Ian Royal I'm surprised with some of the negativity seeing as we managed about 17 shots and most professional reports I've heard / seen say we missed some chances we really should have put away.
Obviously missing easier chances is not great, but still. Especially with two key players out injured, yet another new striker partnership and a right back at left back.

I think I will go with people that were actually there, seems all season we have been generally poor reading the back from the game threads, it is not always the same players picked out, but few have been outstanding all season in these threads. For someone that does not attend, and reading what those do say i would say that many players have decent games, but are not consistent, too many drift out of games, doesn't sound like they put in a full shift week in and week out.
Big difference to 2005/06.
Ian what do you consider a professional report? as most are all from the same person, or does Lawro count, who suggested we would lose every game in the Prem judging by his weekly predictions was back when. Or the Telegraph, who did not even report our takeover the day after it happened, or the Daily Mail who often dont bother reporting our games, unless we play WHU.
Take a chill pill pal.robinsfriday How can you be "surprised" when you were not even there? Go to a game and then share your thoughts. And for the record, we were poor. Roberts showed touches of class. We can't take penalties for sh*t. We got the three points. Somehow we are 4th. We will be in the play offs.

Royal Lady We did have a few chances, but we didn't capitalise on the fact we were playing 10 men either.
We still played too much ball in the air, rather than on the ground and some of our passing was dire - with some players not reading the ball well at all.

Royal Lady It's certainly worrying when NO-ONE appears able to score a bloody penalty these days. I knew Roberts wouldn't score his, because he did that silly little run and stop thing - he's beefy and strong - just bloody whack it man! Glad for him that he scored on the follow up though.
McAnuff's pen looked a bit soft too. (Not to mention that no way should it have been a pen in the first place! Tomasz tripped over his own feet! But sometimes you need the luck and we got it today).
Thought Antonio had some nice play - tired a bit second half.
I think Roberts and Tomasz are a great addition to the team - but to be honest, we need to be all round better than this if we want to get promotion either this year or next year, as mooted by SJM. I'd have played ALF up front with Roberts for a start - and I hope McD considers this pairing next week.
All in all, it was pretty dire to be honest - our fans were very quiet from the off, not sure why.

Royal LadyMmmMonsterMunchRoyal Lady :oops: No not seen TV replay - was going by what I saw with my own eyes.
I thought exactly the same as you but it's actually a clearer pen than the 1st one. We clearly both have crap eyesight!
I even had my glasses on

Dellor, Gooding, Williams, Nicholas, Papers. All taken with a pinch of salt of course.
Didn't say reports on here weren't accurate, just I'm surprised considering. And why would you bring 05/06 into? That season was 1 in a million.Take a chill pill pal.robinsfriday How can you be "surprised" when you were not even there? Go to a game and then share your thoughts. And for the record, we were poor.

robinsfriday I am extremely chilled 'pal'. But your post is pointless. You question those who were there, yet your judgement of the game is based on statistics shown on a website. You can have 55% of possession but it doesn't mean you deserve to win a game of football. It was poor, but by no means as poor as it was against Watford but nowhere near as good as we have shown against other teams this season. It was a 6/10 performance. I'm pleased because a) we won and got 3 points b) Roberts scored on his debut and shows good promise c) we are now 4th in the league and finally d) Anton is flying over for the home game against Coventry.
Winds me up when those who were not at the game (and rarely are) think they can defend a poor performance.

Get over yourself. It was an expression of surprise, not a defence of any performance. Not an disagreement with what's been posted. Although I know which posters to generally trust the opinions of from their views on the games I have seen.
Stop reading too much into it and getting your knickers in a twist.

Snowball Griffin had a very good game, apart from the mix up with Gorks that almost gave away a goal.
