Welcome to the wilderness years

Should have mullered them tonight. Can’t see us winning a game against the top 6 for the rest of the season.

 

[FTPE]

Eh? Their keeper was man of the match.

 

[Barney]

Not with that attitude we won't

 

[JJ Sefton]

We need to

1 - Stop letting people shoot from the edge of our box

2 - Shoot from the edge of the oppo's box once in a while

3 - Run at the centre halfs more often rather than looking to work it wide or backwards

[Lane Ender]

Pleased with the performance their keepers had a blinder

 

[kingy1889]

Yeah I was just thinking how poor we are?????????

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Like the other similar thread, disagree.

We played well against a good side and were unlucky to lose.

Doesn’t say much for the boards mods if a pig has been hiding in plain sight for 23k+ posts

...and stop our goalkeeper kicking it aimlessly up the pitch from goal kicks. Every time straight to a Villa player and it coming straight back at us.

Play it out from the back keeping possession ffs.

Looks like we've lost our mojo a little bit but could easily have been different tonight. Only so many times you can be the better team and not win without it affecting confidence.

trouble is that keeps happening. Didn't take our opportunities, so always vulnerable. Feel gutted, but need to take a reality check and remember how far we've come so quickly.

 

[FinchleyBlade]

Duffy, our outstanding player this season, not starting key games like this is totally beyond me.

Leonard and Evans looked tidy players but don't offer anything going forward at this level. Duffy has to play, and Brookes has to be upfront with Clarke when he gets back.

We lack creativity up top.

No matter what you say your post sounded very much S6

At least I can reply to the right fucking post.

Give over

If this is the wilderness then what was the last six years?

Disappointing night but let’s not get carried away.

 

[zablade]

First half excellent.

Second half average,

Evans looks promising. Leonard anonymous, not enough time to judge Holmes,

Leon Clarke has gone off the boil.

Defence did nothing wrong until the 90th minute when they backed off and cost us a point.

Poor subs too. Duffy and Sharp should have been the first two to come on.

 

[The Vicar]

One win in seven at home is hardly getting carried away

 

[Guesty]

One win in seven at home is hardly getting carried away

Only two league wins post Coutts. Don't get me wrong, I'm delighted with how far we've come under Wilder, but we won't make the play-offs. I suspect it won't even be close.

Wilderness years. Actual ell-ohh-ell.

Did you awake from a 10 year coma just in time for kick-off?

 

[Groucho Blade]

It’s disappointing and frustrating how we’re almost, but not quite, a very very good team.

 

[Esablade]

Yep, it’s Comedy Central tonight...

Agreed . It's either Evans or Leonard and not both leaving Evans/leonard Fleck and Duffy in Midfield .

On current form it'd be Evans for me .

This is now a bit confusing. You have just stated that your own post sounded like that of a Wednesday supporter.

I’m undecided between “fuck me” and “nice joke”?

Is beating top 6 teams a reasonable expectation for a newly promoted, cheaply assembled side?
