Easy to complain now, especially after going two up albeit against the run of play, but this was a side selected to nullify the opposition rather than playing our own game. Show respect to the opposition by all means, but leaving Noone and even Mason on the bench was asking for trouble. They're both on now with Kimbo coming on as well - all too late?
well, I didnt see that coming. Disappointed at the way we threw away a 2 goal lead but still, its only one game.
Yes all to late Malky needs to play for the win!! I fed up of his negative formations all the time this team should be unleashed!!! I don't know what to think about Malky still not convinced!! I'm afraid he's restricting the potential in this team by only playing 1 up front! In comparison I don't see Man U going away to Wigan etc and going to a 451 formation just cause there away! If we were playing Blackpool I understand but against the lower end teams we got to go all out
I don't think you should change your style (strengths?) whoever you're playing - let them worry about you. I notice Malky didn't bring Noone on until after they scored their 3rd goal. If that isn't chasing the game, nothing is. He was always playing for the draw and hoping to sneak it. Having gone 2 goals up, we should have been able to hold them up especially with that team selection.
I agree sparky malky is constantly going to away games with a negative game plan although we beat millwall it wasn't a superb game by cardiff and In fact it didn't reflect the game and today we were totally outplayed from the start! Even though we were 2-0 up! And second half was a total disaster yet Malky didn't change anything! And by the time he did it was too late! I got a feeling Vekinjona or however you say his name is going to be the earnie of last season just a bench warmer! Difference is he cost over 2mil to bench warm!
But Velikonja is young and Earnie is over 30 and past it. The former has a future at the club and will take a while to adapt to English football so I can see why Malky isn't playing him just yet. In the PL, Dom is the only one to predict a Palace win and moves up to second (joint with H) and four pts off the top. BluefromBridgend picks up a point for Gunnarson's goal to move off the bottom of Division 2.
Amazing, that at 2-0 I felt that we were the team to beat in this division almost invincible! 45 minutes later, disaster, must keep it in perspective....now who's next?
Agreed he is 10 years younger but he isn't going to learn the English game by sitting on the bench! Malky needs to send him on at some point during a game just to feel his feet... It isn't a crisis but if we keep going away with negative play we have done we will be...when we beat wolves I was licking my lips. Look at the games Huddersfield 451 awful display, Brighton 451 not the best, Bristol 451 awful, Millwall 451 result flattered us but and ok display, crystal palace 451 awful, yet the two games we've played with 442 we looked good with Wolves and Leeds! I'm not bring negative I'm being honest...
this may seem arrogant, but i'll say it anyway.... we should be winning these games.... we've got the players to do so, and even if we went ahead against the run of play, there is simply no excuse to go fom 2-0 up to 3-2 down by the final whistle.
One up front. No outlet. Therefore can't keep the ball when we are under pressure. Therefore concede three goals. It's all quite simple logic. We are going to be under pressure, with no release valve, when teams attack us and go for it.
