Mr Popodopolous Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 7 minutes ago, Portland Bill said: Quite possibly, but awful defending, two defenders standing still watching Austin have two stabs at the ball. Ive only watched the last half an hour, we look so open, when West Brom have the ball, no closing down, players standing off etc. Because of the halftime changes in part, the being open point. We had to make the changes but being 2 down, trying to chase the game and being outnumbered centrally would always make it very difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allwaysred Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Taking your captain off in the last 2 games says it all.... totally outclassed as exspected but once again nothing on target from open play and that's simply not good enough at any level. We've rode our luck and will see Saturday what the response LJ gets as it's a MUST win already just to keep in touch never mind play offs.....

Even though there were multiple posts from me at the time where I pointed out failings. I didn’t insinuate that you were happy with it, I asked you if you were. As you were very quick to jump to the defence of the manager that delivered it in the face of (IMO fairly justified) criticism of recent tactics and performances. I think it’s well known I’m not a Johnson basher (as it were!) for the sake of it (actually like to think I’m fairly balanced in my overall assessments!) but the recent performances have been - to be polite - garbage and it’s only natural that the tactical approach - ie setting up in what is in my mind very negatively, even at home - is coming in for some flak.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 We were well beaten tonight. There may have been an offside element about two of the goals but WBA could have had more. Twice caught on the ball and a bad pass out from Bentley cost us. The Bentley mistake was particularly galling as having got back into the match he had to launch it downfield. Amazingly we are still 7th and a win against 'uddersfield on Saturday will keep us in the hunt, so let's put this down as a game we didn't expect points from and move on.

We’ve done fairly well this season, but my main gripe is about our game plans and identity. What type of team are we? What’s our intention in most games? A lot of people would really struggle to say. Eliasson’s our most creative player and can’t get in the team. Diedhiou’s on form and comes in and out. Brownhill’s played deep, at the top of the midfield, at left midfield. Watkins comes in and disappears again. Smith’s now the saviour after four games in two years. Johnson’s assembled decent players. O’Dowda, Kalas, Nagy, Brownhill, Eliasson, Diedhiou, Dasilva, Pereira... they’re all quality players but it’s really difficult to fit them into a team, which just points to a lack of direction from our leaders.

The Batman Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 At the metro station heading back to wolves surrounded by wba fans. They said it was easy and they have no idea how we are so high up the league. Far too defensive, wrong set up. No idea what Wright does to justify his captaincy. Nagy has his poorest game. 4 mistakes, 4 goals. Similar to a few years ago when Hartley scored that sensational free kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a fair and rounded assessment of our progress, well done. I know you want to defend City at all times, but you must see if you watched the game? that in every department we were second best. We played no football tonight, never ever looked like opening them up with a slick passing move. Apart from the standard Lee substations, winger crosses chance of a header at goal. after 5 mins that's all over. The side tonight had one real creative player Palmer, ok he had a shit first half but leave him on, once he's off what's left? I can't see this craving for this top striker in January making any difference. We are what we are a bang average mid table side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still believes Roy of the Rovers is real. If it comes off he’s the hero but it rarely does. I would like to see à joined up team where players know what they’re doing and the game of their teammates. We gave WBA the game. Very disappointed with tonight’s performance. I could have accepted a hard fought loss but it was a stroll in the park for the midlanders. Roll on Huddersfield and let’s see a response. Dream on! It will be the same dross at home as we've had for three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
