Like wolves?Could have been a decent result but brainless defending can’t be fixed in just a few days.
Level of quality between the two sides is leagues apart
Needed a Harry type to get them to run through brick walls.The effort has been poor all game. No one getting stuck in, no one pressing, constantly losing duels, etc.
I was not expecting much today but fuck me I expected us to attack. That was pathetic in every regard of the word.
We have done that for a few years now does my head. It’s worse when cuti plays. Now add in the time it takes for throw ins.This is how it’s looked all year.
Literally every other club in world football pushes and has a ton of possession when down trying to get a goal. We just lay down and pass it about like we’re the ones up 2.
Its confidence, morale and psychological impact the last two shit managers have damaged to players. Bad decision making by players resulting in discipline and getting injuries. Fucking mess atm but I think tudor will just get us out of the shit.12 days off. A new manager and still abysmal. What hope is there ?
Xavis corners and free kicks are pathetic. Does our set piece coach have any fresh ideas. Look at manure wither corner goal v us. I have never seen us try some thing like that. All our corners and free kicks either go too long or straight down the goalie.
Again say it we needed a Harry type player with a Sherwood , sherringham Defoe etc. the fans would have got excited and the players would have been more inspired. Getting Tudor after Frank is such a let down.Doesnt look good does it. You just know the players arent inspired by tudor and a few of them want out of the club.
Did not expect that line up.
Common wolves 2 down get back to 2-2x we have new manger bounce and players happy Frank has gone. Add in the ficking 5 days holiday and full wk to prep we should do better than we did today. I’m not having that just bcos they are better than us we lost. Everyone always a derby league form goes out of the window anyway.I am looking at the remaining fixtures for us, Pikey's and Forest.
I think that the Pikey's have the most difficult run in, and that Forest the second most difficult ON PAPER, and we have to play Forest still.
I think we may well escape relegation by the skin of our teeth, but it's still no certainty and Igor needs to get a tune out f the players he has at his disposal.
Today is no true comparison, and Woolwich are streets ahead of us, but Igor somehow has to raise the bar with these players.
Slightly agree with that. But looks type of bloke who is waiting to lose his shit if players dont buck the fuck up. Its brewing.Hence we and they needed a manager with far more kudus and charisma with some PL knowledge. Not a totally unknown and well really unremarkable coach to take over in a dog fight. Hell it strikes me a lot of contes assistant.
That's the point.... It was never going to be ALLOWED to go to 2-2... It DID go to 2-2, but the ref made sure that wasn't going to happen.at 2-2 it would have been an entirely different game.
But then, ref had a massive role to play today.
Whatever the outcome, it was ALWAYS gonna be in their favour....First goal was on the ref, giving a free kick to Woolwich for failing to pull a Spurs player down, by holding on to his shirt.
Which should have been a yellow, or maybe a red for Gabrielle being the last defender or deliberately stopping a goal scoring opportunity
Yeah keep that optimism. We couldn’t beat spam at home rescued a point v Burnley, got dicked by toon. Regardless of the manager we still need to be playing better. We have no form at all and no shape or identify. I fear todur sticking to his 3 atb and players out of position is gonna be our death knell.We are never going to go down after based on the result of this game. The key games are what we know them to be.
Although don’t think they were freed from any constraints today. We basically parked the bus behind south stand first half. Everyone is in our third and we still could prevent them from carving out chances. Players looked like they didn’t know what to do.It was never about Frank. People here screamed about him being the problem. He was in a way, but he wasn't actively making the squad worse. He just wasn't adding anything to it.
Freeing the players from whatever constraints he put on them has only shown them to be absolute fucking garbage, as some of us have been saying all year.
