Thread: Same old story-too many wasted chances

    Same old story-too many wasted chances

    First half and we simply cannot put the ball in the back of the net.Loads of chances.Mcneil one on one 2 yards out and plays it straight into the keepers arms.Villa had two chances and put them both away-one another deflected goal off Tarks.

    Crushing defeat in the end and we have lost Tarks to injury.Second half was woeful.Judging by that performance,I cannot see us getting any more points from our last 3 games.
    For me the starting eleven was puzzling with Barnes instead of Vydra.

    Back to firing blanks, a very disheartening defeat.

    Did Jackson get the starting line up wrong ? He’ll earn his money in the next couple of weeks that’s for certain .

    You cannot spurn chances like the one Mcneil missed in the first half in the PL and expect to win games.

    I am sorry but that was awful. I have no expectations with this team but today they fell into the minus category there were too many players not at the races. Weghorst is just not good enough for 6' 5" plus he must be the worst header of a ball I have seen he is not even a nuisance on the pitch and contributes nothing game after game. Taylor was shocking today he didnt look interested and did little but give the ball away. For me we should keep Barnes up front and have Cornet and Vydra feeding either side. On this showing we are going to be relagated, but that doesn't bother me except the powers that be will think the squad does not neeed changing - either way we need a complete new front line.

    Cant agree more Lancaster-Weghorst is a waste of space.Giving Jayrod a contract extension after the season he has had just about sums up the ambition of the owners.They must be skint.

    I agree, but the problem is they are skint and if we go down the clubs finances will melt down due to the loans etc the owners owe. How the hell are they going to spend on new players when the cupboard is bare??? Very worrying to say the least.

    I don’t knOw what happend to Vydra as wasn’t sub either , but Barnes was blowing out of his arse after 10 mins he offers nothing.

    I disagree with weghorst I think he’ll be fine if we can get him In Front of goal instead of helping the team out at the edge of our box.

    Today was woeful we are so exposed with no pace - their full backs were quicker than our entire team, our confidence went when they let Ings dance through and finish easily the next one no one came on the overlap with their full back everyone just looked as if it’s someone else’s job.

    I’m afraid Wacko Jacko got found out today , the honeymoon is over and he didn’t have any answers - Barnes was a no no from the start for me at least cornet has pace to trouble teams if he gets the opportunity.

    Where is the youth ? Two
    On bench today didn’t get a look in again.
