We're becoming the draw specialists. A season of consolidation. With the players at our disposal we should really be doing better.
I think there are some encouraging signs from Hasselbaink and it's obviously very early days. He doesn't seem to be playing our strongest side but you'd like to think he'll get to know his preferred side soon enough.
Not happy with that. Even given our away form etc, Bristol started the day out at 21st. With the players at our disposal we really should be winning these games
Unbeaten in 5 but 3 draws......but still nicely positioned within striking distance of the play offs.....
Ipswich is a huge test. Really tough place to get a result traditionally. The short term nature of our support means 4+ points from the next two and Hasselbaink is the saviour. Under three and people are calling for his head.
Missed opportunity today in many ways. Would have been a first win under JLH; could have been 3pts off play-off position; done without Austin up front. Wasn't to be, and seems we were disappointing performance wise. Be interesting to hear from JLH. Onwards we go... Unbeaten in five and still very much in touch, without having a really good winning run yet.
I would far happier with 3 wins and a loss for 6 pts rather than 3, which is not playoff form. After taking my daughter Christmas shopping I am rather late to the parade - was Charlie rested or injured today?
so this it's what it's like to follow a really boring team. Boring. This and the lack of TV coverage killing this board.
We looked pretty poor for large spells of the 1st half and failed to break down City often enough in midfield Polter was too isolated up front and Fer failed to link with him. In fact I thought Fer was very average again today. But it certainly showed that we don't have much of a cutting edge upfront without Austin We lacked enough creativity again to win the game, and could've blown it in a goalmouth melee right at the end
This. I'm not a fan of his, lazy and flat footed. Luongo should be given a go, didn't deserve to be dropped.
