Popular Post Nero Posted October 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2019 We shouldn't let this stupid narrative become normalised. A tight 1 0 win in the championship against a team who've won their last two games and made one single chance in the game is not playing 'awful'. We were excellent in defence, the midfield held their shape and we scored one of our two chances.Call it dull or unexciting fair enough. Just to remind some that we spent f all this summer and lost our manager just before the season started. Now a 1 0 home win against Stoke City to take us 3rd in the league is an 'awful' Wednesday performance. Believe me we can do a lot worse. 9 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horny owl Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 If some people think last night was bad I’m watching Huddersfield v Boro and it’s making my eyes bleed Terrible clueless drivel If we don’t get promoted this season from this crappy league we probably never will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful game. We are much better team than these two. I reckon we are set up to do well away from home at the moment. Really well organised, but perhaps struggling to impose ourselves on teams when the onus is on us to attack. Give it time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HillsboroughOwlNI Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I wouldn’t say “we” were awful last night. Defensively, and tactically we were excellent. As a spectator, the match was bleeding awful though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradowl Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Must have watched a different game to me because although there was a lack of goalmouth action there was always something happening in game, both teams gave everything. I even spotted Adam Reach putting some strong challenges in. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 At least Monk has some credibility. Woodgate is a notorious thicko. How on earth did he get that job? Gibson has totally lost it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteG_1984 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I’m perfectly happy for us to be awful and keep winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I enjoyed the game, it was a bit stop start because of all the injuries, but we had good performances all over the pitch, okay we weren't fluent in our play but we weren't bad. I thought Loungo was excellent before he went off I couldn't understand the tactic of constantly firing long balls up for Reach to contest on the wing, going for headers isn't Reach's game, but we persisted with it The main thing that spoils games for me is referees, I can take a defeat, I can take a poor performance, but 90% of games me and my son just talk about the referee, fortunately last night we got a good one We looked solid as a team, and that's the way to get out of this division, Carlos had us playing glorious football in that first season, but we're no better off for it The way to get promoted is to be a solid unit, Monk knows this It might not be pretty but it's effective 3 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Owls-Fan Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I feel some posters don’t watch enough championship football of other teams if they feel we are that terrible. Cardiff got promoted with the lowest possession stats in the league. We’re just missing a creative spark, send PL winger Murphy back to Newcastle in January and replace him for someone better and we’ll be in good shape. Monk can’t fix everything before a transfer window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinowl Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Being honest it was an awful game in which both sides cancelled each other out. it was the lack of fluency and planning that annoyed me. To be fair Loungo got forward and looks a good asset but the performance was so dis jointed and there was no plan B. FF was a like for like and nothing changed. A draw would have been a fair result and we’d be down in 8 th or 9th now and there would be grumblings. it is a fine line in this league but Saturday is a huge game where we could really make a statement. Hoping for a Carlsberg Saturday, Eng rugby win and then a result at Weeds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Rider Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Accept the reality. The premiership is weak. As a natural result it follows the subsequent leagues are weak. The last World Cup showed how weak world football is at current time. Therefore we can only be grateful the league we compete in isn’t scary, and we can only beat what’s in front of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we played like that in 3 games in a row and lost people would be angry mad though. as long as it works all is good. Tbh though I don’t like us sitting back and inviting teams on like we have in the last two games because we won’t be immaculate at the back all the time. Yeah, said this to my mate last night, I never feel comfortable when we are defending a one goal lead because its usual Wednesday fashion to concede an equaliser at some point. I had horrible visions of piggy Duffy scoring that free kick in stoppage time. But yes recently the sitting back and countering has been nerve wracking to watch and that's being against two sides who spent the majority of the game launching long balls into out area, Leeds will be a total different game, they'll probably have loads of possession and pressure us from the first whistle, if we happen to score first it would be asking for trouble if we attempt to sit deep and soak it up after.

Guest The Horse Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Monk hasn't been able to bring any of his own players in yet so can only work with what he's got. Not so long ago we made QPR look like Barcelona. He's done the necessary and made us solid. But the thing he's done which hasn't really been mentioned yet is that I think he's got the squad believing in this 'style'. They've bought into it and are making it work. Monk has admitted that he wants to work more on the attacking side but that will come. One thing at a time. It would be bonkers if he got us promoted first time but think he's a well rounded and capable manager who will really deliver if given a good few seasons. What he's done so far is quite brilliant really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
