Result was disappointing but a draw was about right. We let them off the hook in the 15 minutes after we scored. We had the chances and at that time to bury them as they were all over the place but we never took the chance. After the break they managed to reorganise themselves and did put us under a bit of pressure. Their goal was route 1 stuff. That shot could have gone anywhere. The big plus for me was Paddy's display. He was excellent and will prove to be our secret weapon in games to come. Flicker really does have to take a good look at our back 4. Allowing the ball to be played passed them far too easily.
Is it the back four or are teams getting balls into the box to easy? We're not stopping balls coming into the box well enough and then struggle to break out quick enough to relieve the pressure or cause any of our own.
Good point Selby. I didn't want to mention names but to me the biggest culprit was Kennedy. Of course if the guys infront of him are not doing their job then that makes his job even harder. Over to you Flicker.
is it the payers doing what they want or is it the players doing what the manager tells them to do, either way it aint working
We conceded because we leave nobody up front when we defend a corner, we don't have a out ball. , and the ball comes straight back
Did anyone notice when wiseman won us a corner but clearly hurt his foot while doing it. Well what happens after is crazy we left one defender back and who was it ? Wiseman ! He was clearly limping ! It's **** like that that gets me wound up! Why Didn't he open his mouth and tell someone else to drop in. The lad played well and has all season, it's just another little annoyance with us right now
I just think we look a bit disjointed going forward and get caught square at the back. We have improved since fox has come into the middle. The more I think about today the less frustrated I get. We did enough to be out of sight at half time then struggled against the long ball upto a giant in the second half. Ipswich will be a different game all together and I'm confident we can get something........
I'm quite happy with how we have improved/zipper formed since the Reading game. What frustrates me is that, today, we should have killed,the game off in first half, against a very average Owls team. Unfortunately, we have a mentality of defending in the 2nd half......and it hurts us.
We played well for 60 minutes and they wasn't in game upto then, we needed the second goal to kill them off, as our defence don't look like keeping a clean sheet at the moment
