Steve Down South Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 55 minutes ago, northeastowl said: It was a 6 pointer, it ain’t going to be pretty. We gave it a good go and were the better team until the red card. The clubs a mess, yes, but today’s result/performance isn’t the end of the world. I agree with some of this, just not the bits about giving it a good go and being the better team until the red card. We were terrible from start to finish in keeping with most performances this season and are absolute certainties to go down. Things are so bad that I’m pretty sure the EFL could give us the other 6 points back and we would still go down. I don’t think tonight has seen an overreaction at all, just disappointment and frustration from people who care about how far the club has fallen. Things will get worse (probably starting at Brentford on Wednesday night) and one of the saddest things will be when defeats like today get no reaction at all because people have lost belief or just can’t be bothered any more. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were just ok for the 15/20 minutes and then we were terrible prior and after the sending off. It was a big game against a relegation rival and we failed to turn up. Tactics and shape was poor and we messed it up. We aren’t down but we’ve made things much more difficult now which is disappointing. Good point, we had the 1st twenty, then Brum dominated the rest of the 1st half. A few 'we would have won with eleven' comments don't reflect what was happening on the pitch, prior to the sending off. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with this I was watching head tennis in the centre circle for hours at a time and then when we did get the ball on the ground we booted it so far up the pitch it went to their keeper or out for a goal kick Was a terrible performance Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No longer any point in being apoplectic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To look at the table, matches to be played 16, points to be won 48, and to realise we could easily avoid relegation ! Hopefully Thompson will grasp that Rhodes should be on the pitch then we might score another goal some time soon! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevdi9 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 our team evolves around hasbeen's and wannabees, add to that a chairman who knows nothing football wise , a manager who is way out of his depth players that can't even take corners that work , and the best striker we have sitting on the bench ,Is it any wonder we are where we are , If we do stay up it will be a damn miracle of siesmic proportions ,But if somehow we do then root and branch change is needed ASAP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodgybysea Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Well I hope Lee Mason is proud of himself,they just went through the bookings on Quest and Mason hasn't covered himself in glory. Having said that he showed himself to be a prat on a number of occasions this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I don't think we would have lost with 11 Vs 11. Silly tackle to make when already booked which could cost us massively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong the performance wasn’t brilliant and the tactics weren’t great however we were never in danger of losing that until the red card. Had Shaw not been sent off I’m pretty confident we would have gone on to win that. Yes DC hasn’t got a clue what he’s doing and has caused all this mess however if we’d have won that 1-0 today then this overreaction wouldn’t be happening. I’m still confident we will stay up. Birmingham were bottom of the form table...had we beat them we would have been 3 points with a game in hand with a better goal difference. Stoke won today again ...we set them up mid week too, now watch Bham have a new lease of life, and watch us get hammered at Brentford who have just lost 3 on the bounce. Yeah today was a massive day, game and we fùcked up - we will probably go down. To come on here and start a thread about other fans overreacting though? Don't think its needed tbh. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensible Soccer Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I’m usually one to be frowning at the over reaction camp. However tonight was not good at all. Stoke and Birmingham were teams that were on shocking runs and we have just turned round their seasons for them with 2 very uninspiring performances i Worry for our status in the league not for the talent we have (I believe we have just about enough) but the manner it is applied on the pitch. I’m also even more disenfranchised with the loss of shaw to Celtic for next to nowt regardless of his stupidity tonight. we are in a right mess on and off the pitch and my worry is that it is going to get worse before it gets better. I’ll slap my tin hat on and head back to my beer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHERSTATE Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I've had enough and i'm weary of it It's been like punching yourself in the face and hoping for a bit of respite since the 150 celebrations and the fr@ggin cakeball nonsense..Bright spots bring a flash of hope but thats quickly messed up. Dc literally lacks any sense with regards to football , fans, turnover, prudence, revnue, wages, contracts, goodwill, expense, respect, communication, listening and mutual planning. Its just hopeless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legendaryswan Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Yeah its a big over reaction, weve just played two teams neither of whom had won a game for 11 games, lost them both 0-1 and had 5 shots on target in 180 minutes plus stoppage time. Nope wel be fine,obviously staying up,bang in form and purring like a lamborghini 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
