Beaten by the better side. We looked tired across the piece, except for Vaughn and Alzate. No pace, no ideas, no result.
Thought Vaughan looked great for the first 30 until he was smashed and we stopped giving him options to run. The last 15 Gelhardt had some decent runs but can’t really say anyone else did a great deal
He ran himself to the ground and had nobody overlapping for him when he made some intelligent runs. Playing with a CB at the LB position was not a clever move here.
He's a live by the sword die by the sword type of fullback. He commits hard to those and when he wins them they look great, when he doesn't it's an easy chance for the opposition.
Simply put their subs made the difference, was a nervy tight game up until they came on, but we dust ourselves down and go again. May have a few more options available for Friday, fingers crossed.
it was a scrappy game, I think our flaws having macca at lb, with jones and burns on the pitch as well, was massively exposed when they brought Alfie Lloyd on, they suddenly had the pace to stretch us I did think macca a lb today was a strange choice, he just doesn't have any pace, it was a masterstroke vs millwall its why I think Jacob was brought on, to get him match 'sharper' as im pretty sure he will start vs blunts on Friday overall, we just didn't turn up,. fortunately for us, we have some more signings coming in, and derby, Cardiff and luton also lost we lacked pace throughout the side, we just couldn't create our own spaces enough, they were always able to stay compact defensively we move on to the next excluding the goal, I thought gelhardt showed glimpses of his talent, he did look at times out of sync with the rest of the team but that will come with more games drameh was absolutely woeful, he's so sloppy with the ball and the less said about him off the ball the better.. coyle needs to be fit asap but im absolutely ****ing sick of our home form, I don't know what we can do, its honestly shocking isint it? and that's enough loss and another game, where the away players go towards the north east corner celebrating with their ****ing fans
That was crap. They smothered the game for the first 25 of the second half, and we didn't get back in to it. Vaughan had a good first half, but after not getting the ball at all in the second half, Selles seemed to decide he was the problem, which was harsh on him, and Burstow felt like a downgrade. Full backs were problematic again, and I barely recall Pedro touching the ball in the second half. Also, I like how they get about, but our midfield trio of Puerta, Slater and Alzate just don't seem to have either goals or assists in them. Puerta's set-piece delivery was disappointing all night. At least Gelhardt looked decent.
But the problem is, we know we dont turn up against teams that are below us... not just this season, but last season too and especially at home..
What a pile of $hit that turned out to be. Two $hit teams, a $hit ref...All in all a $hit evening spent watching that pile of $hit.
