BBM: “ WE WERE SO DETERMINED TO WIN “

BBM:


“It is a very disappointing result.” Brian began. “We were so determined to win and wanted to, but today we weren’t able to.

“Against a team who defend so deep with so many numbers, it can be difficult. There were parts of the game where we wanted to play quicker and be more direct to try and make sure we could get to them before they got into real organisation.

“We created good chances, and a game like that, you’re always hoping you will take one of those chances to change the shape of the game. The longer the game went on, they were very deep and very difficult to break down, and today we have to accept that we weren’t able to score the goals.”


It was a frustrating afternoon for the Bluebirds, who had 26 shots and dominated possession. Brian stressed that games like this can happen and that there have been positives despite the tough run of form at home recently.

He added. “The players got into good positions, and we created good chances, but the goalkeeper made a couple of really good saves, and sometimes that can happen.

“We’ve scored the most goals in the league. The players have done fantastically well. It doesn’t mean that we’re not looking to improve, but there will be stages of the season where it doesn’t go your way, and today was one of those days.”

So many words but says nothing we haven't heard week after week after week.

I know he has to do the presser and isn't a Warnock character, so it's the usual safe, sideways stuff that we played during our last 3 home games

Wrong we are not the top scorers and we have gone 3 home games without scoring
You cannot play Jellyman and Rubin, both poor today, needed Joel from the start
If BBM can't seeing it it then gid help us

To be fair we were top scorers when he said it

He's done wonders for us, but he's starting to sound like a politician.

I spoke to him outside after the match and said
Are we going to blow automatic promotion (this was before the Bolton and Bradford results)
His reply was.. Definitely not we are going up I guarantee that.
Straight from the horses mouth.

Yes 100% I believe we will but not with a feel good factor

Although we had 26 shots , I felt the majority of shots lacked composure variation, were telegraphed .

It's a pity our development squad hasn't produced a keen nos 9 willing to try something different
