Matchday Thread Gentry Day - Watford v PNE - 6/04/24 - KO:3PM

[Gordon Bennett]

What's beef got to do with his age?

 

[Tarkovsky]

Birmingham killed us really.

For once I will actually say today we had at least one hand tied behind our backs, if your most influential and attacking midfielders aren’t fit away from home you’re a bit fucked in all fairness.

McCann Keane and Whatmough in midfield isn’t a midfield. But Watford where really dogshit, how you don’t win the midfield battle against a striker and a centre back is baffling.

 

[BPIG]

How is there only 3 minutes added time?

Cos absolutely fuck all happened?

 

[john2321]

Imagine knowing your fans have traveled all that way, spent all that money to cheer on their team, and not even try to win.

Ryan Lowe will never be a true part of our proud Gentry

It’s bad enough he’s part of out club !

 

[djwoody]

That was a criminal waste of an opportunity today. Very much a reflection of the season as a whole

 

[Jack Daniels]

Yes, a very good away point offering absolutely nothing in a game we had to win.

Deary me, JD!

Don't take it out on me.

I don't have a "dodgy box" so I can only go off Shots, Corners, etc for both teams.

An away point, as I said in isolation, is a good point.

I know we needed 3 but it is what it is. Chill.

[anubis]

Sums us up, need a win and play for a draw.
Even the Watford comms are baffled.
The proverbial damp squib.

 

[PNE04]

Flip flops on for them lads now, wouldn’t surprise me if we don’t win again this season.

 

[Yoowell]

Only sub should have been Keane for Mads at 60 mins

 

[Warton PNE]

Same. Lowe is only bothered about finishing in the top half now to preserve his reputation. We should have been throwing everything at Watford, subbing off Whatmough and Brady, not Riis and Osmajic.

It’s pissed me right off.

I know we aren’t good enough to finish in the Top 6, but before KO today the opportunity was there.

To play for the draw after 60 minutes and have no intention of trying to go for the win is shambolic.

Shite shite shite. Fuck off.

 

[lenny]

0-0. Fair enough. Vast improvement over the 1-5 mauling with them. Not pretty but I'll take that after the Birmingham debacle and with two home games to follow.

Thank you for your input Mr Ridsdale , let’s not over perform.😰

 

[Victorthesecond]

Watford commentator at the end of the game: "....mystified why Preston didn't have a real go at this, given their very real chance of play-offs...."

 

[Bobbage]

At any other time in the season that's a great result and a superb point. Shame we needed more though.

Some great performances from the lads that stepped in, Whatmough did a fine job in that seek-and-destroy role, and Greg was his usual assured shithouse. With everyone putting in a hell of a shift and the squad being so depleted the rest of this month could be carnage, but I guess the season is as good as over now anyway. Hey ho.

Truly baffling late subs.

 

[wld]

Time wasting and lack of real intent with the subs when we absolutely needed a win is unfathomable - that comes from management.

 

[Grezzaball]

Norwich were probably going to steam roll everyone from now till the end of the season anyway with their run in but that performance today showed no ambition of getting into the playoffs this season, bring on the pre season friendly feeling for the remaining home games.

 

[Kholek]

I don't understand how we can look like two completely different teams, it wasn't even that long ago we were praising our slick link up play and today they looked like they barely knew each other

 

[Rankine]

We offered nothing in a must win game.......pathetic!

 

[By Tor]

0-0 not bad considering some of our injuries/ illnesses ???. But we needed a win today & need to win all our remaining games now. Looks like he settled for a draw. Don't know what he's got against Mads but he could have made a difference but wasn't on until last 8 minutes. Watford not great either. Lowe is baffling at times.

 

[baysidepne]

Complete lack of intent there.

Very much an end of season feel to proceedings, which is a shame as it was still a huge opportunity for us up until Monday.

Can't have a go at the manager too much as he's turned it around somewhat but questions will always remain especially tactically.

Nothing in the game for either side. Watford now without a win in 11 games at home and this, along with Monday, are two opportunities missed. Today was a game which lacked quality, and our one player available in the squad who has that enigmatic ability to produce something out of nothing sat on the bench until the 82nd minute.
