Loosey Boy Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 2 points out of a possible 15 (soon to be 18 when we lose at Brentford) is just totally unacceptable! Dreadful again today..... When will we learn?? Speaking to some Wednesday fans at Temple Meads - they couldn’t believe how poor we were!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not clinical, we're not creative and we're not intimidating, we're just mediocre with a few flashes of brilliance and that's not enough. I genuinely hope Lee can turn this around and we can be a team to compete for a play off spot but at this point, I think we just need to aim to finish in the top half of the league. Seems like this has been said for a few seasons now and is a recurring theme at least two to three times a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this concerns me too, I mean I thought that a while back it was said "no more jobs for familiar faces" or something to that extent in regards to the club constantly giving jobs to ex players? I'm all for giving someone a promotion if they show more potential than other outside options but let's face it, they generally don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble is that losing the likes of Smith and Kalas, as opposed to fringe players, has a disproportionate impact, as Baker proved today for instance. To be fair....do you think today's result would have been any different with a fit Kalas and Smith? The problem today ...as always....is lack of quality in the final third Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 LJ on RB Thought we played well Blaming the linesman (For the first goal) Laughable Truly laughable No comment about Bakers part Blame the linesman for the result Oh and the fact we are a young side ohhhhhh and it was the third GP game in a week excuses Laughable excuses Laughable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem today ...as always....is lack of quality in the final third I agree re the final third but Kalas is a considerable upgrade on Baker and since LJ clearly doesn't trust Walsh we cannot change the midfield regardless of form. That has a knock effect throughout the team imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really worrying to see the bull excuses starting to come back out - pressure is evidently on again and it seems when that’s the case that he just can’t help but blame everyone but himself. Why can he not just take it and own it himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to develop and he isn't going to do that sat in the reserves here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shades of Cotts' latter days when after every defeat he would insist all was well and we would win the next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redrascal2 Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 What surprises me is that so many seem to think we are a mid table team. But with performances like today and at Wigan, I struggle to see how we will achieve that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we likely to have a run like that with the squad we now have? I very much doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
