We looked like a bottom 3 side today

[Hyperion]

Poor performance, Ince and Hemed were awful.

Preston were dreadful and we couldn't beat them. The passing today was nothing short of amateurish.

Oh and to top it off, CH decided Holla was the man to put on when we really needed that goal.

I thought we looked like a team that was missing its midfield.

 

[nordicgod]

Sorry did we have a midfield?

 

[nwgull]

Take both Stephens and Kayal out of our squad for the other 12 games we possibly would be flirting with the bottom 3. Not to mention KLL and Greer.

 

[Notters]

We really didn't.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Not being there today but isn't that being just a bit over-reactive? We've beaten Preston once in our last 11 games against them, they are one of our bogey sides.

 

[Wilko]

That is what happens when some of our best players are missing. Dale, Kaz and Beram in the side today and it would be a different game.

Definitely. Next week will be a different ball game with possibly all 3 back - something we've not seen since mid Sept!

 

[LamieRobertson]

One of those days ..very flat all round ..we move on to the next game

 

[martin tyler]

Bottom 3 lol no. Lack of creativity yes. Both Kayal and Stephens can pick passes as good as any CM in this division. No Lua Lua, Murphy only just back. Basically 3 of 4 midfielders missing and the other rusty.
We looked solid, uninspired and a mid table side. Preston were no better and neither goal keeper really had to work hard. Point a fair reflection.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Certainly seemed a side without its engine today. Anyone would struggle without their two key midfielders. I was disappointed in the feebleness of our fight in the second half against a side who fought harder for a full point. We won't play perfectly at all times, but blimey that was quite dour. We'll battle back. Fingers crossed about the severity of Bong's knee injury.

 

[Hyperion]

Denial is a terrible thing. A few more of those performances and you won't be able sing that wee song you all love so much. We shouldn't have to rely on 2 ******* players to beat relegation fodder

 

[Foolg]

Home to a side who will be at the bottom end come the end of the season.

We didn't create ANYTHING at all, and had Garner not missed a very good chance we'd have lost. Hopefully that's our bad performance out of the way for a few weeks.

 

[matbha]

Was always going to happen ,cant win em all didnt lose so not all bad

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Murphy is not even Sunday League : moo:

 

[Virgo's Haircut]

I thought Ince was terrible, and we missed Kayal and Stephens badly. Holla didn't look too bad in the short time he was on. Crofts was ok, but probably need match time to get back to full fitness.

 

[Don Quixote]

No we didn't. We played badly and we still didn't get beaten.

 

[Napier's Knee]

Ok second half was uninspiring but we have a very good defence so no way we are bottom three. I thought we were good in first half - battered PNE and that with a reserve midfield. Their best player was the goalkeeper who made a couple of excellent saves in the first half.

 

[tiberious]

maybe but were top of the league by 4 points so calm down

 

[tiberious]

do you want the number for the samaritans ?
