Well when you lose a game you should have won and dominate , the other team tends to appear crap

Some of the wiser posters on there say Cardiff were very lucky ....which is true ....but grabbed the points by clinging on

I would be gutted but I am very happy to stop the rot

A few people on here said there was no sign of the next win

Well today we got it

Yes, Alnwick was our MOM in my eyes

Re: Owlstalk Online

Never understood this whole “that opponent was the worst team in the league argument”

Some sort of bullshit solace to shield them from the fact that they are indeed crap and lost out to a side who wanted it more.

6 points from them. Hope they stay up so we can help ourselves again next year.

I didn’t see all the game but other than one really good save, I felt he should have dealt with the rest quite comfortably and he did.

He's been good all season. I can't fathom why he has been dropped twice

Re: Owlstalk Online

Also interesting that Alnwick kicked it long when he felt it was needed, instead of sticking to that awful 'play out from the back' business. Trying to play out from the back has cost us a few goals this season, and as far as I'm concerned, that's the best reason to stop doing it.

Yep, mix it up. I’ve noticed in Premier League games I’ve watched recently teams are binning it, going wide or certainly longer. I look at it this way, if a defending team is awarded a free kick, say, ten yards from the by line and just outside the box, an opposing forward invariably covers the pass back to the ‘keeper, does the taker pass it two yards to a colleague or try to find a team mate upfield? I’d say the latter. It’s common sense for the defending team not to box themselves in, especially when they haven’t got the personnel to tiki taka it up the pitch. We certainly haven’t got that personnel and should treat goal kicks the same.

Bulut doesn’t strike me as a tactical genius. I’d give anything to see a purposeful move….forwards.

Name one? Which infers the rest are because we didn't 'play-out from the back'?
