DownendRed97 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Can’t remember the last time I was entertained down the gate. At home we should be dominating teams and getting the crowd excited. To be bossed at home to bottom of the league Ipswich is appalling. Obviously still a chance of the playoffs but not if we play like that. Maybe we need 18 days off to rest. Its just dissapointing after how well we were playing.

Cardy Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 We play 4-5-1 at home with a below average Championship centre forward. What do we expect?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below average the bloke has 11 goals, he’s often extremely isolated & puts an absolute shift in most weeks. He’s a decent Championship striker but he needs help. When Semenyo played next to him at Blackburn the difference was crazy, likewise when Taylor is on the pitch he gets more space & causes more problems.

Gilli74 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Other than the goal ... (header by a centre back) not a shot on goal in 90 mins at home to the worst team in the league !!! Just not good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelts Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 The manager has got the team playing with fear . No spark at all . No one wants the ball and when we do have it we just pass sideways like a Danny Wilson side!! One up top against bottom of the league at home . A new low .

BCFC11 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Playing FOUR at the back and a lone striker at home to the leagues bottom side says it all. Especially at this stage of the season we should be attacking from the off, not this 451 LJ persists with, yet when he finally decides to change it and go with 2 up top he takes off the only player who’s going to get a decent cross into the box! Well and truly baffled sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is EXACTLY what needs to happen if we have any expectations of play offs at the end of the season, otherwise its 10th/11th place for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never going to happen under LJ the players know what’s wrong but they can’t change it - so confidence disappears - happening again and again, think Tomlin got the blame last time! It’s history repeating itself - no belief! Players knowing they can do better than those starting not even making the bench is a recipe for disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire Red Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Big games tonight and we aren't at home so what can go wrong? Looking forward to the 6 away but I do have so sympathy for those who haven't been able to get to away games this season. They missed a great season of entertainment and enjoyment.

terpin Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 We've won 7 out of 19 home games this season. In 4 of those 7 we've got the winner in the 81st minute or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglosbcfc Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 You can criticise 4-5-1 or 4-4-1-1 as much as you like but it is the formation that has seen us massively overachieve. Only the most optimistic City fans were predicting we'd be in this position at this stage of the season. Some of the more pessimistic were predicting relegation.
