BlackSocksRedTops 3,752 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 My only concern with Arfield is that do we need to play him with Jack? The both do similar jobs tbh 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Let's not forget he had every right to send our keeper off if he or the other officials had seen it. Said it also on the main thread but if we are looking at the ref for reasons why we lost today, IMO we are looking in the wrong place 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry compo but that will get only get us so far IMO. Let's just be smarter, quicker, braver on the ball, less route one and about 20 yards up the pitch. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was 30 mins left so by the law averages there was a pretty decent chance they would have scored after this incident But they didn’t score. The result was 1-0 and the goal was one that shouldn’t have stood. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbr 1,256 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Last thought on today , and for me this puts everything into perspective , they spent more on Edouard , than we have assembling an entire squad , just let that sink in a moment . We have had 1 transfer widow and 13 weeks under the new management team,we have undertaken a program of games, including becoming the first British team , and only 8th team in history to qualify for the Europa group stages from the 1st qualifying round ,and we have went to 3 away grounds in the opening 4 weeks . I am fully optimistic that this is going to be a successful season . 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they scored they sat back somewhat, Of course they would have thats the object of the game after all. But theres a big difference between pushing for a goal and actually scoring one. I personally think they could have played all day and not scored against our defensive set up. StuGer point is correct no one actually knows, including Stevie G, why the ref allows play on when the other officials are indicating that the ball has been fouled. Further on that, although IMO Ejaria didn't have a good game, I fully believe that if he makes a tackle on either Rogic or Ncham as they are breaking then Willie Collum would have sent him off. I have absolutely no doubts about that! Edited September 2, 2018 by Big Jaws 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Moon 1,295 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I haven't read back so apologies if any of this has been said. Overall I am not too disappointed. We defended very well. The inexperience of the team showed and I think we were a bit overawed at times but we didn't implode like previous seasons. I am also sure that tiredness was a factor. We will grow from this and by the time we play them again we will have a few months of playing together under our belt. I was disappointed with the starting line up and hoped to see Candeias starting as he takes the pressure off Tav. I thought Kent should have gone at half time and Arfield was very disappointing. The manager was far too late with his subs and I hope he learns much from this experience today. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
