Wow, way to go to show what a tulip you are.  There’s two sides out there and it’s not only what we do that matters. Ill settle for sitting in 7th going into the final quarter of the season - it looked like that would’ve been a pipedream a couple of months ago.

Their keeper closed Sargent and Fassnacht down well. Sargent got a shot off, Fass failed to take the ball round him. That was about it, iirc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spillay 180 Posted February 24 I know il probably get caned for this but we missed Barnes, more to the point Barnes/Sarge from the start today, the intensity those two bring when starting seems to inspire the rest, seems one without the other just doesnt work, Sarge had I think one decent chance all game. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beat Hull, fail to beat qpr, beat cardiff, looking unlikely to beat Blackburn. We're further adrift of the top 6 if.it stays like.this He seems to intent in putting McLean in that he brings unnecessary pressure, as a ball playing centre half he doesn't need to drop deep, as a defensive midfielder or whatever he's supposed to be he drop between the centre and draws pressure that's not needed. Either play him as a centre half or stop him from dropping and we then don't have to play so deep. That game screamed SvH and then he makes the subs he did.

No, I think that's fair. By the time Barnes came on, Sarge looked knackered. But Barnes did create one half chance for him in that time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â No thanks, what we really missed was McLean at the back, he far better and more effective there than Hanley or Gibson! Â 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,460 Posted February 24 Up to 7th mind! But without Nunez, oh dear. Pray tonight it was just a tweak rather than a snap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 1,136 Posted February 24 Didn't look very sharp up front today, thought we had some excellent opportunities that we would have taken last week. A point away is alright, keeps the unbeaten run going as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A K Narey 104 Posted February 24 I know that a point away from home is always a half decent result but this one does feel like 2 points dropped. Still, if we win next weekend... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,297 Posted February 24 Got to be honest.. I know we’ve beaten both recently, but West Brom and especially Hull have more than us overall and we’re still and outside chance for top six IMO. Losing Rowe and now Nunez will cost us sadly.  1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JonnyJonnyRowe 472 Posted February 24 Scrappy game. Obviously would have been helpful to win considering other results went our way, but remember Blackburn have a new manager and are harder to beat under Eustace. 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat under him now, and only conceded 5 goals in 5 games. Not a complete disaster.

Barnes was decent in the first 5 games after that fell off a cliff in form and even worse after his injury! Bar a 20 Minute off the bench decent performance he’s just trying to thug up the opposition and some of our fans like that I don’t! He’s a bit part player with his best way behind him, there’s no way our club should be reliant on such a player, just my opinion, I’d much rather see us building for the future and blooding VH.

Annoying that they are said to have only paid £1.5m for him, and he's from Colchester so clearly would have chosen us over them. For a while it felt like we were first in the queue for the Peterborough talent but Webber was too stubborn to be conventional. Drury. McKenzie, Bennett etc. Edited February 24 by JonnyJonnyRowe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
