Really well played today from the team. Shame it didnt end in the win we so clearly deserved.

And Gratz for Ralph for being brave enough to play a Right Back at Right Back and a Left Back at Left Back. Was refreshing.

Slight question over the game being 2-1 and he brings on 2 very attacking midfielders, but even then we should have been at least 4-1 ahead.

Promising for the future is what i can take from the match, once i get over the disappointment.

I questioned that decision at the time. But you know what, despite the fact that we did end up dropping two points, I actually think Ralph's decision there worked.

We can't defend, so the best way of winning that game was to make it 3-1 rather than hold onto 2-1. And with the chances we created - which included Boufal - we should have made it 3-1. Ralph gave us the tools to win that game, it's not his fault we duly failed to score just one of those chances.

We weren't subbing someone on that'd play LB, and we had several chances to win it before they equalized. It's not Ralph's fault that we are constitutionally incapable of defending, and no sub was changing that.
 
The defence seemed to be missing a lamp post. I like it!
If you read my first post I am on about the whole season. Also if you read my first post I said you have to take your chances with a bad defence and we didn't.

You can criticise things as well as saying we played well. Too many people like to go crazy and not see the positives/negatives in a game.
 
We gave Poch the points, and he got sacked. We gifted Silva the points, and he's getting canned later, and now we have given Em's an early Xmas present.................and he's getting time off as well!
What happened to us being awful to play against, does anyone remember that speech pre-season?

Entirely true. And if you had read MY first post... :P

How many games is it now where we have been in the lead and then either drawn or lost? You can’t take anything away from the lads though they played their hearts out seemingly.

Don’t be silly, Beddy, they were ‘f***ing useless’, because everything in life is black or white.
