Mattoon Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Well that was probably my 1 and only game I'll watch this season, went as expected. Our strongest team too, Villa were poor and we made it far too easy for them. Officiating didn't help and no doubt will be used as an excuse by Brucey and swallowed up by the supporters but we could have played all day and not scored.

Wilson missing a sitter. Unlucky penalty decisions going against us. Our penalty being over turned for offside. Bruce out.

LionOfGosforth Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 There's no leadership on the pitch, Lascelles is supposed to be one but he cost us two goals even if the pen was harsh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lucky team gets a 1-1 draw in that game, Lascelles gets away with the handball and there's no offside on the Wilson pen. We're shit, no leadership, nothing in midfield and we're unlucky too. Bad recipe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo_11 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Generally our opening games have been boring from a performance point of view. It is only right to discuss the decision making from officials today. Arguably the Lascelles hand ball should have been given as I would have been disappointed had that been at the other end. However the issue last week was the West Ham penalty wasn't reviewed at all leading to the inconsistency. Martinez was not in control when he made the challenge on Wilson and although they had Mings covering ot was reckless and endangered the player, probably should have been a red card. He is slightly offside before it, but again the thickness of the lines from last season looks no different and therefore no advantage to the striker at all. It's a worrying start - not something anyone has predicted against and with arguably our strongest XI it is going to be a long season. There has been a marked change from the officials this season to let certain fouls happen that last season would have been pulled back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can easily lose absolutely any game - we have the same manager and the same team which stank the league up last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Keep talking about referee decisions, it detracts well from the stonking performances. A bit like talking about a failed takeover 18 months on detracts well from Ashley burning the club to the ground. Nowt to see here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
