ladyspite 381 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Just now, DevKWat said: I’m much more concerned about our performance rather than the refereeing at the minute, I’m not being over dramatic but for long periods in these first 4/5 games we have genuinely looked like a bottom 3 side... well first half against Brentford was very good and with a normal ref we would have had 2-0. Today second half was very good and with a normal ref we would have had atleast 3 penalties ? Link to post Share on other sites

I thought we were really good second half today! Some very strong showings from a few players and if we can more consistently play like that we'll be fine. Link to post Share on other sites
BillinghamBoro 229 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Just got in the car, thought it was very much a game of 2 halves. If I were a Millwall fan id have been really amazed as to how we weren't out of sight first half. We rode our luck with them missing open goals. Second half we looked plenty better and got the ball on the ground and looked ok in spells. Poor poor defending for their corner, totally switched off. Ref made some mistakes in the game, but we can't keep blaming the referee for the results were enduring. That first half was shocking from us, was glad when the halftime whistle had gone I'm going to be totally honest. A point was a fair result of the game imho. Link to post Share on other sites
BillinghamBoro 229 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Plus being the pessimist I am, I can't really tell whether we looked really good second half or they just switched tactics and as a result making them look really poor. Link to post Share on other sites

Will be very happy if we make it three unbeaten as Bristol City will be tough. A point against Bristol City would be a very good result. They underachieved last year and I expect them to be near the top of the table (in the play offs) come the end of this season. I will be very pleased if we manage to stay unbeaten for a third match. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think you can blame the ref when he possibly misses 3 penalties. Link to post Share on other sites

We still need to be taking chances and scoring from them, regardless of the rights or wrongs of the ref. In football you get some decisions and sometimes you don't. Link to post Share on other sites
Lord_Moose 387 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Thought that was a fair result, looked like we were poor first half but we definitely picked up second half. Johnson came on and was nice and direct, really gave us a lift. Moment of the match was their manager getting sent off. Link to post Share on other sites

In football you get some decisions and sometimes you don't. Except we seem to consistently not get decisions. And when most of our chances were ended by the penalty decisions I think we have a valid reason to complain. Link to post Share on other sites

BoroSmoggie 2,678 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Fletcher “out wide” does not work at all. He comes central and stands next to Britt making it to congested. Browne was doing the same so I do not understand the tactics there at all. No width what so ever. Johnson comes on and gets wide and all of a sudden we look a different team. It’s really not rocket science, you learn at junior level when you have the ball make the pitch big. Painful at times today. Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,401 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 On the positive side, we scored a league goal kicking towards the north stand! Only took 8 months. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
