intercity Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 A draw at Barnsley, that's about where we are. Two great goals, the looping header at the end making Good Friday more pleasant than it may have been. APART from the two goals, I thought Barnsley seemed the better team and at times our passing and positional play was very, very poor. Where was the movement off the ball today? Where has the movement been off the ball since Christmas? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivorguy Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 The question still remains, in fact is underlined by today's draw, as to why our season has collapsed. Added to last season's record worst run there are serious questions for the coaching staff to answer. Unless those questions can be answered then there will inevitably be problems continuing into the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_eastender Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Great to rescue a point, but make no mistake Barnsley are a poor side and we should have been looking for all 3 points today. Poor initial team selection, dropping Kelly, should have had Bryan LM instead of Pato who really has not had one decent league game in 2018. Shocking 2nd sub decision, Fammy has been poor all game aside from beautifully taken goal, he should have come off for Djuric and Reid left up front. Kent was awful, gave the ball away constantly often leading to attacks by them. LJ seems to have lost all common sense since we went out of the cup, 3 wins in 15 is relegation form. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the wrong choice of words to describe the frustration that when a team that have played so promosingly in the early season put themselves in a position where promotion is a possibility then come up against a team struggling we can't play well or beat them (unlike Cardiff against Burton today). I guess if teams are good enough to go up they need to put in a more positive performance against those struggling and it certainly didn't sound good today.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Well in my humble opinion, we got away with that one, we were mainly abject today in what has mainly been an abject 3 months. LJ who sometimes seems be beyond criticism got pretty much everything wrong today. Team selection, it was always going to be physical game and he played Paterson who is the softest player on the books and in the middle of a shocking run of form, he leaves out Kelly who had looked solid and replaces him with Bryan who has been struggling for form at left back for a while now, when I would have thought that playing Bryan in a midfield would have been a wiser option. Substitutes, having made the decision to play Paterson, he takes him off and then inflicts Kent upon us, whose first 4 actions were to give 2 passes away leaving us chasing breakaways and then 2 more passes straight into touch. Kent has been a shocking and unnecessary signing. Djuric for Pack was simply ridiculous, we had a point and he decides to chase the game for all 3 points and it nearly cost us the game. We got into some very good crossing positions today but our crossing especially when we have time to pick somebody out is aimless. A point is a point and it’s to our credit that as always we kept going but it has to be said we were lucky in so many ways today, with all of the above and Wright lucky not to have been sent off. LJ you need to up your game, you got it wrong today. Edited March 30, 2018 by Esmond Million's Bung 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club is suffering from rising attendances, improved league position and all round general progress, so evidently the owners should be investigated/thrown out and the coaching staff severely chastised. The bigger picture is an inconvenient thing on days when we drop points. One day you may begin to understand what concerns some of us have who have supported City for decades and for generations.

chinapig Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 5 minutes ago, Ivorguy said: Do you truly believe all is well after two seasons where we have hit relegation form for a long period of the season? Will our luck hold for a third season? History sadly suggests it won't. My point is that LJ and his staff have to up their game before the first game in the autumn. Not necessarily promotion, although that was the target LJ set himself on arrival, but a balanced season ending mid table would do me. Isn't a balanced season what we have had? As I have said in another post, is it not the sequencing of the results that distorts the impression? As for next season, I hope for no injuries to key players and no cup run to drain both energy and motivation for starters. As well as the end of swings in form between extremes, as you imply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Milan should have come on with 30 mins to go. Central defence partnership looked tentative without flint, especially for the 2nd goal. A point just keeps usin the hunt though provided that we get three points against Brentford.

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I don’t understand the people bringing up their home form before today? those games don’t matter, they obviously didn’t play well in those games doesn’t mean they won’t play well there for the rest of the season. We got a point away. That’s all we should aim to do from now on in*. Draw away and win at home. That should see us in the play offs. *Obvioulsy aim to win but a draw away isn’t a bad result regardless of who you’re playing. Especially at this stage of the season, look at Preston they lost to Wednesday and Wednesday are atrocious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were bugging up LJ for turning us from relegation candidates to promotion candidates Simply pointing out - the same coach who had us as relegation candidates 12 months ago by your own words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
