Power...power can be overrated in football IMO. Bullied? Quite possibly. Let's not overlook though, WBA's 3rd and 4th...were offside! Offside. Not saying we merited anything from the game. Sheffield Wednesday's penalty- pretty soft to me- again, fair result but it evens out apparently. Must have a very good 2nd half of the season upcoming- dodgy penalties, offside goals- remember Preston away! Yep, we are going to get a lot of rub of the green here?

I'd debate whether it was as blatant as some of the other calls. Is that 3-1 or 4-1 we make it? Happy to watch these decisions again though and change view if necessary!

We had the power conversation before , so I will overlook it. Suffice to say we were bullied yet the puck again. but the not getting the rub of the green thing can get really old. Perhaps we should do some stuff in training that might win us a bit more of the green rubs. The more you know the luckier you get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, that day was interesting. Going back and looking in depth- it depends what we define as great. We dominated in terms of the chances and to be fair we were entertaining. Actually regardless of the officials we probably should've won by a couple, such was our dominance in terms of chances created and good ones at that! The ball though? Nope. We had 35-40%- now maybe possession is overrated but we've had some notable deficiencies in our play this year even when results were good- we've not had enough of the ball, for most of the season.

I understand what you're saying but I certainly don't think it has evened out, numerically or points wise. We can go back to Aston Villa away perhaps and work from there. Yeah, performances improving mean we're less reliant on luck, I see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally sensible if he uses him. Rodri will be leaving the club in 3 weeks, odd choice having him on the bench over Szmodics. Adelukan gotta be one of the biggest waste of time signings in recent memory, still has 2 years left on his deal too I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly right. It also didn't make sense to buy both Nagy and Massengo when we had Smith coming back (plus Walsh and Morrell expecting opportunity). And actually, we really needed a big, tall enforcer in CDM, not more average height/small build types. And really, instead of Rowe, why not an actual left back?! Williams was an excellent short term deal, but we really need to off loads some CBs now. My point...the recruitment was great in terms of quality and value, but way off the mark in terms of squad balance, and it shows with all the mad line ups we're seeing. Perhaps this is Johnson's final excuse...Ashton hasn't given him the balance he needs. Hence, multiple sales needed, and new options up front.

I really think we have a few we will struggle to shift. Unless we're creative with it, that is- part payment of wages, or loan fee and cover some wages, or maybe I dunno going out and actively offering fringe players to clubs, loan with option to buy etc. Without that, I worry about the squad size a bit. Certainly when it comes to bringing in one, or at max, two more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
