London_Fox Posted 27 January 2007 Posted 27 January 2007 Game over...made it more exciting but still not even close to good enough. Gives Kelly an excuse to say it was close etc etc etc

potter3 Posted 27 January 2007 Posted 27 January 2007 Sounded like we played like a team full of Andy Johnsons (the long haired one)
cisono Posted 27 January 2007 Posted 27 January 2007 Fulltime. Cardiff City 3-2 Leicester City I missed most of the game but it sounds like we were shit
Simi Posted 27 January 2007 Posted 27 January 2007 Looking at the table it is not pretty at all. We keep telling ourselves we won't go down but we are continuing to struggle.
AyewJoking Posted 27 January 2007 Posted 27 January 2007 Another goal for Kisnorbo! Didnt expect anything from this game but I'm pissed because I had money on 2-0!
lookwhaticando Posted 27 January 2007 Posted 27 January 2007 Time to look around for another club to support... Hmm... How about... Dagenham & Red? Bolton or Wigan are the way forward in the Premiership. Lincoln City (League Two)? Northampton Town (League One)?
Foxhateram Posted 27 January 2007 Posted 27 January 2007 Another goal for Kisnorbo! Didnt expect anything from this game but I'm pissed because I had money on 2-0! well no point dwelling on it. move on luton next week. lost 2-0 to them the first game of the season, (buggers are what started this crap season) its pay back time now
lcfc_jme Posted 27 January 2007 Posted 27 January 2007 A bad week ends with a bad performance and a bad result. We clearly didn't deserve the two goals we got today, and we deserved to get beat. I just hope that we get the Leicester who turn up, compete and want to win next week or we're as good as down.
lookwhaticando Posted 27 January 2007 Posted 27 January 2007 well no point dwelling on it. move on luton next week. lost 2-0 to them the first game of the season, (buggers are what started this crap season) its pay back time now If we can't beat Luton who've been frighteningly shit recently, we really are doomed. We've got to go out and batter them. We need to score three goals in the first half. Nothing less will do. Of course... they could do a Cardiff and break a bad run against us.
Harpenden Fox Posted 27 January 2007 Posted 27 January 2007 Next week's game against Luton becomes hugely important. They've sold their better players, they have a number of injuries, and they lost 4-0 at home today. Presumably they have even less confidence than us. We simply have to take the game too them and attack from the first whistle. Well, you can but hope

lookwhaticando Posted 27 January 2007 Posted 27 January 2007 Didn't cardiff do that against wolves? Not at Ninnnnnnnian park.
Simi Posted 27 January 2007 Posted 27 January 2007 Bad thing is Kelly will call this unlucky and not look at the fact we have been outplayed for alot of the game. Alot of people will know what is coming in the interview "The lads have battled hard and we have come away gutted as we feel we could of had a point from this"
Thracian Posted 27 January 2007 Posted 27 January 2007 It's serious now and Kelly has a dilemma. Does he go tighter and tighter - play the experienced players he's always inclined to turn to in times of trouble and expect to scrape through to safety. Or does he address the real problems we have, cut the crap out of the team, re-balance the line-up properly, stop playing midfielders on the wing and stop playing strikers who don't score. I know what I'd do. But I also think I know what Kelly will do. And if that happens we won't score enough and we'll concede too many. Do you know what emphasises our predicament most?. Just thinking where we'd be without Kisnorbo's seven goals. We can't expect him to continue scoring at the same rate.
Harpenden Fox Posted 27 January 2007 Posted 27 January 2007 and one thing we're good at is playing teams back in to form, helping misfiring scorers to refind their goalden touch, encouraing leaky defences to rediscover their resolve. And don't forget we're up for a 442 award for the best use of new media. So plenty of reasons to be cheerful
Harpenden Fox Posted 27 January 2007 Posted 27 January 2007 ............ and stop playing strikers who don't score. Like you I'd like to see Dodds get a chance off the bench, but if we drop every striker who isn't scoring, doesn't that mean we won't play anyone up front at all? I'm not trying to be a smart ar&e, but you take my point?
Fez of Mahrez Posted 27 January 2007 Posted 27 January 2007 I just beat Leeds 6-4 on Fifa. Was a cracking game. Came back from 4-2 down. Don't really give a tits about the proper team when we have games like this, it was a fairly inevitable defeat.
lcfc_jme Posted 27 January 2007 Posted 27 January 2007 Do you know what emphasises our predicament most?. Just thinking where we'd be without Kisnorbo's seven goals. We can't expect him to continue scoring at the same rate. Which is exactly what is worrying to me. It is a sad state of affairs when we're constantly relying on a central defender to come up and score goals for us on a regular basis. Strikers are supposed to score the goals, the midfield are supposed to chip in with their fair share and if a defender scores 3 or 4 a season then great. Kisnorbo (if I'm not mistaken) is our second highest goalscorer this season behind Iain Hume. Why are the rest of our attacking players not getting forward, having shots and scoring goals? This badly needs to change if we're to stop the slump, prevent ourselves from suffering relegation and maybe even think about climbing the league.

Just thinking where we'd be without Kisnorbo's seven goals. We can't expect him to continue scoring at the same rate. Good post. Johnson back now Kelly will no doubt revert to playing him with Williams and this will end up with Hughes on the wing. It's blatant to see that he is not a winger. True. If you take away Kisnorbo's goals than we may well even be in the danger zone and well and truly fighting for our lives. If Kelly is hear for the rest of the season he needs to change something and not just hope our luck will change. Levein was in a similar predicament and got the sack. Kelly is trying very hard but has found no consistent formula for us to change it around.

Do you not think if we were overloaded with this youthful quality you go on about they'd be playing already? If Porter is the best of the lot then we are in real trouble.
