Think these young lads are learning an on the job lesson in grinding out results when they are low on confidence and out of form. We will get stronger for this run
It was absolutely rubbish. I think the pen was the only shot the keeper had to dive for. Our keeper was MOTM and made 2 or 3 game winning saves. This is against a very poor millwall team.
Luckily the playoff race is extremely tight and we've barely lost any ground despite this poor run. However we are now 18 points behind Ipswich in 2nd and only 11 points ahead of QPR in the relegation zone.
Clearly players are not playing to the high standards they have shown and set. Its not tactics that made ballard go walkabout and Hume not tuck back in for their goal. It's not tactics that stop Clarke whipping a cross in or Roberts not being able to hit a powerful shot or Neil keep his shots under the bar. Youngest team in the championship, players have off days, unfortunately we have 4 or 5 not at the races and low on confidence
To be fair I’ve never seen a defender peel off the striker like that, some tekkers .. https://x.com/LorseHatitudes/status/1730980481968066598?s=20
1 point against 3 struggling teams next 2 will be defeats. what the hell has happened to the the team that beat Soton ? only one place left in the top 6 for us now.
Have to say that was poor. Tactically we have hit a brick wall. Teams know how to play against us. I love the passing game but has to be quick and with an end product. At the minute there is no purpose to our play. We started brightly and I thought the players at least worked harder today but tactically we were a mess. Pritchard needs to start and we need to work on a plan B with 2 up top and actually playing the ball into the forwards. Feel sorry for whoever he puts up there at the minute. no support and no service. Really hope TM can work this one out but same pattern been going on for weeks now very worrying.
And if the winger had ran past Huggins he was in on goal. Nice of Hume to not get back to cover though......
