Fair enough, bad choice of words - I meant they got a lot of players behind the ball and looked to stifle us. You're right though, they did keep back four busy too, few clear-cut chances but yeah.

Jones, Pudil, Reach and Hunt were abysmal, truly abysmal. When they pressed us we had zero composure and just handed the ball back to them. We didn't create a single chance for Rhodes and yet he comes up with an assist so fair play to him. It's the question that keeps coming back but why aren't we playing like last season and taking lesser teams apart? Credit to Carlos in saying we weren't up to standard but please stop with the days rest stuff because I'm afraid my friend that's English football and our squad should be big enough to cope with it. Got away with one tonight but we need to improve and fast. Get the tempo up, find that balance and stick to it, don't chop and change. Get Abdi in midfield somehow and be smarter in your subs. 2 home games to come and we need to come out of the traps flying and flaming stick it to the opposition. Smarter with Subs . Crying out for MacManaman and Abdi two hours before kick off, Semedo was a gime given Pudil cramped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Copthorneowl Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 It's amazing really and quite funny how so many of us see a different game altogether. I thought Reach, Hunt, Pudil and Sasso ( Sasso so often rabbit in headlights) were all dire some think the full backs were OK. Just shows how it's all just opinions and nobody should insult somebody else for theirs. We're all owls so let's try and avoid keyboard warrior speak we have won but I though we were sheeite.

Beauchief Owl Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 1 minute ago, A12owl said: I thought Fessi was the only player likely to score. He was chasing forwards and backwards and showed more enthusiasm and effort than most of the others. Made a nuisance of himself. What happens.... he gets subbed. Perhaps he was injured or being saved for 9 days time. A12owl, I should point out that we're playing Birmingham next Friday so that's seven days. Don't want you to miss it!

Kevan Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Another team that we should have dominated, but completely failed to do so. Poor, very poor irrespective of the short recovery time from Tuesday. Where is the attacking football we were promised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Carlos didnt have as many to choose from but all were experienced squad members. Squad of 18 had 10 players with over a season of appearances for Wednesday The other 8 includes Rhodes, who made his debut Wednesday were without 7 of the squad tonight due to (reported) suspension/injury: Lee Fletcher Hooper Lees Matias Hutchinson Emanuelson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it how all the football managers on here make it sound so easy. By the way what's your profession at the moment? I know It wasn't pretty tonight but with the injuries and suspensions we have plus Wigan scrapping for thier lives it was always going to be a battle. It hasn't been pretty since 10 games before the end of last season you empty head. It doesn't take a pro coach to see the same poo performances week in week out. Read my comments before spouting testicles the last thing I want is Carlos to go but he has got it bang wrong and has for a while. We have spent a fortune and we have a great squad now. At this moment we are not fulfilling its potential even he said we were bobbar tonight so is he talking testicles???? we mustered one shot on target the entire game tonight and couldn't string more than 2 passes together. If it was a one off then there wouldn't be anything to be concerned about but it's nearly every game. Slow, laboured, no cutting edge, sit back and counter, when we score try and defend with 9 men behind the ball. Im not the kind of person who expects us to go up thinking we have a god given right, I do however have common sense and can see a host of teams in and around us who are playing way better and if we continue in the same vein we will not make play offs. It really is that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldGigsChris Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Carlos is making the game too complicated for our players. After being found out early in the season he seems to imagine how our opponents will think we'll play and play in a different way to that - rather than playing to OUR strengths. God knows how we've got the points we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snufkin123 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 The talent of our players is now being 'snuffed out' by negative tactics. We need the goals to improve our goal difference - we've got the strike force, but if they are not supported the goals won't come unfortunately.

As i said before you should be manager if you can't do that and if you find it so painful watching us stop watching stop going do something else with your time instead of wasteing it on here you pillock Edited February 3, 2017 by Corneliusreeve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
