Brammie Steve Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 We only had ten men! They had twelve! And still had to use five subs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deserved nothing. Barely an attack in anger in 70 mins against 10 men. Waghorn should be ashamed and shouldn’t be involved for the foreseeable - he’s not indispensable enough to need him. How many times has it been said on here that the opposition were awful .... after a defeat ? Not using today as an example because a stupid decision and an inept ref has really cost us but it’s an ongoing recurring theme table doesn’t lie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re looking a good unit. Add a bit of class up top and can see us beating a lot of teams. Onwards ...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could have happened anytime, but didn't. So, between Waghorn getting sent off and the ref's somewhat irritating decisions at the end, it's Shinnie's fault. Ok. You do you.

He and Buchanan were both worried about the overlap but yeah it did look like he was caught in two minds without clearly communicating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 The key thing now is the reaction. Rooney has done brilliantly so far and that defeat wasn't his fault. But it will take some management skills to stop that denting confidence and the squad's energy levels. This is the point where it's safer to have an experienced manager. Rooney could easily get this wrong and return us to the previous downward spiral. If he doesn't, I'd suggest that Rooney will go on to be a superb manager.

DavesaRam Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 We lost that by a stupid, concrete-for-brains challenge and a crap referee. We always get crap refs, which leaves us to cut out the stupid red card. Sadly it is likely that Lawrence will be back. We’ve done good without him, and he too is a red card waiting to happen. Re the poor defending for the goal: of the ref had given a free kick for the foul on Sibley, the attack would never have happened and we wouldn’t have been a man short in defence as a result of the foul. And it wasn’t just that foul, or the Fergie time, it was the almost incessant flow of fouls by Preston which he failed to give, Knight wrestled to the ground on the touch line, Tichards wrestled by two players at once not given, Richards running through midfield into position gets blocked off and Bond plays advantage to Preston, and so it went on. Rooney gave him hell after the match - Good man, Wayne. AND YES. IT IS DAVE HAVING A RANT AT THE REF AGAIN. DAMM RIGHT IT IS. GOOD JOB I’M NOT IN THE STAFF CAR PARK!???????????????????????????????????????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wistaston Ram Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Just about calmed down after that last minute kick in the teeth. So disappointing to lose to such a poor side (and ref), but plenty of positives to take away for the Brum game. Fortunately other results went our way today so at least we have not lost much ground. Lets show the same desire and we'll pick up three points on Tuesday. UTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Painful one that, given the effort we put in second half. Shocking refereeing performance was the final nail in the coffin, but idiocy by Waghorn cost us that match ultimately. We’d have won that game with 11 men, yet here we are with nothing instead, and still in the relegation zone. Very disappointing to see all that work we put in defensively second half to keep Preston at bay go to waste. We did so well with 10 men to hang on until the very end, damn you Darren Bond! Another home loss with no goals though, which isn’t good news, despite the mitigating circumstances. Leaves us in the relegation zone having played a game more than Rotherham. We’re still very much in a big fight for survival, anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not so certain that it’s going to be such a sucker-punch. The players will feel they lost because of injustice rather than any particular mistakes they made, which could be motivating.

That is one of the basic things we should expect and demand. In an ideal world yes but we’re not naive enough to think that’s the case.

MK-Ram Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I had us down to lose today, so even though I got that prediction right, it's encouraging to see that it wasn't a case of being outplayed. Great chance for 6 points over the next two games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 According to the BBC it was an inspired display by Marshall that nearly earned us a point. Makes it sound like they battered us, I don't remember it that way at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlsonDerby Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Here’s hoping it doesn’t knock the wind out the sails because we can still go and win 2/3 of the next 3 games and sit pretty a good 5/6 points about the relegation zone. With a game in hand. We are still so much more resolute at defending. Love Knight - build his statue now - but he needs to play centrally. His end product really lets him down when it comes to being out wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 So deflating. Have to say though, I'm kinda proud that with only 10 men for the vast majority of the game, we've more than held our own against 12* *yes, I meant 12!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !! Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 That was dog poo referring, a clear free kick. Either way boot it away. Preston are awful. Our bench today tells me a lot- Ingram had one job to do and that's hold the ball for the last few minutes and was was beaten twice- bloke invites pressure. Ibe may as well stay at home, if he doesn't get game time today, getting 45 minutes out of him will be rarer than the second coming of Christ.

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I'm annoyed today, but not with anyone on our side that isn't named Waghorn. The lads on the pitch did what they could, despite the result I'm well chuffed with the effort. As for Preston, a nothing club going nowhere as per usual. Duck 'em.
