Frustrating. Should really have won the match with the chances we had but despite that managed to somehow fall 2-0 behind. Obviously happy with a point from that position but still feels like a couple dropped overall especially with other results going against us.
Finally, a win again...too little too late? Perhaps, but it was a promising performance, although Allsop continues to be unconvincing in goal. The goal is to stay within touching distance before the game in hand against Coventry...could be a very important match for both sides, or both sides are already on the beach by then. The games are coming fast now. Good results for Blackburn, Stoke, Wednesday, and Huddersfield down the bottom.
Yawn. Hit the bar 3 times, Brizzle’s keeper had a worldy but the atmosphere was just shite today. Having nothing to play for is so boring Struggled to motivate myself to go today and wish I hadn’t bothered in the end
I thought West Brom would be cruising by now but they've drawn 3 winnable games in a row. Suddenly 2 positions in the top 6 looking very obtainable.
I think West Brom are too far away from us, especially considering they should beat Rotherham and Sunderland in their next two matches at home.
Only saw the second half but apparently we were even worse in the first so glad I missed it. Looked poor I thought, leggy. Have to give Norwich credit, we walked blindly into the trap with little fuss. Would like to see Taylor getting a few starts now, Luongo in particular has struggled the last few games. Anyway, many thanks to Coventry for the favour.
I was shocked at how late McKenna left bringing on Al-Hamadi, although I guess it could have been Ramadan related. Don't know if it was injury related or just a poor game but Moore offered next to nothing today. The moment Al-Hamadi got on our defenders actually had to start thinking about their defending. Next up Sheffield Wednesday away. Now there's a banana skin.
Ali needs surgery on an abductor. Putting it off until the summer. Had to play a hour or something the other night due to Moore’s injury. Big Kieff obviously struggling today as well, he’s a trooper though. Don’t know how far off Hirst is but we could really do with him and Burns.
He's certainly inconsistent in that area but offers so much elsewhere that I'm sure somebody will take the plunge on him if we don't get promoted in the next couple of years. He's still relatively young (turned 24 in Feb) and whilst he's never going to be Dimitar Berbatov there's still plenty of time to work on it. Even as soon as this summer I'd be surprised if there wasn't Bundesliga interest. Honestly don't really care where he ends up, I'm just enjoying him whilst he's here. Whilst I've been watching we've always done well with a big, less fashionable number 9. Be it Iwan Roberts, Grant Holt or Cameron Jerome.
Didn't think it was that bad of a game tbh. I witnessed Cardiff 0 Blackburn 0. Very pleased with a point, was a free hit for us and actually we did very well overall in this game. When was the last time Southampton didn't score in the league? Must be some while ago? Shows how much better organised we are defensively. We also had some chances and our press and counter attack was decent. The team worked really hard and that was good to see. Couple of scares, 1 off the post and a goal-line clearance but definately value for the point. Southampton travelled in good numbers. Glad to see Armstrong getting the reception he deserved on return too.
It was a poor game between two poor teams. The fact your club gave our reject MOTM summed it up, he probably touched the ball four times. It's easy to defend against RMs boring football, just hold shape and we'll pass back to our goalkeeper. He won't be sacked when we lose in the POs but he will be sacked when we start next season poorly with a far weaker side. He cannot take criticism, saw it first hand today him react to fans booing him at FT. Wake up Russell, you've failed. This side should be in the autos race.
I swear it's the hope that kills you We scored 3 Vs Cardiff and still lost, ok 2 were OG but then go on to beat Leeds who have been on a great run. Championship is the best but most frustrating league. We have an almost impossible mountain to scale, I think we need 4 wins and a draw from our last 6. Considering we have Ipswich, Southampton & Hull still to play, it would need something special. A cheeky semi Vs Man Utd to throw in the mix just to make it a bit sweeter.
Another late goal conceded. I reckon if the game was only 80 minutes we’d be top six by now. Hello League One.
Can I just reiterate, drunkenly, that Millwall are spineless tossers. And yes, that includes Neil Harris, my childhood hero, who decided to sit 11 men behind the ball at 0-0 at 70 mins, when neither side looked like scoring.
