i didn't go, but i can understand bringing odejayi on for margets to defend the lead. odejayi potentially offers the opportunity to win defensive headers when the ball's being launched in, and also win headers/hold the ball up from clearances. margets doesn't really do a lot for the team from what i have seen. just more crap luck, basically.
however, from the reports on here and over the 'phone from a mate who went (and who is often pretty negative about county), it was a vastly improved -almost night and day- performance from saturday's. if they're really putting in the effort, which they apparently were, and can keep doing that, sooner or later we'll start to overpower the bad luck and poor confidence and start winning again. i haven't given up on the play offs at all. it requires a run of form and we just have to get the balance right to achieve that. i hear baggie was much better today, and brewster sounded a threat again. those are the kinds of launch points we can use to start a run. not saying it will happen, but it could. i'm not going to break into 'don't stop believing' just yet...but...well...don't.

That's a fair comment, mate, but my point was that it backfired, like many of his ideas seemed to have this season. There's only so much you can put down to sh*t happens, but nowhere near enough to cover the amount of sh*t that's happened so far this season. We'll never know if not making that change would have resulted in a different outcome, but we know that making it did bugger all to stop it!

yeah, that's a fair point. and while i may agree with it as a tactic, the good intention clearly proved to be our undoing. can only assume he's driven through a mirror factory followed by a black cat rescue centre.

Much much better performance and we were desperately unlucky to not get 3 points, whilst I appreciate Big K's clear dejection at what he'd just done and he was obviously gutted, sentiment will get us NOWHERE! I would play for County for free with the best intentions in the World, but would I be a good signing? Would I hell!
For me, Neil Young's job is going to be saved or condemned at Harrogate...1 point from the festive period is unacceptable. 1 win from 13 is just atrocious!

It looked like quite a good performance going off the highlights, on another day we would have been out of sight had a couple of Ledsham's and Brewster's chances gone in.
For their goal it was a silly free-kick to give away, Evans was suckered by quick feet. It was near the by-line but you don't want players on the posts as the opposition could push right up to the goal line. Once the free-kick was taken and the looping header is goalwards Odejayi takes up a good position covering his keeper. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, he couldn't complete the clearance which would have saved two points and had him hailed as a hero.
