DCJonah Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Not a terrible result. But can see this leading to a run of winless games. Not a crisis, just a concern. Another week that show the self congratulations pat on the backs to be premature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Brentford are only 10 points behind us, you have to give him credit with the resources he has. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Im dumbfounded by his selections again. There is no plan B. Onomah is not upto it.. not at Villa. He just doesnt try. I would rather Callum O'Hare play. He may be a good player at Tottenham one day but to me it appears he doesnt want to be here. He is not an attacking player anyway. No Grealish or Adomah.. then Snodgrass goes off. We are left with Onomah Bikir to create something? Going 3 up top is one thing but who will create for them? Take off your best set piece taker? Would have preferred he take off Onomah or Bikir.. or even Mile. We couldnt retain possession. Bench.. Surely O'Hare or RHM would have been better options on the wing.. even Blackett Taylor.. rather than having two central midfielders outwide.. we had no width or pace in the side. Positives.. Grabban looked good. Thats about it really. Looks like we wont have Adomah and Grealish for the weekend either.. possibly no Snoddy now either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 That game proves to me that Bruce needs to go (the second he hopefully gets us promoted) in the summer.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Adomah and Snodgras out to then can't see where the goals are coming from, Injuries have f**ked us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it always safety first, we don't deserve to go up automatically. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest from what I've seen of O'Hare and RHM I think they would have really struggled tonight and have been totally bullied out the game. This was one of the most physical teams in the league aided by a ref that seemed to think it was a game from the 80s. Really suited them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Our success this season depends entirely on Jack Grealish. We've got no tactics ever. Grealish makes it all happen. Bruce out whether we go up or not. He's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, I’ll think tonight will be perceived as a much worse result if we don’t pick up a couple of wins in the next week or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 His changes were more positive. But why have 45 minutes - after the poor second half on Saturday - before trying to be more aggressive and positive. That cautious approach cost us any hope last year, and it could be our undoing again. We can’t wait for two players to be fit before we go for games, The preference for industry over ability is unecessary and unproductive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to get his act together again smartish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
