AK - dire, Bruno, Bong, Gross all really poor. Shocking team performance , can’t defend, can’t do anything in final third

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

Pathetic performance and result. With nailed on defeats coming up against Chelsea and Southampton we’ll be deep in the relegation zone by the end of the month.

Nailed defeat against Southampton? Seriously ? They have been pisspoor recently too - then again so were Brom b4 we played them!

 

[Washie]

What kept us going was our team mentality, everybody seemed to play for each other. that seems to be gone now, why?

 

[neilbard]

Not wishing to sound negative, but we were shite with a extra helping of shite and a side order of shit.

 

[OzMike]

We take too long trying to set up a goal, just shoot.

Hard to spin any positives from that defeat, it puts us right in the shit now. Its boring constantly repeating the need for some new strikers but its been a requirement for so long now its just ridiculous.

 

[trueblue]

that feck that watford came back to hold southampton

By punching the ball into the net apparently. Thankfully no VAR...

Time for bed, nighty night.

Nasty day, good night and good luck.

We take too long trying to set up a goal, just shoot.

As soon as Jose went off the pace was gone. We spend forever building up, never a fast break. We need some new plans, its all too easy. Get a corner and you get a goal against us, have a few people in the box and we will never deliver a ball or have a shot.

Still believe there are three teams in this league worse than us, still believe we’ve got a great core to the side. However, I’ve come to realise that, much as we love him, Knocky isn’t PL standard, CH clearly doesn’t rate Baldock, and that we NEED at least one if not two more attacking threats. And, sadly, another RB and LB. Pains me to say it as I love Bruno, but he looked his age today.

The club as a whole need to work harder from today onwards.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Norwood just scored in the 95 th minute against boro ...pen. Hahhahahha

See, things are looking up already!

 

[AmexRuislip]

What was all this about, involving the ref eventually talking to the managers?

 

[Hamilton]

That was rubbish!

Why the hell did Chris take Izquierdo off for the 2nd half. Madness. March nowhere near as good.

And we have to stop playing this predictable game of crossing the ball into the box for Murray when we are up against a big back 4. One man against an army of defenders.

We take so long to attack, giving the opposition an age to organise, and we're shot shy.

Today, we were clueless. Chris has to have a rethink and we simply must strengthen or we will go down. We are now easy to work out.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

I do wonder, when they spend 5-10 hours a week training against set pieces whether Bruno is told to stop wrestling his man to the ground and watch the f'kin ball? If so, why does he decide to resort to the aforementioned come game time?

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

We cannot defend corners, we keep giving the ball away, giving away cheap free kicks, when in attack poor decision making, poor crosses in the box, poor shooting, not scoring.

Something needs to change and very soon or we'll be relegated.

6 away games in a row without a goal. Most disappointing result of the season.

Hard to disagree with any of that. Knocky completely useless, March nothing, Bruno always a liability, Bong unable to defend headers. Stephens, Gross and Propper too slow to make things happen. Murray offside and Ryan too short to command his area at corners.

Hughton doesn't change anything, we are toothless yet concede too easily.

This will be a struggle unless the club act now to bring new blood in, not just upfront.

I really fear a whimper to the bottom.

1 shot on target all match.


Bollox, time for Barber to pull a rabbit out of a hat.

Time for barber to stop sprouting shite and get real

Sobering to see that only bottom of the table Swansea have scored less goals than us. Can't see us staying up if we don't solve the goalscoring crisis.
