92nd minute of a **** or bust game. We know we need wins, we know we can't win away, and we're 0-0 in the 92nd minute. And every single man goes back to 'defend' the corner, utterly guaranteeing the opposition that we're not going to attack them again. If they'd left 3-4 men on the half way line, chances are there'd have been no Bournemouth players in the box. I wasn't even surprised - this team is utterly devoid of any kind of urgency. For the last 10 minutes of this **** or bust game we failed time and again to put a ball into the box, even when on one occasion both of our centre forwards were unmarked at the back post. I'm going to sound a right idiot here, but as they got that last minute corner, the thought crossed my mind that they may as well score and extinguish the last embers of hope that remain in our season. I didn't mean it of course - I wanted a fluke of a ricochet to set us on the counter and for us to grab a winner - but the thought crossed my mind. And so it happened. And you know what, it didn't hurt. We deserved it today, and we deserve what we've got all season. I've never seen a team with so many poor, poor players playing at the bottom of their game as we've endured this year.
Absolutely agree with every word. Fast forward to next August please, worst season since Spackman & Parkin destroyed us.
Absolutely spot on mate, completely agree. I just hope Danny is here next season to be part of the rebuilding process. There would be nothing worse than seeing the younger generation of supporters remember Danny for what is happening this season. He is worth far more to the club than that.
Plus from where I was it seemed as though Steele was taking on about 4 of their players while the rest of our team just looked on! Not hard to see where the desire to win was vested.
I thought the short corner we worked just prior to that was better. Jennings rolls it to Woods, Woods scuffs it behind for a goal kick. Incredible.
Can anyone tell me what formation if any we are supposed to be playing. Wilson always advocated good football teams. I wish he would change our team to playing football not kick anywhere or long punts. Lets finish the season playing an attacking game
