s6 owl Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Let's just be honest with ourselves... Boring, Wasteful, Frustrating and ultimately just not good enough. We all knew what tonight's game was going to be like. We are a poor team in a poor division and nobody will make me believe otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 No way we are getting promoted anytime soon. I’ll be happy to stay in this league should we get a points deduction. This squad has failed on 2 occasions to get promoted and is mentally weak and fragile. It needs a clear out and starting again. Iorfa looked great tonight and he’s a major plus this season. Borner is decent as well and I’m sure they can form an excellent partnership. There are some pluses but I’d be tempted to have a total re-fresh if possible.

horny owl Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 The lads seem to be putting the effort in But the quality up top is seriously lacking We need to change our entire set of strikers because this is never going to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Just now, daleblue said: I don't believe any are under performing, I think all players we have can have good, not so good ,and poor performances in them, so mid table would be about right, some people on here getting their knickers in a twist over nowt. we are a mediocre, lets hope we don't get a big point deduction. This is probably about right. Think we are around the 10th-12th mark again. We didn't play all that bad tonight, but we never really look like actually scoring. Inevitably, we then make a daft mistake and get punished. Dawson won't have many quieter nights than that. Thankfully, Harris (who I thought was woeful for the most part) comes up with a very good goal and we should have won it at the death...but then that is how luck is going at the moment. Without more of a cutting edge, I can't see us challenging properly for the top 6. Monk has got to find some goals from somewhere. For starters, he needs to sack off Reach. He has been nothing short of woeful this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After laughably persisting trying for 80 minutes to get a pinpoint ball Onto Fletchers head. Bringing Nando on gave us more threat through their back line rather than over it.. there is little point getting to the byline and crossing if you only have Fletcher surrounded by 5 players to aim at. Iorfa was the only one looking to run straight at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s6 owl Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Is it bad that I don't even know who we are playing Saturday but I know exactly how the game will go? I'm just totally losing interest with Wednesday and Football at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Farrell Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I've said it once, and I'll say it again. It's a disgrace that a toothless Championship side with ambitions of promotion isn't starting FF. Disgusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Agree about Reach, don't like to slate a player but he was awful. He's been better from the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Down South Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I thought Wednesday looked bereft of confidence and once that mood takes hold it really can result in a downward spiral - I’m sure EFL uncertainties haven’t helped. Maybe Forestieri can help bring the spark that’s so badly needed, but as things stand I’m simply hoping to avoid points deduction / relegation. On the plus side I thought Luongo did ok, Forestieri did enough to deserve a start, Fox had a decent game (apart from goal) and Iorfa was outstanding.

S36 OWL Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 could be worse, we could have spunked tens of millions of pounds on players and be in the same league position as when Stuart Gray left four years ago. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start asking questions when he's has a couple of windows to build a team. What do you expect, Monk is working with players who have come up short many times before?

Monk needs to be getting the best out of what he has to work with imo and I don’t think he is getting that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been nothing short of woeful this season. When Reach first came to us I (often) criticised him, I thought he should be better, just the cost alone, a lot on here said we were playing him out of position and we would benefit once he was moved, so he moved and moved and moved, and never made a position his, his wonder goals have hidden the truth, he's not that good, but some on here still give him the benefit of doubt, hopefully Monk can get fresh legs in, with a bit of passion.

SquirrelSlingshot Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I know we've only taken two points from the last three games, but honestly I think our performances have generally been okay and we've not been outplayed in any of these games. We've certainly played far worse this season and managed to win when we maybe didn't deserve it (home game against Wigan springs to mind, Stoke and Luton weren't much better either) The only thing I will say is that using Fletcher as a lone striker in a home game against Birmingham is far too negative. In games such as this we also need to be starting Forestieri or Nuhiu alongside him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not forgetting selling the ground in a dodgy transaction that may see us relegated once the points deduction kicks in. Merry Christmas mate.
