Losing from winning positions

[CWD]

This is starting to become a real issue now IMO. I hope we don't end up looking back over the season and thinking 'we'd have stayed up if only we'd held on there...'. Reminds me on 04/05.

 

The main problem, which was particularly evident today, seems to me to be that we play really well, score a goal, and then don't kick on. Both goals today came after a few minutes a high intensity, high tempo football, but seconds after the goal we look to be on the back foot again. I've lost count of the amount of games I've watched this season and said "looks like us scoring has given the opposition a kick up the arse".

 

FWIW I still firmly believe we'll stay up, but I think it needs addressing.

We scored early against the run of play. It's a bit disingenuous to talk about 'holding on' when we scored after 2 mins!

Was not against the run of play, we started vv well.

its when you gift goals that hurts

 

swansea, norwich, fulham at home spring to mind

 

away at stoke should have been a victory....away from home, 3-1 against 10 men..you HAVE to take them gifts

For 5 minutes. We got battered that first half. Goals were always coming.

Yeah but for the first few mins we were the better side, and then we scored. Bit harsh to say against the run of play.

 

And I'm not being disingenuous, because clearly I'm talking about more games than just today.

Why has it taken this far to start worrying. All those points Adkins threw away will come back and haunt us
