Beni71 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I know the LJ out crew are keen to hound out him out but some perspective. Totally agree on some strange tactical decisions throughout the season but continued missed chances cost us dear. A few examples - Tomlin penalty away at Wednesday - Abraham home to Brentford - Abraham home to Wednesday - Taylor away to Deby These were clear goal scoring opportunities. Yes blame the manager for strange substitutions, home to Cardiff etc but he's not on the pitch in those situations and the players need to take responsibility. But anyway please carry on with your intelligent "LJ out" (win, lose or draw). We are such a fickle bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploppy Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 To be fair today's was an absolute sitter which would have likely killed a game at 4 1.

Globe Trotter Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 The strikers took 3 chances that were created today; on any day a striker and team would be happy with that return. Tammy one of the top scorers in the league. I don't think missing chances is our problem; failing to defend leads, poor defending, lack of confidence and a consistently changing starting eleven are more an issue in my opinion.

Well there seem to be enough studious posters critiquing every little thing about the games, so maybe they could list these sitters the opposition has missed. I think @Beni71 has missed a few others as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmNick Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 So is your argument that if we scored every chance we created we'd be doing better? I don't really get the point of this thread. As someone else said, does that not go for every team in the league? We've also had a few instances of good luck, that's just football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Exile Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 The OP rather undermines his plea for an intelligent discussion with his opening characterisation of Lee Johnson's critics and his closing comment on the fickleness of such folk. An intelligent response is, I'd have thought, to observe that such things even out across a season. I was at Wednesday...did the Tomlin pen miss cost us?...indeed it did, as did GO'N's sending off and our late capitulation...then again we got luckier against Wigan on day one and at Burton.

Of course strikers miss chances, but this was as big a game changer as I've seen since the pat Scottish striker we had once missed at Swindon a few years back. It looked so easy it was harder to miss. And it came just when they'd pulled one back and we needed to steady our nerves and take the little bit of wind they'd got back in their sails. I'd have put my house on us winning if that had gone in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 3 goals away from home are more than enough to win. Talking about additional missed chances is a bit daft for me. It's the mind set that cost us in the 2nd half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...it cost us today; that's part of the OPs point. By all accounts he missed a sitter. Haven't seen it but a number have commented (including the OP) that Taylor put it over the bar from a yard out with the goal at his mercy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the game today. Three up at half time, away from home. 45 mins to see the game out for three valuable points. Can't blame missed chances.
