Red Robin Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Next Saturday is a MUST win game,no other result will be good enough.Win puts us in a healthy position,lose the bubble could have burst,draw and were on tender hooks.Today we got what we deserved nowt,simply they have to raise the bar for top two promotion.Lets hope and prey a striker arrives in time.It showed against Leicster.Watford,Plymouth the goals are hard to come by.

Guest Eamer Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Our last few results haven't been good enough, some people said draws are fine because we weren't losing but we need the points or we will be moving backwards. We can't afford to drop any more points, a win against Cardiff is definately a must and I agree with everything you put there, apart from maybe the "deserved nowt" part. We were the better side throughout and it was just down to getting shots on target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouth came here, remained disciplined and done a job on us. I thought they deserved their 3 pointsThey certainly did their homework and didnt settle to sit back after their lead. I thought they were good on set pieces and battled well and frustrated us. We didnt have the quality in the box to get back to 2-2. The penalty was fortuatous as the ball hit the players arm. But was a big chance to get a draw. We never looked like getting it though and their keeper wasnt worked hard enough. We need to be more clinical in the box if we want to beat teams.

Cooter Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Well, I have to agree with Roger Red Hat here, and say we did deserve to get something from the game...Plymouth played the whole match like they wanted a point, and I think on both teams' performances, we did in fact have the edge on the game, and perhaps should have came away with all 3 points, but it was just bad defending on our part, and good defending on theirs, which has pretty much gifted them the 3 points today...I believe Johnson will get them going again for next Saturday, as it seems we only know how to bounce back from defeat!

As I said previously, away from home, you will rarely dominate possession....as proved today. We dominated possession but NEVER looked like scoring. Its all well and good playing pretty football, but if you don't do it in the final third....your not going to win games, and don't deserve to either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldnt agree moreThats what I'm saying. At home, its the home team who has to take the game to the away team. I guarantee if that was City who had just gone to Plymouth today, played like plymouth did and won 2-1, we would all be saying how we deserved to win as we stifled the home team and were clinical in front of goal when the chances came along.

That was the easiest win bonus Mr Douglas has earnt all seasonDidnt deserve to lose today, Mr Douglas made 2 great saves first half and a decent one in the 2ndNo easy games in this league, they were a ok team but we had more possesion and edged chances - therefore i don't think a point would of been unfair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all well and good playing pretty football, but if you don't do it in the final third....your not going to win games, and don't deserve to eitherGoing on that basis, it should have been another 0-0 Draw then...They "cleared" a goal off of the line, and we "failed" too...I wouldn't call their 2nd goal "clinical finishing", just "bad defending" on our part!Their first goal, you might argue, was "well worked" by them, but only as it was again, "gifted" to them by us...I feel we didn't test their goal keeper enough, only because their defence seemed to eat everything up, once we started to play the long ball game, which I just feel is a desperation tactic, as it's not that often it tends to work!There were plenty of goal mouth scrambles in their box, of which on another day, could have fallen to us, and we could have ended up winning the game comfortably, but it wasn't to happen...

That was the easiest win bonus Mr Douglas has earnt all seasonMr.082005, we did. When we went 'long' in the second half we put the ball in the box as much, if not more than I've seen for some time, and there were quite a few knock downs and such. Tamas was a nuisance and if we'd had someone who could finish we would have got something from the game. In the second half we definitely did not play the possession game, it was 'get it up there' and try and 'wack it in.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After loosing to QPR, a game I watched, I had serious concerns but we came back and we will do it again. No doubts. Cardiff have the FA-cup in mind and we will take advantage of that. In a couple of weeks time we should bring Sergeant Brooker back. Will boost confidence with another option. Any winners today? Maybee Hull. N O O N E E L S E .WE ARE UNDERDOGS SING WE ARE UNDERDOGS!!

Kibs Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 We are 39 games into the season and 2nd on goal difference. The bubble has not burst. There is no bubble.However, If we don't sort out our recent goal scoring problems then we will be in the play-offs. We are simply not creating any chances from open play which is hugely worrying.
