I don't know how Marti fixes the goal problem in this team. In most of our recent games we've had combinations of Willock, Chair and Smyth miss absolutely glorious chances to score, its maddening.
Not sure what we gained from bringing on Albert. It had to be Armstrong just to keep them pinned back
Missed the game, can't believe we screwed it up again after getting a late lead. Uncle Albert hadn't played in donkeys years, why was he brought on? So just a single point out of 2 six pointers, simply awful after such as encouraging Easter weekend. I guess it wouldn't be the R's if we made things easy on ourselves.
Where do you think? It's obviously possible, but it's just as possible to only get another draw at most looking at our remaining games.
Terrible to see us lose that from a Begovic mistake. He really messed up. But to be fair our forwards had enough chances to put this game to bed much earlier - we are just shocking up front. You create that many chances you have to put some away. Chair is burning empty with Ramadan, which thankfully ends tomorrow - he worked his socks off tonight. I know Smyth lacks end product but he is a pain in the arse of the defenders and is a terrier. I’ve had it with Dykes, his effort is more effortless. Why Armstrong didn’t come on 25mins earlier I don’t know. He would have done well against these defendersz Dropped two points for sure tonight. Good: Jimmy Dunne giving his shirt to a young lad with an Irish flag Bad: a ‘fan’ cursing Begovic (and Begovic repeating F*ck you back - wasn’t pretty - Paal and Hayden tried to calm the fan down) At least I don’t have as long a drive home as BR
Feels like a loss but it's another point. We have four more cup finals all against top half teams. One win should do it but do we have it in us? Hull haven't been in great form but won on Saturday, we might just surprise them...
I expect us to get at least a point at Hull and at home to Preston. Hopefully Coventry will have nothing to play for in the final game.
The thing that helps is that teams below us play each other in the coming weeks..... Saturday - Weds v Stoke Following Saturday - Stoke v Plymouth, Rotherham v Brum, Blackburn v Weds Penultimate Saturday - Hudds v Brum, Millwall v Plymouth Plus Plymouth v Leicester this Friday
Still very tight, although statistically there's only been one season in the last 10 that a team has needed over 50 points (51 for forest in 2016/17)
Another 2 points pissed down the Kermit, ffs the chances we miss are actually criminal. We are so **** infront of goal, and we always have a kamikaze moment in us at the other end. El Cif again made **** subs and at tge wrong times imo, he seems to be losing the plot in these games as much as the players are ! Somehow , we have to survive and bring in a goalscorer, if that means flogging half the squad then so be it. There's not 1 player we have who is invaluable !
Marti and his staff have access to all the fitness data, both before and during the game. That must influence some of his decisions. However, I can't quite work out why he sent Albert on.
I love El Cif but seriously .... . ...in a relegation dogfight, with only a handful of games remaining, where every point available needs to be fought tooth and nail for....... ....Wtf is Albert Adomah doing getting any game time???
Same here, I thought he did ok and couldn't do anything about the own goal. **** happens! But we do need to get rid of him next season, alongside Begovic, Dykes, Frey, Armstrong, Smyth and Richards.
