Curtains Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Half fanThats me but at least I went to Mansfield to see the 5-1 and Mascarells brilliant performance and equisite free kick goal for u21s the night after Bournemouth game. M1 a bit tricky on JCN 28 road works though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-Ram Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Surely this is to be expected when the team is playing under intense pressure and scrutiny from the fans. That, along with teams playing deep and on the counter, was always going to lead to more draws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaftesbury Street Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 1 loss in 14 games and we have not conceded in 360 minutes of football. Eustace and the back line are doing a brilliant job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eustace and the back line are doing a brilliant job.I won't talk about Eustace . But we have changed our style at home . ie We don't go at teams as much anymore we sit back playing too much across the back line for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 A sign of the times. I bet Mansfield under 21's didn't put 11 men behind the ball. Team's would be daft to come to the iPro and try and beat us at our own game, that's why these games are tight, boring and hard to watch. Show's how far we've come mind now teams are doing this. Wasn't too long ago I saw Ssausagehorpe United come and smash us off the park at PP. It could be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtains Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Didn't see you around after the Bolton and Bournemouth wins Curtains, loss of Internet?Bolton are rubbish so didn't see much to shout about there. Bournemouth was a grind not much to shout about there. I get insulted a lot on here so did think about leaving forum to be honest. I'm not liked on here much because I'm not as optimistic as others.

YorkshireRam Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Question to you. Do we have quality players at the club. I'll admit we lacked quality yesterday, especially in the final third. However, we can't expect a moment of magic from one player every match that will end up winning us the game. Millwall are a difficult team to break down, we saw that yesterday. Also, we lost this fixture last year so one point gained from last season's results. Another bonus: yet another clean sheet. That shows our defensive players are performing admirably and that can only be a positive. This is important considering that conceding goals last season was a big weakness of ours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get insulted a lot on here so did think about leaving forum to be honest. Do you really expect us to turn up to every game and thrash the team 5-0? Let's be realistic, a win against Bournemouth was a great result saying we didn't play very well. A sign of a good team is winning when you're not playing to the best of your abilities.

K-Ram Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 The fact there were groans and discerning voices when Ibe lost the ball for example, or just the expectancy after reaching the Play-Off Final last year, but I believe the players feel under pressure and this is causing jitteriness. Whereas away from home they don't have the same pressure and have arguably had better results over the season. This may well be due to the fact that teams have to attack when at home, and thus leave more holes. Look back to the Bournemouth game, you can hear audible dissent from the crowd when the players were working the ball from side-to-side, waiting for thr opportunity that eventually arose. Certainly before this game the players were starting to look more liberated, and the cause of the draw was simply fatigue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireRam Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 But Millwall have been losing all the time before they met us so why are they difficult to break down. Because they came with a game plan. Stop us playing football, slow the game down and stay very solid at the back. That makes them difficult to play against. We saw that last season and we lost that game. Had the game been at The Den, I imagine Millwall wouldn't have played this way and we would have been able to play more fluid football. We have to accept that teams now will come to the iPro and put 11 men behind the ball due to the way we play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
