I feel unfortunately JEX with the standard of player we have even two banks of four would be picked apart. Silk purse sows ear!!!!!!
Well we got the nightmare last night, got the tricks, no treat. No movement, no urgency, no leadership on pitch, no idea, no hope. No advantage to us from throw ins, we must have the least possession of all teams in all leagues from throw ins, absolute tosh. Why play the long, hoof balls, we only have small players up front of pitch, not winning the headers, not a target man, pointless. Boro were 2 up last night without even breaking sweat, gifted goals, defensively poor. Slutsky appears a nice person, undoubtedly dealt a **** hand, but out of his depth in this league with a group of mostly lower league level players.
Then why not buy player that will have a better chance of getting us there, rather than sell them and replace with cheaper players not at the same level?
Thing is, I don't think our players are that bad. Every now and then there is a period of a few minutes when we push forward with the odd lovely ball and bit of passing that give glimpses of what might be. Trouble is, it never lasts long and after you get all hopeful that we've pulled it together, we pass to the opposition and it all goes to **** again. I'm sadly coming to the conclusion that the manager isn't a good fit for us. He may be the nicest bloke we've ever had, but this league is bloody tough and we need someone familiar with it and the teams and the tactics. Yes, our squad is imbalanced and not the quality we used to have, but we still have the potential to be a lot better than we are. I keep thinking back to Wolves - by far the best team to come to the KCOM this season. I don't think that technically they were much better than us, but as a team they were strong, committed and disciplined and knew what they were doing. We need some of that.
Bowen was announced as MotM. I'd say there were 12,000 there last night. Even Boro had one block completely empty.
Can always defend how Dawson does and just constantly back off and allow a shot to nestle in the back of the net. The back four are a total mess, how Mazuch can't get in the team is beyond me unless he's injured. Things needs to change and quickly.
Most other clubs do their final home game before. I was watching the Manchester United/Spurs game on Saturday which is when they did theirs.
That won't happen - it's the 18th by then. To be honest there are too many anyway - we should revert to just one on the weekend of, or before, the 11th itself.
Can’t find any mention of it on the club’s website, Facebook or Twitter. It wasn’t said last night either when advertising the game. Obviously, I’m not saying you’re lying - I’m just surprised it’s kept so quiet.
The 'next home game' adverts on the big screens last night described the Ipswich game as our “Remembrance Fixture”.
Fair enough. Genuinely didn’t realise that was on there despite looking at that advert twice. Guess I was too distracted by our incredible team performance.
FA confirm Hector sending off, he'll definitely be missing on Saturday. I know, I know, he'd already gone missing last night... please log in to view this image
