safe journey home to you & @Clb74 ...you deserved better than a 4-0. Bowyer has just said that the diamond isn’t working...
Doughty had another poor game at left back, he's lost the spark from when he burst onto the scene. The game passed Pearce by. Oshilaja was our best defender, saved us several times but no one will notice that because of Lapslie's suicide pass. Bonne was bright when he came on and stopped Taylor from being so isolated. The way heads dropped was unacceptable, was like when kids lose heart.
This game has really ****ed me off, going for a drink with a mate in Manchester now. I don't usually let football get to me
that was terrible. definitely not worth the effort i put in to watch an illegal stream. formation all wrong. we lack quality. adam matthews is the only defender i'd keep going into next year. midfield was missing. we could do with a clear out in that department too. get some players in who want the ball and go get it. lapslie too soft, williams too injury prone and doesnt look up. mcgeady is sh1t. ozzy not champ quality.
I'm very disturbed to read that heads went down before the end of this game. Our players must never stop fighting, never until the final whistle. That is the last thing we have left right now. If that has gone, and it happens at the Valley, I cannot see a way back for the players or Lee Bowyer. I'll support him until the bitter end. But the home fans won't forgive if the players lose heart and defeats become drubbings.
If the players' heads went down before the end of the Huddersfield game we have a grave problem. If that defeat became a drubbing because some of the men wearing our shirts had given up, that is unforgivable. They should never give up. Never. It's time to cut all the bullshit now. We need to win the two upcoming home games. Not mooch about feeling sorry for ourselves and coming out 2nd best in every challenge. WIN THEM. Who is up for it? Lee Bowyer needs to select players who will give him everything. If anyone in the squad has lost heart, they need to get it back sharpish, or f**k off. I hope LB gives the players a bollocking they'll never forget. He needs them to be men, not crying slackers. Wish he could still put his boots on and show them how to play the way he played.
I've resigned myself to the fact we're going down, not a good feeling to have but I just can't see how Bowyer is going to get us out of this.
I've calmed down a bit, heads dropped in the last 4/5mins in a way I've not seen under Bowyer. However I don't think we're doomed yet, the Cullen chance goes in and it's a different game, just like how we got lucky in the Barnsley and Luton home games. Perspective is driven completely by results.
Looking at the remaining fixtures, it’s hard to say. We need to take points off the mid table sides who have nothing to play for. Cardiff away is coming up. Until we stop conceding the school boy goals it won’t matter who we play.
We will be fine, i amsure there will be a tinker or two from LB and we will stay up. Why have the owners done nothing, they are fine to potentially buy in and go down a whole peg ?
If Bowyer had good enough players to tinker with I'm sure he would, trouble is Williams is the only player we have who looks like creating something but he's rarely fit.
Our remaining five home fixtures~ Middlesborough Millwall QPR Reading Wigan If we can’t get 10 points from those 5 games, we don’t deserve to stay up.
