'Goal' was rightly disallowed. Keeper had it in both hands and dropped after a coming to. Yeah we did have good chances but it was still very disjointed, sloppy and lacking any real ideas all game. Of the three chances the first came from a glaring mistake from their centre half, second was deflected into the goal before Dicko hacked it off the goal line and over the bar, only the third was really worked by a good bit of skill from bowen fooling their useless twat and getting into the box and cutting back.
Awful game. We just don't have a "first team" like we used to have, the team is changed every week, not just one or two players but 4 or 5. They played like a group of individuals rather than a team. Passing awful, the ball would fly past someone and they'd look around as if to say was that meant for me. Couldn't fault Campbell's work rate. Bowen didn't have much of the ball. Its all just very depressing.
Well We looked goodish, apart from the bit where we score goals They were ****...really ****...and yet could have beat us What happened when Dicko (?) looked to clear the ball off their line and somehow balloon it over? Watched it from North but could figure out what the **** had happened Why do we stop the game because one of their players is lying down clutching a badly tugged forelock when they’ve already attacked and ignored him? **** him...we should have attacked, scored, and celebrated by falling on him What the **** is with the clueless buffoons who booed at the end? ****s
It was very split second, but their keeper got a touch which knocked it onto his leg, onto his head and then it looped over. Could only happen to us.
I enjoyed it far more than I expected to. We didn’t play non-stop silky smooth football, but there were certainly glimpses - just what I would expect from the squad we’ve bought and the management/coaching legacy they reflect. I know I repeat myself but it is just that annoying knack - fluke - determination to finish that confounds us. Leeds weren’t great, but they weren’t awful either and we confounded them. That is a big positive - well, for me it is. I paid £30 for my ticket, no corporate benefits, I sat amongst unknown folk and they were passionate - not terribly loud, but they certainly cared. It was a half decent game of football from two half decent teams. Always a Tiger...
Hard going again these days watching City. Probably go down saying ' how the Fukushima did we not win that'. Think the booing at the end is sheer frustration cos if we had scored,the same prats would have given the side a standing ovation. I don't have the answers for missing sitters but the seeds for this mess we're sown ages ago.
The lack of a poacher is killing us, it speaks volumes that our top goalscorer by someway is a wide player with very few assists. There doesn't seem to be anybody in the team wanting to take on the responsibility of shooting, it's like we are scared to miss. Too many times we had the ball pinging across their area, around the outside, one side to the other, but nobody actually tried to shoot. Players like Larsson, Irvine, and Grosicki are known for having a sweet strike of the ball, yet not one tried to trouble the keeper from outside the area.
