3points Gunter was terrible last night. I thought he'd been a bit better recently but he was truly awful yesterday. Just let his man run past him so many times, including the first goal.
Beerens is clearly a Stam favourite. Will he ever be dropped or subbed? The new Jobi McAnuff?
And why bring on Gravenberch to play centre forward rather than try Samuel for the last 5 minutes? Very strange.

Ian Royal I get the feeling we're really hard to beat, and usually win, if we take the lead... but really really struggle if we go behind. Because of our obvious lack of goals and slightly ponderous and uncertain build up..

Isn't that the exact same problem we've had under all our recent managers that have wanted to play possession football out from the back. It means a total lack of urgency when chasing a game and usually going out with a whimper. All too familiar since we dropped back down

The problem so far is that we don't play from the back we play at the back.

That is true Chris.

fine margins.
hes correct, and its an important point.
we were very close to getting the draw, everyone would have thought, meh, ok, itll do
chalk off the shit rebound/O.G shenanigans in the first half and we could have won it and everyone would have been pretty happy with things. lose to two spawny goals and its frustration and moaning all round.
when in reality the actual performance would be the same in all three scenarios.
fans are too keen to equate shit results with shit performance, imo

Far from the case. To be fair, it's never likely to be even, but gut feel can be very misleading. Follow this link and click on the Heat Map. For those who can't be arsed to look, for a home team looking to win, it's heavily skewed in our own half, with huge hotspots at right back, left back and goalkeeper. Evans had the most touches, mostly in our half. Al Habsi had more touches than Beerens, Williams and Kermorgant.

Very telling, a great resource. Shows how unthreatening and insipid we currently are.

72 bus The more I see of Beerens the more he reminds me of Paul Brooker
