I mean would you swap a pretty loss for an ugly win. I know they are not mutually exclusive, but I'd rather we played controlling football that won points vs expansive football that didn't. Fair points. I just think we are boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a joke. Nope not because we've lost one game, we've been boring and predictable most of this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbobbins Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 That foul was closer to being inside than the penalty he gave for handball. These refs need some technology to help with hugely important decisions like that. Just too much at stake these days to get those decisions wrong.

I just think we are boring I thought the same about Arsenal in 90s, Porto when they won champions league, Chelsea and any other team Mourinho manages too! It's a shame that football doesn't award points for flair, excitement or entertainment and that now it's so commercialized. I'm happy to try and play great football once we've established ourselves in the big league. Until then though I'd happily have 1 deflected shot per game winning 1-0 and going up!

rob1601 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Ref needs suspending after that. Lino didn't flag, ref should be relying on Lino to give the handball not for him to guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just about us being boring, it's about how slow we are, we lack upbeat tempo, we have no urgency, we're pedestrian and laboured, we refuse to run at defenders, we're not making the other teams keeper work. We've rode our luck so far this season, I can think of ONLY 2-3 games where we actually played well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly a fair comparison. We need to play with more energy and freedom, we have the players.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But again, do you score points for tempo, speed, running at defenders.... whilst we are averaging (over last 10 or so games) over two points a game I can't criticize what's clearly working because it is boring. Probably the wrong thread anyhow! So let's just agree to cheer on plucky passionate six fingered neighbours! I certainly hope they can grind out a win!

Bob Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Shocking decision by Mike Dean, had to be a guess from his position. It also proves most assistants are told not to get involved unless asked because he had a good view. In my day I would have been lucky not to be demoted.

Philb125 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Well done our six fingered friends! Going into this weekend I'd have taken two in pack below dropping points and also two above us dropping points... really hope we can go away to Bristol and Wigan and put a few points on table now to cement our spot there and add some pressure to Leeds and Udders!

gurujuan Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Yes, the other results weren't as bad as they could have been Having said that, it's what we do that concerns me, and there's plenty of room for improvement there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroswfc Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Still in play-offs thank god. Henri Lansbury signs for Aston Villa From Nottingham Forest. Good Championship signing. Ryan Tunnicliffe signs for Wigan Athletic from Fulham. One of the best Championship Central Midfielders. Colin Quaner signs for Huddersfield Town from Union Berlin. Good signing for Championship. Marcus Browne signs for Wigan Athletic from West Ham United. Not good enough. Kerim Frei signs for Birmingham City from Besiktas. Great singing.

Have you been sniffing Columbian marching powder? Tunnicliffe one of the best centre midfielders in the Championship? And i wasnt aware Kerim Frei had a great voice?
