cornishboroboy 272 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Honestly think it's going to be like this for a while everyone. Could see clear as day that the players still wanted to play a la Warnock but having to play a new way. Midfield was static off the ball (except Crooks who worked well). The amount of time that Tav was stood still with his hands out gesturing to give him the ball, and not moving to create a space/angle, then flail his arms around when he didn't get it was frankly absurd at this level. Players just caught between 2 playing styles at the moment. Summed up with the calamitous 2nd goal. Paddy wanted Sol to whack it a'la Warnock so just stood still, Bamba trying to play the new way and passed it to a static an unexpecting Paddy. Think we have to reserve judgement for at least another 8-10 games. January is going to be very interesting... Link to post Share on other sites

BoroSmoggie 2,680 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Feel so bad for Bamba. Already done more then any of us expected for him. Can’t believe he’s even playing 3 games a week. Bar that one mistake, he didn’t put a foot wrong all game (again). You just know he’s gonna be beating himself up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mfcdanny 770 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Penalty or not it shouldn’t of got to that. Tav should of scored. Can’t believe how frustrating he is. I’ve been trying to stick up for him lately but was so poor today Link to post Share on other sites

The question is for who though. Link to post Share on other sites

Borodane 6,246 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Are we going to use Dijksteel as rwb or in the back three. A back three of dijk, fry and McNair would have bit more pace than today. I appreciate that Bamba has done well but there is no future in him. But then again Jones isn’t really good enough to be rwb in my eyes. Probably be decent to get Spence back with the form he’s been in at forest. Link to post Share on other sites
nunthorpered 1,920 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Bamba has to take responsibility for that loss. Could drop him based on that alone 1 Link to post Share on other sites
bmt 187 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Very promising signs up until the equaliser. Kept the ball well, quick passing, plenty of chances created. A couple of players short and a stronger mentality needed. Another centre back, right wingback and another striker. Crooks outstanding today. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

DurhamRed 2,043 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Yet again throw leads away we don't have mental ability to hold out. It's true we are now the worst side in the league at holding into leads dropped the most points at 17 now 2 Link to post Share on other sites

In 8-10 games we will be in a relegation scrap if we keep performing like this. 2 must win games really at home and we didn't deserve more than we got out of either really. Just not good enough. I hope Wilder is not a one trick pony because he's going to have to think of something better than this. Link to post Share on other sites

Defenders are told to keep there arms in, for that very reason. Never a penalty. Why would you jump with your arms in front of your chest if your intention is not for the ball to hit them?

TeaCider24 12,404 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I can't see Daniels lasting much longer in goal. Thought Tavernier had a very poor game, though he largely made up for a lot of his mistakes defensively. It looks like Peltier walked off holding his hamstring, so I expect he'll be missing on Saturday, and I don't think he was bad today. He nearly scored a stunner too. Bamba is struggling lately, which is a shame given how well he had been doing. Hoping Crooks isn't too badly hurt as he spent a good 5 minutes limping before shaking it off.
