He didn't set up the goal, he had a shot and his shot was blocked and rebounded out of the box to Mowett. I'd have said the same regardless of the defender.Their bloke got the ball out on the touchline for their 1st
He was allowed to run in to the area unopposed and set up the goal
Yeah but he tried to send him down the line and didn't want to give a penalty away, give me strength
Okay, he set up the opportunity by being allowed to run and cross unopposed.He didn't set up the goal, he had a shot and his shot was blocked and rebounded out of the box.
Don't agree. There's jockeying to show the guy the line and weaker foot or there's just backing off because you can't handle the guy. Bidwell was the latter . He was five yards off him.He's backing off as he's trying to show him line and not overcommit himself allowing to the player to cut onto his favoured left foot. He's also in the box, so doesn't want to over commit himself and give away a penalty. His backing off worked as the lad does cut in on his right foot and Bidwell blocked the shot. Bidwell did his job there.
Bidwell is without doubt the most over rated player on this forum.
Agreed.Sorry, can't have that JB was at fault for that 1st goal last night. ultimately blocked cross, then from the freeze frame of Mowatt striking ball - we were well populated, engaged enough on mowatt and his shot was not going to trouble Collins.
To concede from that position was so unlucky, we were staying narrow and flooding middle of pitch. Doesnt always have to be blame of someone - its was just so unlucky for us.
We actually defended better up until 70 mins - thereafter felt we gave up and became ragged
To biggest issue last night, amongst a few was the inability to take our chances. Thats cost us.
Agreed. Hes a solid player, no more and no less and the hero worship of him is a bit strange. Then again, many English football fans love a blood and thunder, average player.
We are sorely missing Haji, Collins keeps disappointing and Milan is looking clapped out.
Just shows I know fuck all about anything.
I don't even understand the xg all I know is there's no xg from me and if we do score its a bonusif ever there was a game to show just how bullshit the XG stat is, it’s probably this one - haven’t even looked at it but I would imagine ours is ridiculous
Could we try Eccles if I’m not wrong he played there during his development here especially if it’s just one or two gamesYes MVE looks absolutely knackered.
Unfortunately the only alternative is Latibeaudiere. Might have to take the hit of playing him there for a game just to try and get van Ewijk back to his old self.
Exactly, WBA were nothing special but just turned up and won like the majority have against us
My logic is either you trust the manager and keep him. Or you don’t trust his judgement and remove him. You can’t claim you wanted 3 play offs in five seasons and then suddenly change that measurement because your manager told you something different, but then decide that manager’s judgement is not good to actually keep him in the job haha. It’s just confused thinking. Simple as that.So your logic is not to trust what the manager tells you then ? haha
Nope I wouldn’t expect that. His original measurement of 3 play offs in five seasons seemed a reasonable one. He then had to justify getting rid of the manager, so changed it by saying the squad was top 6 quality and the manager wasn’t delivering that. He dug (no pun intended) himself into a hole.Also I repeat what I said previously . You seriously expect King to come out and say the players are shit and nowhere good enough for the top 6 ?
Get real.
Which was he at fault for. I’ll be interested for you to tell meHe does. By all means give Dasilva stick when he fucks up, he deserves it. Just be consistent with it. Bidwell is totally immune from criticism by some, it's really weird. He was at fault for a few goals at the start of the season which seems to have been forgotten about.
It's not a reasonable one with a mid table budget. It means you need to over achieve every year. You might be able to do it occasionally but it's not going to happen year in year out when you are prepared to sell/not rd sign your best players to fund the following season.Nope I wouldn’t expect that.

It can only work if your 'moneyball' decisions all work out good.It's not a reasonable one with a mid table budget. It means you need to over achieve every year.

Wilson did exactly the same when Robins brought him back from the dead last season. Saved 1 shot in 4 or 5 games, an absolute pea roller, and generally flapped about.Please fl drop Collins. Worst keeper out the three. Has he actually saved a shot yet as it seems everything hit beats him and as for his boots are rhey superglued to the goal line
