Just got back from watching yet another uninspired performance, can’t argue with the increased effort levels but footballing quality is a flat line….Albion fans summed us up with their chant….how shit must you be we’re winning away, no need to add anything else.
I disagree, I thought we played some good stuff today.
 
Great Post. And yes I'm not starting an Indy debate. As I like what they say. But in my mind this is bit unfair on Yalcouye. It was bad. But not sure it helps to single someone. Opinion only I suppose.

I don't think they are singling out Yalcouye in the article. The picture is of Yalcouye but using his frustration in the picture rather than singling him out.
 
Absolute nonsense about VIP, I was there and the guy run his guts out, it’s not his game and I felt sorry for him today, could have done better with the whipped crosses but I get more service on my phone inside the ground than he does.
I was there too, and I agree with you. He ran himself into the ground. His closing down has to be with everyone else to be effective and it is. Widell and Franco also did well.
The problem with people watching on tv is that you don’t see what the camera doesn’t follow.
 
I agree re revenue and from the perspective of the manager and it’s always a shame to get knocked out of any competition.

This season though, I’m not particularly sorry to see us have less games to play. For me, this is the most under threat our position in the Championship has been since relegation, I’d rather us just have one competition to compete in. I am fully aware that I’m in the minority though.
I can completely see your point.

The first 15 minutes saw a high energy press from Widell, Eom, Franco, Stamenic, Ronald and Vipotnik was ambling around.

Sorry, but that’s just my opinion.
 
Agree with this and only the players and management will know the answer to your question. Some players can improve, some just struggle to make the correct decision or remain calm under pressure in actual games.

What is certain though is that we need to look very closely at that aspect when recruiting in the summer. We desperately need a couple of players who make the right pass/cross and finish clinically in the final 3rd.
Agree and I posted earlier that I enjoyed the game.

I'll go a bit further now.

Apart from some money for the club I wasn't bothered about a cup run I want to see steady progress in the league.

In saying all this I'm sure my view would be different if it was a league game as it would have been two points lost.

Still early days but if a couple of loan players go back we do need some loan starters and not as back up.

The tempo we have increased in our games have players visibly struggling mid way in the second half.
We need.players with pace to worry defences who are willing to sit and block

Lost 10 successive away games before today. We are always good at gifting shit teams on a bad run.
 
We all knew Yalcouye would miss his pen.

I'm struggling with him. Obviously has some talent but he doesn't seem to have any intelligence whatsoever. When we came on he was giving those small, short passes that set you up to nip past the opposition player who'll commit to the challenge. Unfortunately he was trying to do this with some players who'd played over 100 minutes of football at that stage. Tymon was understandably annoyed. That's without his silly misses and sending off earlier this season. Another not averse to a dive as well.
