If it wasn’t so cold & I wasn’t stood for the entire game, I may have fallen asleep. Rosie football isn’t great early on, too slow, we need quicker out balls, start of the second half, we looked so much better, then drifted back to mind numbing football. Not impressed, but at least it was cheaper than getting to a home game for me. I’m going to book off the Play off final weekend, not because I think we’ll be there, just so I’m not working it!
Or it could just be the point that gets us over the line! Before last week we hadn't drawn for ages now we've had 2 in a row against direct play-off rivals. Fair enough in the grand scheme of things. Now lets beat a surely demoralized Birmingham (lost to a 90+6 winner today) and get stuck into a seemingly falling apart Leicester next Saturday!
Frustrating result but we are 6th and unbeaten in 5 I realise that isn't good enough for some people but that's where we are
Being 6th is fantastic, but that doesn't mean we couldn't and shouldn't be doing better and doesn't mean we can't ask for more when the glaringly obvious is happening game after game.... If it is our downfall this season then it's a big failure as it's been an issue all season
Enjoyed that for a 0-0 wasn't bad both had chances but honours even may do match blog tonight sometimes it easier to write nonsense after a night's kip
Reminds me of the Barmby era, we were good, I think better football going forward than now, but still not scoring the goals we should have!
A decent result, but a dire performance. I thought we were awful in that second half and they were there for the taking. We have quality forwards who are just not getting the ball enough due to our system. Once again, we gave away lots of chances in that first half for messing around at the back with the keeper. We have been very lucky today not to concede. A positive from the game is that we defended well for the most part (particularly Coyle and Greaves). I’m struggling for more. Seri and Zaroury had their worst games for us. Carvalho not much better. It was screaming for Tufan to be brought on much earlier. Also, a physical presence in the middle with a bit of pace. How Ohio didn’t get on instead of Sharp I don’t know?! Omur not starting baffled me. I’ve said before, I normally agree with Rosenior’s lineups and substitutions, but he got it very wrong today. Luckily, we can put it right quickly on Tuesday night.
Far too often we get a crossing opportunity and there's no sod in the box waiting. Playing with a false 9 is great if you can walk it in, but we can't, so we need to have a striker on hand to convert these chances. For all the knocking of him, Oscar would have had a fair few this season because he was decent at being in the right place at the right time. Were he still playing for us, Matty Fryatt would be a ballon d'or winner with the amount of potential opportunities he would have put away.
Agree with that other than the first sentence. I don't get near to falling asleep as my heart is in my mouth too much as we repeatedly, stupidly **** about at the back with near suicide passes
This also means our winger won't go outside, but almost always has to come inside, making life much easier for the fullback. Too predictable.
