Duvel 2,446 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I'd love us to get promoted this season but we looked absolutely miles off being a promotion contender tonight. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,394 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Wilder got it wrong tonight. Sporar and Connolly were both dreadful. Howson had his worst game in many months, our whole midfield was poor. May as well just cancel Payero's contract if he's not being brought on even when they're playing dreadful. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Was expecting a little more invention from him. On a personal note I'm getting really *** off that Payero cant get on the pitch. Wtf has the lad done? To be fair we created 2 or 3 really solid chances towards the end and just didn't take them. At least he knows how to throw the kitchen sink at a team late on. Would say it is more concerning how poor we have been especially in midfield over the last few games. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We're on a great run and playing an away fixture against an extremely tough side. Relax. Nobody is writing off the season... But we can call it how it is and say we were poor tonight. And to be brutally honest, have been poor since Forest and bailed out by last minute goals. I fully trust Wilder to sort it out and keep us in the fight for top 6. And we have some good players waiting in the wings to replace underperformers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Your game-plan can't be the end every match with 5 strikers up top, or hope Jones puts one on Crooks's head. That midfield needs seriously freshening up. Payero would be so, so good at keeping the ball and I don't get why he doesn't get a chance. First warning sign that for me about Wilder. Not impressed at all with him tonight.

TeaCider24 12,394 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 What makes it more frustrating is that Blackburn only scored from a massive defensive howler. Link to post Share on other sites
Aphex_Boro 1,425 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I thought Balogun looked bright when he came on, would like to see him start the next game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah they were not impressive at all. If we had turned up we could have won tonight. So frustrating. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He is tailor made for a Wilder team as the lad can do a bit of everything. Link to post Share on other sites

Today was a perfect opportunity as the midfield was virtually league 1. Link to post Share on other sites

For me we looked ok at times, strikers had chances and have not taken them. Blackburn didn’t look like anything either, it’s 1-0 away to a team going well. no dramas man, roll on the next game. I do with her play Payero, just for something a bit different. Tav, I just can’t work him out. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I still think we should have got something tonight as poor as we were at times we still created clear chances which is a positive. Were 2 good strikers a cdm and cb shy of being a top 2 candidate 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,043 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Deverstating result that we were the far superior team dominated the 2nd half. Gutting result we had chances aswell though crooks should of taken his and collony Link to post Share on other sites
