The frustrating things for me, which nobody has mentioned is we didn’t have any shots across a saturated surface. Their keeper had his easiest ever match, when it should have been his busiest. I think they’re all thick. When a player takes a free kick 5 yards from the edge of the box and tries to curl one in the top corner rather than blast it across the ground, that’s the only conclusion I can come up with.
Why do we, at home, bring every player back on a corner when we’re drawing or winning but leave one up top when we’re losing? The difference is plain and means they have 2 extra players in our box, increasing their odds of scoring.Barnett is a danger, Perkins is footballing gnome apart from that I had no problems with his team selection, pre-match. It’s tactics and tempo which is our problem. I’d be looking for an experienced playmaker in January, someone like Nolan.

13 December 2015 at 5:14 pm #146205Doesn’t matter who comes in or goes if we do noup the tempo and play positive we will not go up or even finish in the play offs.
Starting line up seemed OK or not bad yesterday but if the midfield (whoever they are meant to be?) do not service forwards in this league there is no chance.13 December 2015 at 8:14 pm #146210I’m just glad perkins as been found out thought I was dreaming when people where saying he is a gud unTo be fair he was useless yesterday, he hardly got a tackle in and his passing was woeful. He was just running around a lot but not actually doing anything.
He reminds me of a poor Darren Sheridan.

13 December 2015 at 10:22 pm #146224Rumour as it that there is a press conference at the DW tomorrow at 9,30Aye, Sharpey has bought Bowton.
13 December 2015 at 10:33 pm #146225Oh dear! Looks like the old darkside vs lightside is re-emerging again. & why is it when we win a few games – all is fine, yet lose a couple &/or play badly in those said games & the usual pessimistic &perhaps our more moronic posters post their typical drivel.
Yes, yesterdays game was SOOOOOOO frustrating, but is it really necessary to start calling for caldwell’s head – who might i stress is a very young manager & is still learning his trade. Sometimes he might get it right & on other occassions ie yesterday, he will get it wrong. I for one am pleased with him & i do feel we will head in the right direction under his leadership.
Where he gets it wrong IMO is playing both perkins & power together – 2 very defensive minded midfielders who are too similar & will play backwards, sideways etc. He needs to play one of those with either jacobs or junior & play a system that gets the ball to grigg &/or other striker(s), because withoit decent service grigg just looks like a lazy sod. Change those & we will be fine.
But please, way too soon to start calling for his head or for taxis. Give the guy a chance.13 December 2015 at 11:08 pm #146227We are still in the play-off positions. Enough said.

14 December 2015 at 1:28 am #146233At the end of the day it depends on what the actual club’s ambitions are at this present time. If a club needs to get back to the division it was just relegated from then I would imagine that they would get in an experienced manager. If on the other hand there is a certain lack of ambition at said present time then a club will do it on the cheap and fill the managerial position with someone from within the club! There is no rush to get back into the Championship it would seem!

14 December 2015 at 3:34 am #146236I love football but I try not to get involved in criticism of players, formations or tactics because there are so many variables and unknowns involved. For example if a player is played out of position, injured, or given a role he is not comfortable with then his performance is affected. Football is about opinions and I accept the fact that other fans are as likely as I am to be in the right (most of them anyway).
However: Considering the strength of our squad, the only explanation for the way recent opponents have been able to completely stifle our play is our predictability. Opposing managers appear to know our tactics better than our players do.

Either way it’s pathetic.
