We deserved nothing less…

 

[BelizeHatter]

Was gonna say how did we lose that......but.....we didnt........cant afford to miss that many good chances in the Championship tho.... and theres is the one effort that deflects in off our defender.......Id be very dissapointed if i was a City fan. Big club who are pretty shit

 

[Kenneth E End]

Danny Hylton ending a run of 30 appearances without a goal. And he couldn’t really miss, but great work in the build up by Adebayo to get on an unlikely ball after a Dan Bentley cock up.

At some point our luck will change because a point there was the least we deserved.

Boxing match at the end of of the Stoke v Barnsley game !

Few red cards .

 

[Gerry Gow]

Well, that was effin dreadful.

Luton should have been out of sight by half time! Ashton Gate is a curse, 8 months and counting without a win at home…

Fed up of being a shambles of a football team.

Derby to get 9 points deducted.

Bagged again, how much was he?

Rising to a million I think. I thought we’d overpaid at the time but it’s looking like a bargain now. Can’t believe how good he’s been.

That would be one of the relegation spots sorted then you would have thought.

 

[Super_horns]

Maybe a East Midlands relegation double.

Derby would be on -2 so not far behind .

I could still see Derby staying up, they've looked really hard to beat.

West Brom at home, actually looking forward to Deepdale again but i'm in the Peak District this weekend.

Obviously a tough game but they don't look as strong as I expected, 2 draws and a narrow win over Peterborough in their last 3. We'll still need to be on top of our game though.

5 ex-nobbers available for selection for them; Johnstone, Reach, Molumby, Robinson & Hugill.

I don't see any reason why we would change our eleven if they're fit, we're playing well.
DJ took a bit of a knock at Bramall lane but I think he will be ok, one of the best midfielders in the division when he's in this form, hit his 50th goal for us on Tuesday.

Iversen
Storey - Bauer - Hughes
VDB - Ledson - Whiteman - Earl
DJ
Riis, Maguire

Rudd, Cunningham, Lindsay, Browne, McCann, Sinclair, Murphy
​

Sinclair in for Potts on the bench.

Still got Olosunde, Barkhuizen, Evans & Wickham to bring in when fit, our depth looks decent right now.

Be tough. They have no depth and a central defense that's very old and unlikely as a partnership to last a whole season.

Point deductions suck the life and belief out of a club. Theyd have to go on an immediate run to set the mentality imo.

 

[Super_horns]

Administration looming for Derby.

Really would leave them dead in the water.

Rooney won't stick around.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Should be -21 then in that case, the -9 they’ve already accrued then then the deduction for administration. Part of me thinks they are taking it because they know they are fucked for this season anyway with the -9 deducted so may as well take the rest and clear the debts.

Or they naively think the -9 would just be superseded by a -12?

 

[Laker]

It’s sad but inevitable. The club has seemed “on the brink” of administration for ages.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Rooney will have to go. Does the betting company not pay his wages still ?
plus all the big earners like ravel Morrison and Curtis Davies etc

 

[oakroader]

Let’s see who does a Tony Thorpe..(whose mother is a whore)..
And jumps the sinking ship …
Putting himself before club…

 

[BelizeHatter]

Credit where its due, since Ive been a big critic...... Harry Cornick on fire last few weeks and very dangerous. Great to see and very exciting. Well done son.

Our press today is devestating so far

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Martin absolutely not done his homework here, coming to play like this against our press is asking for a whole world of trouble which they have justifiably found themselves in. Could be more if Adebayo had been a bit more clinical.

 

[BelizeHatter]

........Did his homework second half

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Ow that’s going to leave some mental scarring.

As soon as it went 3-1 you could feel it brewing. Harry should have wrapped the game up it must be said but only hit the post and from that point on you just absolutely KNEW what was going to happen.

Our press which had been so relentless and effective began to fade and that’s the result. Still took 2 deflected goals but still. The Rea for Adebayo sub wasn’t a great one for me, should have gone like for like imo so we could keep pressing them.

 

[Kenneth E End]

What in the hell of holy fuck had happened in that second half. Literally lost for words. Total cruise control and gets thrown away.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Can always rely on Luton for my Acca on the “both teams to score “

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

What in the hell of holy fuck had happened in that second half. Literally lost for words. Total cruise control and gets thrown away.

Went too conservative, press fell off as we ran out of puff on a 3 game week and it cost us big time unfortunately.

Without the pressing it was essentially an attack vs defence training session for Swansea. Wouldn’t surprised if we had under 20% possession for the second half. The press was the key and for tactical/physical reasons we couldn’t keep it up. Having said that still a bit unlucky not to win with the goals that eventually did get scored.

Ugh - been thinking for a few weeks now just something not feeling quite right about this season for me. Midfield is all out of balance.

 

[BelizeHatter]

Needed more energy, we just ran out of puff and looked dead on our legs. Press was easily picked off and then with the space behind it the subs were much more dangerous than the first half. We could have lost it at the end with the Osho Sluga mess up.

 

[Super_horns]

Think this looks worse than it was.

Lansbury was going for the ball I think ?

[BelizeHatter]

He seems to have a nasty streak in him. Def was trying at a minimum to get him booked for blocking the freekick but i suspect he thought he could get a free one in........which he did i guess as if thats on purpose its an insta red.

That angle looked worse than it was. There was a replay later fron the other angle and he tips it away a split second before Lansbury conacts the ball and the guys foot was still there instead

 

[Kenneth E End]

Another day, more injuries. Bell went down before the game again and Hylton in the warm up. I think that’s three games in a row someone has pulled out just before. Naismith also playing through the pain barrier. I’ve never seen a season like it. To be 13th right now is almost miraculous.

What the hell is going on?

getting plenty of play on social media this evening. Only thing that has saved him really is that it’s our free kick which many see to have missed, and therefore manning should be nowhere near it. Lockyer does him a favour too by making a big deal of it I think too. He’s lucky as easily could be a red.
