Given that our record against good sides is pretty good, it's strange that we have continually struggled against the weaker teams. If we are to go up we need a killer instinct.
Not being able to score against teams like Sheff Wed, Scunny ,Colchester and QPR has cost us a lot of points. We really need a good result on Saturday now .Come on you reds.
[cite]Posted By: leftbehind[/cite]Normally a point away from home would be OK
But yet again we play poor against a poor side which is more worrying
[cite]Posted By: Rothko[/cite]Didn't sound like a poor performance, it's not like we didn't create. But it's open to how full or empty your glass is
Just got back from the game - I would have to say it was a poor performance. We were pretty much outplayed in the second half. IMO taking Youga off was probably a mistake.
[cite]Posted By: Rothko[/cite]Roy, we could win 5-0 and you'll think it was a poor performance.
Sounded like Youga was going to get himself sent off, so sounded like a good move
Pardew SSN post match interview has credited Wednesday with a good performance and suggested the pitch was difficult and that we just lacked that little bit of quality.

No - youga quite often got first to the ball and won it cleanly. The incompetent ref then gives a free kick against him. Also the ref gave a corner when Weaver saved and the ball was nowhere near the goal line. IMO some of the inmates of Rampton could have done a better job.

not good enough - need to score goals to win games. how many times have i said that this season ??
12 goals in the last 10 games - 6 of those games against teams who were at the time in the bottom 6. From our quartet of strikers, since WBA away in the league on Dec15th (Redy's last game) only Varney has scored. 6 starts from Iwelumo - 0 goals, 4 starts from Gray - 0 goals.
Automatic promotion........you're ' aving a laugh.

You can tell old Golfie has been sharpening his keyboard just waiting for us not to win again!
Did you enjoy the match Friday Golfie? Do you reckon it was a good performance?
unfortunately golfie didn't have to wait long ... 2 away games and no goals against 2 piss poor sides (who were waiting to get beat)and only 1 point make a win against watford a must if we realistically want to achieve automatic promotion cos the games are running out ...
west brom slip up but then stoke , b city and watford start winning regularly while we haven't won 2 games on the spin for 12 fixtures which in this junk league is simply not good enough with the quality of squad we've got , we're under performing too much IMO

Gawd, all this bollox about teams waiting to be beat, deserved to be beat, etc etc. No one's gonna let us beat them. They raise their game and play to their strengths.
The game's not played on paper. Otherwise, I'm sure all the moaners would be top class managers.
Unfortunately, people want to beat us and that makes it difficult.
Fortunately, you don't have to be perfect in this league. Learn from your mistakes and keep trying to push forward. A couple of weeks ago, everyone thought Watford were done for and West Brom were the new Brazil 1970. All changed. Keep pushing forward, keep the faith and maybe we'll be there at the end of the season.

We really ought to be beating Wednesday, not a good performance at all.
But yet again we play poor against a poor side which is more worrying
Bristol City play Palarse next monday night at home (so an easy 3 points for City!!)
And should the worse scenario occur and we lost to Watford on Saturday we would be 10 and 9 points respectively adrift from the auto promotion places.
Must check those play off dates again!!

And how did that referee only show a yellow card to the player who punched Youga?

I do happen to live in Sheffield.
Who was the incompetent ref?
IMO I wouldn't be far wrong if I said the ref actually hated him.
