Cov Reaction

Im not gonna knock last night's effort,people need to realize that most of the players had some sort of illness,the back 4 were chopped and changed about,and even though we had the youngest side out that Ive ever seen we still pushed them at the end,and if for not 2 great saves we could have snatched a draw.

Obviously we are gonna get the fickle ones always moaning no matter what we do,but I was proud of the effort and commitment we gave for such a young and mostly inexperienced side.

 

LOL, of course it was f**king easy, there wasn't 3 in the way, 2 at most, one being a defender and the other the keeper, both were practically on the ar*ses before he pulled the trigger anyway.

 

Anyone got a video of the highlights?

 

Its not on bbc yet, some time tomorrow

I didn't say he shouldn't have scored. because he should have at least got it on target but the chance just wasn't as easy as I thought it would be.

 

Bang on the moment my mate, weve got to be realistic.

 

things we all kn ow about football

1 - you don't take your chances you lose
2 - you don't defend propely - you lose
3 - if a keeper makes an error it tens to lead to a goal
4 - a group of 7 teenagers are never going to stand toe to toe with an established physical outfit with out something giving

The 2nd half was men against boy. As soon as Hodgson went off it went down hill. Harley worked hard but thats all, Eustace ahd a decent game, Cleverley again worked hard and took his goal well.

Hoskins, fair play to him, took his goal well even with a defelction and should have made more of other chances. No one can doubt his workrate but his lack of quality lets him down.

Only our 2nd loss, not the end of the world.

 

Good to see you're living up to the quote in your signature WAS!

 

Good effort from the "kids" but we still seem to conceed far too many goals from set pieces and corners whoever is playing. This is a problem we had under boothroyd too. A solid defender like Williamson has to be no.1 priority in Jan.

 

Where was our 'keeper's error which lead to a goal?

 

he caught the cross and then dropped the ball, pretty much a clanger in my eyes

 

???

At which point? Goals below:

I fail to see where Loach "caught a cross then dropped the ball"...

 

Disappointing goals to concede - their second is an embarrasment.

But hey - we'll beat Cardiff and move on!

 

With the defence that finished Tuesday starting Saturday , we are going to get smashed.....

Oh well , pubs still sell beer after and before so it dont matter

 

I didn't look as bad now i have seen it again. At the time it looked like he caught and dropped a simple header. As it is he managed to flap at it , get his hands on it, but neiterh catch or punch it.

Why didn't Cowie tuck that chance away ? no need to pass, I didn't realise how bad a miss Hoskins effort was from 3 yards, and how did Henderson miss the target after such good work

 

If you're talking about their equaliser I'd not call that a flap really. He's never going to catch it under pressure there so you can call it a failed punch at worst. To me though he's saving a header rather than trying to clear a cross hence the parry.

 

I agree wit dis guy.

 

I blame Loach for everything.

 

I know its late but ive just seen the highlights and the defending for the last 2 goals was some of the worst ive seen :forehead:
