sanddancer 1,964 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Far to many draws but it’s another point. Honestly I think I’d prefer have my eyes tattooed then having to watch us play.. if only we had got the players NW wanted up front I’m sure we could be up nearer 6th.

Duvel 2,446 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Good point, not the most entertaining game again but we are looking pretty solid at the back this season. I think if Warnock could have got 2 good full backs and another creative player in the summer we might have been pushing for the top 2 this season. Link to post Share on other sites

DurhamRed 2,043 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Warnock is skilled in making the opposition look awful 1 Link to post Share on other sites
diggerlad07 3,648 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 A win against Coventry and 8pts out of possible 12 is absolutely fantastic start. Like to see Akpom, Britt and Roberts start against Coventry and see if we can get some further confidence by scoring goals and creating further chances. One thing I worried about is playing teams who are direct, but I thought the whole team stood up to be counted and we dealt with the aerial duels and second balls. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

We've been playing a lot of the better teams in this league lately. Games should start getting better when we get some of the weaker ones. Then we have to hope Gibson lets NW do some wheeling and dealing in January. I agree we do need to improve, but considering the players we have and the teams we've played, I reckon we've done pretty well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not sure our approach would have been any different had we got Bolasie and co. We still would have lined up as we did and, like Roberts, Bolasie would have been sat on the bench for 90 mins. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Would have taken a point before the game, so a 1-1 here is a good point on the board. Can't help but feel it was an opportunity missed as in-game I don't think Cardiff were all that good. Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair he has a small squad we play 3 games a week. He needs to rotate and rest players. Roberts be starting Vs Coventry 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah at home against teams like Coventry I would like to see us score goals with playing 2 strikers with the likes of Tav, Wing and Roberts. Link to post Share on other sites
