After having our first points of the season stolen from us by a linesman who must be colour blind (People with reduced blue sensitivity have difficulty identifying differences between blue and yellow, violet and red and blue and green. To these people the world appears as generally red, pink, black, white, grey and turquoise) So now we are off to the Mad Stad to take on the high flying Royals who we have only beaten twice the last was 21 years ago and we will be looking for the officials to give us a break to be honest I'm not sure what is the worst Championship officials or VAR I think that since the introduction of VAR the standard of the officials has deteriorated. Gaz is likely to make a few changes to the starting line up with another four games to play in the next 12 days Horgan should start Charles may return along with Bloomfield JJ could drop to the bench. Its another game to watch on ifollow and I have received my code for my match pass and I will be hoping we can upset the odds and get a result
It's getting there I hope when you look at the table we have had a horrible run of fixtures we have now played 3 of the current top six & after Saturday it will be four of the top seven & we are still only 3pts behind Derby. If we were losing to teams just above us I would be a bit more worried
It’s that one against Rotherham that gets me. A point on the first day of the season would have settled the nerves, the longer it goes on the harder it will become.
We lost that game because nobody was on the near post for the corner, as an ex keeper i demanded a defender on both posts every time.
Yet more progress. Longest we've gone without conceding And me. We were in full control of that game and should have won. Until Reading scored they had not had a single shot, let alone on target. We had 10 shots with just 3 on target which were all to the centre of the goal and easily saved. We desperately need a goal scorer or two. Until we can get the ball into the net regularly we are what is technically known as ****ed
Surely this has'nt come as a surprise, when JJ the left back is our top goalscorer last season,we got away with it a bit last season. Gareth seems to prefer playing either Kashket or Samuel up on their own, to me you need two up front playing off one another. Kashket & Samuel are likely to have a chance if the defenders make a mistake like on Saturday but as for out & out chances we don't play like that.
