Tony Pulis Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Win - Green Draw - Orange Loss - Red As you can see here, our away form is absolutely diabolical - even against teams near the bottom. Picking up ZERO against Rotherham is just unacceptable and there is simply too much red and orange against sides in the middle of the table. It was not the draw against Derby that sent us down - it was these results over a whole season. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Yep. Going down is never a one match thing. Many many errors have cost us points that would have kept us up. 27 points lost from winning positions. Terrible away form. No points after conceding first. Etc etc. Ultimately we lost because our players were not good enough. Which is because our chairman is not good enough. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_wells Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 That away form is horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Genuinely kind of interesting to see that there are "only" four teams we didn't pick up a point against, with two of them being in the top three. It's the no points against Rotherham and Luton, and as you point out the broadly diabolical away form, that's done it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dare you show your face on here It was my masterstroke signing of Sam Hutchinson that nearly kept you up. And my recall of Westwood.

Humdy Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I thought we went down because the players couldn't care less about winning, as demonstrated by losing to teams like Rotherham and Birmingham at a time when we were fighting for our lives, and losing 3 2 when we were 2 nil up, and losing 7 games on the trot, and previously winning 1 game out of 10, and players like reach heading the ball to the opposition by the box and giving away penalties with 12 minutes to go when you need to win. The list is endless! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then of course the final nail in the coffin being 3-2 up against Derby and not defending that like our lives depended on it. Anyway, next season will be a whole different challenge...

It was not the draw against Derby that sent us down - it was these results over a whole season. Good analysis. Although losing home and away to Rotherham (ffs) and Luton, and generally poor away form matter, personally I think the 6 points our clown of an owner lost us were more important. Closely followed by not paying the players ahead of away games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMOwl72 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 No points off Rotherham or Luton, especially given how some of those games played out have done for us....along with the pts deduction....but basically we were poor across most games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG D Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 The team actually won more points than 3 other teams. No matter what anyone says we weren't the worst team in the league. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad game management in a lot of games. Norwich away last 10 minutes to concede 2 and lose. Rotherham at home. Luton away.

Ellis Rimmer Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 A sliding doors moment for us. I am sure that one little thing would have meant we stay up. if you look at Monks points per game it’s not that bad considering he insisted on playing inferior keepers. Westwood for 1 yr contract to get us out of this mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
