Because we are crowded out. We have 2 players in their penalty area to their 4 or 5. We are not creating enough space and players aren't getting the clear openings they were previously.

Clarke is on 16 goals. There are 14 games left. It is an odds on certainty that by the end of the season he will have 20 goals. If anyone thinks that a player who can get 20 goals a season is crap or that ROD is better, then words fail me.

Wood, 7? :eek: A 5 at best I would have said. Would go with Grendel's assessment to be honest, though I didn't think Baker was that bad. Would have probably given Jennings a 6 too.

As I have said many a time. with DMC it wasn't just his goals, it was his movement too. His ability to create space for others. I recall getting shot down by a few on here when I suggested a lot of goals from other areas of our team was partially down to the fact that DMC's intelligence and...

So you are Gary McSheffrey! I claim my ten pounds!

Probably be a bloodbath on Tuesday cos Preston play Yeovil. That I don't think is going to be very pleasing on the eye for sure.

I don't think it is snobbish to want your team to try and play good football is it? No-one is denying they are good at what they do, but I felt they very much did overdo the time wasting. Quite subtle at times, but they kept questioning decisions and making out it was their free kick/throw in...

Err ... did we not hit the bar then? :confused:

Not quite as bad as Preston, but lots of shirt pulling and niggling and chipping away at he backs of players' heels and loads of complaining to the officials over just about every single decision. They were rather nasty for sure. You may see it as competitive, I see it as cheating. All part...

We do, but that time that player of theirs went down in the 2nd half. It was right after incessant pressure and we were really on top and pressing. Suddenly, he goes down. Everything calms and Gary Johnson uses the 'opportunity' to brief all his players. Play resumes and we lose the impetus...

Anyone else sense the similarities. Nasty, bitty, time wasting, shirt pulling, fouling, clogging and a plan to keep lumping the long ball up to the strikers to try and feed off. Trouble is, yet again we had a ref who failed to penalise the opposition for the constant time wasting and delaying...

A bloke did eat a horse burger at the ground. He was rushed to hospital but is a in a stable condition.

Yes, true. Just saying we didn't play poorly these last two games and the whisker of a post or bar could have made all the difference. Against Preston Clarke scored but was offside and it wasn't given. Today we scored, but offside was given. Such tiny margins. I know goals win games, but if...

It's such fine margins though isn't it. Disallowed goal today, the hitting of the bar. Baker hitting the post on Tuesday. We could have quite easily won both games. Had we put in two inept performances I may have been agreeing with you and be thinking maybe the bubble has burst, but truth is...

Don't quite get this 'we need a new striker' call. If anything the last few games has taught us, we desperately need at least one new centre back. I know our attack has misfired the last two games butt he defence has looked very, very shaky for quite some time and it is them that are letting...

Just wondering if their goal today was partly down to him or to Cyrus Christie? Christie's throw, but there seemed to be a bit of an argument between them after as to whose fault it was in giving the ball away.

DMC's off the ball movement created space for others. I do remember saying this sometime back and getting shot down in flames upon the mentioning of the fact that goals were coming from elsewhere in many ways because of DMC, his movement and that opposition teams were focused upon stopping...

Not a big fan of Stuart Linnell at all usually it has to be said, but he quite rightly pointed out that just one week ago all was rosy in the garden and we were saying how brilliantly we were doing after beating Sheff Utd. 2-1 away. Two games later and the honeymoon period is over? Doesn't...

You're right. He only has 16 goals this season. He'll only probably get 20 goals in total and that of course is simply not acceptable.

You want to write the season off with 14 games still to play? Okay........ :facepalm:
