    Its just not clicking, the pass is loose or there is a Brentford player positioned perfectly. They are pretty well drilled defensively.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,441 ✭✭✭Hijpo


    Im getting extremely annoyed (no matter who is playing) with players just straightening out their legs and falling over in the box if there is anyone near them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,044 ✭✭✭10000maniacs


    Nmecha is championship fodder at best.

    Kellagher goes down feigning injury so Andrews can have a strategy conference with his players.

    Cheating.

    Yet more cheats at 22 minutes in…….they need to something about this. Put the keeper off for 2 minutes….



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,789 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Simple rule solution....player goes down like that, said player is off the field for 10 mins. Even if its the keeper

    yet another brutal ref. Where do they find these shitheads?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 795 ✭✭✭Neewollah


    In big big trouble now again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,044 ✭✭✭10000maniacs


    That was fun.

    394 mins since our last goal.

    Drawing ourselves to safety is a risky strategy because we will need more than 40 points this season.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,846 ✭✭✭sonofenoch


    Dan James has become a waste of a sub nothing to offer, should be Gnonto ahead of him everytime



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,704 ✭✭✭✭whiterebel


    Looks like the ref has managed to p!ss off both coaches. How can they be 7th playing the dogshite they do?

    It is written that it will come down to the final game against West Ham.

    Jarrod Bowen will score a worldie assisted by Summerville and then park the bus.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,399 ✭✭✭newhouse87


    West ham will be safe by then. Its forest or us imo.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,044 ✭✭✭10000maniacs


    We need to up our game from how we played tonight or we are not beating Burnley or Wolves.

    Nmecha proved tonight he is not the answer to any success at this level.

    There is still a big question mark over Justin too.

    When Okafor and Tanaka came on, this improved our attacking levels. Brentford were suddenly in a panic.

    Gnonto should have come on instead of James. Incredibly wasteful tonight. Just rusty maybe?

    I don't think we are in a bad situation, teams above us set up to defend. The teams below will have to set up to attack especially at this time in the season. We are better than those teams in this situation. I believe we will stay up.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,441 ✭✭✭Hijpo


    I felt that there were two contributing factors, 1 we were not effective going forward and 2 Brentford were pretty well drilled to defend when we did actually move the ball quickly.

    I thought it was a 1 goal winner for either team and another one of those games were I think we beat most in the bottom half but just couldn't get that goal or golden opportunity.

    I think we have enough grit and determination to stay up, unfortunately we also have to rely on decent officials, blatant fake injuries and the luck of the opposition. I dont think its "in our hands" yet.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,410 ✭✭✭Ceist_Beag


    Didn't see the game Saturday night so can't comment on that but looks it's Leeds so deep down we all expected this would not be wrapped up nice and early. We're inching our way to 38 points and we're still ahead of our target points haul at this point in the season so personally I'm still happy with where we are. One home win coupled with a couple of gritty draws could be enough, two home wins should be enough. I wonder could this be a season where more than 40 points are needed to stay up?

    Spurs are in real danger. Their next move in terms of the manager is a massive one. We should be targeting 6 points from our next 4 games. We don't really want to be travelling to Spurs needing a win but of course once again, we're Leeds…

    It should be said as well that West Ham are under huge pressure to pick up wins in their next 3 games because after that they are away to Brentford, home to Arsenal and away at Newcastle.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,846 ✭✭✭sonofenoch


    If we can maintain our 3pt lead over Spurs before we go there a draw might be enough, unlikely they beat Chelsea and Everton last 2…….4pts and a win would be mathematic safety, in saying that of course Leeds never get it finished up nice and early



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,145 ✭✭✭Carcharodon


    Like most years, there will more twists and turns but I think what will probably happen is that none of these teams in the relegation battle are reallly good enough to pull away, it will come down to a bit of luck, if we just had that little bit of extra firing power I think we would be good but it’s all a bit tense now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,410 ✭✭✭Ceist_Beag


    So Spurs have gone with DeZerbi. It sounds like they are almost planning for a rebuild starting in the Championship. I mean he's not the kind of manager you bring in when you are looking for an immediate impact or to grind out some points in the remaining 7 games. He's the kind of guy who needs time to implement this methods. Here's hoping anyway.

    Croke Park on 12th August is confirmed. Pre-sale tickets for members and season ticket holders on sale later today. General sale from 10th April. The game is subject to us not being relegated and not being involved in the Community Shield.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,846 ✭✭✭sonofenoch


    Gone quite big on that lineup today, bar maybe 1 or 2 that's a starting team in the league



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,789 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Think it's a good lineup. Not quite full strength, but get minutes in some fringe players. A chance to get to Wembley on a cup run isn't frequent, may as well put some effort into it



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,410 ✭✭✭Ceist_Beag


    Disappointed Gnonto isn't starting but apart from that can't complain. Is James injured from the international games?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,958 ✭✭✭adaminho


    James has an abductor strain and could miss a few weeks, Gudmundsson has a groin issue so isn't being risked. I was torn about this match a few weeks ago but I really want to win it now.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,441 ✭✭✭Hijpo


    Huge save by Perrie.
