Just spent the last 40 mins cleaning off snow + freezing rain off my driveway - will rain later so will be an icy mess if not done, especially on a steep incline. See we are still at 0-0, so haven't missed any goals. **** and now this, the same old story - you old Codger!
Still a total inability to score any goals and secure a 2-1, 3-1 type victory. Still time to get something out of it - salvation, Jamie Mackie on.
Yep. I've never understood why goalies try to dive down at their own feet (as it were) when blocking with your legs and body is far more effective in such circumstances.
Very poor from both lynch and luongo there. Lynch the wrong side and then luongo far too slow to get out to Kodija. Smithies should do better but we can't always rely on the keeper, and he's saved us more than enough times.
Commentator - "if you can't score, conceding one can prove very costly" We have only scored 3 in last 5 matches.
Prutton is bang on with his remarks. At this level, other than the Newcastle game when they went to pieces, they've not exactly been outclassed by other teams. It's that lack of quality in the final third. I read somewhere recently that Chery has created more chances than any other player in this division so far this season, which I'm struggling to believe, but, if it's true, just reinforces the point.
Villa have spent about £25m on their three strikers. Not an excuse for our ****ness but worth noting.
Sum total of Chery's contribution has been 1 assist in the last 10 games, he is supposedly our most creative player I read on a preview to this game he has had 1 assist in the last 10 games ?
Mackie put in a good cross that Bunn claimed, Polter should have been on for the height advantage physical presence.
We need to stop turd polishing and spend some clever cash on some reasonable proven players..otherwise Div 1 next season.
If it hasn't been already with some supporters, the time is now to firmly be pushing that panic button. Brighton away up next, and our club are sinking without trace.
