Well done our team. O'Dowda needs a pineapple where sun doesn't shine. Thought Max did well, but tbf and to a man they all put a shift in. An old manager of mine would have gone mental for their goal. Never never 1 defender to a short corner. Absolute basics.
Yes 100%.. imo you don’t know much about football if you think otherwise..I think even NP would agree with that.
Expected result tbh and it's sad to see the poor crowds for the oldest competition in the world (?) and clearly bigger money is more important. We need to focus only on our Championship status and not waste time on other distractions. The next match vs Fulham has more importance than a cup that we will never win as our only close call was a 0-1 loss to Man Utd back in the days of yore and beyond.
I thought (from what I saw) we played well. I didn’t see their goal so can’t comment on it, but we seemed to be more in control of the game so it must have happened against the run of play.
it sort of was, but a well played corner [ dont think throw in free kick in corner area ] One of the things I noted especially in last third of total minutes played they had a 3 man corner for most of them and we marked it out with 1 player!!! always plenty room with 3 or 4 quick passes to get ball crossed as OUR PLAYERS STARTED TO COME OUT! !!!
Thought the team gave everything today with better finishing it would have been a different result. Striker is the most important signing required. Wells and Palmer did sweet fanny Adam’s. deSilva looks way of the pace.All need moving on. Those youngsters played very well. Doubted Max in the past but was very accomplished in goal today. Pring is going right to the top of the game enjoy him whilst he is here.
It all fell out of bed in2nd half, well after about 60 mins. although we did play well maintaining about 55 - 65% possession first 30 mins we were at up to 70% stat wise their stats were about 7- 2 - 3 [ 21 5 9 ] ours was about 10 - 6 - 8 [ 15 8 12 ] not 100% certain but that was about 60 -70 mins in much better performance all round, we play better against better teams!!!!
He started the move that lead to O'Dowda missing a sitter for starters.....along with that some good touches......Maybe you missed it, too busy looking in the eyes of NP........Yes we must watch different games
The game I watched, there was more from him, the ability is certainly there IMO but like every other player he put in a shift with no positive outcome.....I actually think that was one of our better performances against a decent side.. The first half setup seemed to be fairly balanced..Like v QPR, we deserved more from the game....
