Dull, lifeless..

Pretty nondescript first half good when moved into the correct position.

 

Not one of the teams we have played this season finished above us last season

 

I’d say that’s a pretty good counter argument.

 

$hite...... Only one way we're going with this manager. The players are going backwards.

 

As we know, teams do differ from last season.

Look at Swansea. Look at us.

Edit: and there is currently one team still in the division who finished above us. So it's logically flawed too.

 

So basically you had made your mind up before a ball has been kicked , so no amount of debate is going to alter your thought , well thats fine but at least some consideration for the fact we are missing an awful lot of our squad with injuries, illness, red tape & suspensions & these should be taken into account , I for one have my doubts about Schopp but I do have the good grace to allow him time & hopefully a better squad to choose from & what ever happens I will not be jumping on here at the first opportunity shouting " I told you so " like some wonderful 21st century prophet .

 

After the excitement of Wednesaday today did feel flat but the second half we were much better, just the usual problem with finishing. I thought we were ok, a bit concerned to see Morris walking around the perimeter with that brave still on, looks like we may have to wait longer than I'd hoped to get him back into the team.

 

So i was right then. Glad you agree

 

Haha - done me on a technicality mate! And we're above them!

 

have we played that one team yet?

 

I thought he played well today too.

 

I don't think that statement is actually based on fact.

 

I thought we looked ok, without being especially good. Should’ve won the game.

No problem with brittain in midfield, thought him and Gomes were decent enough, Gomes was unlucky at times before being taken off, played the ball to Woodrows feet, but woodrow ran away from the space a couple of times. Victor was a whisker away from putting Heliks header in (I was in the away end and had a decent view of it).

But ultimately, I’m now fairly certain we’ll be in a relegation scrap. Who’s going to score the goals to turn these draws into wins?

 

Dominated. You watch a different game to me. We tap it around at the back. Wait for all their defence to get back into position. The opposition narrows the space so someone launches it hopefully up front. Woodrow who moved 5 minutes earlier is now isolated.

movement needs to be better. Transition from defence to attack much quicker.

it was a terrible game. Probably 2/10. Luckily they were as bad as us.

It’s early days and only after Christmas will the league take shape. At the minute we look porous at the back and incapable of scoring. At the minute it’s fair to say we have taken a massive step backwards. But there’s plenty of time to go. Don’t think pretending we are playing like the 1970s Dutch team in midfield helps anyone.

Main plus point was Brittain playing in his correct position and the new lad who was great second half. .

 

Definitely you were at a different oakwell to me. Dreadful game. 2 awful teams. Plenty of time to improve.

 

it's not a case of accepting it or not, but not going down the route of being overly dramatic. We were right in defence, we created chances but we tailed to take them. I just happen to think we will win games, we just need a little patience. Btw, the mighty WAS have had the same points as us in their games this week!

 

Well I thought we played well, contained them to 3 attempts on goal & if we were clinical then job done. Dull & lifeless? Not having it, I thought it was a great game & I could quote probably 100's of games that have been far. far worse.
