I get that this young team is naive and new to this league but what I can’t hack is lack of effort and desire. This has been one of the worst performances I’ve seen for a long time
The issue is the lack of presence upfront. Birmingham centre halves must be laughing their heads off facing Chaplin n Bahre. The second issue is the lack of creativity in everyone except Mowatt.
I’ve watched it and we’ve put in plenty of effort. Hindered by a lack of height up front and the ball not sticking up front generally I think, but plenty of effort, pressing and running. Ultimately we were right in the game at 70 minutes, let down by a poor pass from Andersen and a bit of quality for their second, neither really due to ‘lack of effort.’ That’s football though isn’t it, 20,000 different opinions of the same game.
REALLY.... have you watched the game.... no lack of effort at all. But in your case a total lack of knowing what a football game is about. ...be glad when you are back to school.
Fair point. Just pointing out that it’s a mistake which may have gone unpunished in L1 proving the difference initially, but really harsh (and ultimately just wrong) to suggest the players aren’t trying.
Wow, what a childish response and you think my comment warranted that comment? We lost because we didn’t match their effort. Simple as. No need to get personal you massive cretin.
Effort will only get you so far in this league but a lack of quality and creativity will get us relegated let’s be honest other than a five minute spell after half time we just didn’t look like a championship quality team to me and that’s against a side who will struggle to stay out of bottom three.
5 or 6 need dropping but keep getting picked. Plenty of effort but no where near enuff quality. Gunna be a long season, we will get points at home but struggle away. Time for thiam to go, **** it champ last time, decent in league 1 now **** in champ again enuff said.
Definitely didn't lack effort. Quality and experience, yes. But I saw this team keep trying even when the game was over.
If you watched the game closely, Birmingham’s effort is why they won. They were well up for the fight and we’re first to every ball. They threw themselves at everything. I don’t believe they were particularly skilful or showed any moments of quality. They were just up for it more and showed more experience. They pressed better than us and kept forcing us into mistakes and we didn’t match them and that why it was hard to stomach tonight.
