Today's team, without a doubt that was worse than Donny away, Burnley away, Scunny and Sheff Utd at home! We'd supposedly turned a corner? We've got young hungry skilful players in and the old over paid under performers out? Err well on that performance we've not moved on! And that is what makes today so very very disappointing. QPR will roll us over on Monday and celebrate promotion in the process, we'll have a long journey back on the back of losing our away record to boot! For me, that's the season over, it's been a roller coaster which eventually ended on a downer!
Do you not believe it's possible for the club to have a bad day? Afterall QPR got tonked by scunny 4-1 the other week. I can understand if we have had a run of bad results.
I think the issue (at home) can be summarised as 'inconsistance' The goals tally tells us all we need to know. Why is that? My personal theory is that our midfield is the weak link in the team. OK the defence today were a disgrace! Our strikers are, shall we say limited. Plenty of work next season if we really want to be contenders.
The obvious weak link is simple, you give any team in this league three goals you deserve to lose...... I still think the first half shows why we don't deserve to be in the play offs, inconsistency with youths, we all said we wanted open attacking football, and this is the danger of playing it.
You are stupid. Millwall or Burnley where worse performances. Today we just made some individual errors. We didn't play that badly overall hence the reason we scored 2 goals and could of had more
Today was worse for me since I go to Teesside Uni, never had some many txts and facebook messages in the space of 10minutes
We had to change the tactics from what was working, it didnt pay-off, ultimately next season when Pearson has a full squad of his own players minus the deadwood we will make the play-offs easily- where we are now from where are a few months ago is massively improved for the better.
I'll be very interested to see the squad for next year. It might sound strange, but if we don't finish in the top 3/4 I think we'll go down. We don't do things by halves, and we definitely won't come mid-table.
