However, you do what you do to try and get an advantage. No matter if it’s shithousery or whatever it is. The ref was weaker than a can of carling and let them get away with it all game. Until he found his bollocks at 85 mins and booked their number 10 for feigning injury. We did enough to win, save for a 15 minute spell at the start of the second half. We need an extra game like a hole in the head, and it seems it will likely be between Plymouth and Ipswich. Which is far from ideal! Ah well. We’re still in the hat. The other side of all this, I managed to watch the match at home, was fucking grateful I had not travelled 2 plus hours each way for the privilege. To say its part of football, the dark arts and anti football, true but in the end folk will gradually turn their backs on going if they don't try and find a solution. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkowlthesexynewversion Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Actually us going a goal down forced our hand to make the subs to grasp control of midfield, up the tempo somewhat and attack with more purpose. I know folk like Paterson but he was woeful in the front two today And for sure next week we play 3 in midfield, Bannan, Byers and Vaulks. Windass only plays if off a main striker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one problem there: Windass is our main source of goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank_Owl2,0 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I agree MK it wasn’t Patos best game up top. As Mick said on RS after the game the waste of space of ref mus have been on holiday when all the refs were briefed about time wasting etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owling_Wolf Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Haven't we had enough shite to put up with today? What have we done to have that evil dwarf Michael Brown on the EFL prog? 👿 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 One thing I will say about yesterday that was a positive was the atmosphere. It seemed better than recently. The fans who got loud didn’t seem to need that initial spark to get going. Hopefully it’s even better next week! Although I think that’s a given Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am saying play him around one other striker Just not seen any evidence that it really works with him and 2 others. it leaves us weak in the midfield area which compromises us attacking wise and leaves the defence to sort out any other issues - which long may they continue but we cannot rely on that for the next 20 odd games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrolMong Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 It’s got to be Smith/Gregory/Paterson with Windass/Wilkes I happen to think it’s an area of the pitch we haven’t quite got right. There is no ‘hang your hat on them’ striker in there. I also wouldn’t play Windass in that midfield three either. His game in that position is about his runs from deep, but he’s not overly disciplined when we don’t have the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf to Windass he's tracked back quite a bit and worked harder off ball than I thought he would. I think one of his best spells with us was when he played upfront on his own under Pulis. I wouldn't recommend we go back to that but fir me it's him upfront with whoever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
