cityexile Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 An oncoming train? Always easy to make excuses after any one result. Not surprised we lost today. They benefited from having had the weekend off and were frankly a better side anyway. The manner of it was gutting however. LJ still looking like he is guessing his best team/formation, every game.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted January 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 What I see at the end of the tunnel is at 2-0 I suspect more than a few still feared that we would not hold on, after their 1st goal that percentage rose to an incredibly high amount and at 2-2 an overwhelming majority of fans feared the worst, what I see is an overwhelmingly inevitability to our games recently and I also see our midfield at the end of the tunnel chasing shadows, slowly.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted January 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 We are now 3 points off of a relegation spot and any honeymoon/settling in period that any new signings (if they do materialise) might expect is well and truly gone.

That excuse is wearing thin though, we've heard it since the beginning of October and yet it is still happening with a predictable inevitability and that screams huge problem and not light at the end of the tunnel.

TrowVegasCidered Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Are they talking about the new tunnel in the lansdown, will that be open soon, is that the light?

shelts Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 I think it's terrible that the players can't take responsibility. How many times have they let us down with minutes to go? Time for them to step up to the mark and not let our manager take all the stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you call that 80 mins a perfect performance , you know absolutely nothing about football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on your definition of "all over us". It might not be what we're used to seeing as the home team, but in our situation / form, an expansive game would've got us picked off. Just like first half they played the ball side to side in from of our back 10. It was working pretty well, they weren't getting any decent service into Kermogant, their wide players were crossing from deep. The first goal started to show those spaces down the sides starting to open up. The sub of Wilbs, should of as a minimum maintained the 4141, with Tammy being sacrificed to go wide left. Not ideal, but would've kept the shape, and for me most importantly kept Brownhill and Bryan (who'd been excellent up to then) as the screens either side of Korey, but also those little pockets in front of Flint and Little on Brownhill's side and Matthews and Golbourne on Bryan's side. 5 strung across became 4, and more and more gaps were created. I'd have rather seen us go 460 than 442. Reading didn't change the way they played, so why did LJ change our formation....they created very few chances up to then. At least make them try something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
