Next There's something strange going on isn't there. Maja reminds me of Connor Wickham and Kenwyne Jones tbh, never thought either was a natural striker and often looked disinterested. Players like that must be a nightmare to manage and coach. If we get a big offer, in January, I'd take it tbh providing Wyke is fit and we can bring in a replacement.
The partnership of Kenwyne Jones and Djibril Cisse looked like it had everything at one time but it never really got going. Can remember few in my time that have had such potential, and not delivered.
Recovering from a knock and why change a winning team. It was 0-0 when he came on mind so it may have made no difference. They scored against the run of play I thought but never looked dangerous from anything other than dead balls. Our keeper made one save and that was straight at him.
Conceding from a dead ball cost us. Yeah we were poor first half but It was 0-0 at half time and I reckon they could play hours against our defence and not score. Corner in the first half looked dangerous and a free kick brought their goal Have to say they’d done their homework. Kicked Maguire every time he got the ball and effectively nullified him. Clever play but the ref could’ve managed it better. Booked Honeyman for his only foul and there were another 8 or 9 by their players which were at least as bad. Their yellow was for an off the ground foul on maguire. Could’ve seen red and power did for less earlier in the season
Wycombe were the best side we have played at home, they battled and harassed for 90 mins and should have won no team will better their performance, but the Barnsley game is massive now but Maja not starting Christ it is like leaving Ronaldo out, Sinclair is not up to it even in this league. Mcgeady should have cut inside instead of the wild shot in the first half.
But Maja didn’t start last week and we won... and he hasn’t scored in the last 5 league games. Keep a winning side in my book
how long since we scored from a set-piece play? Great to see goals from open play, but early in the second half we had 5 consecutive corners and didn't really threaten from any of them.
McGeady has moments of brillance, but frustrating rest of the time. Can we afford to carry him in games, for those odd moments ? Looking forward to watmore coming back.
I used to live in Wycombe for a couple of years, they're a very well-run club with a loyal fanbase for the size of the town, and Gareth Ainsworth is a top bloke and manager who knows how to get the best out of his players For us fact that we're still grinding out points from poor performances is encouraging. It's always disappointing to drop points at home but we could look back on the comeback points against Oxford and Wycombe as vital at the end of the season.
Unbeaten in a long time says a lot. We might not always bring our A game but when we don't turn up we're still good enough for a point.
I will certainly take the point. It's the old not playing well and you can't win....get something out the game. Unbeaten run continues so taking the positives. There will be a few bumps along the road but hey we are in top two. We will still finsh top....I'm convinced of that....onwards and upwards...
Looking back at the highlights we were better than it seemed at the time imo. Ross's overall plan seems to be to allow teams to blow themselves out then go for the win after the break. The Wycombe goal spoiled the party but I'm sure we can relight the candles.
