La Plage Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 1 minute ago, Jerseybean said: Very frustrating game and performance from our perspective. They certainly deserved the win. We had just 4 shots with 2 on target, while they had 20 with 8 on target. We never got hold of the ball and throughout had no response to their high press and physical dominance. Lots of frustration and lots of learning. Why are we still learning? That was always the excuse under LJ, why didn’t we get experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many dire games against teams like Ipswich where the two of them had clearly burned out but LJ never freshened up these key areas when it was obvious he should have.

We played into their hands. Forwards CONSTANTLY giving away silly free kicks. Midfielders chasing shadows and only going backwards. No excuses. And all I heard from Gilmartin on commentary was excuse excuse excuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Dean will be honest and tell it like it is in his post match interview, well although he is more honest and talks less BS than his predecessor, he is still delivering the same mediocre Shit!!! Will he? His usual line is "not up to the standard we expect". Not really brutally honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack Bladder Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 The thing is even though I am a season ticket holder, I'm not actually missing the football I've even stopped buying the game to watch now Sounds like I didn't miss much.

Rather simplistic that, Mr P. Forest had problems already that we didn't have. The simple fact is that we don't know how Hughton or anyone else would have done. However it appears Pau Warne can get a team with under half our budget to dominate us. I agree with @2015 that this isn't the worst we've played this season, it is one of the worst games for several seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last promoting from within worked for us was over 30 years ago. Perhaps the use of big name was wrong. I should have said proven track record. Hughton has a proven track record too. Not saying I'd expect him to have Nottingham Forest in playoff contention by now but 13 points from his 14 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loosey Boy Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 That performance is why we will never make the top six......absolutely terrible.

Can we stop praising him for being honest. Surely no one gives a shit. Whether he bullshits us or is honest....unless he is going to start evolving this club on the pitch, he needs to move on . It's all well and good talking a good game in interviews but we are not seeing any progression whatsoever It's not like he has only been in charge for a few months and doesn't know how these players tick.

Not detracting from how rubbish we are, but there's 6 minutes extra time given, there's a substitution and an injury in that time, yet with the clock on 6.08 you hear a loud shout from the Rotherham bench "come on ref" and he blows the final whistle.

1960maaan Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Deserved win. Totally bossed the game and had all the chances. Holden obviously didn't read Fevs prematch. I'm fed up with hearing tired legs. Holden could have rotated easily over the last few games, but no. Difficult with what we have available, but just one or two a game to keep them fresh. Instead the same players flogged week in, week out. Desperately need players to get fit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gert Mare Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Pushed off the ball far too easy. All the good work done against Blackburn pissed up the wall today. Absolutely dreadful.

Red-Robbo Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 We've got a desperately average squad and injuries have given it a distinctly cobbled together look. Never how you'd want it looking that line-up, but there is not much else. I said pre-season mid-table beckons and so it does. Play the youngsters perhaps? If we finish lower than Lee left us then it's massive rethink. Ta-ta Deano. And please Mr Lansdown, get your son and mates to step back and appoint a competent board.

Wigan had a nice mix of physicality and yet at times good possession. I think there were some possible issues with his contract, release clause and general availability but I'd have had Cook certainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh1t_ref_again Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 I can accept loosing and don't like it, but cannot accept when we have been dominated by a bottom of the table team on a bad run. We don't seem to have any pattern to our play, strikers playing as wingers who look lost. We have got away with a few performances this year and been saved by Bentley, but today its caught up with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shameful display. City haven’t played well for a long time now under Holden. We have had some “lucky” results in games IMO, in games we could easily have lost if it wasn’t for Bentley who is player of the season so far for me. Worried as it feels like Johnson Mark 2 to me.
