In a strange way, I'm quite pleased by how pissed off our team looked at the final whistle.

However, based on our overall performance we were certainly worth at least a point IMO. Well played the traveling fans. I know it’s too late and in vain but can we please refrain from scapegoating anyone…we win, draw and lose together. Not scapegoating as such, you’ve got to look at the keeper for both goals, as well as our ongoing inability to deal with physical teams upfront. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Oh well. We just need to grow from this. Be more ruthless when we are on top. Get a bit tougher defending set pieces(Klose helps this massively if you are on the fence on that one). All forgotten with 3 points on Saturday. Not much bad to say about anyone. Could nitpick a few things but wasn’t a poor performance. Good growth game for the young uns I reckon. Shows they need to get a bit quicker and stronger. Luton not much but athletic and hard working.

We have played well but poor defending and finishing in a game where we have been the much better side. If we can get firing at one end or the other we should be more than comfortable staying in the division. Yeah. Its another defeat but clear progress and after years of not knowing who best 11 is and changing formation every other game, we have a pretty clear core group, set formation and an emerging style of play. The defending is infuriating. But I actually quite enjoyed that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 It’s just frustrating as much as anything. Signs of real progress, particularly in the first half. Second much more even. Again, just two average crosses in to our box and no one of ours near it. We always seem to have to score 3 to win. There would be second division defences disappointed with our defending on their goals. Always think defences are built on partnerships. Ours are non existent right now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_eastender Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 As dominant a display for the first 35 mins as I have seen from us in a long time. Just lacking a bit of quick movement and some poor crosses cost us. Bad call to play Chris Martin again. He was very good fresh against Cardiff, but expecting him to start again a few days later resulted in a predictable leg weary display. Now he is going to be even more leg weary if selected to start against PNE. P1ss poor goal keeping by Max at fault for both goals, as he was for Cardiff's 2nd. Bentley has to come back in. All that said should have ended 2-2 but for a shockingly poor finish by Wells in injury-time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Robin Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Frustrating one. Thought we looked the better team for large parts. Unfortunately, we continue to concede soft goals. Often feels like we need to score 2 just to have a chance of getting a point. It's been like this all season too, so unfair to lump all the blame on O'Leary. Big picture still looking positive though - we're moving in the right direction. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Sums up our season really. Didn't really deserve to lose but didn't do enough to win either.

Bedred31 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Last 3 games we’ve conceded 2 goals a game to desperately poor sides and 6 goals to an outstanding side. Terrifying stats. We need a new defensive strategy pronto- at least one new face and, frankly, much better coaching and managerial organisation. ‘Too good to go down ‘ is a mantra of at least half the teams who go down. Yes, some excellent displays from some young prospects, but overall this is probably the softest City side I’ve seen in 50 years- and at a time when we have a hard man for a manager! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfitInMyPocket Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 About time we dominate games, it is usually us doing the mugging when we travel away and get the win. Manmarking from set-pieces is a real issue, need one or two more brutes at the back to take control of those situations. Missing Baker massively.

The Swan and Cemetery Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Decent going forward, but first half final ball not great and second half missed some good chances. HNM and Scott did very well first half, tired a bit second half, but overall great given asked to do a tricky job, no sign of being overrun in midfield. Jay doing a decent job since topping up his Oyster card. I’m reasonably convinced that we’re much better going forward since Max has been in the team, but between him and defence we’re struggling with first things first principle of defending. Not convinced by DB, often stuck to his line as well and very capable of blunders as well (see Fulham). Hopefully keeping working as a unit in training and working very, very hard at dealing with balls into the box and our current travails will improve. I almost wish Williams was rubbish, he looks so good that the angst of him breaking down again is giving me palpitations. Lots to work on, but watching a side that both works hard and is entertaining, is so different to what we’ve had for many a year, particularly at this level (post Dicks favourite teams all 3rd/4th tier). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
