Indy 3,217 Posted February 1, 2020 Not looking good, West spam, Watford & Bournemouth all 2-0 up. As it stands we’ll be 8 points from safety. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All the Germans 1,069 Posted February 1, 2020 I blame Byram. He knows we play out, he should have expected the ball but was on his heels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drazen Muzinic 1,421 Posted February 1, 2020 How many more times are we going to get it into the 6 yard box. Crap tackle from Cantwell. Needs replacing for VRancic or Emi. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well worth a yellow. However, he hasn't been good so far. Edited February 1, 2020 by All the Germans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,420 Posted February 1, 2020 Quite a typical game from us. Better stats on number of attacks, corners and possession but still we can't score. The game is there for the taking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,066 Posted February 1, 2020 45 minutes to save the season. Crap game between 2 bang average sides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertociNCFC 91 Posted February 1, 2020 Another half of wasted chances unfortunately, been well in control for most of the game but looking nervous as we approach the box. I would test out Buendia in the 2nd to give us a little more flair in the final 3rd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kanadyan Kanary 118 Posted February 1, 2020 Good first half performance with plenty of chances created. Should have scored at least one. No real standout players for me. Not seen much from Ruup and when he has had the ball he has played it backwards. Emi for Ruup would be my preference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jumping under bouncing balls, misplacing passes and not really offering anything positive in a half we've dominated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuzzar 1,701 Posted February 1, 2020 I think McLean has been okay. He's good in the air in that position and always looks to get forward on the half turn. Cantwell would be my change, isn't displaying enough effort when tracking back. Emi or Hernandez on, their defence can def be got at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All the Germans 1,069 Posted February 1, 2020 If we still need a goal and Vrancic and Buendia are still on the bench on 75 minutes, I think I may explode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,420 Posted February 1, 2020 For once I want to see a half time or 60th minute sub.... I would like two subs before the 80th and certainly not when we concede. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,471 Posted February 1, 2020 Look incredibly nervous. I think I'd take Rupp & Todd off for Emi & fit Mario in (somewhere!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I fear Farke will do exactly that, we're playing well so he wont change it, despite the fact Todd is off colour today and should be subbed at half time for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't disagree but his 'tackle' (foul) was definitely a good decision to stop the break. It's traditionally what we've not done enough of. I'd give him 10 - 15 minutes of the second half and take him off then if he hasn't improved. Edited February 1, 2020 by All the Germans 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 4,915 Posted February 1, 2020 I think we are clearly the better side so far, but it’s the Danny Murphy thing again - we haven’t been able to convert that into goals - and my heart is in my mouth every time they get near our box. As many have said, we’re crying out for Emi, Vrancic, good as he can be, will be too lightweight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
