AND YET THERE IS NO-ONE WHO CAN BEAT US
oofff very uncomfortable to watch lol... no urgencey in any of the play really
clearly done there homework on us just pass it around and hope to snatch a goal, makes us look pretty stupid when teams put 10 passes together we got hold of the ball and the 1st thing the player does is lash it into oblivion with no aim what so ever, awkward to watch
but point it is, and sitting pretty nicely there just off a spot, cant really moan about the position
Just like to give a shout out to Huddersfield's Lewis O'Brian for being the only footballer on the pitch.
Christ that was painful viewing
On form that is two points dropped, but it's probably one point gained considering how poorly we played.
crap game of football but with two inexperienced players in such key positions we were going to struggle going forward. hopefully the week rest will do them some good
- Phillips MOTM by far.
- Murphy brought off at the right time, a bold early'ish sub, but both Vaulks (ineffective after stupid yellow) and Ralls (looked rusty after a few weeks out) could have been brought off and much earlier than when the next sub was made.
- Sang looked lively but Brown looked like a CB playing LWB. Ralls a better option if Bagan can't come straight back in?
4 points from games on Tuesday and then Friday is not a bad week at all. We're still outsiders for play-off places and probably need a few results to go our way this weekend or slim hopes become slimmer.
The system doesn't really work without the wing-backs pushing up into midfield and we were playing 5-2-3 for large parts of the game tonight. We've got a week off now, so hopefully Ng and Bagan will be available against Watford.
Gabbidon made me smile when he said how well Huddersfield had nullified Cardiff's efforts. What efforts were those - I must have dozed off for a while which would not be unsurprising. A big let off with that penalty miss.
Not as bad as the Middlesborough game but still bloody awful. Ralls was anonymous and the front three didn't click. Take the point and move on.
Of course it was poor viewing but over the decades we’ve witnessed more than a few horror stories down the City so it can be put in perspective. A ten game unbeaten run with six wins in the sequence is not to be sniffed at although some of the football on display is agricultural to say the least but, looking on the bright side, if this is us putting on poor displays I’m waiting with bated breath for when we click and start playing well.
We badly missed our full backs tonight. Hope Ng fit for next Saturday. Brown looked decent enough at full back and may be an adequate replacement for Bagan.
Ps we tried to sign their centre forward on a free but were stymied because of brexit rules. Huddersfield stepped in and got him. Looked decent.
Sometimes you have to give the opposition some credit. Their fans are saying it was a huge improvement. They set out to match our strength and did it very well. They are 8th in the table on home form. This would have been another Wycombe a few weeks ago. I’ll take a point but it was very frustrating.
When was the last time Ralls grabbed a game by the scruff of the neck?
I've said it many times on here... he's one-paced, his passing is generally poor, he seldom drives forward with the ball and just isn't smart enough in possession.
Then along come his little band of supporters to tell you that in fact, he's a solid Championship midfielder, who'd walk into the side of most teams in this division.
Away at Middlesbrough last Saturday after winning at Bournemouth on Wednesday, home against Derby on Tuesday and then all the way up to Huddersfield on Friday, and all at the end of a massive run of games at twice a week.
Come on, we haven't lost a single one of those difficult games.
Perspective.
