Because defensively at the moment we are a complete mess. Rarely the same back four, and also not enough good defensive midfielders.
Well, that's a letdown. Doesn't really matter as we're safe but it's very deflating for everybody, spectators and the squad.
do they play relaxed like season is over or what? i don't understand how it's possible to waste 2 goals advantage at home. It's not first time as i remember. And why only 1 sub was used?
Nobody understands it. Did the same at home to Rotherham, another lowly side. With today that's 4 points chucked away. There's probably more but I can't be arsed to look. Having said that in both of those games we had our second choice back 4 playing.
The general impression the players give in interviews is that everyone is really pulling together, good team spirit, etc, but we really seem to lack leaders and mental strength, and it really shows when we have to take a game by the scruff of the neck, respond to the opposition changing things. I'm sure there have been inspiring captain/goalkeepers but by and large its an indictment of the outfield players to me. The only player in our squad all season who has looked like a natural captain was Elphick.
I understand it. When visitors come with a point to prove (they lost at home to Rotherham midweek) or Rotherham (fighting for their lives and well man-managed), we fold because we lack character in midfield. Recruitment has been poor and patchy for 3 years now, what silly **** expects any other outcome given the circumstances we all know about? DQPR were well worth a draw regardless. They created plenty of good chances in the first half and with a decent striker would have won this one.
Good to hear a balanced report. Heaven help us next season. That there Sheffield Wednesday have turned things round. Have they spent a shedful of money? Or have they a new manager?
I fear next season could be another 96/97. Flirt with the playoffs the previous season then dog **** the next. Culmination of years of neglect.
It's Dead Owl Bounce. Just think, if Sir Steve had come back from the Caribbean a couple of weeks earlier they would already be in the playoffs and planning to sell out Wembley.
They will sell out their allocation. At the moment we are the only club with the faintest of chances of getting there that wouldn't. Than **** for Norwich otherwise there could be the horrendous possibility 3 Yorkshire clubs going up.
