The Dukeries Owl Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 It's the Wednesday way, get into a situation where a win would really put us in a good position and feck it up. It's been happening forever! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their approach works at this level but not in the championship. 100% this. Getting out of this division and staying in the next one are two different things. Rotherham are excellent and playing to their strengths but the number of mistakes they made would see them punished in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOT jack whitham Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Go ahead and slate me as much as you like but Paterson is total f@cking garbage, how the hell did he ever make it as a footballer and we have him up front as a striker today, seen some real bad players since 1965 but he has to be close to the top of the list. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrs Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Can’t fault the team today really. Played with energy tempo and decent quality throughout, generally looked far superior than the runaway leaders, but the lack of a recognised striker was the difference. Their first choice front two played (and scored), ours were sat injured in the stand. Reverse that situation and we win, no question in my mind. Keep playing like that and we’ll definitely be in the play-off mix but unless Gregory and/or Windass return soon we may have a few more days like today to suffer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensible Soccer Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 The point that summed up our lack of quality but loads of hard work. paterson wins the balls high up the field. Player unmarked in the middle but final ball too late and not good enough. we will see wether hard work alone will get us across the finish line 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give your bloody head a wobble and stop being dramatic. I agree with him if you take the wider picture into account. We are 8th in the 3rd division, a mess off the pitch, and not much better on the pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell you what though, both those sides would get torn a new one in the Champ. To be fair they are the standard yo yo club, they'll only get relegated again next season. Happens everytime. I have to say, if that's the quality of the league leaders, then we shouldn't be fearing any team in this league. They were poor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Berahino must be really rubbish in training if he can't get a game - really disappointing that we have no options up front - it could be the difference this season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prendo's boots Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Need to be clinical in front of goal (whoever it is up top) to give us a chance until Gregory or Windass teturn.. Yeah I'm staying the obvious!! We played well today but our shocking defending at set prices let us down yet again...we'll need to be patient on Weds night as Stanley will put ten men behind the ball...need someone to provide that vital finish tho...

Is every goal conceded from a set piece a defensive error. Or is it sometimes just good offensive play? Not blaming the ref btw just a discussion point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc_Degryse Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Bit of a reality check today, there's a reason why Rovram are top of the league and we're scrapping it out for a play off spot. We played well but lacked a cutting edge up front, they dug in and ground out a result and that's a hallmark of teams that get automatic promotion. With Windass and/or Gregory might've been a different outcome. Couldn't argue with ******** Wood being Motm, good solid performance from them. We go again on Wednesday. UTO! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A47Owl Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 So lacking in a proper goal scorer on the pitch today. One that gets in the right place for crosses. Then our wide players can cross instead of trying to score themselves as they know there is nobody in the middle capable of putting the ball in the net. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elyowl1 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Keep playing like we did we will win more than we lose, Rotherham looked poor today and certainly not as good as Wigan. Desperately need a centre forward on the pitch though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beighton Owl 87 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I thought we had the better players than them apart from up front. Apart from the two goals what other chances did they have? Both Paterson and Mendez-Laing should have put theirs away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why DM should have started with Kamberi and Laing up top and run at him,hassle him close him down quick. Patterson was just perfect for Wood ,CB's love a static battle In air and push n shove roll on floor contest.. Wrong move DM and subs way to late... All our forwards are very poor/average at best bar Windass that needed to be addressed in Jan and wasn't really DM brought a youth player in instead.. That imo will be difference between top 6 or top 10... Hope I'm wrong... We did play well today.Unlucky... UTO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only seen it a couple of times, but judging where BPF’s feet were and his body shape when he caught it, it certainly didn’t look like the entire ball could possibly have crossed the line unless it swung a long way in the air (and it didn’t look like that had happened). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 When you miss as many chances as we did today, then it was always inevitable that we’d get a sucker punch against one of the divisions most effective sides With 2 strikers instead of a winger and a right back it’s a different game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
