Let’s face it we are not as good as we think we are , not a lot of depth in the squad , Stefan looks knackered no a big enough squad and critical errors being made just a top 8 -10 team but it’s an improvement on what we have been in recent years so onwards and upwards

Originally posted by gator View PostWhat a poor effort by Dieng, he has got to save that!
We made errors at both ends.
In attack;
Chair could have tried passing the ball across to Dykes instead of shooting.
Odubajo hit his shot to central, straight at the keeper.
Willock slipped when the ball was coming towards him (with a clear shooting chance approaching).
Defending;
Dieng's og
Chair getting dispossessed. This has happened for other goals conceded this season and not just by Chair (Dickie at Bournemouth springs to mind).
We didn't do anywhere near enough to win that game and failed to keep possession or use the ball well enough. We should have known what to expect from Ishmael's side (Barnsley last season played exactly the same way). We are too slow to release the ball and always try and play our way out of trouble which looks great when it works, but awful when it doesn't.
The team lacks pace in attack and defence, but is more than capable of going on another unbeaten run as we do have the ability to score goals (we concede plenty too which is the Warburton way of playing).
I said a few weeks ago in a thread about how many points we would get from these 3 games that I thought we would do well to get 2 points. These were tough fixtures and with better finishing could have got more from the 1st two, but don't think we did enough to deserve a win tonight from what I saw having missed the opening 40 mins.

Disappointed with the final result. Dieng gave them the kiss of life as they seemed confused at the latter stages of the match. Tbh, we were second best for most of the game. However, I did not see that mistake coming. On a positive note, Moses had a very good game and the best save of the game came from his shot. Chair and Willock should not play in a game when we are expected to be dominated.

I don’t know what the game plan was tonight, we were unlucky against Bournemouth and Bristol city but we deserved nothing tonight.Barbet gave us no out on the left compared to Wallace and mcallum, johansen was woeful .The ball just kept coming back at our beleaguered defence.

Manager made a mistake taking willock off and leaving chair on. Unless it was an injury then chair should have come off. Willock is an genuine outlet when we have to give the defence a breather. Chair just puts his head down and fails to the better option.
He will learn as he's still young and a fabulous player so I'm hoping he learns along the way. De wijs looks like he struggles to get through 90 mins most weeks so expect Dunne to get a lot of game time.
We missed wallce/McCallum as barbet wasn't able to get up and down the left flank. Johansen looks injured from the start and now gives dozzell a chance to show us he can step up.
Actually felt we deserved a draw. Its not like the keeper had a worldie!!

Yep all true, we were second best tonight, even without the mistakes we were up against it all night.
Although you always wish for an early goal, it ultimately did us no favours and arguably papered over our general sloppy play.

I'm very disappointed tonight.
3 defeats in a row now and we looked lost in the closing stages of that game.
Its pretty clear to me that the problem fundamentally lies with the current 3 at the back formation, we need to look at reverting to a back 4, we need to do that and see what happens, we do seem to look a lot better in that formation than in the current 3-4-1-2 formation, ether a 4-2-3-1 formation or a 4-5-1 formation should be considered.
We seem to play well, but we dont get the results.
West Brom on paper probably deserved the win, we were the victims of our own downfall tonight.
Next week is a big week now, got Birmingham and Preston, we need to sort the issues out and sort them out quickly.

I know the early form this season was promising and I still believe we'll make the play offs but just consider that our last 2 AWAY games were against arguably 2 of the best 3 teams in this division (the next one is against the third) and we drew away to a recently bolstered Reading as well, we've only really had one poor result, the home defeat to Brizzle. After Fulham away we'll have played 3 of the most difficult fixtures this season so onward and upward....and don't forget we could have beaten both Bournemouth away and WBA away but for a couple of individual errors...we are a good team and so much better than we were this time last year....glass more than half full in my eyes.

Onto the next one.
Birmingham and Preston at home next. Six points from those and we are back in business. Of course we might have to be without Stef and Jordy,but still i reckon we will win both. Charlie must start at least second of them and hope Warbs gives Albert finally a chance in a league game. Big worry about defence though
