Melt down after a loss is ridiculous

Sun Aug 21, 2022 1:49 pm

Yes we lost but the melt down from some cardiff fans is ridiculous the Stats like the commentary said the game was even but Bristol took there chances and we looked toothless in the box . We all can see that we need a striker or 2 .there is hope this sesson .

Have to agree , yes I’m disappointed but at least we didn’t lose in the manner of the last 4 derby games where we’ve just not turned up and threw in the towel straight away . Watters scores it’s a different game, we still had chances until the end. We are just lacking a striker .

Totally agree Wes. Although I do think they were comfortably the better side as they controlled the midfield. But as you said, we had our chances but didn’t take them. Bad day at the office for what is still a very new group of players. The reaction in the next fixture is the most important thing now.

Spot on. Goals change games and Watters is simply inept at this level.

Meltdown incoming. You do realize he wasn't the only player on the pitch don't you? Inept is way over the top.

5 derby defeats on the bounce. SM not afraid to throw his players under the bus

Watters made a great run and created a clear cut chance, and missed.

Kipre played some great passes and movement, and failed to test the keeper from close range. But he is a defender and was caught sleeping for both goals. Let’s ignore that

Harris had the keeper in a mad panic, and somehow let him get a touch when he should have either put it out of the keepers reach and scored, or the keeer would have to bring him down.

Defence had their pants ripped down in this game, balls in behind really hurt us and defending crosses was awful.

O’Dowda didn’t seem to influence as much but had a decent game today

Sawyers started brightly but faded

Rinhomota seemed very light weight, lost the ball softly a few times and put us right on the back foot

Ojo was ineffective

Colwill lost the ball a lot when coming on, he’s a luxury player that seems to either have a moment of madness or brilliance, made some great touches and passes but also gave it away a lot

Ralls seems off the pace, used to win every second ball, now keeps giving it away.

Wintle had a good game but then he did always play it safe, not a bad thing but also contributed not much going forward. He’s pretty good at switching play though which gives the forward players a platform 9 times out of 10

Allsop had a good game as did their keeper who made some great saves today. Just pointing out, Watters wasn’t the only one playing poor

Absolutely, Wez; and it shows the fickleness (polite word for ignorance) with the usual suspects

We are a decent strike force away from a side genuinely challenging this season and that needs to be sorted before the window closes

In the one downside today, we saw that Watters is probably not the player to take us forward (he failed to follow up on more thannone occasion) and Etete is still learning

Stats show we were even all over the park except in the opposition box and that is the only area of concern

Imo our problem was the early loss of Bagan - not immediately but later in the game as Simpson struggled after the first half and this rubbed off on Kipre.
SM stated after the wba game that Simpson would be ‘a bag of bones’ in a few days as he wasn’t really fit for 90 mins; he clearly wasn’t expected to play nearly the whole game today.
Wintle was definitely not himself today and this always was going to hinder us.
Ps. Ralls was completely off the pace in mind and body when he came on.

Onwards and upwards though, I expect a big response on Saturday. :bluescarf:

Some of them deserve it fella, Morison is not the one on the field playing, remember that. I’m 100% with Morison in this instance. All is not lost so have faith.

Andrew, I don’t understand why people rave about Ralls, he brings nothing to the game and is holding us back. Imo, Wintle should be our captain and Ralls be nowhere near the first 11.
Morison now has to go get the striker or two that we need and let Watters and Harris go on loan.

Agree Sam. Also, a quick, ball
Playing left back would be nice mate.

Spot on. We always have bad luck with injuries at the wrong time.

Agree :thumbup: - Surprised it did not happen earlier after the Reading game ;)

I don't think the stats show we were a yard slower, out thought out fought and 15 new players with not a striker amongst them. Colwell must start at 10.

Yes but we haven’t got the striker we have been screaming for since the transfer window opened. I think that’s what most people find frustrating and that’s the reason for the “over reaction”. I’ve been backing Watters but only because we haven’t brought in another striker. But it’s time he’s dropped and we try starting Etete.

Re: Melt down after a loss is ridiculous

We played well, they just wanted it more than we did simple as that. Seen a couple of youngsters giving ODowda the finger after the game and abuse, feck off and support someone else ffs :banghead:

Etete seems to have no control over his legs at all, poor every time he has come on late so we should give him a start agaisnt Preston and see what he can do :bluebird:

Just think we need to try something different because Watters isn’t doing the business. I remember Rhys Healey coming on against Chelsea and he looked like bambi on ice. Now he’s smashing them in so hopefully it’s just about giving him Etete time and confidence.

I stand by my description.

16 Championship games for us, 1 goal and not a single assist.

Somebody tell me why I should believe he is not inept at THIS level.
