Key Points Dropped and Gained

[GuangzhouBlade]

I'm well aware that every team can look back on a season and say could, of should of etc. But this season more than ever I genuinely feel we have dropped so many unnecessary points, be it through bad defending, bad tactics or bad refereeing decisions.

Middlesborugh (A)
Forest (A)
Birmingham (H)
Bolton (H)
Norwich (H)
Bristol City (H)
Villa (H)
Cardiff (H) bad defending
Barnsley (A)

are all games we have dropped 1 or 2 points which could have had us comfortably in the play offs. Yet the only points I believe we've gained when we didn't really deserve them are perhaps the very first day of the season when we beat Brentford and perhaps a draw was a fairer result. Not once this season, Bolton apart perhaps, have we had that bit of luck to snatch underserved points from a dodgy bobble or ricochet. The season isn't over yet but realistically the next two our must wins and a dodgy 1-0 will suit me fine in both. We owe Middlesborough one UTB

Yeah it's ridiculous but it's not luck when it happens so many times.

Tactically undone in the first half. Barnsley’s Centre midfield had more energy and pulled Fleck all over the place. All the play was channelled to the flanks which led to our WB’s banging in early crosses to no one in particular. CW responded to it but for me we needed Duffy in there.

Brentford (A)

Perhaps thats what Warnock or "better quality" players count for over a 46 game season. Not that I'm asking for Warnock football lets enjoy the great attacking play Wilder brings but perhaps a bit more game management and nouse is necessary.

game management. that's what we are missing totally. you don't need game management in league one. you just go up the other end and score another goal
we are new at this. we need to get our shit together quickly or we'll do a WBA next season. (carry on a downward trajectory)

To win promotion out of this league you need to be able to win games 1-0.

We haven’t done that enough and that’s not the strikers fault, we score in most games.

Agree. We need to learn to win ugly next season
