  2. Perhaps it's because I'm pretty depressed at the moment, but I feel quite numb after that game. We won't miss out on promotion because of today's non-performance, but today neatly encapsulated so many of the things which have been wrong with us for most of the season. If Warnock and Gibson watched that and felt satisfied with the performance (and in particular the resulting stats), they need to retire from football. If they weren't satisfied, they need to tell the watching public what they're doing to improve it, because no evidence was offered up today. I accept MFC is an economic s

  3. It was an ok ish game. I didn’t think Spence played as badly as people are making out, there were some glimpses of skill and he occasionally looked a danger. The substitutions worked, and we didn’t resort to hoof ball. Not a bad result against a decent team, I’ve seen us play a lot worse.

  4. If we don't bring in a proper leftback in the summer and Reach's wage demands weren't too wild. I'd bring Reach in for the "Johnson" role, Reach has out performed Johnson in basically every season (in terms of goals and assists) at Sheffield, compared to Johnson this season (his best for us). Reach has the versatility to cover leftback (at a push), but more competently cover the left wingback and further forwards in left wing too. Plus he's played other positions for Sheffield so could cover other areas in a real injury crisis. That said he wouldn't be my first choice for leftback or

  5. Well that was an extremely difficult watch. Passing back to Bettinelli rather than moving it forwards only for him to hoof it up to nobody in particular or worse still straight out of play is hardly a ringing endorsement to buy a season ticket. I'm guessing that Johnson like a few others either isn't being offered or signing a new contract as he is now seemingly overlooked. I'm not sure what the stats say but since the loanee's have arrived in January and his omission started it seemed to coincide with our downturn. Howson now reminds me of Clayts and Friend when they went from stalw

  6. If Mogga wishes to walk away from management I would be all over him being our chief scout. He can then happily live back home and go spot some talent for us. He has always had a good knack of finding little gems wherever he has gone.

  9. We may as well play out the rest of the season with the youth teams then. Warnock has banged on all season about ‘putting a smile on faces’, ‘giving it a real go’ etc but it’s evidently absolute *** as he never attempts to do either. Either that or he’s incapable of putting out a side of doing that. I personally think it’s both - he neither wants to or can. He’s just a spin merchant like Pulis and for some reason, despite the football being dire, loads of people lap it up. I’ll never be able to get on board with his mentality or approach and I’ll stick my neck out now and say we

  10. Playoffs may have been incredibly unlikely going into this game but that slight chance would have been kept alive if we had won. As long as there's a chance, surely it's worth fighting for. So for us to equalise and then time waste, clearly grinding out a point is just shocking. It's a pathetic mentality.

  11. That's more due to the fact that the entire team isn't very good than some sort of showing from Spence, mate. He is awful. If he wasn't quick he'd be nowhere near a football pitch.

  15. He literally has three assists against Stoke, Preston and Bournemouth. It's probably hard for you to watch the games when he plays because of your massive agenda against him, because there's no way you'd be able to watch him objectively. Bolasie has been decent since he signed, he's played in a variety of positions for us and put in a decent shift each time. Most of the time he hasn't been played in his natural position and we've had to resort to playing him as a striker because our current set are absolutely useless. In those games as striker he was winning more aerial duals than ou

  16. I'd love us to have a manager that tried to impose our game on the opposition, instead of trying to stifle them. I know Karanka was seen as negative, but at least he had a clear game plan and way WE played. The emphasis in the Championship was on us trying to win, not stop a defeat. I know this changed in the Premiership. I hope we show some ambition with our next appointment. And some balls.

  17. As a criminal barrister can I just add some of my professional thoughts. 1. Firstly not guilty and acquittal means the same thing. If you are acquitted of a crime it means you are not guilty of a crime. Therefore the poster who said there is a difference between the two terms i am afraid is incorrect as there no diffference in relaity at all to a not guilty verdict and a verdict of acquittal 2. Secondly When anyone goes to trial there are two outcomes. Guilty or not guilty. Someone is ASSUMED innocent if they found not guilty. The key point is this: Whether someone is fou

  18. Agreed that Bournemouth was much worse. And we did make Watford look very ordinary but we've been doing that a lot of the season by turning it into a scrap. We're very good at that for the most part. But doing that will never get you promoted and if we aren't looking to get promoted then what the hell are we doing? Against ANY team, regardless of who were playing, the least I expect is a genuine attempt to win the game. Today we didn't do that at any stage. One shot the entire game is pathetic. So although we did some other things well today, that's nowhere near the kind of all round perf

  19. With the greatest respect @AnglianRedin my opinion @RiseAgainsthad an issue with today’s performance. He didn’t mention any other game as far as I could see. He thinks Gibson and Warnock should retire from football if they are satisfied with today’s performance. There was nothing wrong with today in my opinion. I’m not having a go at either of you but there were a hell of a lot worse performances this season than today. I would point to the very lily livered attempt against Bournemouth on Friday as a perfect example

  20. Not sure I can agree with you @RiseAgainston this occasion. We were playing against a team who were full of premiership players and will almost certainly go back up. We made them look very ordinary. For some reason nobody wants to recognise that but just assume that we should easily turn them over? I don’t get what some fans think, I really don’t 🤷‍♂️

  21. Ironic when you look at the table and realise how crucial 3 to 4 more wins given away to weaker teams and what it means to the playoffs. Mind it shows the gulf in what is needed for automatic promotion.

  23. It's not half as pathetic as some of the performances that have put us in the position of being desperate to begin with. I certainly won't look back on today to think about what could have been. I think it's a failure for us not to make the playoffs personally but if we somehow scrapped back into them in the last 6 games, I wouldn't be overly happy with how we achieved it either. All things considered, including the poor attacking performance today, there are worse things than holding onto a point against the 2nd place team in the league and the best team since Christmas.

  25. It was a crap game from both sides with only one clear cut chance I can think of from either side. Two decent defences and poor attacks by and large keeping the goals to a minimum. They got a lucky goal but then Pedro should defo score his chance. Then McNair's ball is terrific and Bolasie getting in to make the most of it. There'll be a few I've no doubt thinking we should have lost by virtue of us not being very good in an attacking sense but Watford were rubbish too. A point is a fair reflection of that game. I really don't think a win would have made much difference at this stage so g

  26. Well that went a lot better than I expected. Especially considering how we played for most of the game. Both sides seemed to treat the game like a training match for long periods. No urgency or intensity...though Watford mixed it up with some quick attacks. Visitors had a big slice of luck for their goal. Although they were the better team, they didn't create too many scares for us until they scored. Took Boro quite a while to wake up and mount some kind of response. We took our chance from the free-kick brilliantly. Paddy with a pinpoint cross into the box and Yannick heading i

  27. Don’t think I’ll ever be happy when we play such woeful football. If we’re not playing for anything and the football is abject, there’s nothing to enjoy. Given that we’re out of touch now, what have we got to lose by going for it. Warnock set out to kill this game and got away with a point because of one good delivery from McNair. I’ll just never be able to get on board with that mindset.

  41. Echo stating it is looking increasingly likely that Fletcher will follow Britt out the door. If that is the case I would rather not start him for last 7 games. Just start Akpom and see if he can do anything which changes our mind and also give young Coburn a run out.

  42. Well, wasn't exactly a game that'll be talked about much in the future as a season defining moment. Didn't think that Watford were particularly good given the players/squad they have. Cant be too disappointed that we fought back to get the draw, but I am disappointed that we needed too. Hopefully we can go unbeaten until the end of the season and start the next one stronger. Would like to see Kebano and Bolasie still here next season!

  47. I see the Warnock bashers are out in force again. He put the very type of line up that you lot have been crying out for since he came in on Friday and what happened? We played like a bunch of sissies 🤷‍♂️ Now he puts a bit of battle back into the midfield and it’s negative 🙄 No team will ever win a game if they don’t put themselves about and ruffle a few feathers. I’m delighted that he has put a solid midfield in there. Let’s win the battle first and then worry about winning the game

  48. We played a very attacking line up on Friday, and barely tested their goal. Clearly didn't help their attitude then, so I'm not sure why putting out a more conservative side would suddenly make them play worse. Seems to be lots of pop psychology going on lately. Somebody on FMTTM is laughably blaming the struggles on us stopping taking the knee, despite us stopping in the 3rd match of the season and doing absolutely fine for months after that.

  50. We better not sign Ched Evans, really can't be arsed with that circus following the club. He's a bang average footballer and unquestionably a dodgy character based on his previous actions (even if found not guilty).
