we have a lot of one game wonders that produce their best when others dont, that is a sign they are not premiership standard as they cant perform to a high standard for most of the time.....
Ivor our midfield has issues, I'll agree, but we'll get our form back soon! I hope..................... please log in to view this image
what form is this then dragon????? you mean our honeymoon period we had for a month. We have not won a single away game and dont look like doing so and we are dropping points at home against all the targets that we have set at getting 3 pts....so where this form is must be with another team..norwich maybe as they are the only ones who are giving a good account of themselves in reality, ours is all talk.
Is that the form when we really, really keep the ball in our own half without losing it? Ivor has a point and today`s game highlighted it perfectly. In the end QPR were unlucky not to snatch a win, we were rubbish in the 2nd half. Brendan needs to learn that we need to score goals more than running pretty circles around the opposition, and getting nowhere.
Norwich are being single handedly whipped by Bale! bale has scored twice to bury Norwich, so smoke on that Dai! We'll get our form back, soon enough, as long as Rodgers starts to play Dobbie!....................... please log in to view this image
And how many will we lose by on Saturday? For Norwich to only lose 2-0 is a bonus for them, I would think. There are lots of teams who are going to lose by more than that to them. I`ll bet that they never gave the game up either until the final whistle.
Spurs are a first class side and they will probably win on Saturday. Norwich are only 2 points ahead of us. If the ref had awarded a stone-wall penalty tonight we'd be on equal points with them. We may not score as many as them but we certainly defend a lot better than them. And if we could score and defend well we would be Liverpool or Arsenal which we are not.
Thanks for "cheer up", Breezy. Can't shake my gut feeling, though. I saw it coming during the second half against Fulham. When they decided to play, we had no answer and our late goal flattered us. Everyone I could see was cheering the 2-0 but I was just shaking my head because we were rank, even though I was chuffed with the win. We have now gone three and a half games without looking decent. Our supposed strength in midfield has fallen apart and it was QPR, a team with one point in 15 whose confidence had gone, who called the shots in the second half. They were the team passing it; they were the team putting on the pressure; they were the team picking up almost every loose ball; they were the team that had us chasing shadows trying to get the ball back and they were the team that looked likely to go on and win it. To be honest, there's more than an element of flat track bullies about us. Leave us alone to play and we'll do it and look good. But any team that fronts up and mixes it with us gives us problems. Like Dai, I'm fearful of what Spurs could do to us on Saturday, it could be a complete and utter mauling. But then I'm hoping that as football is such a perverse game, we might just go on to win it. Don't really believe that, though. We are in dire need of new, quality players otherwise I can see us going to hell in a handcart during the second half of the season. We are also in dire need of a new strategy. The old one was good for a while, now we no longer have the players to make it work. Sad but true based on recent form.
Rogers should have subbed Rangel sooner after his injury, when he brought the 2 subs on in the confusion while they were sorting who was going where the hoof ball bouncing off leons bonce caught us cold ! Part of a new stratergy could be letting a few of our players know that when crossing iff they strike the bottom half of the ball it will rise over the opposing defenders and reach our Danny boy !! Hope jan window brings us reasons to be cheerful part two !!
Hell guys, come on cheer up! It could be a hell of a lot worse, for goodness sake, we could be Kairdiff supporters! Then you'd have something to really mourn about!....................... please log in to view this image
your right phil when we stay up do you think jenkins may invite them to support us as the only prem team in wales ever and offer free buses for them to come and pay homage ? .............hard hats on INCOMING banter...........
Buck was making the double sub figuring Dyer would help Agustien on the right when Rangel went off , little did he know Routledge would limp off anyways after the initial thought of subbing him off . You could tell Rangel should have came off right away by the look on his face but he knew the low down on remaining defenders . We need extra defenders defenders desperately . Hope Monk's ready for Tottenham , bless him !!
we will draw at spurs just keep our ten men in our box throughout but iff we go all out attack they will **** themselves and we win 4-0 which stratergy do you think buck will choose ?
Quite a lot of misery on here at the moment. That's why there's a mid-season transfer window! If a lot of us agree that 14th would be a great finish for us, how did you think we'd end up there?! Not by winning every game, that's for sure. A couple of great (unexpected) points away at Liverpool and Newcastle have given us a boost as well as a solid record of only losing one game at home (to Man Utd!!!). We get a couple in January, and we're set. Situ for definite, maybe Donnelly and a couple more and it's all gravy.
why not,we're not expected to win Saturday so this may be the chance to change it around and bring on fresh legs from the start.another game Monday which at the moment I'd take a point quite happily
We were lucky to get away with a draw last night. Moore looked lovely when he came on but that was relativ o everyone else - so just goes to show how woeful the others were. We were dire last night. Sinclair again was seemingly absent. Far more negative to comment on than positive - could fill a book. The bright thing I take from the game was Jazz - growing into the position game by game. And the ref ... The only person in the stadium not to see Graham's hand ball. Priceless.
