Be a shame if we don't pick up anything today with the four teams above us likely losing

I can't think of 3 weaker subs to bring on in pretty much the whole PL

A bench full of kids, has-beens, and nobodies. We start with a weak eleven and get weaker with every substitution.

Better than bringing on Hwang or Munetsi

 

[prawnking]

Will Tolu ever play more than 60 mins for us?

 

[Jinky]

Chirewa’s been class since he came on

No idea what that sub was all about.

That's kinda the point!

 

[Jinky]

9 mins injury time!

 

[Loki]

Christ, we can't even win a throw in.

 

[prawnking]

Digne just walked about half the length of the pitch taking that throw in

 

[Jinky]

Need to stop passing it around the back and actually get the ball forward. Very agricultural of me, I know.

No idea what that sub was all about.

Runs/jogs a lot to zero effect. Invisible when we have the ball, ineffective when out of possession. Probably not even Championship standard.

 

[prawnking]

Weirdly not much urgency to get back into this from us

 

[Jinky]

It’s going to be another “good effort lads”, but nothing to show for it.

Extremely hard done by today. Deserved to win, but going to lose. It just stinks of relegation, unfortunately - but we all know that.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Arias the only player I could fault today. Chirewa awful too but he's only 9 tbf.

 

[prawnking]

For all the heartache and horror of this season, at least I'm not a fucking Villa fan

 

[Loki]

Jammy feckers.

 

[YorkWolf]

Well, we've not deserved anything from a game for a while but we were worth at least a point there.

Encouraging performance for what that's worth at this stage.

 

[Celtiña]

I think the game whas correct today.

More MFs help alot to move the ball and find ocasions. For me the game whas good.

The problems. a lot short passes.
- Many times Toti have the ball and pass to Abgadou, and Mosquera whas full free... Seem no have confidence to made a long and power pass.
- Many times Gomes abuse of that too, and sometimes try a long ground pass and seem no have good power....
- Many time are 3 MFs in attack too many closes, and by that abuse of short pasees, not are opened. Need stay open and find more long passes.

The corners, and centers not have a good power and precision. You guys have tall player like Muntesi, Tolu, Larsen, Mosquera, Toti... but dont use that potential on corners because the bad centers...

Need work on it..

What's our points per game to beat derby?
