The Hard Way

[royalbarclayfan]

We´re hopefully learning but it´s the hard way
As one more mistake gifts a goal,
We can´t fault the endeavour there in our play
But it´s tough playing the catch-up role

If they get a lead, up here in this tier
Away teams especially, are tough,
To break down, and the pressure we bring to bear
May not always just be enough

We saw it today how once they went ahead
How content they were to defend,
Happy to sit back and break out instead
When a chance came up at our end

And although we huffed and we puffed a good deal
The breaks didn´t just go our way,
Half-chances we had, but clear cut, to steal
A point or more, weren´t there today

The best fell to Morison late second half
But his header whistled past then,
But Declan Rudd did at least have the last laugh
As he saved one more dubious pen

We could and maybe should have had one ourselves
When Vaughan ended bloodied and sore,
But Halsey nor his assistants could just tell
That he took an elbow to the jaw

So all in all, one more step in the process
Of learning our trade in this flight,
Mistakes will get punished, which we must address
Without them we´ll soon be alright. OTBC

Chins up all, have a good week, we´re off again Saturday

Yours,

Hi RBF, wise words, my friend, and, hopefully, we will learn our lesson in time!

Heads up, eyes down, shoulders to the wheel, I still think we'll be ok in this league given time and the occasional rub of the green!

Not only poetic but also correct. Tell your mates on the match thread that they don't know what they are on about.

I like the sensitive and intelligent type. That's rare in a football fan, most blokes I meet on matchday are all macho and a bit thick.

I just checked Liz and can t see where anyone was out of line with you, saying you should ve won 4 zero will get a negative response....
You are the only Baggie we had on our boards, good luck with the rest of the season

I seem to remember other great chances, epscially Bennett blasting it over the bar.

I think that's a bit uncalled for Liz.
As far as I can recall not a single Budgie gave you a hard or bad time on the match thread and most if not all of us were intelligent enough to acknowledge we got what we deserved on the day due to our fear of shooting on target (apparently we had 5 shots on target but I am struggling to recall any one them ).

Although some of your players were happy to go to ground when the opportunity presented itself, at no point did anyone pinpoint that as a reason why we lost. Nor did anyone suggest the referee cheated us out of points although the 'incident' at the end of the game is highly debatable.

All things considered, and taking in to account the shocking decisions that have gone against us in previous games, I think we maintained a pretty high level of dignity and integrity under the circumstances while watching the same naff decisions going against us.
