No way in a million years is that our starting line up for the play offs. So how you can say there's no way we're going up after a game we used as a training match. Playing our strongest 11 we will match anyone
Don't understand why your having a massive rant on the match day thread after not seeing the game wtf is that about haha
We cant go into the playoffs with 11 plauers mate. Baring in mind at least half of todays team will start. The players that step in are clearly not upto the standard required
I have to say that I don't like our style of football. It's effective clearly but when we play bad it's a very hard watch and I don't think it would translate well if we went up. We don't create enough quality chances, I rarely feel like we control the game and we allow the opposition to sustain attacks. Jobe is a huge miss, our style is reliant on him playing as he's the link between defence and attack. Wins the ball back more than anyone and carries or passes forward constantly. I predicted we would finish mid table so i'm more than happy with the playoffs, as everyone is I think, but expectations change throughout the season and recently I don't think it's been good enough. Need to have a string of good performances going into the playoffs.
Just as likely to pick up injuries by not kicking a ball for a month then being dropped into the play off games with no match fitness. Le Fee has barely played for months he needs game time. We are overcomplicating it, just play your strongest Xl. The intensity undoubtedly won’t be the same as it would be if we were playing for something (see Preston when we beat them 3-0 last game of the season to make play offs) but it’s minutes on the pitch together for our best Xl who are going into the play offs. What’s the point in playing Neil, Rigg and Jones in midfield? It’s absolutely weak as piss. No physicality between them whatsoever. That 3 wouldn’t even get a game for a bottom half team. If he wants to experiment then do it with players you’re going to be relying on for the play offs not U21s. Trying to get Samed into the team alongside Neil on the off chance we pick up an injury in the play offs I’d say is more important than giving a lad minutes for the sake of it.
Referee was awful, the only thing he got right all day was telling their keeper to get up when he was feigning injury
Is the standard of refereeing getting worse? Because I think it is. At the very top in the PL it's horrendous right the way down to kids football they just seem to allow anyone to officiate. Ruins so many games.
Nearly as bad as Tuesday. We're a million miles away from promotion right now and frustratingly its there for the taking because theres literally no stand out teams in this league at all this season
Are you worried about the confidence of some players? I agree on a good day, but a few are having more poor days in recent times. Isidor in particular looks flat.
Disappointing again last half a dozen home games performances have been getting very stale. Team looks flat consequently crowd is flat. Don't want to criticize RLB its been a hell of a season. But his conservative attitude has slowed things down lately. We allow poor teams to look good. On the flip side we have the players to beat anyone just worry that its very difficult to go from where we are to suddenly playing on the front foot. Also you pay your money to be entertained and at home at least its a long time since I felt that.
Was so pissed off today with him, he bought every single dive and fake injury missed every proper tackle and stopped play for a foul when we had advantage, absolutely awful. And prity sure we should have had a pen too but not seen it back yet.
