SallyCinnamon Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Last minute equaliser, struggled to get excited to be honest. At least we haven’t lost. A thoroughly pathetic performance. Call me miserable or whatever, sorry that I expect a bit more from our players. Expect a lot more in fact. The only postitive about today is breaking Rotherham hearts, but that’s only a little positive because largely I don’t give a poo about Rovrum. Only thing we can hope for this season is we don’t get stuffed by the Pigs and they suffer promotion heartbreak. How sad is that. That’s the best we can hope for, how far we’ve fallen in the space of 2 years. It’s actually quite remarkable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Still unbeaten under Bruce though He has had a soft start, and I can’t say I’ve been too impressed with his tactics so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players need to look at themselves and take some responsibility. 1 win and 3 draws against the four we’ve just played is shocking for me. Normally get a bit of a bounce with a new manager too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest timrud Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 You need to look at the bigger picture. We have a limited squad and until it can be shaken up Bruce can only do so much with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee A Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 We're crap, but not crap enough to go down. That's enough for this season. I have no expectations on a Saturday any more, we get a point or 3 it's a bonus. But after looking like sliding into trouble before Christmas, I'm happy to drift into mid table mediocrity this season. Just hope ( and I have no faith that we will ) we make the right decisions in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it for me, this squad isn't good enough. I wouldn't be sorry to see a single one of them leave in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.. Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Very poor performance but gives him the excuse now to change things up, you absolutely cannot change your defence (except for injuries/suspensions) when you've gone 4 clean sheets in a row and 8 in 12 etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westfield Owl Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Take the emotion of scoring the equaliser out of it, today’s performance was unacceptable. Just like too many of our other games this season. Like the OP stated, the speed in which our club has unravelled since the penalty shoot-out against Huddersfield, is embarrassing 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 If the squad is as bad as some suggest, then perhaps Jos wasn’t doing as bad a job as we thought. Of course I don’t believe that, nor do I think the squad is that bad. With a few returning players, and three of his own additions, the new manager does have the tools to be doing better. We are not going to see the wholesale changes some are demanding, so it’s important that we see a bit of tactical nous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a bloated, overpaid squad who are underperforming. It needs a total rebuild - I’m sick of seeing abject and gutless performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldino2004 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 This squad hasn’t been good enough for the last 18/24 months, and for some that realisation is only just kicking in. I for one didn’t expect a massive upturn in form when Bruce came in and that’s down to the inept squad that he has inherited. I only hope hope that the fans are patient with Bruce because he has a massive rebuilding job to do, and it’s not going to happen over night, but I am very confident that he will eventually improve the squad and move us in the right direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
