Still so mad at Pack for that stupid cruyff turn instead of clearing it. Draw from that game and pretty sure we wouldn’t be on this run now. Quote Link to comment
Dan Robin Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) I'd have been happy with a draw, but playing against Man City probably drained a lot of energies, and right now our reserves don't have the same impact on matches as the regulars (except the news signings, who are not judgeable yet). Now Derby game becomes even more important: let's hope to have at least one injuried player back (Famara?). Edited January 13, 2018 by Dan Robin Quote Link to comment

BCFC_Mike Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Three straight league defeats now, you see this plenty when teams are involved in a cup run - That was always going to be a sacrifice on the legs and momentum itself in the league. Get this 2nd leg against Man City out the way, couple more new faces and hopefully we can find our legs again! Quote Link to comment

With Derby and Man City up next would be favoriates to lose seven on the bounce, which feels a bit odd really. Easy in hindsight, but given everyone being 100% would have started with the same 11 and bought on Kent and/or Walsh if things were going ok. We just sounded a bit disjointed. Disappointing, need to get back to some league form. Thin lines went against us today. Quote Link to comment
Kingswoodactor Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Just give Preston whatever they want for Hugill. He'd have made the difference today. Well, he would have had our crossing not been so crap. 2 Quote Link to comment

The exsisting players won’t care if they are discernibly better than them. They will if it’s just more competition or superstar kids who have done nothing eg Angel Gomez, Axel Tuanzebe. John Walters etc is what we need. Edited January 13, 2018 by JackIKnowski 1 Quote Link to comment
Lorenzos Only Goal Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 I think this form is going to drag on until mid Feb tbh, our injured players will take a while to get back into the groove, but lets hope for a strong finish to the season. Quote Link to comment
samo II Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Gutting - not what we needed at all would have even taken a draw after what was a draining game on Tuesday, but that is frustrating. Think we need more options up front and quick; waiting for injured players to return and relying on a Bobby when others are misfiring is blunting our edge. Be good to see a fresh face up top ASAP so we avoid drifting out of contention. Derby is going to be very tough. Quote Link to comment

I think the whole team was knackered, that’s why using only one sub in Manchester was a strange decision imo. Coaches are very clever in this league, they are now well aware of how we play, and will set up to stop us in the first instance. We need a physical presence up top in some of these games, because Bobby Reid for all his skill and energy just can’t cope with the physical side and still create. The sooner our injured forwards get fit the better. The players have been fantastic, but the same ones can’t be expected to do it every game. 2 Quote Link to comment

Plus, if you were the Norwich manager you would stick a physical presence up against Bobby Reid, we are in need of getting our injured players back very quickly. No it doesn't. Didn't Bradford have superb cup run and get promoted. ? I understand your logic though . I think the cup run has been good for us . We need a bit of a break which we're not getting at the moment. As for Norwich they looked good and if they had a forward we would have lost 3 or 4 nil . Very disappointed by the result but we have played some neat football just lacked a bit of quality in the final third . Again . Perhaps we do need another striker . 1 Quote Link to comment

intercity Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Whatever the question is, Flint up top is not the answer. Disappointed today; we had the possession, made the running, but werent able to open Norwich up. They came with a game plan and it worked well. As was previousy mentioned, the new boys havent been playing and didnt really help the cause today. Pity as we dont have many options at the moment. Striker to come in? Quote Link to comment

All down to LJ playing Walsh in the no.10 role, instead of Pato who was then ineffective on LHS of midfield. We would have done much better with same starting line-up as against Man City. Pato in the hole, Bryan LHS midfield, Mags LB. Easy this football manager stuff with Hindsight Quote Link to comment

I will happily take criticism though, and I was slightly harsh with what I said, mainly because I think you're being ridiculously harsh on the club. You're saying you wish we'd brought in players of real quality (by the way, the transfer window's not even half gone), and if you're already not happy with the players we've brought in after they've been here for a combined total of 8 days, I want to know who you'd have us bring in. 1 Quote Link to comment

Kingswoodactor Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 More than happy for Walsh and Kent to come into the squad, as they'll both prove valuable acquisitions over the coming months. My one gripe is that they both probably need a month or so to get up to speed, and being thrown into a team competing for promotion in one of the most physically draining leagues in Europe is not really ideal. Both need easing into the side gently. It would be great to add 2 more whom are really up to speed with the Championship, players you can pretty much throw into the deep end straight away. Still time to act on this, and I'm sure that the coaching staff/board will be looking even harder now and getting some more business done before the end of the month. Plus obviously getting Fam, Djuric and COD back in the next 3-4 weeks would be huge for us. Quote Link to comment

He had energy , was organising everyone around him and has quick feet . As for Kent , début to forget . Clearly way off match speed so eager to please so I'll say no more . Quote Link to comment
