RUMBELOWS91 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Can't deny I feel relieved that we avoided a beating and stopped the rot, but that was the performance of a side looking to get a replay in a cup tie. The reality is Jos didn't dare try and win the game. We used the ball woefully for the most part and we never looked like scoring. Forestieri simply HAS to come back into this side. That line up was never going to get in the front foot tonight. If we'd have been playing Barcelona tonight I don't think we could have been more defensive. We will be relegated if we persist in playing a team with such little attacking threat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More slagging off, another game with no clean sheet, losing at the stain, Jos out, clueless etc etc.... Tell me where our attacking players are please?

CalmJimmers Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 What is going on on here? We’ve just lost 4 in a row, playing against our rivals who are riding high and score for fun, we’ve kept a clean sheet for the first time which is huge for our young keeper and other youngsters. We aren’t a force in this division any more, and will not be until a clear out is done. People have to get it out of their heads that we are this amazing team in this division. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are probably one of those that think big daft Mick or similar would get more out of this shower the manager as at his disposal. How do you know if FF is match fit. You dont so that aint an argument. We wernt playing Barcelona so that aint an argument. Shall I go on. Its got to the stage that whatever the manager does or tries to do isnt good enough. I hope DC keeps him and frustrates the likes of you for the rest of the season. The seasons gone now and consolidation is all we can ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can't fathom a way of causing teams at least some sort of problem in their half of the pitch then he shouldn't be in any sort of job, certainly not one in the 4th/5th biggest league in the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answer my question, where are our attacking players to go and win the game. Answer me. Dont deflect like some shithouse politician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 It was awful, painful to watch at times, but come on that’s a good result. Credit to the back5 and keeper. Have to try and be positive from here on in. First clean sheet,couple of attacking players back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be relegated if we persist in playing a team with such little attacking threat. In the long run I agree. However, having lost 4 in row, conceded 12 in the process and not kept a clean sheet all season then that has to be a positive. The penalty save will do Dawson a lot of good and other than that even though they had all the ball, he didn't have to do anything above what would be classed as routine. We have to offer more going forward but to get a clean sheet against our rivals who are free scoring at home and would have gone top of the league with a win is acceptable tonight. The last two times we have played them we have gone into the games in a sorry state and they have smelt blood, looking to avenge the boxing day massacre with a proper beating.

Guest Ash76 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 First clean sheet on game 17. Yeah, nothing to be positive about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinowl Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Battling performance that any dig in type manager would be proud of. Think we’re a little better than that though. We really are in a poor place. It’s either stick with JL and hope he can tune things round. But for me a year on we’ve gone backwards. Not sure what the answer is but I don’t think it’s JL.

Beholder Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 We defended well. All the defenders deserve credit. Especially the beast Hector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a clean sheet built on anything other than endeavour and a few slices of luck is it though? Basically we chucked everyone behind the ball to try and get a clean sheet. We can't set up like that again, so where's the encouragement going forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
