boksicdink 1,937 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Well that was poor. How poor is Reach's crossing... he couldnt get past McMahon and when he did, it was the same poor lofted ball to the back post that was overhit. Ledesma was out of place in that formation and narrowing our space by wanting to play inside all the time. Im not convinced by Bamford and Kike as a pair. I cannot remember either of them passing to each . Clayton was a big loss and because we had to move Tomlin, we lost him too. Positive - Husband I thought looked decent, as did Fredericks again.

ExiledSmoggy 5 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 After the heroics of Anfield I always felt these two games were going to be a big ask. The longer we go without getting defeated, the bigger a scalp we will be. Remember anyone in this division can beat anyone else. I would have liked 4 points from these two games, especially given the lower placement of the opposition. I think however, we always will raise our game for the bigger teams - remember what AK said, complacency is our biggest enemy this season. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Bamford and kike doesn't work at all. It was poor at Charlton and downright *** tonight. Hopefully vossen is ready soon because one of them needs to be dropped. Link to post Share on other sites
Oslo_Syd 320 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Not our best performance but most people thought that Blackpool would be a walkover and they clearly had other plans. We didn't lose and we picked up a point. We will have people coming back from injuries and suspensions, so frankly I see no reason to worry. Link to post Share on other sites

"KM" 1,656 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Bamford and kike doesn't work at all. It was poor at Charlton and downright *** tonight. Hopefully vossen is ready soon because one of them needs to be dropped. So does Tomlin tbh. Apart from his game against Preston he's done f*** all Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 The win by Charlton puts into perspective their game and ours they played top we nearly bottom Link to post Share on other sites
BoroDave4 974 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 That's really a game where we should pick up 3 pts. At home to bottom of the league. I know its a league where anyone can beat anyone and getting points on the board consistently is the way to go up, but when 3 pts are up for grabs you have to take them. We should have blown them away. They got alot of men behind the ball and broke decently, but we didn't do enough with the ball in dangerous areas. And for gods sake can Kike and Bamford please pass to one another?! Ledesma and Reach should have been off at half time. I like both of them, and Reach has been very good lately, but this game was not for them. Tactically we should have had Nsue and Wildschut on in my books. Not saying it was wrong from the beginning because we started well, but as the game went on it wasn't the right fit. Alright rant over. Massively frustrated again with us. We've got no-one to blame today but ourselves today though, it was there for the taking. Link to post Share on other sites
Boro 86 511 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Played poorly but got a point - In previous seasons might have lost it so we take the point and move on. 3 points on saturday and it is still a good start. Link to post Share on other sites
ManBearPig 1,833 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Not the greatest result, but points wise to make myself feel better, I'm going to pretend we drew at Cardiff and won tonight Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,656 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 It's the same old same old every season. We just can't seem to break teams down at home. We are not going anywhere unless we sort out our home form. We've already dropped 8 points at home that is just not good enough Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Win on Saturday and we've still got 5 points from these 3 games, just under the 2 points a game target for promotion. Link to post Share on other sites

2plus2 290 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Such a bunch of moaners. Christ. It's a poor result, yes. And many of us felt that we might run away with it, or at least find a way. But we had a hell of a lot of injuries, we're still 3 points off top and you're not always going to win the 'easy' games. We take a point and move on. Plus look incredibly healthy in terms of league position/points. Beat Fulham and a four point haul from 2 at home isn't so bad. That's 5 unbeaten league games in September. 11 points. And a cracking performance against Liverpool to boot. What a month! Disappointing day. But be fair people! Link to post Share on other sites
