Numero Uno Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 1 minute ago, E.G.Red said: I'm no Manning apologist but it always amazes me that if we play well the opposition must be s**t or having an off night. Think the team deserve a lot of credit, 4 clean sheets and we stopped the opposition playing their game They were poor though and yes we made them that way. You can't blame the keeper but the centre halves (all three who ended up playing) put in a League 2 display. What it does prove though, is the level we are at. Put in a display like that in the Championship and you get heavily punished. Blackburn have won one game in thirteen, that 5-1 win at Sunderland people are referring to, otherwise have been mediocre for months. Looking at their run-in they really need to beat Sheffield Wednesday otherwise it might be curtains for them. Our players showed, again, that give them room to play then they will play. I would like to see at least one game out of those remaining where we play through an opposition that not only set up defensively but ALSO compete well. Saturday may give us that opportunity. That's Manning's last challenge this season for me................ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 The most annoying thing about last night is we could have won 7-0 if we'd been more clinical! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't bottom 3 for the 6 games before the last 4. Sunderland, Birmingham and Rotherham all had worse form over that time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puckle_red Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Unlike the Blackburn game. There were no gifted goals today to paper over another poor performance - apart from the referee giving us a very questionable penalty. It's not just performances though. The togetherness isn't the same as it was under Nige, something I enjoyed was we worked hard for each other. Now it reminds me of back in school when you'd play up when a supply teacher came in. 1 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I’ve just posted….Manning ball is dire and it was v Plymouth and Sunderland too, lucky to have won both those games. Papering over the cracks, big summer ahead. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He raises his left arm to block the ball. Current rules (anybpart of the arm) is a pen all day long. Professional defender should have arms pinned in....left arm not out for support to land....it the upper arm. Ref got it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet again we only started playing after going behind. Yes kept going... for the last 10 minutes to salvage a point against a team that will be relegated. Well done lads, you never gave up. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps if we'd conceded first to Swansea or Sunderland we might have not played so mind numbingly boring during each game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
