Supersonic Robin Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) 31 minutes ago, petehinton said: I’m not being OTT in saying that Wells miss might be the worst I’ve ever seen in a city game. Almost a bit relieved it happened to him and not Cornick. Not wanting to kick a man whilst he's down, but surely that accolade had to go to Sam Bell for this season.

mozo Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 1 minute ago, BUTOR said: 4 games and 390 minutes of raised performance levels is not a one off crack at better opposition in the cup. The championship is relentless and doesn't often work in straight lines, I know, but it's still frustrating. Under Manning we've certainly had some games where there's been a questionable drop in levels. It makes the 'it's just where we are' argument lose a little bit of credibility when we've shown what we are truly capable of now, even with a depleted squad. I'm sure LM feels the same. Not expecting top 6, but neither am I happy to accept 14th and a dead end to the season in February either. We've also had some solid league performances along the lines of tonight, such as Watford and Coventry away, but we obviously would like to see consistency. It's not bloody easy though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 16 minutes ago, Harry said: Maybe James was down as the 5th penalty taker. Which more often than not is the real pressure one? We had Cornick, Bell, Wells & Mehmeti take pens. We don’t know who the 5th was. But only James & Williams were likely, as I doubt Tanner, Vyner, Dickie or Lebel were up for it? That’s all we had. If James had taken it and missed I’d imagine you’d be saying “why didn’t Bell take one - he’s a striker” Would prefer to put the pressure taker at 4 usually, you don't want to gamble on 5 not taking a penalty, it happened to Salah before being stuck at 5. a 3-0 rarely happens so you don't need to worry about number 3 as much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that most fans expectations at the start of the season would be that our season would be pretty much over by now. Not that as a player or a coach you’d see it that way. It’s all about the next game and improving performances week on week and striving for the consistency that you need to have a chance of getting out of this very tough league. i say tough, unless you’ve just come down from the prem that is. As fans we need to do the same. Dust ourselves down and go again for the next game. Edited February 7 by Show Me The Money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyD68 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Unlucky lads, better team lost on the night but can be proud of the performances throughout the tournament. Might even be a blessing in disguise, if we’re to have the tiniest chance of edging close to the top 6 we’re going to need a fully fit squad and time to recover. A cup run might not allow that.. not that I think we’re really in the mix for top 6 but trying to look at the positives ey win 3 or 4 on the bounce and who knows!

tin Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) Good performance against a complacent Forest side, and we had enough chances to have won that without it going to pens. How Wells doesn’t score, I don’t know. Cornick was reaching a bit for his chance, but if James gets his knee over the ball for his chance that bursts the net - like it did at Millwall earlier this season. It’s done and dusted now and we need to transfer this type of performance into the league. Only Blackburn have got fewer points than us in the last six games. That must change.
