Out Foxed Posted 27 February Share Posted 27 February funny that 20 years ago we would have made the champions league if we'd won the games we were leading in at the 75th minute and we're ****ing up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysalis Posted 27 February Share Posted 27 February (edited) 20 hours ago, Ric Flair said: It was a combination of James and Roberts coming on and Mavididi going off. Suddenly they went from Gray having a torrid time vs Stephy and Gnonto not being in it all half down pur left side to McAteer not being strong enough in supporting Justin at all and the momentum shifted. Summerville was the quietest I've ever seen him until the final 10 minutes, I know it counts for absolutely nothing but to a man we had Leeds pinned and yet we leave no stone unturned in our pursuit of throwing away leads in such games. I remember we would often keep a knackered Mahrez on the pitch, even though was knackered his mere presence tied players down, they just couldnt risk leaving him unmarked. Mavididi knackered or not needs to stay on for 90 mins in my opinion, as it ties players up to keep him contained. Which in turn prevents a full momentum shift pressuring us at the back. This is why I made that Mavididi sub thread. Edited 27 February by Chrysalis 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillehamring Posted 27 February Share Posted 27 February 23 hours ago, iancognito said: It's not bollocks at all. We had 21 shots and only two were on target (which is being generous counting Fatawu's post rattler). They went toe to toe with us, had a few chances themselves and were the first side who didn't just sit back and defend all game. "Figuring out" attacking was a better option than parking the bus. And again, saying that could be our only defeat hardly warrants your over-reaction to how we apparently played in one game 5 months ago If a team allow their opposition to have 21 shots, that's, by any standard, really bad and not what you would expect from a team that have 'figured out' their opponent. That we only had 2 on target says nothing about Hull's tactics. If they'd figured us out they'd have nullified our attack, which clearly they didn't . As for figuring out that "attacking was a better option than parking the bus." - that's not figuring a team out, that's just a game plan that may or may not work - other teams have came at as way more than Hull did and still not won. Besides, they didn't come out 'attacking' they had 35% of the ball and just 7 shots, also this (below) is their heat map - hardly the picture of team coming out all guns blazing. They parked the bus and risked the odd counter which resulted in a lucky goal, whilst relying on our finishing being atrocious - hardly a masterplan of 'figuring out' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillehamring Posted 27 February Share Posted 27 February 20 hours ago, Bert said: I think we were still finding our feet with a brand new style of play, new personnel, with them already familiar with they way they played and their personnel. You look at those first few games, most of them we won by the odd goal and some of the teams we beat we thought we’d be in for a tough game in the reverse fixture yet many of said games, bar Coventry we’ve wiped the floor with scoring plenty. This is true, and even then we still created a ridiculous amount of chances. The reason we lost that game has nothing to do with hull as Iancognito suggests (certainly not that they worked out how to beat us), but everything to do with us misfiring.

Failing that it will have to be the 16th, 23rd or 30th April. The West Brom game might also need to be moved. Southampton will have 1 hell of an end to the season.

It seems likely, there's a reason why winning runs seldom go on this long. They looked beatable against us and against a young, mediocre chelsea side. And now the pressure (let's face it, they had nothing to lose up until the game against us) is on them it's going to be much harder to sustain the standard they've set.

If they Leeds & Ipswich don’t drop points,we just have to equal them, with a loss and a draw buffer,….or 3 draws if GD we keep the upperhand… Or if we think positive,every points loss from Leeds n Ipswich helps to better our buffer balance.. For Southampton…We have to return 3 losses and a draw,or 6 draws,or a mix thereof. Permutations,Permutations & permutations …with and without pts record… This has slapped a few in the face,that thought cynically, there is not too much in the championship or lower leagues.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally - it's in our own hands. We have a buffer if we lose or draw, for the chasing three every point dropped is two points they need to make up with one less game to do it in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of a banana skin for them, actually. A derby, and Huddersfield is looking better under Breitenreiter (who knows Farke well). Plus a short turnaround and early kickoff after a pretty intense cup tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little chance of making it has turned into next to no chance with that injury. Regardless of the injury they'll obviously turn it on when they play us next week, like they seem to do against the better teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
