Doesn't detract from the fact we were very very poor for the first 70, but the last 20 it seemed we had the fighting spirit back but why we didn't start with that is anyone's guess
sounded like we did enough in last 30 mins to get a draw ... decisions not going our way at the moment but I feel way more positive than I did on Friday ... and more than I did one hour ago ;-)
Happy enough with that. Wiggins out and away from home I felt a draw would be the best we could ask for. After going 2 then 3 down I had written the match off. But the changes worked well and the lads fought back. 3-2 will do me. On to Ipswich.
Will disregard the score for the time being - fighting back and threatening is what I wanted after we went down. Sounded like we got right in, created chances and strung more than a few passes together. Something to take heart from.
Shit team selection from manager has lost that game. Obvious to everyone that Fuller and Kerkar should be starting except from CP. What is he playing at???
Great effort at the end but still doesn't hide the massive deficiencies in our team at the moment. Really need to switch things up again, interested to hear about how Jacko did in the middle at the end of the game as he definitely can't start on the left and it would be a shame if we can't get our captain in the team without being over run.
Positives Excellent Spirit at the end Kerkar- very good Fuller - excellent Green- ran th show second half Jackson- usualy the first to critize but was better in the middle Showed we can play football 2 soft goals, would've been avoided another day 2 clearances off line, would've gone in another day
Negatives Poor 1st half Hollands was weak 2 sloppy goals Jackson isn't a winger, played better with Kerkar We lost
Start the team we finished with next game and I feel we will mount a much better challenge
Sounds like we gave a good account of ourselves in final 20mins, interesting to hear what those at the game made of it all. I had Palace and Derby as bottom 6 material so it is concerning we have lost to both in succession and conceded 4 goals to boot.
Why can't we play that way when the scores are level? Need to be out of the blocks like Mr. Bolt. Also, interesting to hear about the lack of passion and commitment shown in the first half.
We are now a 2nd half team it seems. We were shite for 70 mins but Green was our spark and he set the game alight with that screamer (any video of it yet?). After that we were great and piled on the pressure but yet again it was just to little to late, 2 headers cleared off the line and a plucky comeback but nothing to show for it, still we move on to Ipswich. Also apparently it was a very soft penalty, nothing is going our way at the moment but the quality is there, we just need it in much longer spells.
Didn't even realise we were playing until I switched on SS1 with 5minutes to go. What a jolly fun read that match thread was Spirited comeback, let's hope Green, Kerkar & Fuller start for the next one!

great spirit from the lads, but that's hard to move on from

COYR!!!!!!
Some people need to have a word with themselves.
But at least the right spirit is shown in the 2nd half, with a strong fighting finish to the game.
We do need the breaks to fall for us.
possession 41% - 59%
shots on 5 - 8
shots off 4 - 9
corners 4 - 5
GOALS 2 - 3
We slip into bottom 3
SCP making him say that? Or just maybe he isn't starting for a good reason.
Can't help but notice that the substitutions have usually consisted of Kerkar and Fuller so maybe now's the time to start them?
