Monk is to blame to a point but the amount of soft fouls and needless corners we gave away to a big side was crazy. End of the day we are a mid-table side that can sometimes engage top 6 mode for a bit. These aren't Monk's players either we can't forget. Agree 100%.Mid Table is where we'll finish unless we start shipping out the deadwood in Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went for a point against the bottom club, giving them a boost, and that performance got everything it deserved. Not exactly what you asked for, but it'll give you an idea... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop off deep, give away stupid freekicks, corners and so on. The pressure build ups and up, but so much of it is our own doing. It’s like we almost want to invite it on, we don’t show any urgency to close down quicker, or get into position quicker. When we clear our lines absolutely no one pushes forward, it literally is stuff beyond belief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet, despite this, we persist in trying to grind it out. What did Einstein say about doing the same thing over and over again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Horse Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 It's actually a good thing. We always mess up at Xmas in promotion seasons. I, erm... Think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real frustrating thing is we don't do this to other teams. Like the so-called soft penalty we got v Bristol City , it's an absolute rarity yet our fans were saying we were lucky. If we got a soft penalty every other game and scored a winner in injury time every three games it wouldn't even out . I'm so annoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 The squad needs a a bit of an overall, there are plays still here form the Milan era. We need to tie down Dawson to a long term deal and look to move on the dead wood. Lots of big contracts are up this summer and Monk will have the chance to put his stamp on things.

However, the performance deserved nothing and a message to GM ... Keep starting this front 2 and look forward to mid table. They are as mobile as bedroom furniture. Agree with this Nuhiu and Rhodes don’t work at all. A striker on loan is a must next month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iorfa has looked immense at centre half at times. But he’s also showed complacency far too often this season. Borner and Lees for me at the back, with Iorfa right back.

I doubt they’ll be getting Xmas day off next year I'm hope that today's front two wont be Wednesday players come the end of next May. I suspect Monk knows they aren't good enough to keep us challenging in the top half and will instruct the chairman accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptheowls Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Cardiff next and they usually come with a high level of shithousery. We need to sort it out fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hack-Abusi Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Bottled it at the end then. Was clear we Iorfa needed subbing sooner and I wouldn't have taken both Rhodes and Nuhiu off .. needed one of them on and also Murphy - absolutely garbage. Awful commitment for the 2nd equaliser. No attempt to even defend that ball. Criminal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d think someone have a word with Bannan and say stop giving away Soft free kicks, it’s not like he has to defend them. Giving away soft free kicks seems to be a bad habit we haven't learned from. This will suit Cardiff down to the ground, get it sorted before Sunday, Gary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifty Powers Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Gutless. No matter what level you play at, even if it’s Sunday league, you don’t lose a game by conceding two goals in injury time. It really is quite a worrying habit we’ve got ourselves into.

Taximark Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) Im going to put 20 quid on Cardiff to score after 90 minutes, feeling a bit skint. On the brightside we still might win 2-1 Edited December 27, 2019 by TaxiMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouncing Owl Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Just looked back at the seasons results, if all the games finished on 86 mins, we would be top - 2 points above Leeds. We deserved nothing yesterday but we have thrown some points away this season. There is a problem here - our inability to see games out is very concerning. Overall, I’m very happy with how things are going and Monk is doing a great job but this issue needs sorting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
