Mowen Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Let's be honest all season we have been grinding out iffy wins because we had the best defence in the league. 75% of that defence is missing and has been replaced with loan signings. I haven't watched the game so I don't know the defence has cost us today but how many times have we leaked 3 goals this season? Against West Brom we had a sending off, prior to that it has never happened. You give all the credit to the defence and totally disregard the fact that Hughton opted for a 4-5-1 in a lot of those games? How come? Smith is clearly going to have to be in there without fail. He's not great but I dunno ... maybe that goofy scowl actually gets to some of the opposition. Away from home if we do play a 4-4-2 Nolan can under no circumstances be one of the two. If Nolan plays then it has to be a 4-5-1. Otherwise I'm not sure it will matter who is in our back four to be honest with you. but in those games we've been gradually getting worse, our performances for a couple of months have been pointing to this result. It's definitely been coming. Makes you wonder why everyone's so shocked. I think the game on friday got us all giddy again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I have to say, it's quite funny seeing the retractions after we all wanted this lineup. Myself included tbh. Maybe it was just one of those games? It sounded like it to me. Its natural frustration man. Nothing to be surprised at. We are probably all asking how the hell it could have happened. Has to keep the same team again for me (barring injuries). Keep the continuity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Enrique is the big miss. Not only are we weaker at the back, but Jonas is half the player without him. or rather we are more productive on the left with jose as jonas will just hold the ball till jose gets past him.

KaKa Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 still 4 points ahead of third with that game in hand, so has the potential to be 7. It'd be nice to win the league, but as long as we finish top 2, I'm chuffed. Can't take the playoffs. The playoffs would be inhumane. Just totally unbearable. Can't even fathom it.

Mowen Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Apologies I've been downstairs with the old man filling paper work and watching Man City. How did we perform? Any dodgy decisions? The penalty sounded a weird one. Ref didn't give anything, it was the linesman who flagged. Worst commentary I've ever heard, he was describing it for about 20 seconds before he mentioned it was a penalty that had been given. As he said it was Carroll I thought it might be on the halfway line or something and he was just whinging about double standards. I was so pissed off I was genuinely blaming Lowes for us giving away a penalty, I was raging with him. The fucker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they do well we perform at average in the next game, seems mental. They obviously take it to easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Just on my way home it was one of those games guys frustrating no bounces going our way officials shocking. To sum up Simpson gutierrez didn't look fit savage should have been sent never a pen they didn't give us a second officials awful and I mean awful never a pen the linesman gave it liven needed to be on earlier juries out on best hall looked good just one of those games guys howay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Poor result - not seen the goals and couldn't listen to the match for technical reasons but does sound like Hughton was found wanting in the tactical department tonight. Coming on the back of such a great victory on Friday night, a result like this kind of stings. Still, 17 games to go, and we still have a game in hand on the Baggies, so perhaps this will help focus minds in the changing room for Saturday against Swansea. Could this be the start of the inevitable slide down the table that sees us end up in the play-offs by the end of the season? Of course not. Onwards and upwards.

Has to keep the same team again for me (barring injuries). Keep the continuity. Nah nah, like I said I'm looking for a real explanation too considering this line is the one I want. I cant see one other than it being an off day, the defence being shit, derby being a voodoo team Or the need for Shola and Lovenkrands. I'd keep the same midfield and backline, switch up the forward 2 depending on the opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hughton got found out, then so did half of the fans on here. However, he could have made better subs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I really will be annoyed if Nolan starts against Swansea, I mean he's done nothing since Christmas- He dosen't contribute goals, he dosen't do anything noteworthy, he's just a big figure in the dressing room who slows down the midfield.
