  1. Genuinely in awe of the fact that we did not have a shot on target. Can't wait to see how Pulis defends his gutless tactics.

     

    He will be happy with a point. Surely he can’t have realized that it was a playoff game.

     

    I can't even fathom why we play the way we play...... 

    We had a 2 man midfield in the 1st half .... Howson was off the field taking a leak or having a pie....cause he didn't touch the ball in the 1st 45 mins...let alone influence anything. TP's use of Howson as an Invisible Faux No. 10 is desperately sad considering he did the same thing with James Morrison in West Brom 2 sodden years ago. Lets stop this old war horse nonsense, If Football in the top flight has taught us anything this year its that dinosaurs dont belong in this era of football.... give a young hungry attacking coach his break atleast He wouldn't wait 80 plus mins to try and change the game in a must win play-off semi final where we didnt have ONE shot on target ......... damn this is getting awfully sad. 

     

    I miss TM atleast those 1st half of the seasons were bloody sweet to watch, atleast TM played football......all be it with the budget of a non-league team. Imagine when all them lads at Swansea's forum said Monk was awful we hoped they were just bitter, 40 plus million later we realized they were right all along.... We deserve so much more....yet we seem content in shooting our foot off everytime we start a sprint.    

     

    Oh well Next year Lads !!! Lets Smash the League!

  2. @ladyspite

    so how come every football pundit said we weren't scoring enough goals....or was it that there were better clubs at defending that us....maybe AK was the defensive master he though he was....or shall we blame it on Agnew or the rest of the team...........I hate to drag up old games but AK failed to take advantage of our fairly easy first 6 games where AK could have attacked and put a few points in the bank.....However, that is history and this is now

     

    I think the difference in Opinion surely has to do with the contrasting statistics of us under AK in the Championship and the Premier League. We were text book in the championship alas it backfired when we only did it half right in the Prem. Personally think its like beating a dead horse.

  3. Was a pen to Fulham imo, soft but a pen. We should have obv had a pen aswell mind.

     

    Can't agree at. It's not a non contact sport. It's not a foul just because he may have grazed his foot.

     

    Just my opinion. If it was a shout for Boro I’m sure many would say it’s a pen.

    We should have took our chances earlier and got punished. Still in this season and performance was alright, don’t get why everyone’s ***ting the bed.

     

    Who's ***ting the bed? everyone is quite rightly pis#ed at a shocking decision.

  4. Just thinking aloud.

    If this is flashback land, and if history is repeating itself and there is no stopping the inevitable, I wouldn't mind hanging on if it meant we'd get a Tony Mowbray type in (i.e., Rodgers) in said history repeating timeline. Granted its going to be painful before it gets any better. At this point I'd take budget buys playing football over the confusion we have been forced to watch the last year.

     

    Then again, I hope I am massively wrong and our season turns out fine.

  5. It works very well against us from what I have seen from opposing teams so my question is, why can't we attack through the middle?

     

    I may have an answer because no central midfielder ever thinks about it!

     

    I think we have only beaten one team in the top 14 of the league which is very bad!

     

    Its alarming that we can't seem to do anything of note through the middle, I hate to compare the past but under Clayts and Boots our middle atleast contributed towards being one of the best tackling teams in Europe. It had its flaws but instead of building on our strengths, we went the route of reinventing it, so far with no results. 

     

    I have plenty of respect for Monk, hopefully we find a beneficial solution that suits all parties soon, Maybe some astute signings in the Jan window?

  6. Our midfield needs a 'Hamsik' type of player to come in and lead the midfield.

     

    It also needs a Shwarzer, danny mills, southgate, boateng, juninho, viduka and hasselbaink.

    Reality is even if we had those players Monk still wouldn't get the best out of them and play them out of position!

     

    Getting a sense of Deja-vu, reading all these posts ....... almost reminiscent of what the lads from the Swansea forum were saying about Monk before he was appointed(here).

     

    At the time of reading I thought to myself.....'they have to be takin a ***, He left under less than ideal circumstances after all'. Still bloody hope it turns around though....
