Tonight's football

[PenlanJack]

Bit of controversy in the barca game, all favouring barca.. a few championship games on tonight, but it won't have an effect on us, because we're a plodding midtable side, unless something drastic happens

Hull are beating that Leicester team 2-0 who battered us

1 win in 6 before tonight. Wonder against who ?

Battered us is a stretch.

Hull needed a 97th minute goal to get a point against us.

What game were you watching then.. it was 3-1.. could've and should've been 5-1

I watched the exact same game as you.

 

[Dr. Winston]

The Leicester game was fairly even stevens, barring a ten minute spell where we got a bit rattled. Some people are oddly insistent on claiming that we were completely outplayed from start to finish.

The match stats simply don't support the idea that we were outplayed. Unlike the Southampton ones, which do.

I don't know, they hit the post twice, we played well for 10 minutes, but we won the possession as Russ would say

It's getting ridiculous all this bashing of the team and failing to acknowledge when we've done ok.

Over the last few years games against the likes of Leicester and Southampton would be a question of how how many we'd concide.

These days we're competitive and it's not good enough for some.

We've not been great to watch. That much is obvious. Along with many others, I'd also suggest that the squad is not playing anywhere near as well as it is capable of.

However, there is a definite urge from some quarters, maybe from those who were a bit too fond of the bullshit that Russy and then Williams were selling, to overstate our problems this season. We've not been outclassed in many games.

I'm frustrated with Sheehan. I think he's capable of more but needs to be braver and stop trying to replicate what we already know from harsh experience doesn't work. To succeed in this division we need to be a lot bolder than we have been.

I wonder how our fan base would have reacted if we’d appointed Frank Lampard as manager?

It is odd that some were prepared to give Wuss all the time in the world when we went 20 odd games without a win yet seem to be all over Sheehan after 10 games.

The meltdown would have been quite enjoyable

It is isn't it?
