Positives from yesterday

[BrianWade4]

We were crying out for some width so I disagree

Absolutely this

LuaLua completely lost

Positives from yesterday? They haven't restricted the parking in the place where I park (not telling you where!). Not many others to be fair .... O'Grady looked pretty good ... for an Irishman ...

Ha! I also have a secret, unrestricted parking place which I am not revealing

Mine's a 45 min walk to the ground. You?

 

[Brighton Mod]

I thought Lualua was a success in his more central position.

I watch and I wonder about KLL, has a chance to break and throws himself on the floor, another chance to break and stops turns backwards and passes the ball sideways, still overhits crosses, his shooting is still pot luck and he still only has one, lets slow down the game trick which intelligent defenders work out quickly. Thought he was appalling yesterday, cannot see what managers see in him.

Couldn't agree more with you

20 minutes!

For once having a manager that saw us go down to 10 men and had the tactical nouse to bring off a defender for a forward and go 3 at the back to try and salvage something from a game

Wasn't his best game, but far from "appalling". I think he's far better out wide, but it seems that under this latest system only the full backs (or are they now wing backs) are out wide. Not sure that's the smartest idea in the world when your best crossers of the ball should be your wingers who are now playing narrow. Confused? I am.

It was much better and simpler when we had:
Goalie
Right Back; Left Back
Right Half; Centre Half; Left Half
Right Wing; Inside Right; Centre Forward; Inside Left; Left Wing

I understood that ... and I think so did the players!!

Negatives: we did not have Buckley until it was too late.

I haven't seen us play better than that under Hyppia.

 

[AlastairWatts]

Pretty tasty. Fish/scampi or chicken bites and chips around £6-£6.50. Service slow but probably no worse than inside the ground. Definitely a positive.
Sat and ate next to the van and slightly disturbing to see plenty of fat Owls fans pissing behind the van.

There's a really good chippy just past the Hikers (Bikers?) Rest on the left, run by a fairly stroppy lady but it's real quality stuff and reasonably priced....

Players in the seventies would have understood but not the bunch of under performing es we have now

 

[knocky1]

Positive. We are not a cricket team and it finished on 95 minutes. Imagine watching that from 11 to 6.30 every day for 5 days. shouldn't play football in the cricket season anyway.

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Was easier to get a drink after the game & still loads of pies left.

Precisely.

It was nice and sunny!

 

[somerset]

It was less crowded in the Railway Bell due to the boycott.....I heard it was impossible to get served in the Standard.

 

[father_and_son]

Was the food any good, and how was it priced?

Burgers MUCH nicer than last season

20 minutes!

Give it up pal. Go on !! I will be VERY grateful
