    How many times...........

    do we lose points by NOT being able to see out games! I just bet my brother that we would not see this game out at Wolves with 3 points having scored early and bingo I depressingly won.

    Should have been 3-0 up at half time.Woods missed a sitter when he only had Patricio to beat.I knew then those misses would be costly.

    Tactics ! Being of ye old school of football,I do not see a point of the saying ''everybody back in defence''! Like most of us that played our football,some where after the 50's ,the old center forward keep up field ,he never went back in defence to help out! So what is happening now our defence heads out a ball,or kicks it , but is immediately returned by the opposing team causing us to be under pressure !(That's what was happened in the last 5 mins.) If that central attacking player moved both to his left and right of the field (between both their back and center half players, he would/could draw 3 players , out of an attacking position keeping the opposing teams unable to leave their defensive positions ??)
    In numbers,3 or 4 of the opposing team,would be in defence (with the goalkeeper) 7 or 8 ready to attack! But we would have 10 in defence!! Try it ,it makes sense to me!!!
    ......I really should be the next manager!!

    We play the best version of "Block Ball" I have ever seen. One silly mistake at the death cost us three points. That's life!

    I'm not sure if it's by choice or we just aren't good enough to do anything about it, but we do seem content to play out the last five minutes in our own penalty area, with all the obvious risks that entails. I know it's probably easier said than done, but the ref can't give them a pen if the ball's in their half.
