Do Owls poo in the Reebok woods?

[jaffka]

Very disappointing performance and what a sh*te result. Are we now back in mugson territory with tirade of crap with the odd good result which ultimately results in a downward cycle?

[officer_dibble]

Nb motm for me today was Mills. Solid performance throughout.

Oh aye
That bit where he headed it to their left winger inside the box was excellent
Almost as good as him losing his head charging after it leaving chaos behind him, then giving away the free kick with a lunge.

Still him and ream ok today

Danns was the only player who won an aerial duel and also showed for the ball in their half so he has my respect.

Cant judge beckford on what scraps he got... Although should have scored two.

Bogdan was excellent.

Rest of em - wankers to a man

[officer_dibble]

We just get worse and worse

Centre mids were garbage. Poorest performance from medo. Same old headless chicken running around bollocks from spearing.

No-one wanted after baptiste scored. Maybe chungy when he came on but no end product from him and of course ngog. So frustrating.

Eagles was a shadow of last season.

Really really poor. I cannot see dougie lasting this one out. Lucky to get a point .

Half time was funny mind.

[jaffka]

Beckford misses more than he scores. He is average, at best...waste of money IMO.

Eagles should have been sold, is that why he is apparently causing trouble? Thinks he is better than what he is...put in to the shift soft boy.

[officer_dibble]

Well without beckford we would have got what we deserved...nowt

Far more likely than ngog to score (so am i) and by the sounds of it cravies has some issues.

[jaffka]

Was he the best we could have got?

Does cravies think he could do better?

[Gail Platz]

I'm with everyone else, it was a dog shit performance.

I've got to the point where I'm past caring really, when we went 1-0 up I only did a half arsed celebration, and when we conceded I just started laughing, that we conceded a goal through one of our own players putting an attacking bullet header into the net.

Adding to the fact it pissed it down just as 90 minutes hit, put the icing on the shit afternoon cake.

[StaffsTrotter]

well just back and enthusiam levels for future attendance are getting to megson nail pulling proportions.

positives - bogdan some cracking saves; mills - won nearly every header/ tackle; erm thought Ngog did well in his cameo.

negatives - won't pick on individual displays as I'm more convinced than ever that its about how the team is being set up and roles players are being asked to perform. Dull, dull, dull. The lack of movement, purposeful passing, closing down is just embarassing. Until the final flurry, the lack of pressure/ chances/ attempts was woeful.

I'm afraid my support for Dougie has dropped a few more notches - its not a case of us being unlucky or not getting just rewards, I really can't see what it is the team is trying to do and the worst thing is, I don't think they know what they are trying to do either.

[officer_dibble]

I think they were told to keep the ball, hence the passing between centre halves. Fine. But the whole only allowing beckford plus one to attack was shocking. Wingers got feck all support so just ended up running thd ball out or passing to no-one. At home against bottom 3 side? Embarrassing.

I share this view - 100%... With dismay!

[boltonboris]

Good job they had that man sent off, otherwise we'd not have gotten a point. They were infinitely better, fitter and braver than us.

Go a goal up and feckin retreat. Boring as fvck and with that outlook on the game, we won't kick on. Every week he's lamenting luck. It's bollocks.

[Gail Platz]

Apologies for referring to Gary Megson again but I remember myself and others going on that he only had a plan A and no plan B... well, we've not even got a plan A these days! Megson's plan was lump it up to Davies, our plan now is kind of stand there and fanny about with it, then eventually play a long ball up field which either goes out of play/goes to nobody/goes to an opposing player (delete as appropriate)

Whereas I pretty much agree with the rest of your point, Boris, the sending off had absolutely no effect on the game whatsoever.

[boltonboris]

They were the better team until that point

[Bruce Rioja]

They were the better team until that point

They were the better team until N'Gog came on and we went two up top. Nowt to do with the sending off, which came in the 85th minute. That just meant that they played with no-one up top.

[Worthy4England]

Bring back ping pong.

Errrr no.

Any stats to back that up?

Yup, one "no" so far.

I'm not quite as critical as you overall but I agree with this. Danns looked good today. When Eagles, Danns and Beckford were in a triangle up front it looked very dangerous... see the goal.

I thought Feeney was quiet, as was Eagles really, Chungy didn't bring that much to the table when he came on.

When we tried we looked good but loose passes from pretty much everyone all game. Wednesday were very weak on the ball and we seemed to take it off them very easily indeed.

If people think the tactics from the manager were to be defensive until the last 10 minutes that would be one explanation for some of what we saw today, more than one previous manager has kept it tight for 60 minutes before really going for it. Other than that I'm struggling to think why they didn't perform like they showed they can play in patches.

[Bruce Rioja]

Oh, I have this whole fecking piece to write about Douglas's utterly unbelievably 4uck-witted substitutions, today. Hopefully I'll get around to it tomorrow.

[Jez]

we were absolute shite, just some of the most uninspired football ive ever seen. Baptistes performance at left back made robinson look like roberto carlos, too slow, constantly caught out of position but atleast he can place a header.

Liam Feeney, the saviour of late, basically watched the game go past him

Dougie's substitutions werent all bad, NGog changed the game and the blistering run he made when he first got the ball actually woke the crowd up. Hall looked eager too but a bit naive. Chungy didnt set the world alight but he was one of the only players who looked for the ball. once their man went off and we smelt blood things got interesting, especially with the atmospheric thunderstorm. If we'd played a little more like that earlier on though, just with some bravery, we probably would have smashed them and we'd fly up the table and the world would be wonderful.

[officer_dibble]

Feeney cant influence a game when nobody passes to him !

His lack of movement may not of helped matters...but medo and spearing struggled to pass wind today
