Keep it on-topic and within the rules – see the forum rules if unsure.

 

[luffenhamblade]

We definitely did.

Couldn't score ourselves and conceded one goal.

That's kind of how the sport works.

I said deserve, not it didn't happen! So much better than we have been this season.

 

[The Crab]

Unlucky that, a point would have been fair

 

[Cuypers]

Yes, a real kick in the nuts, but I’m heartened by that. Played much more like a team, and something to build on.

 

[ThatJa]

Shit subs cost us

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Second best every game

 

[SB_90]

that's football in a nutshell.

play awful & outplayed by cardiff, Bolton, Norwich & blackburn. take 7pts from 4 games

for the 1st time this season. i thought we were great & we lose in the last min

 

[Keen Blade]

Their first clean sheet of the season and we've barely had a shot, story of the season

Wise choice to get me gardnin' done before Greek hols.
That lonely drive back over the hills is so shit when we've lost.
I'm so looking forward to me international break

 

[ComedyClub]

Decent performance all things considered. Lack of firepower will be our downfall.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Should have had Phillips finishing the game, and started Doherty, with Choudhury CM then replacing Doherty at RWB

 

[sportsmanblade]

Tanganga running to the line instead of jus following his man cost us that strip him of the captaincy

 

[espoo blade]

I hate to be celebration police, but the fact Wolves celebrated like they've secured promotion says a lot. We gave them a tough match, an improved performance and hopefully something we can build on.

 

[Ron_Justice]

Tough one to take, thought for the vast majority we deserved a result. Can't really say too much about 'the quality off their bench' other than Tripper's late movement was good, but everything else about their goal was lucky. A deflection, into Doyle, a scuffed shot to Jimenez. All in the blink of an eye. Just think we got undone by one.

 

[Half Bond Jls]

You know what, that's looking more and more like a Sheffield United team.

In the long run , our points will reflect our performances.

 

[Blacksea]

Thought we looked what we are,a bottom 8 side.
We never looked like controlling the game and they were bang average and were there for the taking..Could have been 2 down in the first 20 minutes,dodged a penalty decision, and when we decided to go for it,the gaps actually opened up for them,so we tried to shut it down again about 15 minutes later.

 

[AdamSufc1997]

No decent shots. Think we just looked very average all game tbh. Don’t even look like scoring

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

Deserved a point. Finally played a system that should work with a few tweaks like Donovan where Arblaster played.

Just crap we threw the point away

 

[Roygbiv]

In fairness, it's a last minute winner and they probably don't realise how bad we are. We still have a reputation of being a strong team in this league even if it's currently not true.

 

[bakeblade]

There probably is no place for Donovan in this 5-3-2 system. He's not a centre forward and he's not a central midfielder.

He's got pace though and against a team pushing up that's what you need

 

[Red Wing Blade]

Far, far better than the rest of the season - have you actually watched us?

I agree it was better, but for me the sub decisions let us down. Why take Phillips off and not Arblaster, who literally did nothing all game? Why not bring on Donovan and maintain the pressure we were putting them under instead of Rothwell? It felt like we we threw away a deserved point by easing off Wolves and inviting pressure into us for the last 15 minutes.

Their quality was always likely to shine as they pretty much beat us in every position except for between the sticks. I doubt any of their would swap any of our starting line up for theirs but for Cooper, while we'd snap their hands off for some of their players. We did well to give them a game but it felt to me like the sub decisions cost us a deserved point. I'd rather see us lose trying to win then watch us trying to see out games and losing.

 

[CoatesyBlade]

I know we lost… and I’m gutted! Especially what with the manner of the goal and it being the 90th minute!! But… that was 1000x better than it has been. Something to build one there definitely we looked a lot more structured, we just need to work on the final 3rd more!

Not a massive criticism per se but I have to mention Ayew. Thought he looked decent for 5mins but then offered absolutely nothing. It was strange to go with Ayew and not Donovan.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Well, that was agonising. I thought we played really well.

He ran out of steam unfortunately

 

[Shawy24]

Now correct me if I’m wrong here. But didn’t our glorious leader insist we signed these slow aging players for their experience in not throwing away points at the death?

 

[Constantly Optimistic...]

Thought it was the best we have played. Controlled passing, and defending from halfway line in the first half. We just went into ourselves last 10 minutes and defended from 25 yards. Always ends in giving way a goal. Not much created, but liked the Arblaster, Peck Philips midfield. Final third we were poor, as always. Oh how I wish for a Dean and Agana again. Wolves have a team of stars and will click into gear soon. .

 

[Ron_Justice]

Looked cohesive for large parts of the game. Pace in the final third would have seen us make more chances. Not disheartened at all by that, I thought we'd get hammered today TBH. I actually feel that if we can put those pieces together v's the majority of the league, we'll be top half at a cantor.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Phillips did well though? Who knows if he was sub again. Plenty were asking for him to start however playing him 90 seems a risk right now. If he gets through the next week I suspect we will see him play longer

 

[Champagneblade]

Initial thoughts we didn’t get the rub of the green at all.

Little decisions like the foul on McCallum that went their way. Their centre half should have received a second yellow on 60 minutes for pulling back Peck. That could have swing a marginal game.

The goal I’d like to see again because at the exact moment Doyle strikes the ball, I thought Jimenez was in an offside position.

Before folks go in on the subs we have to remember some of these are coming back from injury. All well and good saying why did he take Phillips off? Isn’t it obvious? Because we don’t want him missing for three months. Same comment goes for Arblaster. Doherty was being called from all sides to give Choudhury a rest. McCallum taking a knock needed Rhys. Only questionable one was perhaps Ayew and Cannon where perhaps Donovan could have added some pace. But then again both Ayew across goal and Cannon, on a couple of occasions had half chances to score.

Play like that against lesser teams and we can have no complaints.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Seen people say Donavon can't fit into the 5 3 2 but surely a roving role down the channels upfront would work for him especially in games we are on the counter?

 

[Ron_Justice]

Now correct me if I’m wrong here. But didn’t our glorious leader insist we signed these slow aging players for their experience in not throwing away points at the death?

What could they have done about a series of chaotic mishits and deflections? Trippier's movement gave them a chance, but they fluked their goal.
