Are you obsessed?

It's pathetic .
He's what we've been given apart from the injured!
Understandable from an opposing supporter , but today I'm out scoring points.

 

[stupot07]

I thought Tavares was OK actually

He showed enough with his pace and directness to suggest we should be using him more than we do.

O hare injury puts a real dampener on the day

Just here to offer some balance! Some people bring him up almost every game (no, it’s not me)

 

[Deity]

Our first eleven are a match for any team in the division but after that the squad is too weak to sustain a play off push. Kelly and Waghorn coming on to no effect yet again proves the point. A few astute signings in the window and you never know ..... #pusb.

I think 3-1 down with 10 minutes to go against 10 men, perhaps throwing all the attacking players at your disposal on the pitch makes some sense.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Don't let that last 15 minutes take away from the fact we were well and truly beaten by the better team.

Too many under par performances today.

Since the world cup break

Played 4 W1 D1 L2.

Includes Sheff Utd, Swansea and WBA. Reading are the only 'below average' side we've played, and we were unfortunate there.

With a few million injected sure. At the moment we’ll sign Jagielka and like it

 

[SkyBlueSam01]

No one touched him, looks like hes done the ligaments at the back of his knee. Let's hope it's not an ACL. That could be our season fucked, we've only started looking good since he's been back.

Looked more like a hamstring to me, didn't see any ACL-type mechanism unless anyone has a clip? Interested to see what Robins says

 

[Finham]

Just a standard Allen performance really.

Probably his worst of the last 10 or so though, yeah?

 

[fatso]

I know this is a bit left field, but I'm wondering if Tavares could be used as a no10 (temporarily) if O'hare is out for a length of time, his pace and quick footwork could be ideal to link midfield with Gyokeres, and let's be honest, Allen, and Waghorn arnt the answer and Palmer hasn't exactly impressed.
And Tavares at least has an eye for goal which none of the other midfielders have.

Hope so!

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

If Kelly was fully fit he wouldn’t be good enough for this league it’s not just fitness it’s ability.

The goalie is rooted to his line and if he ever comes off makes bad decisions.

I am not sure how many of the squad are out of contract in the summer but if we have any cash available there should be a big list of casualties

Palmer will fit in and/or Allen.

If not O’Hare against Cardiff we will have to suffer watching Waghorn waddle about.

 

[wingy]

Re penalties?
Are we at the point where another should take ,, dependant on what they see at Ryton ?

I thought palmer did ok today. But often looks
Like he is happy to play on his own rather than a team.

He is pretty quick at making decisions but some of the players around are not on same wave length

Next season’s squad will be unrecognisable

This caller on cwr is talking a load of nonsense. Sheffield United didn't look like penetrating us...erm they scored 3 goals and we didn't even have a shot on target until the penalty.

I agree, and that’s what we did today. It’s just a shame the only attacking players we have to bring on are Waghorn and Tavares.

Waghorn is reliable but rarely starts. I’d get Hamer on them to be honest

Well that’s a separate discussion, but Walker and Godden both out for ages so it’s just unfortunate

What’s Walker done?

 

[jordan210]

What’s Walker done?

Injured picking up His wallet

 

[Tommo1993]

At the very, very least we need upgrades on Wilson, Allen, Kelly, Waghorn. Allen needs to be on fire to look like he’s competing at the level.

50% of our goals have come from one player. Injuries really haven’t been kind this season. If it lands on Gyokeres, we’re fucked.

Not for some on here it isn’t - apparently Tavares is the answer.

 

[steve101]

You can see why eccles and Burroughs were preferred to Dabo now. I cant recall him finding a city player when he came on.

They were preferred to Dabo because he was injured / not match fit. It was Dabo's first game in months. I think considering he looked sharp, controlled the ball well and whipped in some decent crosses. Burroughs has done well but they are different types of players.

 

[SkyBlueSam01]

Hopefully not... Although a recurrent hamstring wouldn't be ideal either...

Looked like he kicked out and extended his knee which would mean more likely hamstring rather than a weightbearing twist which would be more ACL, didn't see any decent replays though so could be wrong

 

[Matt smith]

January can’t come quick enough

we need a CB, LB desperately

 

[SkyblueDad]

It’s fine margins make it 1-1 straight after half-time it’s a different game.
Win our next two home games I reckon there’s good chance we’ll be in in the play-off spots with a game in hand and hopefully some new decent additions to the squad, onwards & upwards

Has he banged your missus or something? Your attitude towards him is odd.

Thought he was a long way from fitness?
