TRon Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Are you allowed to be disappointed about a shit performance without being fucking "kneejerk" anymore? Not at all, but when it gets into 'Rafa dropped a bollock' and 'we need to play this way not that way' when both goals were individual errors and we just beat a team 6-0 away from home, then people have a point tbf. This game sounded a replica of the Huddersfield game, so it's not a one off. I didn't say it was. Putting this match down to Rafa seems a bit odd though considering the nature of the goals conceded. Said it a few times now but you are always going to get games where a defender makes a gaffe. That's not the problem, but not creating chances at home suggests we haven't got the attacking side of it right yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Taylor and Besty @TaylorandBesty 8m8 minutes ago Some of the worst passing I've seen at SJP for a long time today as well. Ah well, let's fuck them over in the cup and carry on. #nufc One for all us virgins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 It's the more the fact when we go behind we look absolutely toothless. We're far too easy to defend against when the opposition are behind the ball. Exactly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Sounded like a bad performance, sloppy in possession and couldn't cope with Wolves pressing us. It'll happen though, unfortunately, but I reckon Rafa will get it sorted. I think Wolves had a gameplan to not give us any time on the ball, to force mistakes and it worked. The boss will have seen it and he'll have them working on it hopefully. Not the end of the world by any means but definitely needs some improvement.

Deuce Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Two defeats at home already is a bit of a concern, especially when we didnt lose once last time all season at home. What happened the last time we played in the Championship is completely and unequivocally irrelevant to this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Sorry like, I'm all for attacking play and would prefer us to play with two strikers as well, but the mistakes and shit passing have nothing to do with formations, it's simply poor performances from players not doing their job properly.

That's not the problem, but not creating chances at home suggests we haven't got the attacking side of it right yet. Lowes and Anderson kept saying we were 'chalk and cheese'... 'night and day' compared to Tuesday night, as if that was the norm... up to now, it may be the exception. We will need to keep working on things... just because we scored 6, doesn't mean we'd hit some magic formula It was just one of those games, as today may have been. Its how the players react in the next few matches that will be telling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Last time down here we were unbeaten all season at home. Think people were getting over confident already after that win midweek. It's not as easy a league as made out, need to really be on it to be as good as we were that season and also manage the huge expectations at our home matches. As much as I think rotation will work, can't help thinking now is possibly a bit early for it without gelling enough. If that makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That line up should have definitely beaten Wolves, yes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Got to go to the game at the last minute through someone's season ticket... Was just one of those typical NUFC days.

SUPERTOON Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 The major concern that still exists is that when we go behind we look completely incapable of turning the match around, or even grinding out draws. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened the last time we played in the Championship is completely and unequivocally irrelevant to this season. I would disagree. Our home form was crucial in helping us win the league last time and if we're already seeing signs that our home form isnt going to be as good this time round then it's surely cause for concern at this stage?

Tubestationatmidnight Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 We will be fine. 4 points from villa and Norwich will keep us up there then we have a long run of games after that v the so called smaller clubs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Terrible today, but we lost due to our own failings. Couldn't string two passes together and everyone had a nightmare. We'll have a couple of these this season, but the important thing is to react and we've got a big game next week to do that. Was Anita's a definite red? Couldn't see properly from where I was.
