If you go by even more recent form then we won our second half 2-1, and Spurs won theirs 1-0, so that means we get a draw. Even more recent form than that if you only include injury time then we won 1-0, and Spurs drew 0-0, so we get the win. Link to post Share on other sites

Very logical explanation which makes perfect sense. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

LBP 3,012 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Dijksteel had a bad game but is still top 3 most important players for us Bails us out of so many situations the role he plays, similar to kyle walker in a back 3 Link to post Share on other sites
thomas 501 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Was really annoyed earlier, first half Barnsley just looked like the wanted it more and we played poorly to add to that. I'm sure next league game we won't play that poorly but that doesn't excuse this performance. One thing I'm majorly concerned about is Lumley, Wilder seems either incapable of dropping him or unwilling too, it's so stubborn when in half our games he costs us points with basic mistakes. Next season if he doesn't bring in another keeper and perists with Lumley I would no longer want him as our manager. Link to post Share on other sites

Plus Wilder will want all back 5 to play to get they confidence up. Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, I think if we'd managed to sign Clark from the Geordies then he might have been the one who lost his place over time. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,052 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) Didn't watch the game today .. But I just watched the highlights .. Poor defending and very poor keeper .. That last goal .. omg .. 3 sheep and a bull could run through Lumley's legs before he would react .. Very poor positioning of the body .. It's vey clear that the attacker sees the gap .. and just places the ball between Lumley's wide open legs .. Link to post Share on other sites

Had we signed a left footed defender (Clark as you mentioned) then surely Paddy would have switched to the rigjt hand side and Fry in middle. I still think Dijksteel position in starting 11 is at serious risk next season regardless of what division we are in given we will surely bring in a left footed CB and he most likely to make way. Dijksteel will be good cover though as he can play RB and CB so will essentially offer the cover Peltier now does who I suspect will leave. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Need to adopt a attitude of getting the first goal ourselves especially away from home 3 Link to post Share on other sites
