Sheff44 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Thought we played well to moderate. Held our own against a top 3 side. But they played poorly, expected alot more from them. That helped us. We showed very little attacking threat, substitutes were negative. Boyd is s***. Impressed with Hector, luv this guy. Deserved man of match. But as stated as before the dish needs to be spent for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 They played as well as we let them......Their only real threat was the lad who swings good crosses in...apart from that...they were a bit ordinary.... We have improved immensely, sadly maybe a month too late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Don’t think Bruce had many options in terms of taking Fessi off. The lads put in a good shift, ultimately both sides were too scared to make a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Think both sides will be thinking what might have been without being too unhappy at the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) You can just imagine FF walking into the changing room and saying his hamstring doesn’t feel right. And then Bruce scans across the options available.... Fox Dawson Nuhiu Boyd Matias Pelupessy Pudil ...it’s like a who’s who of ineffective, pedestrian footballers Edited March 4, 2019 by McRightSide 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ash60s Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Tactical plan for every opponent - shows the lads can adapt to different scenarios instead of the previous tosh we got served up Well done Brucie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiejohn Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Think the lack of options on the bench killed us especially with FF going off . Could have done with jaoa or ideally hooper to bring on. Saying that we gave as good as we got and had the best chance compared to last three derbys that’s a vast improvement and that’s down to the manager. I think wilder half expected an improvement from us with the way he spoke before the game again down to the Bruce effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Options were limited on bench, Nuhiu would be my choice but then we would have had little pace up top, don't rate Boyd but only other option Matias does nowt when given chances. Pity João was unavailable. Winnall would have been a good choice, I'm not sure if he's injured again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifty Powers Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I’m just glad it’s all over for another season. That pressure in the last 15 minutes... horrible. I said before last night that 4 points from the next 2 gives us a small chance of a late push, so beat derby on Saturday (although it’s a ground I’ve never seen us win) and who knows.

Eightace Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 We battled but didn't attack well. We punted it too often. We know we can play some good stuff at times. It was nerves and the conditions. Bannan and Reach go missing in games too often this season and they are key. It was far better then the last 0-0 though. Utd probably under performed too. I can't believe that's their best or they wouldn't be third. But they did get some dangerous crosses in. It wasn't bad just not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stocksyuto Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 The last 15 minutes the pigs turned up and had a go when mcgoldrick came on. The rest of the time they set up to defend and keep us quiet. To many of our players go missing in games like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby lose their game tonight we could be level on point if we win them on saturday. They play wigan so can see them winning that Edited March 5, 2019 by stocksyuto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poite Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Master class in football management and tactics by Bruce. If we'd tried to match utd by playing silly football they would have wiped us off the park. Bruce instructed the team to get out there and make it a scrap. We did and they couldn't find a way to play their game. Tactics executed brilliantly but even better we actually had a go ourselves and made it an even game. MOM for me was Liam Palmer. Absolutely brilliant all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we seem to get forced into substitutes for injuries most games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
