The line up today without Adel was pure idiot stuff . I watched Adel at half time and he looked very relaxed NW put him on and there was an instant expectation around ... Without him and with the new players we are poor Barton 3/10 not a good player SWP ...6/10 excellent work but not effective going forward as he should be Traore looked shaky as did young It was the long ball game I am livid
Back from the game and would like to have seen us taken the game to them more, particularly as we were at home. With Heidar on his own up front never thought we were going to score today. Just think our defence is shakey and NW tries to keep everything tight and not to lose which we would have done if it wasnt for Paddys great save at the death. I think we have the players to stay up its just getting the right system. Got to start winning some home games though otherwise we are going back to the championship.
It amazes me how some of these players actually think we should have won the game on the performance they produced. Things won't get any better whilst these overpaid primadonnas actually believe that they are playing well. Footballers often get branded as being thick as pig s**t. Barton and his tweeting chums do nothing to change that image.
No, it wasn't champagne football, but i thought we worked very hard and were fairly solid. Ali was great first half, Heidar was good and looked sharper than BB has been, Mackie ran everything as long as he could, but I reckon we need Adel in form to open up PL defences. The goal against was terrible - Derry coming off the line and the ball went where he'd just been, and Onesize gave Samba the free header, but I feel better having seen the game than I was after reading the comment on here. If we can step it up a bit and cut out some mistakes, we could beat Chelsea if we get lucky! You RRRR
