we were abysmal in that first half- constantly being done down the wings- we were fortunate to get the smoggie bloke sent off. Jackson was ineffectual as usual, laughed when the Mrs called him a prancing filly lol- 1 pt was daylight robbery we didn't deserve owt after that first 45. Once batty was on and de wijs had been shifted we looked a different outfit, true the smoggies had gone defensive but it took a couple of determined efforts from Bowen to get anything form that. Unfortunately methinks that just confirms he will be away to sunnier climbs in January.
Whilst I agree with most of what you say. There was no fortune in the sending off. It was a 100% deserved red card.
Agree but another day it might have been a yellow and we'd likely have got done 4 or 5 nil, we were that bad.
Eaves occupies the centre halves creating space for Bowen and Grosicki to do their stuff. Not all about goals and I think he’s doing ok.
I don’t think anyone’s on his back We all know it’s a step up but he’s struggling you can see it in him He’s not doing the basics very well His touch and hold up play and constant appealing for fouls when he should be scrapping for the ball is poor. we’re all willing him to do well but he isn’t and as olm said Magennis will play on Wednesday I imagine
That's fair enough and I agree he's finding it difficult, but those calling him a donkey need to give their heads a shake.
Absolutely a sending off, and good for a change to hear the opposing Manager post game interview, condemning the tackle, no excuses, agreed a red card offence, and told his player so. Woodgate went up in my estimation for his interview. Thought we were woeful in defence and man marking first half, just not at it, almost looked as if we had travelled up this morning. Second half, totally different, and although against 10, we know it’s never that simple, but for some wrong decision making could have taken 3 points. Still a good point though after first half debacle.
I recall you told me to **** off the other week when I mentioned another game on a match thread. Double standards?
Woodgate is a **** manager as the league table shows. He has thrown his player under the bus to deflect attention away from his own **** tactics, substitutions and management.
