Passing it around our back 3 in the 91st minute

[Droitwich Baggie]

14 touches for 10 yards.

[gazberg]

Another corner. Fellows directness helping

[Droitwich Baggie]

1/2 hour to take a corner?

[Droitwich Baggie]

We are running the clock down. 

[gazberg]

Great tackle by Holgate

[Droitwich Baggie]

Soon be over folks!

This isn't great.  Each match is a carbon copy of the previous one.

What are they doing on the training ground?

[gazberg]

Another point in the bag. Keep this up and we will stay up thanks to early form.


Grady, Ajayi had stinkers.

Styles was ok overall but he needs to calm down on his crossing.

We looked better when Fellows came on but needed him on at HT not late in game.

Sick of seeing Swift or Mowatt amongst the CB's.

Short of CB's now with Bartley, McNair and Ajayi injured.

Got to pray Heggem and Holgate stay fit.

[Droitwich Baggie]

I was going to say Tripe, but that requires guts and there wan't any out there.

[beechyboy90]

6 without a win. 2 goals in 6 goals at home. At no point have we tried to switch system or tactics. Still haven't tried 2 up top or 3 at back just switch personnel. We haven't seen Johnston and Fellows on together. Took in form Grant out from start.

The manager needs to take a long look at himself. That was mostly at walking pace. Home games are becoming a chore. We only gave Maja one chance and it was hardly clear cut and was 5 mins from the end.

Over complicating things! CC said he was going to work on us getting more goals before the international break!

[baggies_24]

Too intricate, too many touches & not enough chaos created in the box. We also look far more vulnerable at the back & we are easily cut open.

Racic was a positive though, he was at the heart of everything we did well.

I thought Racic was excellent first half, faded 2nd but the best i've seen him yet

We will have good results, we will have some bad, but 12 games in and I think I’ve seen enough to say we will not make the play offs this year. We are decent knocking it around in midfield, but we are too shaky at the back, and not enough threat going forwards.

[boinging_along]

It's striking see other teams play when they're in the last 5 minutes and the y're pushing quickly to try and get the winner.

Compare that to our defenders having a jolly old time winding the clock down between them with 3 minutes to go.

This walking football works when you're a goal ahead - not when you're looking to score a goal.

It's the knocking it around in midfield\defence that's costing us though.  Just gives the opposition all the time in the world to get back and get into some kind of shape.  Then we don't have players that can unlock a defence really.  You'll see Fellows do a step over and go around the outside but that's about it.  When else can you remember a midfielder taking his man on, getting past and creating space?

[zippyandbungle]

After watching the Blackburn match what sensible manager takes our only bite out of midfield…and then persists with Diangana.
Terrible,repetitive
The only positive was that Wallace didn’t get on

[mulliganstired]

That was pretty dire.  We are so easy to play against.  Overcoached and frightened to make a mistake in front of the boss, so the backwards/square pass is the safe option.

[wba_1996]

Hard to see where a win is coming from right now. We’ve been so poor going forward the past 6 games and we’re coming up to a tricky run of games. The mentality is completely wrong for the Championship.

Everything is so slow, no runners in behind, scared to commit players forward, zero urgency and we look out of ideas every time we attack. We make it so easy for teams to just sit in and kill the game, I said it after Blackburn but every game just feels like a continuation of the previous one.

Hopefully that’s the last we see of Ajayi, he’s an embarrassment of a centre back. Diangana has gone so far backwards it’s unbelievable. Our wingers and attacking midfielders create very little and almost never score.

His zimmer frame was a bit wonky.

[paulosull]

Clean sheet and still in fifth place only positives from this game Carlos again gives too much respect to opposition and doesn’t seem to have any answers to our attacking threat.

I don’t disagree. I think some of the way we appear to control in midfield gives the impression we are better side than we are. Very little is effective or penetrating

[gazberg]

It's nothing football. The focus is on not losing possession rather than scoring.
