Beauchief Owl Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Well Monk keeps saying it's all about how you react to a defeat, blah, blah, blah. It would be nice for the supporters to be able to react to a win at home for a change. Once in 10 months, an absolute disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bulgaria Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Much better second half, so credit where due but FFS is there a football team on Earth that gives it's fans more pain...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshy Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 As soon as JP came on, the whole attitude of the side altered. We went from giving it a good go and pressing them back to defensive mode. We can't defend a game with 22 mins remaining. It sends out the wrong signals. DB did look knackered, but it was the mentality that was worrying. Clearly the side play to the managers instructions, butI don't think we needed to go all defensive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauchief Owl Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Barbet still my MOM for Wednesday. It's nice to find a scorer that doesn't cost you millions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I don't mind trying to keep it tight, but this is the risk. Monk needs a plan B not regress further when the team nicks a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 4 minutes ago, hugeowl said: Considering what happened with injuries yes We were awful in the first half and the only injury we got then was a young midfielder playing his first proper game at CB had to off, strange he was picked as the best option in that position in the first place. Monk then chose to use his 3rd sub with 25 minutes still to go. Dele-Bashiru may have been tiring but he should be able to play 90 minutes at his age, especially when we have got 2 weeks off now. We had 5 minutes to hold out with 10 men - and failed. Not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eight points at home out of the last 42. Absolute garbage. This is and always was why we're going down this season, even without the points deficit. How many more dropped points will it take?

WalthamOwl Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 So little quality in this team. We simply have to make further signings before the window closes and prey that Brown and Iorfa aren’t out for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cross for their goal came from our right where we didn't get out quick enough. Reach set up our goal when on the left and also forced a good save from the keeper when he was playing on that side of the pitch. Another Monk move that didn't work.

OwlBiSeeinThi Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 To put it in perspective. If we'd started on 0 points we'd now be sitting in twelfth. As an average championship team I'm not quite sure what we are expecting. I reckon we'll be clear of the relegation zone by new year. Surviving has to be the target and I think we'll be safe. Listening to some of these clowns on Praise and grumble is quite entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, reach had an effect, but was struggling with Samuel in the second half when he went wide. Harris nullified that threat and posed his own going forward. If assigning blame (which I'm not) for not closing down their cross, that was Reach's job. Had we had 11 men, I'm sure it would have been dealt with, as would the marking in the middle.

How many last ditch tackles did we have to make before the switch, how many close shots did they have? It didn't need changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
