Tudders Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 2 hours ago, wawawuto said: Not a disaster, just embarrassing that we cannot score a goal with the amount our strikers have cost, even the ones we have available at the moment So would you rather we have lost 5-4 in those last few games? The main thing isn’t the lack of goal. It’s that Jos has come in, seen the lack of discipline and is tackling it. He’s shores up a defence which leaked 3 against Burton and Boro at home and has picked up valuable points. The goal drought will fix itself once Hooper and Forestieri are back. We are heading in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shetland Owl Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Jos has concentrated on the defence and has sorted it out, we have embarked on a new formation and we are playing without many of our first team players. We will start scoring goals, we have picked up points from top teams, something which didn't look likely under Carlos. We are heading in the right direction, just give Jos the time and more players are back soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely pathetic if you think about it. Yes last night's point at Middlesbrough and arguably the point at Brammall Lane were good points, but the fact we didn't score in either of them, let alone manage a goal against Burton or Cardiff is frankly pathetic. With the amount of strikers we have, even in the current injury crisis, the strikers we have must have a combined transfer total of about £20million. The fact that not one of them could manage a goal all month is embarassing to the club. We must go and score at least on Saturday. The defence has done it's part (except Burton, which I will excuse as it wasn't under Luhukay) but our attack is so painful to watch. Rhodes, Joao, Matias and Nuhiu should be able to manage 1 goal per month between them, come on. For some people talking out of their arse comes naturally ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wednesday Fan Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 It is a tad disappointing but wait till Gaza Bazza and Nazza get fit and all will be good. On the positive side Jazza has kept some cracking clean sheets!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flo Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 The league doesnt matter anymore pal, what matters is that Nuhiu is banging them in in the fa cup. if he can continue in that vain of form we will probably win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlyegg Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Playing for a point makes sense in the circumstances we find ourselves especially against the likes of borough away, no worries yet....2 or 3 players back we should see the real intentions. This season is foooked league wise anyhow, the cup is a nice distraction. If we can get past swansea/notts county, hopefully by the quarters we will be near to our best 11 and then we may show some real ambition and play a weakened side in the league and concentrate on the cup. If we still play not lose football when most are fit then it will be time for melt down 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All whilst progressing nicely through the FA Cup rounds What you've said in the above is all right, however to stay up we'll need to win a few games. We can't draw our way to safety (ok we probably can on 33 points with 17 to play, but risky) At some point we might have to go and and get goals, and it might have to be without Hooper and FF. At some point 5-3-2 or 5-4-1 may have to go genuinely go to 3-5-2. I guess Jos will decide when we need to risk goals for goals.

shezzas left peg Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 They need the ammunition to score, look around a midfield of joey (just settling in df mf) Jones and Butterfield is hardly creative bud, they give whoever you have up front little to no service, add to that Palmer and Fox, whom while solid and workman like aren't hardly Kyle walker, Roberto carlos or cafu..

DobbinTheDonkey Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Inexperienced Keeper. Inexperienced Centrehalf. Two fullbacks apparently no more than League 1 standard by some on here. New DM, no experience in the Championship, new to the country. Not sure what people expect. Confidence was completely shot and confidence is everything. Lucky has protected those players by the system he has chosen. Confidence has been gained. Up front we are relying on 4 players. One who looks a shadow of what he was and 3 others that we were deemed nowhere near good enough only months ago, A new system being implemented without the advantage of a preseason, all while trying to make sure we get points on the board. All three teams in the top 6. 2 away from home. 1 at home were we created 4 clear cut chances Now let's take the above into consideration and have a long think about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
