30th June 2024
I think his comparison to the NLN is overly harsh tbh. Apart from hitting the back if the net he has caused more problems for the opposition defence than any of our other attackers this season. We really need to see him alongside Kane for a period to make a real judgement.Because he is the best we can afford.
Agreed, but that’s not my point. I was trying to say that if we play like that against teams in the top half we won’t get anything. Hence, we won’t get enough points to reach the playoffs. Considering we are just eight points (three wins) off the playoffs, it’s clear that with a half-decent strike force we’d be up there. We are not a bad side, just a rather toothless one.With average finishing ourselves, we could have won the game comfortably today.
For some reason the video yesterday couldn't deal with motion and stuttered throughout. I half watched it and saw the highlights. The injuries disrupted a solid unit bar the powder puff attack. Hendry was dominant in the middle and Merrie proved more evidence he has the best pass at the club.The Sky highlights were minimal and don't include the 'sitter' missed by Saunders. Aside from the penalty, the only other Rovers goal effort shown was when Saunders puts Burton through and he brings a save out of the keeper. I'd put it in the 'could do better' category, but it was not as good an opportunity as the one Saunders gave to Hemmings in the Doncaster away game, which was hit straight at the Donny keeper without any power.
I'm not convinced about our penalty, although from the footage, it did appear to be in the area.
It was a tongue in cheek comment, but his finishing has been extremely poor so far. Yes, he offers more in general play then Nevitt and he is a better footballer, but he does not remotely look like the natural goalscorer we desperately need, irrrespective of his striking partner.I think his comparison to the NLN is overly harsh tbh.

Although we have beaten the top two in recent weeks by scoring a single goal with not too dissimilar performances. But no, we don't score enough goals to be serious promotion contenders.I was trying to say that if we play like that against teams in the top half we won’t get anything.
