Grim that I’m relieved we didn’t lose to Forest

If were not going to utilize dele he needs to go to Turkey or the MLS somewhere where his wages can be subsidized so another player can possibly be acquired and incorporated in the squad.

just woke up and seen we got a point...that's ok

Let me tell you, it was a lion-hearted performance by our heroes in blue. On another day it could have been 12-1, alas today we just got 1.

Lampard has to stop playing 5 at the back, don't care how crap we're, we continually go in to every game on the back foot

We started the game quite bright tho opening 20/25 wasn’t bad.

don't remember Mykolenko or Patterson doing anything in the final 3rd today.

I will stick my neck out now and say Patterson is useless. Looks to me like he would be quite happy going the 90 minutes not touching the ball. Genuinely can’t wait for Coleman to come back in and he’s also finished but still the best we currently have.

Why what would Coleman do differently?

A few more badge grabs? And I like Coleman.

I'm talking about the players. They should have been desperate to get back and get a winner

The RS players celebrated like winning the league after equalising against promoted Fulham and Palace, that’s football

We need an attacking threat, a mobile striker who can take goal chances.

I am surprised that none of you have realised this or mentioned it before.

We did a lot quite well but look completely blunt.

If Rondo ever plays a game for us again I might have to find a shirt pier and take a long walk.

 

[riddick]

I dunno, im still not that worried. We're playing MAAAASSSIVELY better than we did last year. We still have a bit more time to bring in players but who the hell knows there. We need to shift a bunch of dead weight and there really is a bit troublesome we haven't moved anyone on really.

He would show for the ball and get up the pitch Patterson shouted for the ball once, seems happy to just ghost through the game instead of trying to get involved and make something happen mykolenko managed it a few times even if he is then too slow getting the ball in.

 

[Curtis]

Gibbs White looked the part when he came on. Gordon, on the other hand, hasn't ever really looked the part. Yes he was our player of the season, but we almost got relegated it's not really a sign that he was pure quality last year.

Defitinely Gordon can bring the ball down the pitch and pull some dazzling tricks but he creates minimal chances for others and just wastes opportunities by blasting predictable easy defended shots. Gibbs looked a threat the entire time

 

[Cool_Blue]

Do we know how long DCL is out for?

I can assure you Patterson is not useless. I'm on record as saying he is still suspect defensively. I watch Scotland regularly. Patterson will tear it up attacking wise sometime soon in this league.
