Philb125 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 In reflection I'd have taken 5pts from the last 3 games and we've done well over last 8games without key players for a few of the games. Performances havent been where they need to be but have a feeling that the players spent every ounce of energy vs Newcastle and we haven't recovered from that game. Now one with a cup game coming up and a few players coming back / coming in we get a chance to recharge regroup and reassess before a fresh set of tough games. Not bad spot to be in, could be better but I bet villa, Newcastle, Derby and quite a few others would switch spots in a heart beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughan Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Perhaps if we played with a similar tempo throughout the match as we do in the last 10 minutes , we might pull a couple of goals clear. The sight of Westwood dawdling with his goal kicks was winding me the fooook up today. Im p1ssed off tonight. We should have dealt with Wolves comfortably and we have the players and ability to do it. I thought we had dispensed with the sideways crap but it was back today.

Lets get some perspective 6th close to 3-5th disappointing result but for Christ sake like a bunch of kids not getting their ice cream today. It's not though is it, Barnsley could have and probably should have got something, Rotherham also, Wolves and Preston did..One good performance in the last 5 ain't good enough, is it really? I'm not in the Carlos out brigade just yet....but some of the euphoria after a win at Newcastle was crazy and embarrassing, the big picture is we are 6th but that will not last, it's plain to see, unless we improve a fair bit. Having said that, I'm not worried yet because countless experts keep telling me Huddersfield, Leeds and Reading will fall away...Norwich and Villa will be our main threat...kin ell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickjj Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 The moment Jones was brought on for Fletcher was the most frustrating. A defensive midfielder for a forward when its0-0 and we're at home. Give may a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder though if Carlos feared defeat. They had easily the better chances to win second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My quotes are based on where we are now and what we've done and we are 6th two clear of 5th and close to third. Fwiw I agree with your assessments of those games we played but we won two and drew the other two didn't play well but came out on top how often in the past has it been the other way round and at Reading and Fulham we deserved 6 points and got one. It's swings and ...... The meltdowns are ridiculous imo, and like most I though we were brilliant at Newc. I still think We need a bit of tolerance if we lose that's different but we havnt.

Lee pops up with the odd one but Banan certainly doesn't. But Bannan only scored twice last season, and has scored one at the half way point. And Lee scored six, and has already scored four. So whilst that might not be "enough", its no worse than last season. Insufficient goals from wingers is a better shout. From FF, Matias, Wallace, Sougou and McGeady we scored handsomely from the wings. I think 17. This season we have two from FF when he played wide, and Reach at Newcastle, but thats it.
