Ashz09 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Are people actually going to these games? Can't believe what I am reading! Did you even go last night or did you listen in your comfort of the sofa thinking what could of happened. We played really well last night the only thing we did not do is score the performance was there. Against Brummies we played well good football etc. Norwich wasn't to bad either we shown we can acually defend (Which I also seen at parts last night). Against Brighton we demolished them again conceded 2 goals it should of been over by then.If we didn't put the peformances in then fair enough i'd be negative right now but the peformances have been hungry in them games and good football just missing a goal scorer. Win on Friday and we have our best players back for Watford beat them then we're back in for top 2 funny league huh. Wolves is important as we may not have Thorne and Martin still get a result then these two will be back and we may start a run. Just hang in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ashz09 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I thought our passing and movement was decent kept the ball well no bad performance out there so would say we played well just missing a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmarklewis Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 We did not play well last night, in the first half there was a period where the ball was in the air for about 10 consistent minutes, Boro weren't great either but they could have won 3-0 due to errors from our defence. Their goal was from Christie attempting a pass down the line and giving it to one of their players to run through then play in Bamford.What is worrying is the fact that we aren't even trying to play our usual football but consistently hoofing it up to Russell who gets bossed off the ball almost everytime, I thought we might have switched formation earlier in the second half seeing as against Norwich the exact same thing happened. Yes we are missing a couple of key players but this doesn't mean we have to hoof it up to our striker which is what we never normally do, last night was a horrible game to watch.

Ashz09 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 We can't play the whole pass it on the floor for the striker to hold it up. It's not Russells game. We have to hit it in the channels for him to run onto as he's not going to win many in the air for sure. Hense the change of play for long balls to the wings for people to run onto. Stick Raul up front to hold the ball up (Joking of course..). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmarklewis Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 He never looked like he was looking to run into the channels, it's harsh on Russell because the system does not fit him at all hence why I thought he would have changed formation. It clearly doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmarklewis Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Thought Bryson was our best player last night, deserves a start against Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashz09 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I agree Bryson looked full of energy and hungry. We need a win and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Not last night we weren't, against Norwich we weren't, against Fulham we weren't....We could be still playing today and we still wouldn't score ........5 pts maybe a touch to far.......

RedSox Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 How are they getting worse? Did you see the Brighton or Brum game? Good performances. Bad results. Again tonight, good effort and performance from both sides. We're missing our focal point and top scorer. It showed a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_D Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Took us 83 minutes to get a shot on their goal last night. That is not playing well. Was hopeless hoof ball for long periods. Horrible to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Sorry Alpha. Good effort, yes. Good performance? Not sure that is justifiable. Hardly troubled their keeper and looked toothless up front until Thomas and Lingard came on. Brum, I agree with. We played them off the bloodie park.

Duracell Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 May be the same loss of form as last season at a similar time, but we're not chasing Burnley or Leicester this time. We're chasing teams we've beaten - and beaten convincingly (we seem to have dropped the Watford result from memory for some reason). No one is going to pull away like those teams did.As for "losing our attacking threat since Fulham" - is that for real? Cor, if you told me we were a team without any fit centre forwards, I might believe you...We look like a good side missing 5 players in 2 key positions (that's Martin, Bent, Thorne, Eustace and Omar in case you were wondering). The only option left is to either play academy players (one of which in Thomas has hardly set the world on fire, at any level), or play first teamers out of position (Warnock at CDM, anyone? That would have had Karanka worried...).A few people say we should change formation. What to? How about 4-4-2 with Thomas and Russell? 4-6-0 with Buxton as a false nine?We're arguing about which inexperienced U21 players should play where. Someone suggested bringing in Rickie Lambert on loan. Then Emanuel Adebayor. Surely when things are getting that daft, you realise how desperately unusual our predicament is? It's such a shame that we have to find someone or something to 'blame', when in reality, we're unfortunate enough to be suffering from a perfect storm of injured players and a fixture congestion against our promotion rivals.

Bridgford Ram Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 If Bamford missed and Lingard had scored would you say the same. Nigel Clough's Barmy Army? Was a tight game between 2 good teams decided by a great finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Watch it again. You are over exaggerating. We struggled up front but overall we were not that bad against a decent team. Could easily have gone either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 thought it was long ball towards the end but not until we were desperate. We still built up decent possession/pass stats. But mostly at the back tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yani P Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 OK so now we are 2 points worse than last season so the bad run has eclipsed last season (didnt think that was possible.. We ended last season LWWWWWD I honestly believe we will go WWWWWWW this season Sadly that will probably only get us a play off spot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Capp Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 This side reminds me a bit of the 1993/94 side that missed out in the play offs - loads of talent but can't quite deliver when the chips are down. It wasn't until that side was rebuilt that we went up in 1995/96. I've half a feeling if we miss out this time there may be some big changes in the summer and we'll come back stronger.Having said that McClaren may point to the injuries and go again with the same team...And before anyone says anything, yes the splinters in my ****from sitting on the fence do come keen :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
