I’d have been livid had that been given against us. Would you have taken Tav off? No I’d have taken Saville off, but I don’t rate Saville whereas Warnock does. Link to post Share on other sites
J.T. 640 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Cannot wait for Tav to be dropped next match for Morsy and watch a midfield 3 of Morsy, Saville and Howson behind Spence and Johnson. Link to post Share on other sites

I know you're being sarcastic but Johnson hasn't put a foot wrong for us in a while, and Morsy has largely been excellent for us. I don't think Tavernier should be dropped either though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dan1234 1,054 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Is anyone else a getting a bit puzzled by the Akpom signing? I thought when we brought him in he was supposed to offer something different, even an upgrade, on Britt and Fletch. He plays almost identical to those guys just worse! Did we really have no other options to blow 2-3m on?? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Blanco 4,916 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Bad day at the office. Don’t like these games when we are so open. Should have put it to bed in the first 20 minutes. Not impressed at all with blatant diving by Britt. If he practiced putting the ball in the net instead of trying to compete with Tom Daley we would have won the game today. I do think that fatigue played a part and think that he should rotate the players a bit more. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Only mitigating circumstance is we maybe have a smaller squad than some. Only other thing I can think of is that Warnock's preference for man-marking and pressing is taking everything out of us in the first half? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Aye that's true, still not brilliant from them either but it was just an awful game all round really. Same, this is the first time I've been furious with us all season, hopefully it's just a one off and we get back to normal next game because that was absolutely atrocious!

I'm not making excuses I've already in this thread criticised the lack of substitutions today. Regardless of whether they are professional athletes, the human body will eventually feel the effects of fatigue. We've played twice a week since about Mid-October, with a 2 week break for international fixtures of which some of our players played upto 3 more games in that time. Every other team in the league is in the same position as us, but the main difference is that we have one of the smallest squads in the league. Of that small squad it's been depleted further by Fletcher who has been out injured since September and Hall who has also not featured for us since September. We were crap today, but I think a small part of it can be blamed of a bit of tiredness. Link to post Share on other sites

Don't remember Bola getting done too often either. Fry was not up to his usual standard but I agree with you on Tav and Bola doing okay, I don't think Tav should have been taken off. Just a bad game all round really. Link to post Share on other sites
diggerlad07 3,689 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Strange one today as we didn't click as a team but I am also still scratching my head on how we actually managed to get beat today (without the obvious answers). Yes we were defensively poor for the 1st time this season,but we should of had the game out of sight in the first 30minutes. For the first under Warnock including last season, we looked like a team that concedes a bucket full of goals. I'd just put this result as a bad day at the office but I fully expect us to go with Morsy, Saville and Howson against Swansea as a bounce back. Maybe the condition had something to play with Roberts hamstrings, but I find it extremely odd for not bringing him on when it was clear as day to see there was gaps in behind their midfield. If Tavernier had a final ball/end product in him then we would of punished them as they were just as bad as us defensively. Link to post Share on other sites

DurhamRed 2,047 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I don't get why we were so open today we got the lead should of parked the bus. But tried to keep attacking then caught on the counter. We were punished for thinking we were better than what we are due to the chances we had in the first 20 mins. Reflects badly on the attitude of the players today we seemed arrogant. Link to post Share on other sites
