Number 6 Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 Will be cheering on S****horpe this weekend fo' sure! Would anyone have not taken this position had it been offered at the beginning of the season? I think not. Fans of this club are sometimes as depressing as Coldplay albums, cheer up!
Joe. Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 I thought Brighton deserved a point there in a very hard working performance. We've clearly seen better from our side this season, but neverthless we still should have won it if our forwards were on form. Both Fryatt and Dickov had very good chances to score, but ultimately bottled it in front of goal. The way we played tonight meant Dickov was totally useless, a pointless member of the first team. When Hayles came on we looked much more like scoring, just going to show how we rely on a target man more than we think. Howard's absence was certainly felt tonight in my opinion. Anyway, we can't complain too much, it's another point to add to the tally, and MK Dons lost. I know we're looking over our shoulders at Millwall but they've still got to win both their games in hand to come within 5 points of us. Tonight's performance wasn't the greatest, but we've come away with something.

Number 6 Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 In all seriousness why is Dickov still even near the bench? Contributes nothing anymore.
CKB Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 Boo boys out again when we are 10pts clear? complete and utter retarded ****monkeys! can we ban them? or at least get Graham Norton, Michael Barrymore to bum them all up a sharp fence!
StanSP Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 One of those is against MK Dons.Anyone who thought the season was over is an idiot. This one has a long way to go yet. Technically Mark Jarvis thought this. Not quaking in their boots yet. but if we carry on dropping points (hopefully we won't of course), then they shall be getting worried..
Tilley Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 In all seriousness why is Dickov still even near the bench? Contributes nothing anymore. We need a new striker. We have Fryatt & Howard who are decent. Ashley Chambers isn't being given a chance. Hayles & Dickov are both past it. DJ obviously isn't coming back.
Mark Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 No idea. Dickov & Hayles. Brighton were such a poor side as well. It was begging out for some pace/wing play to get in behind but these options were ignored...
Shrenchel Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 That was very stupid... but I think they were just venting their disappointment at our failure to pick up the points we should have got.I still clapped them off as they deserved some recognition for their efforts... all be them in vain against a Brighton team who played around 8 men behind the ball most of the time. Please don't make excuses for these cretins. You vent your dissapointment by kicking a wall or nailing a stella, not by booing players who have in general been turning in some fantastic performances. What motivation does it give the lads to play well if they know that with one slip up thousands of ****** who haven't sang one chant of encouragement to them all season are gunna get on their backs?!
J.Lisemore Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 Always hard when a team comes here just to put 10 men behind the ball like Brighton did.
Matt Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 Bore Draw, Not much else to say. We played poor however I feel Brighton forced that upon us playing boring defensive football. Howard needed and deserved a rest and break, I just hope all the people that slag Howard off realise how much we need him though, we clearly missed him tonight. 10 Points clear though, Hopefully normal service will be resumed Saturday.

Fair enough... sorry. 2-1 vs Oldham!

Fully agree, Steve is an integral part of our squad and we missed him tonight. Loyd is poor, i have no confidence atm when he is on the ball, would like to see him rested and replaced with gradel to see how he performs. Tonight also told me that we are crying out for a Central Midfielder who is going to do all of the ball wining and feeding king to be the playmaker.
Number 6 Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 The thing that worries me most about the boo boys is that they will be there next season again. If we get promoted these people will expect play-offs at least. Booing does nothing for morale. I understand when the team has been putting in half-arsed performances for weeks but I can't comprehend why someone would boo tonight. This team has been the best team we have had for a while, putting in repeated good performances, stop being morons.
Tilley Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 Also, Dyer has consistently under-performed for a couple of months now. I think it is time someone else is given a chance. ie Gradel.
C-man Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 One of those is against MK Dons.Anyone who thought the season was over is an idiot. This one has a long way to go yet. And the other one is away at Leeds. Hardly foregone conclusions, so there's no need to panic. Also, anyone cheering on Scunny this saturday is short-sighted too, they are on 50 points you know.
Maybes Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 Point 1. We missed Howards hold up play. Point 2. No creative midfielder Point 3. We dropped two points? No, its one more point to promotion only another 31 to go. Chin up.
Tommeh Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 Tonight was just an excuse for some pillocks to boo or chant "Pearson sort it out" they've been pretty deprived since Walsall and Northampton so it was nice the got a chance to voice their displeasure. Despite being one of the worst games I've ever watched its still a point gained and it has shown moronic Howard bashers just how ordinary we are without him.
lildave3 Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 Boring game, Fryatt missed 2 sitters, we missed Steve big time. I think that's everything.
C-man Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 61% possession and we created fuck-all? I wasn't there tonight but that sounds like we had no spark in midfield, and Howard needs to get well soon.
SamL Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 Two points dropped, rather than one point gained. We were lucky not to concede an own goal, although certain players had numerous chances to score for us. As much as I rate Dyer, he's crying out for a rest.
FilboFox Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 61% possession and we created fuck-all?I wasn't there tonight but that sounds like we had no spark in midfield, and Howard needs to get well soon. We did try to get forward but at times the passing was rather loose and therefore the moves broke down and to be honest we played it back to the midfield too much when we were getting forward... plus the fact that Brighton were playing around 8 men behind the ball. All those things made it very difficult to create anything worthwhile... we should have had a penalty though... was SUCH a handball!
Tilley Posted 27 January 2009 Posted 27 January 2009 Tonight showed alot about our strength in depth, or lack of.
