Need Coady ASAP,  shouldn't be losing any home game against the crap in this league.

Genuinely don't think having coady would have made the least difference.  Hull didn't threaten our defence, the goal was a fluke and it's unlikely he'd have added any accuracy to our shooting.

[steveb]

i keep reading kdh got a lot of criticism,,,,, people defended him, why ?

 

He played like his boots were tied together, almost as useless as Ndidn`t he play crap

Hull scored and sat back, clearly a well coached plan, the goal wasn`t a fluke, it was a good run badly defended and a bit of good luck on a well struck deflected shot.

The problem was we were clueless what to do about it. Couple of individual efforts end of story

We had numerous better chances and didn't get that luck. Admittedly we shouldn't be relying on luck, but there really wasn't anything amazing about what they did.

Would it have gone in without the deflection?

So a poor team incapable of amazing beat us, whats going to happen when we play the teams who can deliver amazing occasionally ?

who knows, would they have sat back and defended for most of the game if it hadn`t ?

We'll win because we'll be better by then.

I`m chill dude, but i`m not seeing amazing, potential maybe, but riding our luck so far against mediocre opposition with lots of other teams banging in far more goals than us

The shot was a fluke by virtue of the fact that had the defender not been there it would have been straight at hermansen - it literally only went in because of a ricochet that could have gone any where.  He turns doyle well, but it's a weak shot that would never have troubled hermansen.

who knows, maybe it would have gone under him, lap of the Gods, simple fact is he did well , got his shot away, we defended badly then barely responded to get back in it

There's a reasonable arguement that Fatawu's shot on to the post was far superior in technique and application than Delap's - and they were from pretty similar positions.

Delap hits his straight at a defender and it ends up in the net, Fatawu's curls round the defender, beats everyone but ends up about an inch away from bouncing off the post into the goal.  One of those days.

I agree, a draw would have been fair on a dismal game, but his next attempt went into row z, personally i like him nd he was one of the few that made real effort

If hermansen couldn't have saved the shot then he's a worse keeper than ward, it was a weak shot that he kicked straight at a defender - 99 times out of 100 that is not a goal.

I don't think there was a lack of effort from any of the players - in fact, they worked really hard -  it was just poor decision making and poor execution in the final third that was the problem

I agree….Personally I think we’ll start slipping down the league…..we’ve been poor so far and lucky to win all the games and yet to face anyone half way decent….I hope I’m wrong but I think this Enzo guy has zero management credentials.

the real points are how many attempts had the league leading home team had on goal by then ,, yep 0, and how badly , yet again was their goal defended

Was going in but closer to the keeper so could have saved it?

Daka should definitely score for fun in this league, just like how he did it with Red Bull before joining us.

...I would be surprised if he can be effective in this setup!!!

We do not attack at pace, he needs the play to be at a higher tempo and the ball moved quicker, and not all defenders back in position.. I know he is a skillful player, but he does not show that in the way he has performed so far, but he will have to adjust his game significantly to fit in to this way that we play,

So running around like headless chickens is acceptable ? So long as they run round. Oddly i clearly remember seeing people walking several times and i mean the ones on the pitch not the ones leaving 5 mins early

I didn't say that i was responding to your suggestion that fatawu was the only one making an effort?

[Lillehamring]

Anybody hear an explanation of how Greaves appeared to be booked twice, but didn't get a red?

He wasn't booked twice, it was Coyle, Vinagre, the number 5 and Delap in the book before his booking.
