****e result.

All far and no ****e once again.

Points just getting pissed away due to not buying strikers that are ready to be able to perform in this league.

They might not be ready, but we don't have a system to allow them to get chances.

I'd rather see Mayenda on the pitch ahead of Dack or Ba.

I think Burstow might of had some joy today.
 
Shocking reffing. Did nothing to challange the timewasting. 3 minutes injury time insults people's intellegance.

That said we wouldn't have scored if we played until next week. Sick and tired of trying to walk the ball though 10 men into the net.

We need to start curling them in from range, won't take long for teams to start pushing out to minimise the shots then they'll leave spaces to attack.

We need to buy more established players and play them in the proper positions.

I honestly think it's why we won't finish in the play offs. All fart no ****e.

If you listed all the players brought in, you'd be surprised at how many of these foreign wondekids have done the business.

None of them are getting game time to prove anything because TM had his favourites. Roberts has 0 goals and 1 assist in 21 games, imagine that was one of the newer lads?

Think we need to give 1 of the strikers a proper run out to see how they actually do, so disappointing chasing a game and not bringing on a striker

Actually raging about that!
 
anyone else think today was ever so slightly deliberate so the new guy comes in after a loss rather than three wins?

i cannot fathom why dodds picked that team against bristol and where he asked them to play, no idea where they were meant to be and no idea where each other were, back line that i have praised the past two games were a complete mess for some reason.

i am no tactical expert but ffs, but an aboriginal who had never left his local cave in his life would see plenty wrong with that.
 
Yeah mate. Me too. Rusyn is the one who looks to be the best so just play him. **** the dacks of the world off. Waste of time.
Agreed, i said when we signed him that rusyn remains me off broadhead (still gutted we didn't sign him) and needs a proper run out

Im never normally raging with results but i get raging when we dont do everything possible to try n win it - put 2 strikers on after 65/70 mins and go 442, rusyn can drop into pockets to link play
 
Deja vu here. Another poor away performance to add to the collection featuring Preston, Swansea, Stoke, Plymouth & Millwall

Just as we get our home form right, our away form falls off a cliff

Some good chances (and excellent saves from their keeper) but I never felt like we were going to score. Though Dodds got team selection and tactics wrong

Hey ho just as well we won the last 2. On to Coventry
 
we have to go to Ipswich,Leeds, Soton, WBA, Watford, Boro, Cardiff so what chance of top 6 now ? we are poor compared to last season away, these defeats at the likes of Bristol, Plymouth home to Huddersfield will do us, and these owners have done us in the tranfer market with the so called strikers brought in.

Yep. Rusyn for 70 minutes every week and then give Mayenda the last 20 when we need fresh legs. Do it for 5 games in a row.

Pritchard is a clever ****er. He'll know exactly what kind of runs the strikers make after he's played a couple of proper games with them.
 
Roberts is overrated imo, is wonderful to watch at times but too slow on the ball and zero end product

Of course he is. Good player but nowhere near as good as our fans have made him out to be because he’s easy on the eye and has some good traits ie dribbling and ball control.

George Hirst had 1 combined goal/assist in the first 7-8 games or something the season, against us ironically. Now he’s had 6 in the last 6. Players need time to bed into the team.

If we're chasing a game you reckon you would put on a striker on rather than an attacking midfielder
Thing is Dack was in our half mist of the time and even took a free kick where Patterson could have taken - and then managed to kick it all the way through for a goal kick :emoticon-0130-devil
If the new manager has the same thoughts as Mowbray and Dodds in that the forwards we have are not up to it then it will be interesting to see what January brings<doh>5

End product not up to it but he does cause other issues more than some of the others. .

From what I have seen anyway.

Issue will be and still is, can not sign foreign no one's and expect quality in the championship. It's just unlikely. Need to spent to progress. Again, needs a flex in the model.

I mean at the moment you're talking

Jewi,
Ba
Mayenda
Rusyn
Hemir
Lihadji

All forward players. None seem to be fully backed by the club after being brought in as they don't get played. We are going to get to Christmas without a striker scoring 1 ****ing goal. I think it's nearly a full year.

It's a recruitment issue.

Yeah I agree with that. At times seems like we’ve recruited because we’ve seen an opportunity in the market rather than recruiting what we actually need. Crying out for a proper DM still anarl but then a difficult decision has to be made on who gets left out.
