    We got two wing backs that can deliver a good ball to two big CF; how many times have we worked the ball wide to get in a cross? Zero.

    we just lump it and sit back 🤣

    It’s fucking suicide football against a team 7 points below us. 
    Once. Clarke ballooned the cross over to the far side and Leaburn got into a tussle over it and gave a free kick away
    Leaburn got tripped and the foul given against him.

    I said after Saturday good result from very average performance. This is a worse than average performance, we really are awful to watch.  This is a relegation display by us, Sheffield Weds have more fight than us.

    I’d sub Leaburn. 

    He looks frustrated and could end up the wrong side of a refereeing decision. 
  • Plan A, don't concede, has failed.

    Is there a Plan B? Does it involve, heaven forbid, attacking and maybe, just maybe, having a shot at goal, on target and possibly scoring?

    I try to keep positive about this team but, bugger me, they test my sodding patience.
    It involves us losing now. We’ve not come back from a goal down all year. 

    That’s it close the thread see you all Saturday

    As soon as I saw the lineup with 2 big lumps up top I thought  hoof hoof hoof
    Shit fucking football 
    Sort it out 2nd half Jones 
    It might work if they could play off each other. But they can't. It made sense to play one and bring the other on with 25 to go.
  • The fact that Collins has been our best player tonight says a lot. 
  • Campbell must be coming on. Is not with the other subs kicking the ball around.

    We’ll probably get TC at left wing back at this rate

    Nothing wrong with the ref. Nothing to do with losing Jones, Collins looked like our best footballer when he came on. Everything to do with the terrible lineup and tactics
    Surely you mean it had nothing to do with the shit referee, rather than there being nothing wrong with him, because he’s been undeniably abysmal.

    Campbell on for Leaburn
  • What really pisses me off is we come to a team that is right out of form and make no effort to seriously attack them.

    Instead we just sit back, defend and hope we can nick a goal

    Leaburn and Dykes playing up front together just not working. Just like a week ago against Portsmouth.

    Fed up with Jones' tactics and I struggle to understand why anyone would agree with them.

    The referee is dodgy I think.

    That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore.

    And there's definitely nothing "charming" about that ref.

    They were low on confidence, we needed to tear into them from the off, instead we sit back and let them play themselves into the game.

    2 months with Jones and Clarke and Chambers appear to have had all the attacking quality sucked out of them.

    We looked half capable when they got forward. Jones has cleaely given the instruction not to tonight and we look like relegation fodder.
    Clarke has got forward. Scuffed a cross very badly when he got a chance with it.

    Nobody is really playing well.

    NJ went for the “clean sheet and build from there strategy” (not a terrible idea when WBA are so poor in front of goal) but it’s gone now and we’ll need to change tactics for the second half.

    Even Steve Brown on comms just said “I didn’t expect WBA to score tonight but they have”
    But we aren't pressing high with these WB's very often, if at all. We aren't trying to play any football through the middle, we aren't working it wide. One Sichenje ball aside we've genuinely just lumped it at Dykes and Leaburn.

    We play for knock downs, yet we are barely pressing them when they do happen.

    It's naive to go into a game and expect to keep a clean sheet. I don't want us to go 433 and throw the kitchen sink at it, but there has to be another way outside of solely lumping it and hoping it sticks.

    I don't know how we can be 33 games into a season and the players look like they barely know eachother on the ball.

    I hope we turn it around, but I just can't see it if he keeps this set up.

    Abject first half performance, expect it to get worse. The Kenyan guy needs too much time on the ball.  Ref not having his best game.

    Fucking awesome.

    we will read about the worst team to come to the Hawthorne’s this season; and it’s totally justified at the moment.

    The respect we’ve given a team in the shit has been nothing short of a disgrace.

    Fucking stick it on em.

    Ball bounced about an inch from Kaminski, I just can’t stand the bloke what’s he got over Jones.
    You can't blame Kaminiski for that goal.

    Perhaps not but it might help if he actually tried to claim a cross once in a while.

    One shot and no corners tells the story. No attacking intent whatsoever. He’s gone there to defend and hope to grab something on the counter.

    Lose the Leaburn affect from the bench. Poor thought process.
