Ryan. Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 O'neils dodgy tactics cost us, what on earth was he thinking? He completely cut out our midfield forcing us to hoof it, shocking move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark8691 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 MON having serious contretemps with tactics! Seriously, he lost us the game today.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 We were on a good run, it's a pity we lost today but it happens. Lets hope we can get a good performance against City. Blackburn were due a win against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted September 26, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted September 26, 2009 OBE's post in the match thread summed it up for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KT3AVFC Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Suspect that this one won't be a MON love in. Took a chance not playing NRC and going 442. As we lost it means he got it wrong. Hopefully he will not continue cutting off his nose to spite his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 now for the over reaction Yeah sure the "doom merchants" will probably be out but we can't just overlook the problem. I love MON as much as next man but today he did probably lose us the game. 5-4-1 always seems to work better for us, why not just stick to that? Heskey on for Delph?! Just utterly stupid. Then he says the rift between him and NRC is over, yet he refuses to play him! I definitely don't want MON out and he has got many great qualities as a manager but the game today brought up a lot of questions on his ability.

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I don't want him out, he's the right man for us. But today O'Neill made me more mad with him than I have ever been before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompedyret Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Somehow my preference leans towards not losing games, so this thingly, nagging feeling is probably disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emma_villan1 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Poor result, Carew looks lazy to me for some of the game he goes missing. But when he brought on Heskey for Delph that was the end of the game for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olejniker Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 The Delph substitution was the turning point of the game. We never looked the same offensively after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowandlow Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 yet another below par performance, only blackburn are better than blues, fulham (away from home) and pompey so we came out with what we deserved - **** all petrov in a 442 is a joke, made dunn look like pele petrov should be benched if we are going to persist with 442 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 More disappointed today than the Wigan defeat. Only listened on the radio but it sounded pretty shite. Undone by what sounds a pretty dodgy penalty award but we should have been well clear by then against 10 men, and a team who had only picked up 4 points before today. I am now going to switch off all football programmes as I'm rather pissed off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 you win some, you lose some. some games you should win you will lose, some games you should lose you will win. i'm not that upset by one loss, our season is going pretty well so far, and i hope this was a minor blip, and we get back to our normal level in the next match.

OutByEaster? Posted September 26, 2009 Moderator Share Posted September 26, 2009 When a player has a bad game he gets criticism, even when he's a really good player. We've got a really good manager here, but he's had a stinker and it's cost us the game. I wonder if Martin will be as brave in his self assessment as Curtis Davies was.

briggaman Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 People are going to moan about anyone that complains by saying that it is an over-reaction no doubt. However, the simple fact is that today we just weren't good enough. MON got it wrong and the players just didn't have what it took to break down an average Blackburn side. I think our wins have gotten to peoples heads and they have forgotten how poor we have been in all of those wins (other than against Liverpool). It's true that the three points is the important thing, yet we really need to start playing some good football and getting results that way. We can't rely on playing poor and scraping results for the rest of the season because it won't happen. Hopefully we will bounce right back, however today has been three points dropped. I think it is down to both MON and the players. MON got the tactics wrong and the players weren't good enough. The more I see us play the more I worry about our team. We look extremely average in all honesty and I often feel that some people have claret and blue tinted specs when they say how well we have played. The players are just not up to scratch at the moment and really need to pull their fingers out. Speaking of which, when was the last time Young put in a good performance?! I don't like singling players out, however Young has been poor for a while in my opinion. Anyway, these are just my thoughts. We lost today and it feels awful, however we must move on. I just feel that we have a deeper problem though. Oh well, life goes on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
