Jourdan Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 It’s been a really tough seven days with three agonising results. But I’d be disappointed if we threw the towel in now. Yes, we are running out of games and yes, it will take something extra special especially if Reading find a positive result or two from somewhere. But we have to believe, until the very end. The Barnsley game holds the key - a win and the return of Lawrence could breathe new life into the season. I don’t like to talk about must win games but to be honest, that’s what every game at PP is now. The away form is a huge concern. Isn’t that five defeats on the spin since Reading away? We have to find some inspiration from somewhere. Time for Wayne and Liam to see what they can conjure up.

Anag Ram Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I didn’t think the players looked like they believed in themselves tonight. Everyone is playing the safe percentage pass and hoping someone else will create the spark. The running off the ball is woeful. Cashin, Byrne and Morrison did okay but the rest were very average. Cardiff were there for the taking. We were eunuchs in the harem. Rammy03, 1967Ram, LeedsCityRam and 5 others 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it's frustrating to lose another game, but I think it does us a disservice to blame refs and play victim all the time. We just weren't at our best, that is it. r_wilcockson and atherstoneram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were poor all night, the arguable decision didn't cost us. It cost us a point as much as our lack of cutting edge, but the latter is the reason we’ve lost the last three games. And it’s hardly surprising given 2.5 years of embargoes has meant we can’t sort the problem. RoyMac5 and Inverurie Ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 3 minutes ago, PistoldPete said: I thought knight was poor today and morrison had a good game. but we have no cutting edge, that is very obvious and very painful after three narrow defeats where we should have got something from all three games really if we had any strikers at all. But I don't think I can remember such poor reffing for the Cardiff goal since attwell against forest . The beauty of football is we all see it differently. I can agree with your first sentence, I too thought Morrison had a good game, and Knight has had better. However, Jason just doesn't stop, and had he still been on the field I think he'd have been defending that flank rather than Malcolm, and would have made a better job of it. I have to disagree with the last sentence, I'd didn't think it was a foul on Ebosele, and Davies was as guilty of holding as their player as their player was.

Every team gets loads of poo decisions, the refs in this league are bad. We nicked a point from Birmingham with an offside Bielik with his foot dangerously high. I don't think it's a disgrace, nor do I feel hard done by. We all see it differently. I see a pattern that has evolved over the season. Doesn't matter really, theres nowt we can do about it. atherstoneram and Andicis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Martin Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 17 minutes ago, Carl Sagan said: We paid 6 million for a player who was far and away the guy at the club with the least technical ability. And he called us Derby City. Total waste of space. Nothing to contribute on and off the pitch and surely disliked by the vast majority of fans for being the personification of the beginning of the decline. Hardly his fault we decided to pay that price. and to be fair he wasn't that bad. Steve How Hard? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you disagree with him, do you not think he’s trying to deflect from those young players who are struggling but he’s been given no option but to play? Also think of all the crap he’s had to endure this season, where he’s taken it all on the chin. He sounded dejected and frustrated and he’s done well to not walk away and take it all out of his hands. It’s very easy to criticise Rooney, Lawrence, Davies etc when it all goes wrong but they’ve put more on their shoulders this season than anyone and battled week in week out, it’s fallen apart the last few weeks but it would be a miracle to do what they were doing for the whole season.

Again, I'm not blaming him for performances. Nor have I blamed the players, we have what we have. We've a limited squad due to circumstance. It is fine for us to slump, understandable and expected. Blaming the ref is a bit embarrassing. Edited March 1, 2022 by Andicis TuffLuff and RoyMac5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombo Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 11 games, probably need to win at least half of those if not more. Even 5 wins and 6 draws would mean 41 points. Reading would have to take about 1 point per game for the final 11 to make it happen. It's more like 6 or 7 wins we need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re owed some decisions definitely and we need luck and lots of it in the last 11 games to have any chance. We keep believing! ?

As I say mate, even if you don’t agree it’s an attempt to deflect from his squad at the very least. He can take the criticisms that his young side can’t at the minute.
