[Smurph]

Aye, a loss

 

[jack_lord]

What on earth did we bring those subs on for today. There was some good today though poor/unlucky finishing robbed our chances of a good lead. Sorry to any of Abdulai's mates but the lad looks out of his depth at this level. Grimes actually looked threatening going forward a few times but his safe passing was terrible terrible today.

We're looking for a goal scoring forward. A cracker in the stadium today - Giovanni Savarese !!

Stoke were getting the higher ground before the subs, we needed to make subs because we needed freshening up.......the 3 that came on didn't have the presence to do so.

yes we needed freshening up but not for that. Cullen is a menace and causes distraction and was an obvious sub but to bring on the most not threatening subs in the league was a manager error.

Wooden? FFS Pego this ain't the fifties lmao.

Jumpers for goalposts, then.

Don't hold your breath kid, just saying like

That was probably the most mid table match of all time.

Our strikers and wingers are hopeless. We're a half decent side elsewhere in the team - not perfect, but serviceable. Up front though, we just look toothless. I just don't see where the goals are coming from. It's a real problem.

Btw our subs today were shite. Contributed next to nothing. Awful.

Agree with everything there.
Will say though, I’ve got a sneaky feeling that big Vip is a good player, we’re just not getting to see it.
Did anyone who played on the wing or at 10 today, take a man on and drive into the box?
Keeper, 2 CBs, Grimes and Franco were good today.

The point about the wingers and the ten is surely a training ground thing. Wingers normally attack instinctively, ours usually don’t.

Darling, Cabango and Viggy are playing out of their skins. But it isn't sustainable, we will concede goals. Us not scoring enough to win games could absolutely continue indefinitely though unfortunately.

Maybe it’s a case of having to sacrifice a bit of attacking threat in order to shore up at the back. We had a season or so of shipping goals at an alarming rate, so we’ve at least sorted most of that. Perhaps the pendulum has swung too far.

We have attacking threat...

I think it’s the intent that we miss. Too many examples of getting into position and then turning back. See Abdulai.
