Are we struggling at home? Didn't think we were poor today. We weren't excellent, either. It just looks very laboured at times. Agree with the point in another thread that Collins doesn't know his best 11. Needs to find it fast.
Don't think Collins knows what he does want only play like crabs, sideways. Have been really unsure about him since he came but today made my mind up. He hasn't got a clue
Unfortunately we don’t have a player who can produce a bit of magic. All very competent but also very predictable. And a mixture of sloppy defending, poor finishing and the EFL rule that under no circumstances can we be awarded a penalty, conspired to allow a very average Blackpool side to take the points.
I agree, Was Phillips injured? Seemed strange to leave him out of the match day squad. Also Russell getting dropped was strange too.
I thought we deserved summat from that game. One or 2 decisions I wasn't sure about. But we can't keep missing chances like we did. (Although only 2/3) At least make the goalie work. I too, am not sure of the best 11.
Agreed we don’t seem to have a player who can break the lines and get the opposition running scared everything is a bit slow and predictable.
Couldn’t agree more, we had 2 or 3 decent chances towards the end that just needed a bit of composure. It was almost one- traffic that 2nd half. I don’t think Cole and McAtee up top works at all.
Actually, and I’m surprised by this, Cole does look a cut above. Notwithstanding his miss in the first half, I thought he looked a threat, but having to create and finish is a tall order.
We persevere with Kane, I don't know how many times he's turned out for us but, I can count on one hand where he's had any positive impact on a game.
Your opinion. As for mine, I think you are utterly wrong. I’m sure you’ll respect mine as much as I respect yours
He's got to start playing Cosgrove alongside Cole from the start. The best forward except Cole so far has been Aiden Marsh so it's baffling to see him go on loan to York where he's not getting much game time. McAtee should be played as an attacking midfielder behind the two forwards, though I'd rather see Styles start there, with Russell and Phillips as the central midfield pair. Cadden and O'Keeffe to start as well. The simple fact is we need to get our best players on the pitch.
I don’t think it’s anything to do with been at home or away I just think we’ve played tougher sides at home than we have away.
Oakwell is a tough place to come, usually. Teams will come for a point and defend in numbers so our attacking prowess is then nullified from the start. We need to attack from kick off and lay the law down that if that's what they want to do all afternoon - defend - then that's what they'll have to do! Our keeper shouldn't have to work
