We did, Gyo's 1v1. And we beat him once (shame about the defender on the line though).

Must’ve been in the bog.

Mate we're 5 points adrift at the bottom playing a team who are shite and lost 3 games in a row. If we're not allowed to want to actually win a winnable game, what's the point

I think of all the games this season to be pissed off about tonight isn't one

 

[larry_david]

It's a good point tbf but just felt it was there for the taking. Decent defending but still getting away with it a bit. As confidence grows we will only get better. Gyokeres should have scored, and that would have been that. Not to be. Dabo, Palmer both out of gas, and Allen a 60 minute man. Sheaf much better tonight. Another away point, can't complain at that.

How was Doyle second half for you

 

[fatso]

Our midfield was knackered, maybe a couple of changes before 180 mins could have helped?

I've long since given up on MR using the bench effectively.

Frustrated. Not pissed off. Big difference

 

[jordan210]

Apart from Sheafs yellow. Only baffling thing with the ref was he let defenders get away with so much. As soon as Gyo or palmer did the same he gave a foul.

Apart from that one of the better refs we have had

Not as good as Rose according to Paxman

That is my main criticism we don’t shoot enough, we get in decent positions outside the box but tend to go out wide always worth the odd dig at goal.

 

[AOM]

Sounded like Palmer had a great game.

Gyokeres can be greedy which is frustrating at times, but also think he'd lose his edge if he wasn't

 

[mark82]

Just flicked onto the Blackburn game. Red blows for a penalty just as Bradley Dack is about to pop the ball into an empty net. Blackburn miss the penalty. That is shit refereeing.

A distinction without a difference. Draw away, win at home

 

[Frostie]

By the time he came on we were sitting so deep it would have been detrimental to over-press.

He did absolutely fine. The whole lazy & not pressing is a myth anyway but, like others, it is a stigma now.

This is the other thing with the lack of subs. We were content with how the game was going, making changes to that can have a negative impact just as easily as a positive one.

 

[slowpoke]

That said another unconvincing performance from Sheaf himself I thought.

He covers loads of ground did Saturday too but his passing which is normally a strength of his is off at the moment.

3 points, with 2-3 games in hand.

 

[shmmeee]

Take that.

Second best most of the game and game seemed to pass Allen in particular by. Sheaf was better but still not where he should be. Palmer trying too hard at times Gyokeres being too selfish at times. To be fair to Godden he didn’t do much but could have had two or three if his teammates could release a ball.

Dabo was poor positional again, no coincidence everything came down his side. But the midfield was far far too narrow and allowing overlaps on the wingbacks all game.

I think it is the lack of tackling with Sheaf which seems odd. This time last year he was winning the ball so much more

 

[hill83]

Bradley Sack

He's bollocks anyway

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Not a dreadful point, and good to keep up the run of clean sheet.

We’ll be blowing out our arses after about half an hour vs Burnley though.

 

[Evo1883]

Solid point fantastic defensive performance , we move PUSB

 

[Hertsccfc]

Of the defenders Panzo worries me. Thought Fadz and Doyle did well again.

Get an extra day's rest at least

Yeah on paper. But when the away game is there for the taking?

 

[WestEndAgro]

Think we would all have taken a point beforehand. I certainly would.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Their manager probably makes subs though

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Applies to both teams, we were conceding lots of space as it was.

Foot long or 6 inch?

 

[EAst ender]

What an absolute crock of crap that was! Yes, we were missing Adam Scott but that was garbage, a very poor Championship game.
We'll forget that one eh?

 

[slowpoke]

Perhaps with Hamer out he’s instructed to be a bit less positive but I agree he was better last season.

 

[mark82]

Bloody autocorrect.

 

[Liquid Gold]

They shaded first
We shaded second
Vik’s one on one curse strikes again
A point is a fair result and I think we’re happier than them.
3 clean sheets in a row. Defence is sorted, let’s get Hamer and Cal back and we’ll push up the table.

 

[Covkid1968#]

For the love of god… get this prat off CWR slagging Walker off. Walker had 8 mins and was trying to get involved … can’t do a lot in that time. Time to rest Matty

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

A whole phone in call dedicated to Tavares

 

[mark82]

Looking forward to defeat this weekend.

 

[Frostie]

Dabo was poor positional again, no coincidence everything came down his side. But the midfield was far far too narrow and allowing overlaps on the wingbacks all game.

I'm fairly sure that was tactical.
With Weimann & Semenyo both looking to play between the lines we could easily have been caught out centrally. By forcing them wide it restricted them to essentially tossing the ball into the box for 5'7" Nakhi Wells.

I would say it'd be interesting to hear Robins' thoughts on it but I highly doubt CWR are competent enough to pursue that kind of questioning.

 

[mark82]

I mean when there's actually something to whinge about with the ref I'll crack on. But he was fine tonight.

Which is what I said!
