was fairly happy with way we played and fight we had especially second half just lacked a little quality but of course we miss the injured players Clarke is unplaceable a big improvement from the Norwich game
I really hope Dodds has the intelligence to pick up on the second half performance. The club have been getting slated for the last 2 transfer windows for signing players that aren't good enough, when in fact it's possibly more a case of we haven't given them a chance.
No bugger in the box is what's to blame if our fullbacks aren't racking up the assists, not a lot you can do when you get to the byline and the one attacking player has two or three defenders marking him. Hume and Hjelde get forward fine the long term problem we've had is a lack of bodies in the box. Did alright in the second half in that regard actually.
The number of times in teh 2nd half when we were in an advanced position and it was Hjelde getting the ball near the byline instead of Clarke showed what might have been...
Maybe he's suited to a sub role for now, but if he can replicate that intensity for even 60 mins then he can make an impact for the remainder of the season
Full back having a go from 30 yards out in the middle of the pitch, tremendous stuff.. Leif Davis has 14 assists this season from LB, go and count how many have resulted from him taking 30 yard efforts.
Either people need to lay off the sauce after we win because they’ve got no recollection of what they’ve said or I’m having some mental dreams about what gets posted on this board!
When did we last lose 5 on the bounce ?? 1st 20 mins was disgusting, I feared the worst but was pleasantly surprised at our 2nd half. Some good performances from some squad players who haven’t had a chance, they need to be given a run of games. The club can’t allow this slide to continue however and need to act quickly, we can’t continue with Dodds, get him back where he belongs with the academy and get the new man in ASAP. Back to basics and shore us up has to be a priority, we are a soft touch and that’s not just down to injuries it’s also down to organisation
The balance in the team in the second half was so different. We look so different on the front foot. The first half however wasn't great especially first twenty minutes. Rigg is some prospect. We can't happy clap with the run we are in but Hume's screamer goes in and perhaps we could have even won that game. Still some positives but need to be built on
He went down because the ball was away from him and he had no chance of getting it in the net fair play the lad tried to get something out of it
Said to my son as we walked out of the ground how effective he was, looking for the ball, looking to play positive passes, finding pockets of space - like Pritchard was capable of. Then, to wrap it off he played that fantastic through ball for Ballard which seems to have gone under the radar because people are debating the no penalty decision. Got to be given an extended run in the 10 position which hopefully will benefit whichever striker is picked. Oh, forgot ti mention but Riggy is some boy ⚽️
****e first halfs i see Dodds does not say that, christ i watched Bayern munich and though jesus could we play like that one day, i hope. 40,000 lol them days are long gone with this lot next season.
The goal we conceded was soo soft it’s unreal to not even jump for a header in your own 6 yard box is criminal imo. rigg and adil should be playing every game they’re available from now till end of the season.
Yeah Ekwah needs benching. Been ****e for ages. Seems to have a can not be arsed approach on the pitch. Not cutting the mustard. Get AA and Rigg into the team.
Don't know what's happened to him, he was running midfield at times towards the end of last season and start of this, now he couldn't run a bath.
If always seems a struggle to motivate him be a grafter. Think Mowbray referencing it a few times. Needs taking out of the team for me.
Being ultra critical here, but our defenders were on their heels whilst Vardy anticipated it coming his way. Hard to say for sure as the video quality is poor
