Parsley Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Slightly better 2nd half But what is Keegan thinking not bringing on Zoggy when we were on top, and then bringing him on for Martins! FFS God if he had brought Zoggy on for Geremi the snail and maybe Duff for Barton we might have got 3 points, but no were happy just with the 1 point Get a f****** grip, Birmingham were there for the taking and we copped out! Lightweight c***s Would rather take a point than risk another Blackburn tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 So we do have some bollocks! Owen, Martins, Geremi and Enrique played very well 2nd half. Butt didnt do badly either. Barton worried me, everytime he looked like he was going to do something positive he made a stupid mistake, I was never confident when he was on the ball.

ElDiablo Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 The fact we equalised and got better as the game went on was encouraging. I know Viduka didn't do much going forward but having him in the side is massive, we must keep Martins, Owen and Viduka starting. If we do and have a go against Fulham I think we'll beat them.

Tachikoma Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 It was obvious from Martins' play (and reaction to the substitution) that he was regaining a bit of confidence. I've never seen a player as reliant on it. Aye, which makes taking him off even more bewildering, and we really should have brought Zoggy on for the second half much, much earlier than that, since we weren't really dominating the game until Keegan told Smith to warm up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 That'll do. Taking Martins off was frustrating, but this was a crucial, crucial point. I wasn't watching it, but if we were pushing too much and then leaving ourselves open to attack, it could have been quite dangerous, and potentially disastrous. Containment when you're ten games into the season and up against the Mackems is a bit of a disgrace; but in this situation, it's probably sensible. Keeps him fresh n'all. Can't wait for Saturday. Well done boys, hard fought point. We had them pegged back and bumming them in the face. They were completely out of it by that point. Ah right, well like i say, i didn't watch it. But i mean still, regardless of how close we're getting, we're missing stacks of chances nowadays and conceding a lot and in the blink of an eye. I didn't have to see the game to think that move was a sensible one (i was listening, though); the game died and we confirmed what was a valuable point.

Thespence Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 We have a stack of poor players BUT Barton is beyond that, when he plays he is proving to be the oppositions most creative player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 A fair result all things considered. We'll beat Fulham on Saturday. Must start with Martins, Viduka and Owen for the majority of games left this season if possible. It puts teams on the back foot. Martins did well, as did Beye.

Geremi had a good game, didnt look overly slow, and in all honesty i can understand why he didnt make any changes when we were on top at the risk of fucking things up.

Dave Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Owen actually hit a few shots quicker than a bowling ball in treacle tonight, which made a change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing it safe and settling for points with our defence will be the death of us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chris P Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Good point and the lads actually looked like they cared 2nd half also not a sniff of smith woohoo!!! I think Martins might be ready to destroy Fulham all on his own, might of been a good move by Kev get him wound up totally agree.. in terms of the next game. and as we know it's all tactics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Can't believe he took Martins off, alhough to be honest, I thought you lost the impetus before that. The match looked like what it was - two sides shit scared of getting relegated. Very cagey indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 All in all if it wasn't for individual errors - Faye fucking up, Owen missing a good chance and for me Viduka failing to play in Owen or Martins when he was through, we would of won the game. Very positive for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Skeletor, this was a very important point. As people have said, it's not the right circumstances to be throwing it all at them, like you'd expect much earlier in the season. Not in my opinion, anyway. Frustrating, aye, but the key aim was four points and we're well on the road to that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
