I doubt it very much, I wouldn't for one. Why is it one extreme with so many posters? I haven’t read anyone suggesting all it attack. There’s defensive and there’s whatever that was Friday. Not asking for an attacking set up, it would have just been nice if every now and then one of our players opened their body up when receiving the ball and moved or played it forward. Majority of the time our midfielders touched it inside to go backwards! Was horrible to watch as there was zero ambition. No attempt to even counter attack. That game was let them have it. Attack vs defensive. When they lose it, give it back to them in the half way like and start again. Training exercise. I’ve had a couple of days to think about it. Reasonably pleased with a point and a clean sheet. Pretty disgusted with how we set up and a lot of performances. I don’t even think we defended well as a team. We defended our 18 years box excellently though. Mainly down to Hector. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Starling Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Just now, Eightace said: We played better. Had a better side out. Over a season that side and tactics would do better. Van Aken kicked the ball to them for one goal and was ball watching for the second. Reach had a poor game. We haven't improved one bit. Any mugs can turn up and put ten men behind the ball. We were woeful apart from the period where we scored. The only ones to come out with any credit were Hooper and Joao. Reach was deployed out of pisition at left back and our midfield of Jones, Bannan, Wallace and Lee was non existent and completely overrun. If you think we played well then you must have a short memory and have forgotten the aftermath of a complete blackout of players speaking to the media. I will take a 0-0 any day over a humiliating 4-2 defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 If Fridays game had been against any other of the top 3 teams away, I doubt very much we would have half as many melt downers as we have on this one. We have just lost abysmally at home, the pigs are on a high, everyone expected us getting caned but we come away with a point and a clean sheet. To top it all, the itk's on here say there is a disruptive force in the dressing room for the manager to have to put with. Jesus wept. It just gets better on here, and quite a few believe a new manager is the answer to all the problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a poignant day that always puts things into perspective of whats really important. It was very busy today, seemed to be a lot more people than last year including lots of kids which is incredibly important IMO.

BingleyOwl Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 We’re just back to same old Wednesday. Crap team, crap manager, great but rightly infuriated fan base. Suppose we best just resign ourselves to it because we’re going nowhere but League 1 with this no hope in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dukeries Owl Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Nobody is happy but many are rightly relieved that we weren't humiliated by our porcine neighbours. If we were short of attacking ambition and quality at least we stuck at it and came through relatively unscathed and we don't have to hide from our friends, family and workmates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the same here, flags out etc, put a lump in many a throat. I know my Step Daughters school went to great lengths this year to teach the kids too, special assemblies etc. I'd been worried myself the past few years that it would slip by. It does put things into perspective, absolutely UTO ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but we all knew it wouldn’t continue the way we were playing. Take Reach’s worldly goals out of our results and we would be in the relegation places. You can’t rely on those type of goals all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
