Bert Posted 19 February 2013 Share Posted 19 February 2013 Give me Kermogant over any of the other strikers that are on the bench at the minute. He dominated our whole back line tonight. They pressed us better than anyone else has done all season. Anyway, just a poor performance all around, with what I'd say two individual errors for either of their goals. Drinkwater needs to just clear it, and Kasper was too far off his Line. There wasn't much, if any movement. There was too many bottled tackles, no-one seemed to want to step up to the plate. As soon as we went behind we resorted to long ball. Let's just hope the tide turns, because we need any result quick. This run can't continue else we could see our play-off position coming under threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmo86 Posted 19 February 2013 Share Posted 19 February 2013 We've been found out. Press us and we can play, chuck our shocking away form into the mix and it's playoffs at best. I'm out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 19 February 2013 Share Posted 19 February 2013 Again this thread shows the rather childish attempts at 'covering-up' reality. Yes, we are still in the play-offs, no I don't want to sack Pearson... However, accept that we again have lost a game tonight that we should have won, with the first goal conceded to a daft error. This is not the time in the season to be doing this. We have had a fantastic chance to cement a top two finish and have allowed it to slip away.. That's really not acceptable is it? I fear now that we will probably have to resign ourselves to play-offs at best, when that didn't need to be the case. It's frustrating but don't just 'excuse' our loss tonight with throwaway irony like 'yeah Pearson should be sacked shouldn't he'. No he shouldn't, but questions DO need answering.

TaffontheMersey Posted 19 February 2013 Share Posted 19 February 2013 If you think that you had a bad day at the office? Well we had divine intervention against us. 19 shots to 4, over 13 corners to 1, 65% possession and hit woodwork 5 times! TBH I think these are wrong, we had more corners. Would love to see the passing stats too. Brighton's Italian style time wasting and slowing down the ball was a sight to behold throughout the second half...didn't know whether to punch something or take it as a compliment. It was a sublime performance........and we lost. haha. Remind you of a particular fixture? On to the next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CKB Posted 19 February 2013 Share Posted 19 February 2013 Really disappointed and frustrated with that result, i just don't know what has happened to us! I know we got a few injuries recently but we can't go from being a decent team to a bad team overnight! However i do think it's time Pearson seriously looked at getting some loanees in... It could just be the tonic needed, few fresh faces that wanna impress and hopefully take us back on track and stop the complacency in the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitwickfox Posted 19 February 2013 Share Posted 19 February 2013 If Pearson could pull his head out of his own back side and open his eyes, he would just see we aren't good enough with this set of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend_in_blue Posted 19 February 2013 Share Posted 19 February 2013 Utter garbage. When will NP tactically get it right against a tinpot outfit with 11 behind the ball? 442 does not cut it and swapping like for like does not cut it either. Sort it out. Not good enough.

flowwolf Posted 19 February 2013 Share Posted 19 February 2013 We are one dimensional under Pearson's tactics and have been found out big time. All they had to do was close us down and we had no room to do our passing game and no plan B to change too when that inevitable tactic was played against us. Some people need to get it into there thick heads that we are simply not good enough for a automatic spot and never have been all season. All we have done is flatter to deceive. We will be lucky to even get a playoff spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrill Bert Fox Posted 19 February 2013 Share Posted 19 February 2013 Lets see who can overreact to this statement. In reality apart from about 6 matches this season our performances have been average at best and all that's happened is we have got away with it in the past. Now we are being found out!! No midfield ball winner all season - and don't give me that Drinkwater rubbish if he's a ball winner I will play for England in the next World Cup.

It's frustrating but don't just 'excuse' our loss tonight with throwaway irony like 'yeah Pearson should be sacked shouldn't he'. No he shouldn't, but questions DO need answering. Pearson's post match interview was especially poor tonight. I've always abided his arrogance and dourness and I've backed him throughout both reigns, but he didn't sound like a promotion-winning manager to me. In his first spell I heard him often criticise our players even after wins, the logic being to keep them on their toes. He never does this now. His support for these players is almost unconditional. It wavers as frequently as his tactical approach to games. When he was more aggressive in his post-match assessment - against Burton and Millwall - we subsequently went on winning runs. Tonight was apologetic beyond reason. Could it be that a bit of stick brandished, in a sea of carrot, works from time to time? I heard these phrases uttered tonight: 'These things happen' (x3) 'We have been excellent this season for the most part' (repeated for the past six or seven interviews on the trot... now 'mostly decent' I would accept, but if we are aspiring towards automatic promotion that 'excellent' is, frankly, deluded) 'You can't win every game' (which is worrying close to making it sound okay to lose) And - worst of all - when asked whether he was worried about a nine point gap opening up between us and second, he said 'you can't do anything about it' before cutting himself short and remembering we'd just lost two games against relegation candidates. If his post match interviews are any reflection on what he says to the players, and there are some indications that they are (e.g. Gallagher's post match comments) then don't expect things to get better any time soon.

foxesfan1705 Posted 19 February 2013 Share Posted 19 February 2013 The Squad isnt good enough, outside of a one or two signings and some players on loan, we are still relying on players that are miles away. We have a good run, however we still create alot of chances and dont score enough goals. The difference (in general) despite a good goal differnce is that our strikers do not score enough goals vs the chances created and Kasper does not make enough match winning saves, i dont think he is ever makes the differnce in winning a game.

Kermo had a fantastic game tonight, he was simply too good for us tonight. Again... Excuses Of course we should have won the game! We are a near the top of the table side, with a full strength squad, at home, against a very average Charlton team. Yes they thwarted us very well tonight but they aren't a good team.. Look at their league position. We SHOULD absolutely have had enough in the tank to break them down and to win this match. Again, this shows to me that actually, we are still lacking sufficient quality to 'get the job done' when we bloody need to. Hull won again, Watford go matching on.. But we lose. So YES! Questions do need answering and pretty quickly. Even Forest look like they could come up in the rails, rejuvenated by Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
