He knows like us that we blew a great opportunity today by bottling our team selection. Oh no, don't say you're going to start on Jos already.

The Batman Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 For me, the team selection was right. Result was a fair one and either side could've nicked it. It's all very well judging Swansea on how they played, and saying with a different selection we might've scored... but they played the way they did, in part BECAUSE of our line up. They'd have preferred a more open game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mkowl Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Big question for me was why Rhodes wasn't on the bench. Injured ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCOWL Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 It’s the histrionics that baffle me. I woke up, saw the team and thought, “oh, I wish that some of them weren’t playing” oh well. Off we go. Come on here and as usual it’s like WW3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not about being positive in a literal sense, I am totally tuned in to our shortcomings both now and historically. When David Graham and Ola Tidman used to line up I was fully aware some minnow club were going to put 3 past us - but it's an unspoken respect for the game that you allow the manager and players, who have earned their right to play, to give us the 'ammunition' of critique. But the petulant and entitled manner that fans of ALL clubs now conduct themselves means that the individual ego of a fan is means much more than the collective result. It was the same on Tuesday. We won, but for some we didn't do it the 'right' way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree because I doubt we will go down....Jos has even a mostly second string dead steady....So as players come back, I would expect us to gain more points....

dewsburyowl58 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 We have more than likely blown a very good chance of progressing today . That line up and the way we set out to play was like watching a Carlos side . Not enough ambition by us , we were the home side and it just wasnt good enough for me , we had the first 20 minutes then they were the better team . We just didn’t do enough to score never mind win !! Very frustrated with that today . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookieisdown Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I also would have preferred a team with more explicit threat up front. But then again in the ongoing crisis that really means Joao and Joao only. And the counterfactual is not simply that we might have been more likely to score, but also that we might have been more likely to concede. Credit to both Butterfield and Fox today, who are both long odd for player of the season, but had solid if unspectacular games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
