Poor performance tonight but still got a point (again). I came in to this season expecting dips, especially with our young squad. We’ve had two away games on the spin now not at our best and have kept clean sheets. 4 of our last 5 games have also been away from home so it’s understandable we don’t look fully at it. Still top. Still plenty of positives to take. Looking forward to Saturday.
I was really angry watching that game tonight, I'm in my head, it's as if it was the be all and end all, I was anxious. It was just the mad dash, Dan Neil is so integral to this team and I think it's why away from home we struggle to control games. I'm not someone who likes possession for possession sake, but sometimes you need to keep the ball to find a tempo. Regis I'm sure likes to start with a lull then find speed in transition, when Neil gets that ball and bursts into a yard of space before knocking it off, he's a dream.
That's the issue, we don't have Clarke and our alternative is either an out of position Isidor or young Watson. Who, by the way, I thought was bright at times.
I wouldn't say Watson was dominated, couple of times he went down when he could have stayed on his feet but physically he looked pretty much there. Pace wise no problem either. Probably one of those games it's not wise to make judgments about players because the whole team was off it, but I agree that Isidor looks a lot better up top than out wide.
BTW, think Preston are the best team we've played this season in terms of who took the piss. Mepham was all over by comparison to his 9/10's.
If we manage to beat Coventry, these two draws will be positive results in my opinion. But that's just my thinking.
Top 6 was the aim, I’m focussing on the gap from 7th more than anything, we’re going to be fine, it’s an okay point on the road nothing to worry about, this situation was dreamland when we kicked off at Cardiff
They certainly Played to their strengths. We have struggled this season with pressing wingbacks and their centre forward was a nightmare to mark seemed to win everything. But we held firm today was a very good result. Watched Preston at Burnley and they were the better team should have won
Disappointing night but as Mogga would say - we put the point in the bag and go home. Leeds lost Another clean sheet for us Win on sat and all is rosy again
It’s all about momentum and accumulating points. Got no issue with last 2 games, we don’t have a divine right to beat every team we play. Win on Sat and we’re good
Really like both O’Nien and RLB’s interviews. Can tell with this team and this coach that they know that wasn’t a good enough performance and will demand improvements. Would be so easy to just act like it was a good result and crack on.
A good point earned in the second half. I don't think we'll be seeing that front three again. It just didn't work at all and Wilson is far more effective as the CF than he is as a winger. Keep him up front Reg.
Funny that. I thought Neil was poor throughout and Rigg looked quality whenever he was on the ball. I am a big fan of Neil's but felt he was out of sorts. The biggest worry for me is Mundle who looks devoid of confidence at the moment.
Yes, you can't blame him for trying as our wingers were so poor on Saturday but tonight showed were he is best and that's up top
