Encouraging first half, but lacking a bit of luck and potency up top. Broadhead came closest hitting inside of post and across the goal line. Watford look capable of hitting us on the counter, but their passing a bit wayward and, defensively, we’ve been pretty solid. Hopefully we can grab an early lead in the second half, otherwise it’s down to the super subs.
We look so nervy out there. Glad Edmundson came off, he was looking like a liability out there last ten odd minutes.
Lacked the drive, creativity and energy needed to win that. Still top 2, but all players need that 2 week break.
Leicester, Ipswich, Leeds - All are looking a bag of nerves, one has to miss out and the worry is taking those nerves into the playoffs If we were all still winning and looking like we were earlier in the season it wouldn’t be so bad.
Such a flat, leggy second half. Felt like the pressure and nerves got to those players. Resorted to aimless long balls rather than our natural game. At least we’re matching Leeds result. Just four more to go.
Hull and Coventry will be out of the playoff race when we play them, so hopefully they will be on the beach!!
Yeah, does seem like the pressure is getting to players whereby they don’t want to be the one to make a mistake, underlined by how none of us scored a goal mid-week. It’s understandable there’s a bit of mental fatigue creeping in around a season of sustained excellence. Hopefully there’s more pressure on you and Leicester to immediately go back up and avoid the need to sell players. It’s really close to call. We’ve all got to play teams either in or around the play offs or fighting that seven/eight team relegation dogfight at the bottom.
