Kpekawa - great fit for the club - unfit to play against WHU .
Season 2016/17 - would have made the play offs if we had another couple of matches . |  |

A bit distant? More like a rapidly decreasing dot on the horizon. |  |

4 shots in 90 minutes would suggest we didn't get in "those areas" very often last night.
2 points from last 5 games is a dismal recent run and just 12 points from 13 games since the start of 2018 shows the rot is set in firmly. Most clubs would sack a manager in these circumstances...Mr Cowling will probably be ordering a statue. | |

Pre Stevenage
It’s been a while since we won a game, and we are still pushing,” explained McGreal.
“And yes, it has surprised me, having been in-and-around it (the play-offs) for so long.
“We have usually managed to pull it around, which we did last year.
“But I think this season we have drawn too many games, and also not scored enough goals.
Wondered where it all went wrong ! Anyway we are still pushing , call the midwife . | |

Post Stevenage
Boro rarely threatened an equaliser, so McGreal’s men finally ended their lean spell — it was their first victory in six matches.
“I thought some of our football was out of this world, especially in the first half, “ enthused McGreal.
“I always thought that it was good we had a couple of away games, after struggling at home with a couple of poor performances and a couple of poor results.
Certainly been in another galaxy JMc , but finally back to earth . | |

Post Luton.
I can’t think of Walks (keeper Sam Walker) really having a shot to save, in what was a thoroughly good game of football.”
Referring to Luke Berry’s third minute injury, which caused a 12-minute suspension in play, McGreal said: “It was a terrible injury, and we got the lads off (the pitch). It was bitterly disappointing for the boy because again he has been performing to a high standard this year.
“I don’t like to see fellow professionals go down with such injuries, and we are all hoping he is OK.
One wonders how we can drop home points previously after performances like this JMc . Agree nobody wants players leaving the field in this way, let's hope he makes a full quick recovery . | |

“Forest Green needed the win just as much as us, for different reasons, so this was a good all-round away team performance.
“But I’m not going to become embroiled in any talk of the play-offs.

Coleman, said: “Colchester are a good side and they posed us a few problems.
“But I don’t think anyone could begrudge us this win. We created the better chances.
“I thought this was a typical Accrington performance.
“Our aim from day one of this season was to get automatic promotion, and the players have really bought into that,” added Coleman.
Comfortable win for the vistors . Our aim on day one JMc - answers on a post card . | |

Post Notts C
“I thought we dominated for large chunks of the game. They had three shots and scored three goals.”
Even us numbskulls can see we have not progressed off and on the field this season. Time for McG and Ball to stand down, has even the basics for next season look less than convincing . [Post edited 14 Apr 2018 18:49]

Good job they didn't have more shots then!  |
Possession was 50/50 and we probably had more shots BUT their 'keeper had a quiet afternoon after the early goal. Scoring goals is a real problem.
Regardless of what Mandron may bring as a centre forward I'm afraid he isn't a natural goalscorer and he missed a sitter today. Szmodics was anonymous again and his good run late last year is now looking like an abberation rather than what we should expect on a regular basis. Beyond that goals are spread thinly. | |

Post Notts County
“We had 14 to 16 shots against Notts County (3-1 home defeat on Saturday). We have been hitting these targets and numbers every week, playing with plenty of width and pace, but we’ve only got two players with double figures this year. That proves we haven’t been good enough in this area.
Hitting those targets every week JMc ?
Have not been good enough in every area JMc , including team selection , subs and loanees , hence mid table mediocrity . | |

Nucleus of a good side? Pity we don't have the management to exploit that.
Things will happen this summer? Undoubtedly. Whether any of those things will actually improve performances, results and league position remains to be seen.
And what happened to giving it a really good go? Three defeats on the bounce isn't quite what we needed. | |

Post Lincoln
John McGreal said his team got hit by a late “sucker” at Lincoln City as his U’s side didn’t want to just play out a draw at Sincil Bank.
Having no info on the game, except result, read the above quote and then saw the highlights.
Very surprised given the above quote that that we did not lose possession in Lincoln half and counted all but one of our own players had parked the bus and still conceeded.
Only one lot of suckers here ! | |

Post Swindon
“Had it been a boxing match, it would have been over and I’m pleased with how we applied ourselves.
“We been stressing all week not to go out with a whimper in front of our fans.
Another boxing match where we fail to hit the target JcM . Two sides fulfilling the fixture.
Playing one up front in the final home fixture of the season, shows a whimper than a whirlwind.
Showed a glass chin in many home fixtures, failed around without enough strong punches in the areas that hurt anyone .
Hoped you enjoyed McG balls this season, trying to bring sense to the quotes. | |
