Amir_9 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) Today was one of those days when you need to see someone other than the usuals scoring Burn is a great defender but offensively weak. Botman could really do with a goal soon as well. Wood was his usual self, you just know its more hope than reliance you'll ever see him scoring. Trippier's crosses were hot and cold today, although he crossed a few decent ones, overall it was slightly below his usual standard. Longstaff's habit of skying it when the ball comes to him in or just outside the box on show again today. Frustrating but still brilliant to be in our position.

LiquidAK Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 On a more positive note - Maxi looked well up for it when coming on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Whether it’s ASM fully fit, Isak or another winger we need more potency down the left especially at home against teams playing like Leeds did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Shooting practice for longstaff on Monday morning. Never looked confident and body shape was all wrong for every shot. Other than that, just one of them days. We still picked up points and never looked in danger of losing even when having an off day. Howay the lads and happy new year to all.

christ Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 One of those days. Leeds had a plan, executed it almost flawlessly and we still managed to carve out a handful of chances. We were just unlucky they fell to the wrong players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 We were a Schar header in the first half away from battering them. If we are going to draw a game 0-0, a day before the transfer window opens might not have been the worst thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time last New Years Eve people would have said I was mad to have even suggested we would have been in this position. I was ill last year on NYE and remember browsing the transfer section on here late on with all the talk of Trippier etc. I was trying to dig out the thread from this time last year, but can't find it, only this one below from Jan 9th and no permission to view the previous edition, but aye, it would certainly be interesting to read that back and see how far we have come in such a short period of time. I guess the last time we drew at home to Leeds about 15 months ago, I wouldn't have even really cared about the result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Think it’ll take me until tmrw to get dry after that. Standing up getting soaked is bad enough, sitting down in it is far worse. Anyway, great flag display, awful referee, shocking finishing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournemouth was more iffy. Fair enough. Maybe I’ve wiped a lot of it from my memory. Might just be as they played so high and open. That the opportunities we wasted were amplified.

You’re MO has been constant complaining for years. So to accuse others of that in this context is a bit of gaslighting. I’d be somewhat shocked if anyone on here expected an optimistic post when they see you’ve posted. Your six forced optimism posts are buried under 200,000 negative ones. This is gas lighting. I make negative posts, but I reckon if you read back, you'd see I make a lot more positive posts. You've got a bias you need to shake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Hopefully we have players lined up ready to sign like Trippier last January. Ready to sign early on so we don't waste time. I really want us to sign another striker. We don't know in what form Isak will be and how long ut takes him to get back to his best. Likewise, Wilson is a ticking timebomb in regards to his next injury and I think we just can't rely on Wood as we have previously. January is going to be a huge month for us both on and off the pitch. A lot of league games plus 2 cup matches including a quarter final. Fingers crossed, we'll end January still in good and happy mood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) Can’t win them all and can’t fault the lads for effort. 1 home league defeat in over a year is sublime. Ref was a fucking prick mind. Edited December 31, 2022 by Danh1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumbheed Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Don't think there's anything to be annoyed about other than the fact we didn't get what we deserved - no ones watching that game and thinking it was the right result on the balance of the game. Poor first half against a team who were willing to put the graft in and a dominant second half where we didn't take our chances. The difference between us and the truly top sides is that extra quality in the right areas and we paid for that today, thankfully we can address that from tomorrow.

Dr Venkman Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Every chance fell to the wrong player. We played just about well enough to win it but are lacking that killer instinct in quite a few positions I think. On a positive note, the bairn’s only 6 and he got stuck in to the ref for 90 mins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
