Bruce's reluctance to have any kind of confidence in his full squad has cost us dear all season. IF we go up and it is a big if, we need a better goalkeeper.

IF we go up and it is a big if, we need a better goalkeeper.Brian totally agree that we need a more competent, agile and domineering keeper and one who can kick a ball properly however I think it's not about Bruce having more confidence in his squad it's more about being more confident in himself and doing something extra-ordinary. I don't think he is capable of that. He is football manger version of painting by numbers and not an artist.

No effort off the ball and on balance changes ought to have been made.Listless and tired. You could tell with the poor delivery, the time we afforded them and our absence of intensity.Time to use the squad. Still loads of time left.QuintonVilla will be right if he criticises the crowd tonight. As shocking as the players with the Sunderland impression.The crowd were shite from the off. Just beat Wolves 4-1 and the ground was dead apart from Holte Enders In The Sky on loop from about 500 people in the Holte. Everyone else sat on their hands waiting to be entertained like they support Man City. We lost thousands of fans again in the space of 3 days. Our home support is wank for a club of our size and on the run we were on.It isn't beyond the realms of possibility that people have other things to do: for example, work, other commitments etc etc. Or don't have the money for two home games in three days. Or just can't be bothered with a Tuesday night game at home to QPR. I think in general, people like weekend home matches, and I don't think our home support is 'wank'. 30,000 would say otherwise.

Whilst not giving up on the top two, I think we now need to prioritise stabilising ourselves and ensuring this doesn't have a lasting effect and a) ensure we get into the play offs and b)gear ourselves up to being ready for them.

I was totally pissed off when this game got rearranged for a Tuesday night. We have ALWAYS played our home night games on Wednesdays. Small Heath on Tuesdays. Does anyone know why this has changed?

I don't think he is capable of that. He is football manger version of painting by numbers and not an artist. I'm glad other people are seeing the weaknesses in Johnstone now, a few weeks back i felt like I was swimming against the tide saying that I don't think we should be desperate to keep him if we go up. I've not seen all of the game (I was out for most of the first half) but for what I caught we looked really nervy at the back, given our record in 2018 how can that happen?
As disappointing as it was we have to remember we've won 10 of the last 13 and scored 29 goals. Talk of fading away and having no chance is ridiculous. We are more than capable and more likely to go on another run for the remaining 9 games. It's a kick in the pants, a terrible performance and result but let's not over exaggerate it and make a crisis out of it. We'll take a few days off and as Lambert would say, go again. We have the players, we have the form and confidence and like it or not the manager has proven he can get us there or there abouts. Let's all stick together and have the belief that we can do this because our form over the past 30 games suggest we can. Doom and gloom can fuck off for the next 2 months, we've all got to produce and that includes the fans. When we are all together as Wolves found out then we can demolish anyone in this division.Bolton will feel our lashback, 3-1 Villa.

Quote from: TonyD on March 13, 2018, 11:28:38 PM Bolton are going to get a serious mauling. But what would be the point if we just then throw the following match away?Anyway, having time to sleep on it I still haven t got over it. How the fuck could they let this happen? To QP fucking R?Bolton might get it in the neck now, but that won't undo last night's fuckup.Soooo disappointed.

Quote from: SoccerHQ on March 14, 2018, 12:20:58 AMIt's a tactic many managers do, MON did it every game in seasons when we were finishing sixth.MON did it as an offensive ploy Barry Milner Young that could offer something positive, but Jedi?
