      Egg…..to be honest I thought I heard the exact opposite that we’d only lost 6 points all season from winning positions .?.

      I thought they said once we went ahead that we had the worst record at holding a lead?

      Doncaster, Leicester and Yeovil are 6 points straight off the top of my head.

      EDIT – Looking at the fixtures we have dropped 8 so probably not the worst.

        We do create shedloads of chances during games, but struggle to convert those chances.

        Indeed. Would playing two upfront fix that? I’m not so sure.

          Plays well and then lunges in giving away a penalty.

          Don’t really think he lunged in to be fair. Junior Toilet cleverly slipped the ball past Caldwell and made a meal of the tackle ( only a little less exaggerated than James McClean ). He knew exactly what he was doing and timed it to perfection ![/quote]

          I see what you did there :unsure:

            Birmingham stayed up!! Unless they were involved in some egg chasing end of season knockout bollocks thing were the champions are relegated then play second bottom but lose and go straight to the final against the runners up of the Czech rugby league second division and stay up because they spent double what they are allowed on wages but still don’t lose points because the Greek Rugby League could potentially improve super league Europe by merging the two together hence saving the champions from their relegation fate.
            We stayed down because we had no decent strikers Egg Mon. Goals make points just ask the fans at Burnley and Leicester.

            So they did. That’s what you get for being away on the last day of the season.

            I know full well we need a striker as I have commented on another thread but the fact we didn’t play two up front is not why we stayed down. If you play one striker and he scores 30 goals you’ll have a chance. We didn’t score enough goals AS A TEAM.[/quote]

            We also had the worst record in the Championship for throwing away a lead as well according to the commentary on Monday night which would point to our defence being the reason we didn’t go up.

                      Yeovil – 2 strikers – relegated
                      Barnsley – 2 strikers – relegated
                      Birmingham – 2 strikers – relegated

                      Coincidence?

                        And while were on it how many fuckers have slagged Watson until he scored at Wembley

                        Me, and I’ve continued to do so after as well.

                          Away days at Griffin Park and Brisbane Road – a major positive

                          If they come up. Personally now I want PNE to come up.

                            I thought he was poor last night TBH

                              Our main priority HAS to be a striker.

                              Rhodes would be top of my shopping list but I think he will go to a Premier League side if he leaves Blackburn, so I would be looking at players such as Nakhi Wells and James Vaughan at Huddersfield who have scored goals in a poor side or maybe go back for Ross McCormack at Leeds who again has scored goals in a poor side.

                              After that we just need to tinker with what we have (unless we lose players of course) and I would hope to have McArthur and Gomez in the midfield with the likes of Watson, McCann, Waghorn, McClean built around them.

                              Defensively I think we will cope well with Perch, Kiernan, Barnett and Boyce but will obviously have to add to it if Ramis and Caldwell leave.

                              Carson and Nicholls in goal are fine also.

                                We lost control of that game when he went off

                                Absolutely spot on.

                                Those of you who thought that Espinoza was “the answer” probably realise why the rest of us didn’t know what the question was.[/quote]

                                To be fair to Espinoza, as someone else has pointed out, he isn’t a like for like swap with McArthur – its a bit like taking a centre forward off & putting McArthur in his place. It also seemed to me that Espinoza was pushed out to the left & Maloney went more central after McArthur went off

                                I don’t think Espinoza did anything wrong when he came on – its just that he can’t do what McArthur can do (& vice versa) & there was a shuffle round of personnel. Combined with QPR’s change in shape it took the game away from us[/quote]

                                Agreed

                                  Keep hold of McArthur and Gomez and build a team around them.
