The above goals alone have cost us 11 points and knocked us out of a cup. Edited December 30, 2021 by TBW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 In fairness, we have got four of those back v Hull and QPR. Usually it’s been when we have been hanging on. Thought that was not really the case today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 I honestly wonder if it's the physical side of the game, today we deserved a win easily, by far the better team but when it comes to injury time we don't seem able to hold the ball up in the oppositions half. I can understand we have some lightweight players but Semenyo is a big lad, why isn't he able to switch to the wing position for injury time, get him the ball and have him hold it up. You see it all the time with other teams, they get the ball, they push up and they hold it, we just seem to wilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marmite Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Most of those games we were hanging on and playing poorly . We are now playing better and someone soon is going to get a real pasting from us. Lets look for the positives. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see it all the time with other teams, they get the ball, they push up and they hold it, we just seem to wilt. In my notes, I wrote that Martin looked tired after 74 and Semenyo 76. Semenyo had enough left to get his goal, but i do think we were less able to close down their side CBs. Likewise, Kalas and Pring started no,bing as their forwards tired too. 41 minutes ago, RUSSEL85 said: Joint 5th without those late goals. Minus 3 for the 2pts gained at QPR and 1pt at Hull.

Alex_BCFC Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Thing is that even if we could hang on, we wouldn’t be top 6. We’d have thrown it away elsewhere because for 90% of this season we’ve looked poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Two v Blackburn gained, as well as the aforementioned at QPR and Hull- that's 5 points for... Unsure how many- if any- we have scored in first half injury time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Geoff Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Perhaps we need to improve our sh**housery and use of the 'dark arts' in the last few minutes to see games out. We are still too nice when it matters most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are still too nice when it matters most. We don`t seem to have anyone to do that this season - I thought we were getting there with the likes of Jack Hunt and Bakes but we`ve gone soft again. We need a couple of players who don`t give opponents an easy ride - TBF, George Tanner looks like he might be one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the right thing in taking short free kicks and throw-ins in the corner, Pring headed there on the counter…but ultimately on the last occasion let them get out too easily.

Didn't attend yesterdays game so can't comment on the goal, Dave. I was at Heathrow waiting for my suitcase and getting updates on OTIB matchday thread. I meant in general though when we are holding a lead going into the last 5 minutes or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
