Unbeaten slump!

Indeed, 14 games to go and a healthy lead still intact.

Lead extended to 21pts.

It'd be good if we could play through the middle a bit more.   Too reliant on Barisic and Tav's crosses - which wasn't working well today.

 

Aribo had a poor game and Kent was his usual self, with no real end product. 

 

Motherwell defended well.

 

Just one of those days when things weren't really going our way.

Once again we faced a wall of 10 players across the 18 yard line! very difficult to break down

Agree with that, on another day either Goldson's header goes in, someone is there to tap in Tav's header back across goal, or Defoe's late shot goes in. Wasn't our day but didnt lose.

Second half was virtually one-way traffic, again, IMHO, SG must jump over his shadow and hook Kent when he needs too. Lots of running, enthusiasm but no end product whatsover. Couldn`t fathom why he hooked Hagi. IMHO, as soon as Roofe is back, we need him alonsgide Aribo and Hagi ... or maybe even try a Morelos, Itten and Roofe attack line.

 

As the Scum threw points away yesterday, no harm done. The victory streak is gone, we are still unbeaten ... and over the course of a season, such games are bound to happen ...  and we`ll probably have more. Still, it was disappointing not to put them to the sword, that turn and shot of Defoe was worthy of a winning goal.

Disappointing but after a poor first half I was glad to get a point I didn’t see us getting.

we really must do something about the sluggish starts we’re making to games which we saw again in the first half today.

And I also think Kent’s form ( or lack of it) is a worry.

Much better second half than the walking football in the first . We always struggle against teams like today that are well drilled and don’t leave spaces in behind , we really missed Roofes guile today , but no damage done .

 

Anyone who thought we would win every game was deluded , we have come out of this weekend with no damage done , the other mob are still shite and in turmoil , we have players , important players , coming back from injury .

 

All in all it’s another game towards 55 , that’s all that matters .

[Devil's advocaat 1,617]

It's natural to be disappointed, but that's a decent result, still sitting great.

 

Noticeable lack of contact at the goal celebration, have to say our professionalism throughout this season has been exemplary.

 

Onward and upward.
