cidercity1987 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 A much much better second half.

robintherobin Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 With Rotherham and Wigan we've had two away games against hard-working promoted sides who possess little quality, and were there for the taking. We've got one point, and no goals. That's not good enough, especially as Rotherham have had more injuries than us. OK, tonight we did hit the woodwork twice, and some key decisions went against us. But a side really challenging for the play-offs would have had a comfortable 2-0 win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly they have had fairly reasonable home results so far this season but I think all this performance shows, alongside the last few, is that the fabled ‘dull mid table season’ really is finally happening.

Wrongagain Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 What utter crap, lump it forward and hope for a bit of luck. Our captain had another off day, our coach extended himself and brought on his boyfriend and the referee was in Rotherham’s pocket. Our modern coach (Manager) lost for ideas, where are we going? Nowhere! Weiman and Kelly the only players up for it. I do love my club, but when is the club going to repay that love? Never with a Johnson in front!

Tin Soldier Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 After watching this tonight, we are going backwards as a team currently. Not sure what the answer is but too many changes to the side from last season appears to be affecting confidence. Why do we try to lump it forward so much nowadays? Worrying! Mind you we have been pretty shit since January this year really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get too complacent. 4 without a win. LJ's got his eye on another record, I reckon, and the players are buying in. With the exception of Marley's worldy of an effort, Rotherham had far more and better chances than us and we have to be grateful they are so impotent in front of goal as I can't believe that virtually any other team wouldn't have taken at least 1 of them. I get the feeling that Johnson, once again, has to go right back to basics with these players. Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrongagain Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 We showed that a high press game suits us, and it worked well, Thanks to weiman! suddenly we revert to the lump it forward game our erstwhile midfielder loved when he wanted to avoid contact at all costs and we struggle! We have lost all the influential figures in the coaching staff because they did not follow the system LJ advocates, but strangly those figures achieved success despite him, until he got got total control.

wendyredredrobin Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 What has happened to this team? No guts, no commitmrnt, not challenging for balls. Rotherham are a poor team who had key players missing tonight. 3 points was expected and a few goals. TBH a 00 draw was a fair result. They had a few chances that they fluffed and we had 3 chances that should all have been burried. The Watkins one was like watching the downs league. After 2 losses and a weak draw, I was really expecting to see a team fired up. Decent last 30 minutes bar the finishing, but what about the first 60? You could see it wasnt working 20/30 mins in. That was the time tochange things. Hope we can show a bit more effort on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He at least looked like he wanted to be on the pitch making a difference. The two starting wingers certainly couldn’t claim that.
