ROBFLECK 132 Posted January 29, 2009 While I was dissapointed too, I agree with what is written on the Evening News site. We can''t get complacent because of a couple of good results. I hope the points dropped will spurn Gunn and the players on to put it right on friday evening. It''s gonna be a dogfight down there and we can''t afford to be the "chihuahua" can we?I think Gunn will be sensible about the task ahead, but he''s still gotta prove it...even if he is the great Bryan Gunn...!What''s in a name in this game?

Ivana_rubyatitz 6 Posted January 29, 2009 [quote user="AJ"]Yes! It was! 2 points lost for sure![/quote]Yes, and add to that the fact that a 2-0 win for us would have had a 4 goal difference impact against a key relegation rival and I would say it was pretty bad. This is the sort of slip that costs at the end of a season of struggle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grantroederdisaster 0 Posted January 29, 2009 After being 2-0 up against a fellow relegation rivals, it was disapointing but before the Barnsley if you of been told that Norwich would get 4 pts from their next 2 games and score 6 goals in the process you''d of took it! We''ve now got to get something tomorrow night at the Keepmoat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fonejacker 0 Posted January 29, 2009 I can''t believe I am even entertaining the question ''was a draw that bad?'' Well, let me think about that one for a minute. We cannot pick up points away, so we can ill afford to drop them at home. Southampton are not topping the table. They are odds on to go down. And as much as it pains me to say it, so are we.

Mister Chops 7 Posted January 29, 2009 Yes, a draw was all that bad.If you go two goals up at home to the second bottom side in the league, especially when they were as timid and lacking in confidence as Southampton were in the first half, you close the game out.You do not let them back in the game, never mind score two goals.It was a poor second half display. Gunn got it wrong, the players got it wrong and we might look back on that result, a supposed "home banker", and regret our poor performance.I don''t see the point of the article, to be honest, unless it''s saying "reality check - we''re still crap." I would rather we had won 2-0 and walked away thinking "blimey, maybe I was wrong about Bryan Gunn." But his inability to counter Southampton''s standard 4-4-2 second half was astounding and very worrying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tangible Fixed Assets anyone? 0 Posted January 30, 2009 A draw against weak opposition is terrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Fish Seller 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Call me old fashioned but drawing after being 2 goals up at home to a dreadful team without a proper manager, a team patched together from youngsters due to the crippling financial mess that the club is in, a team staring relegation in the face for the second year running, and a team from a club in crisis really is pretty bad however you dress it up.

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted January 30, 2009 It was a game we could not afford to lose. before the game i would have said a draw was diappointing but not too bad given that they have taken @ 18 points away from home. Clearly being 2 nil up at HT it must in the end be viewed as 2 points dropped Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
