tmcc 583 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 no energy and no quality tonight, never got out of second gear. Only real positives are the win obviously, and also i doubt plays will be tired for saturday cause that game was played at the pace of a pre season friendly. Hopefully QPR will do us a favour on friday and then we can really go into saturday knowing we have a great chance. Link to post Share on other sites

I really am embarrassed by the boos though, small wonder Connolly walked straight down the tunnel at full time. I don't think any of the loan strikers are good enough, but our fans are morons at times. Our home crowd is very antsy at the best of times. Moans and groans start so quickly compared to other places. Always feels that way to me when I go up anyway. Booing him does seem weird though, even for our fans. Especially as his only crime is just not being very good... Far worse players have pulled on our shirt and put in far less effort. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Despite our spiritless performance we somehow managed to beat a side that was even worse than us. As unconvinced by what I'm witnessing on the pitch I'm less than convinced or enamoured by what I'm seeing in the dugout. Is it the Chicken or the Egg? I disagree. While it wasn't our best performance, we had our moments. I could not stand to watch us under Pulis and Warnock to the point of not renewing my I-Follow subscription at the start of the season. Some of our players are still showing poor decision making in the final third. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
pikerman 1,121 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 We just seem to have run out of energy since the Chelsea game, almost as if we are running up an ever increasing incline, perhaps too many games in too short a time has taken it’s toll 1 Link to post Share on other sites
GrimsbyBoro 1,968 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Another poor performance and I have to say a question mark against Wilder. The players went out there like it was preseason and this has been the case for the last 4 or 5 games and nothing is changing. I would probably excuse Watmore and McGree from that criticism. They put a shift in. The positives are that we got three points, 2 goals and 1 clean sheet. hopefully that breeds a bit of confidence and if QPR can do us a favour it could put us in the driving seat.

DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Big win, but the performance was pretty poor. They said on commentary a lot that it was all very flat and it genuinely was. The striking unit will be ripped up in the summer, but tonight at times really hammered home how lacking our options are. Biggest example was that ball Jones played between Watmore and Balogun at 0-0, perfect place for a ball in to go, and neither had the sense to gamble and expect it there. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Redcar Rioja 5,977 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I think the Boos were directed at the "tactical" decision to put him on as much as the lad himself. In fact I'd go further and say that the fans were revolting. The performance against Peterborough just covered up cracks. Nothing since including tonight has convinced me otherwise. Could Wilder have managed a flatter performance if he tried? This is now do or die territory. Tonight was another big question mark in my book. If you can't motivate what you have at this stage something isn't right. Link to post Share on other sites
White Band 831 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Looking at remaining fixtures, we need to win both our games (unlikely! ) and have Bournemouth win both theirs (entirely possible) and Fulham beat Sheffield United (also possible). I don't expect us to do it, though. Link to post Share on other sites

It was just louder than ever today. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Crooks will be back v Stoke, so Payero may get a 10 minute cameo. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If it comes down to goal difference you’d imagine that Sheffield wins one of the matches and in that case we still have to catch at least three goals. We should have had at least one more goal tonight and I was disappointed that we didn’t really show much desire for it. It was just walking pace. We've closed a 4 goal gap to two goals, its not the worst night of the season. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah after the last few weeks getting the 3 points is all that matters. Couple of goals and a clean sheet is just a bonus. Yes the performance was far from perfect but if Sheffield United lose on Friday and we win our last 2 we will almost definitely get 6th. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
