Decent point today. Really impressed with our defensive efforts today, looking much more solid under Gomes. Moore was outstanding, as was Martinez. However, although we had a few decent chances, we do look so toothless upfront. Thought Aluko played well and worked really hard. Barrow was great at tracking back and creating space, but really wasteful in key positions. Felt Swift was our best offesive player today, but he needs a focal point upfront. Bod wasn’t on long enough and Meite seemed to be playing as one of our 16 wingers when he came on. Still pleased with the result mind!
From what I could see on the stream : Martinez - 8 Yiadom - 7 Moore - 8 Miazga - 7 Blackett - 7 Baker - 5 Swift - 6 Rino - 5 McCleary - 4 Barrow - 5 Aluko - 6 Meite - 4 (why) Rino's worst game I've seen in a while, sloppy on the ball on one too many occasions. Swift and Aluko best two offensive players but can still do a lot more whilst McCleary was ineffective yet again. Seen Baker four times and just not convinced I'm afraid, would love to see Kelly in on Wednesday
Martinez happily dispelling by scepticism today. Just when are we going to be a team that looks like scoring a goal?
When Baker’s shot cannons off Hector and just wide of a comedy OG.......
Just seen the highlights, rode our luck at times there, especially the last minute miss, but given luck we could of had a couple ourselves.
Good saves by both keepers
Thanks for the report from somebody who went which is always good to read rather than the comments in the Matchwatch which involves a lot of guessing.. I think I'll have to start going to away games again if only to see the Aluko that we seldom see at home. Who played centrally up front?
Aluko was the ‘central’ striker....although he had licence to drift. The problem was that Barrow and GMac (as the wingers) had the same licence to switch wings. In one first half move, this ended up with Barrow, Aluko and GMac within about 5 yards of each other. GMac got lost in this set-up.....he didn’t really seem to know where he was meant to be. It certainly suited Aluko and Barrow more. In hindsight , starting with Bod or Meite up front and not playing GMac would probably have been a better fit.
After watching us today I feel like it's just going to be a coin-toss of whether we can stay up. Defensively we looked fairly solid, but it was only good luck and poor finishing from them that stopped us conceding. Whilst upfront we offered very little. I thought we attacked better in the first half, as soon as the subs came on we seem to lose any coherence. For me it's just a case of playing a fixed forward line for 5-6 games in a row (something that is really just going to be dependent on luck with our injuries). I have to say that Wednesday were a lot better than what I remembered from the few games I saw of them last year. In a… More →
Can only be a matter of time until we turn those draws into wins. Ipswich look down and out, Bolton very close to joining them then there’s us and Rotherham, with Millwall and Wigan losing their ground on us as we speak. Think it might be too little too late now though, not showing any signs of improvement attacking wise that suggest we can turn those draws into wins however...
Martinez and Miazga were absolutely outstanding yesterday. 2 brilliant signing by the club. If Oliveira played that might have made the difference between us collecting one point or three.
