Stevo985 Posted February 8, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 8, 2019 Amazing that we got a point tonight. Full credit for the fightback. The worrying part though is we were utterly dreadful for 85 minutes tonight. Chuffed with the point in the end, but there are serious issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Great comeback, but doesn’t gloss over the performance at 3-0 down, needs to make changes next game, 2nd worse goals conceded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Should have been 5 - 2 at least. Two, possibly three penalties not given and the 2nd goal shouldn't have stood. Robbed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm chuffed to bits, but like I said above, let's not pretend that wasn't absolute toilet for 85 minutes (and the past couple of months). But if we score 3 goals in 5 minutes every week I won't be complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 So... Now that we salvaged a point, had a stonewall penalty turned down, and have gotten screwed over by the ref for their 2nd goal, is everyone still Smith Out???? haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With our squad, with the money spent, getting outplayed and thrashed, at home, barely creating a chance. Abject and embarrassing. THRASHED. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam3773 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Mad game. We were awful. One of their goals shouldn't have stood, we should have had two penalties but we got the point. Unfortunately it doesn't and shouldn't take away from the performance. Which was dire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I am delighted with that last ending. Full respect to the team for going on. But for 70 minutes we were **** appalling, and had no style. That was a desperate throw it at em at the end and see what happens. They panicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we’ll always carry threat going forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 We were poor but we showed tremendous character at the end. The fans that are saying Smith out.. Hang your heads in shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to somehow end up with a point after being 3 down with 10 mins to go but that is all. Edited February 8, 2019 by LakotaDakota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted February 8, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 8, 2019 I truly hope that this result has the exact opposite shock value effect that the Baggies/Leeds result had. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few results knocked the stuffing out of us - notably Albion, Leeds and Forest. This gives him something to build from. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before that joke of a second goal was given, we were well on top and it made us lose any momentum we had. After getting the wind knocked out our sails we fought back well given we were playing against 12 men. Edited February 8, 2019 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 No coincidence that you get lazy bastard Kodja and statuesque Jed off bring more peace and energy on and we get back in the game. DS wants more energy and peace in the middle of the park we haven't got it yet. Have to say Mings was very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a skeptic to begin with, but I have seen enough of him to know that he is not a chancer. Pre season is going to be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
