Today's game was just the icing on the cake, in terms of performances at home. We've been dross this last month, I honestly thought it couldn't get any worse...well, I was wrong!
Terrible today, thank god the season's over! Literally, there's been very little to celebrate, and if next season's gonna include another 22 match winless run, then we are seriously screwed.
What makes it worse is the way we've been playing- I swear to God that most of the attacks we undertook in the first half today started with Leon Barnett just hoofing the ball upfield...that's no way to get goals, whatsoever!
Then Coleman changed the formation round, effectively neutralising Carl Baker, a guy who MUST start on the wing for us next season. Also, why on earth bring on two young lads who wouldn't make a blind bat of difference instead bringing on the guy who's served this club for 10 years plus, for one last rousing reception? Don't get me wrong, I like Clarke and Jeffers, but surely putting on Hall would have been a nice sentimental touch...
Looking at the table, we've effectively lost 2 places because of the goals shipped today, putting us in 19th. Unfair, perhaps, but at the end of the day we just haven't got the results. Ultimately, it's to do with the way we play- even when we were in the top half of the table, the games weren't exactly great affairs, but we ground out the result. I could accept defeat and disappointing draws if we were playing really good attacking football, but we're not, it's hellishly negative defensive hoofism, which isn't getting us anywhere!
Definitely not a great advert for renewing my season ticket.
