This is Poor

However, as a side point, there was a line I do agree with -

"if you don't get near the ball for the first 30 mins or so (v WBA and v Huddersfield) we will be 2-0 down at half time with the game gone. I hope this happens at the moment due to the team still settling in."

I have a fear that we're very negative/cagey in the first 10-15 of games. Even Cardiff had most of the ball in the opening of that game. We did well vs them and WBA in drawing the sting out of their opening before getting them on the break, but it's not always going to be like that.

The stats show we really are very poor in the first 15 minutes of each half. So far this season scored 0 conceded 7. This has to change given how weak we are pulling off a result once we fall behind.

Yep. So it’s 7-1 then. Today’s match day programme had it 0-5. Then the two goals conceded today.

Swift scored in the 57th minute today so another goal to add to the goals for column

TBF he's just one of the regular three or four with yet another username.

[krapmle]

it just gets worse.
negatives as before but tactically 1st half worst performance yet
positives: 2nd half, Yiadom, a point, Swansea are a worse team than us

If Swansea are worse than us but second in the table then......

[krapmle]

The first 5 minutes against Fulham will tell us loads.

[krapmle]

it gets even worse.

positives.......none
negatives.....everything

just remind me snowfake royal where is that improvement you were mouthing off about

[Green]

The first 5 minutes against Fulham will tell us loads.

What have we learnt?

we have learnt that there is absolutely zero progress, we are actually in reverse. There is something wrong with the players body language.
Swift was a different player last night, something troubling him

[tmesis]

Ok, I have seen every game this season so far and now is enough. This team is poor.
IMHO I think its the manager and his tactics that are not up to standard as the players have shown themselves to be quite skilful.

...when they feel like it, which isn't often enough. If you have lazy, gutless, and selfish players, who let the other team dominate and not put the effort it, tactics won't save you.

[krapmle]

its just gets worse and worse. even fake snow royal his calling for his head. You know fake snow, the one who said we are improving

[AthleticoSpizz]

...but today was not poor...it was a 0-1 away defeat to a decent Championship team that could’ve quite easily been a 1-1 draw

[krapmle]

of course its poor. Usual nonsense for the 1st 15-20 minutes. Game already lost at half time. No structure, no tactics, substitutions from another planet. We are going down at this rate and nowhere else.

[AthleticoSpizz]

No goals...no strikers that could beat their keeper........yet again


but poor?

[krapmle]

I wonder that you are surprised. The reason Man U didn't sack Ferguson all those years ago was because there were sign of things coming together. It was a close call as I think he survived the sack by about 1 or 2 games.

Here there are no signs whatsoever. It isn't working.

Is that 2-10 now? Disgraceful
