Teasy Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Decent run out, had we been treating the game as seriously as Rangers I doubt we'd have lost it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Meh... we created a couple of decent chances. Could have drawn or even won on another day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 RB stands out like a sore thumb to any opposition. Or LB if Perch is playing there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 played well, couple of sleepy moments cost us, barton and guthrie looked rather good in cm together and shola linked up play well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Well, it has to be Carroll and Lovenkrands for me up front.. Shame we didn't see them both on the pitch today.. Can't see us playing 2 strikers next week at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 A fair few positives to take from that for me, at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Pros Some excellent passing and progressive football. Barton looking like a decent player. Routledge is dangerous. Heads didn't go down too much despite goals coming against the run of play. Cons Nolan was largely anonymous. Not good considering he's the first name on the teamsheet. Distinct lack of quality in the final third to go with our general play. Lack guile around the edge of the penalty area. Potential injuries to our most important players. Fucking hope Carroll and Enrique are okay. Perch looks worryingly pap. Overall we were pretty good all things considered IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Need a new striker, now. None of the current lot will get anywhere near double figures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Shola's link-up play hasn't been bad, tbf. We were at our most threatening with Shola and Lovens on. Rest of the time Rangers found it far too easy to defend against us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Thing is, Nolan was anonymous last season but weighed in with some vital goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Boring match Glimpses of some decent stuff but not the quality up front to make anything of it. (Ashley spend some cash you tight wanker) Thought we were the better side overall but that means nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Think we played okay, looked competent on the ball. Get a striker or mobile AM for the Nolan position and we'll look much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 First half performance was very good. We lost the 2nd half on ourselves - it was like he was picking names out of a hat for substitutions. I had no idea what formation we were playing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Thing is, Nolan was anonymous last season but weighed in with some vital goals. Against shite opposition. I don't have confidence in him being able to do it in the big league, which effectively puts us down to ten men. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Well, it has to be Carroll and Lovenkrands for me up front.. Shame we didn't see them both on the pitch today.. Can't see us playing 2 strikers next week at all. Probably not, but we'll lose that one either way most likely. It's about getting a partnership together that will score goals in matches where we can and will need to get the points we require for survival..

bulivye Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 how seriously were we taking this? it seemed like 1 team very motivated (they're playing champs league ffs!) vs 1 team having a brisk kickabout. why else would shola take such umbrage at the shoulder bump?

Cronky Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 It's the first time I've seen them this season, and there's definitely been some improvements. With Guthrie and Barton we look a lot more confident about playing the ball through the midfield. Nolan also looks fitter than he's been since he's joined us. To join the chorus, we could do with a mobile secondary striker to partner Carroll / Shola. Lovenkrands isn't good enough. We looked weak in the air defensively, but Campbell should be a big help there. To be picky about the midfield, we don't have a goalscoring CM, and at times we could do with breaking a bit quicker. Sometimes we seemed to play one pass too many. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, agree that Carroll and Lovenkrands are clearly our best bet for home games and winnable away ones. We could really do with a nippy, skilful forward though - would make all the difference.
