SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 14 February, 2021 Share Posted 14 February, 2021 When we made complaints against officials a few weeks ago I found it odd that we didn't also complain about Graham Scott for his part in the VAR decision in the match against Villa. Now we have seen him again making dodgy decisions against us. While most referees have moved on from the crazy interprtation of the handball rule which plagued football at the start of the season, it seems that Graham Scott has used the uncertainty as an excuse to give a big decision against Saints. No doubt he will be on the phone to his mates Deam and Mason to celebrate tonight. 😒 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft Kerplunk Posted 14 February, 2021 Share Posted 14 February, 2021 8 minutes ago, trousers said: Just because we started the 2nd half poorly doesn't mean the woeful officiating didn't make a significant difference. It did. Fans can focus on penalties though, the players should have come out fired up in the second to carry on applying pressure and be on the front foot. Any team playing us that is 1 nil down at half time knows they can come at us early doors and we will fold. We have a mentality problem. Super harsh penalty but that only made it 1-1. We’ve been weak in our attitude yet again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertyell Posted 14 February, 2021 Share Posted 14 February, 2021 Fucking hell, six defeats in a row - and Chelsea next, so that'll be seven. Looks like KWP is injured again, so that's terrific. Snap your hand off for six more points and probable survival. Can't see where they're coming from any time soon. Still keeping an eye on Fulham and West Brom's results...

The game is being ruined, never felt so pissed off with football. Can deal with being out played and losing but there are a few games lately that have been decided against us by refereeing decisions. Indeed. We had plenty of poor second half performances during our 'top 6 form' run in 2020, but we were able to ride out the storm more often than not. Whilst not the sole factor, the woeful officiating has definitely been the straw that broke the camel's back on numerous occasions in recent times.

Dimplex Posted 14 February, 2021 Share Posted 14 February, 2021 So when we play other teams who need an equaliser against us in the last few minutes they go all out, throw everything at us and score. Yet when we need a goal we do absolutely nothing apart from fannying around passing side to side at the back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tajjuk Posted 14 February, 2021 Share Posted 14 February, 2021 What people don't realise is confidence is going to be fragile in this team and we are basically going week in and week out to decisions that screw that team over, how do you think they feel when basically every time they play, the ref is giving the opposition a goal or taking one of those away in a blunder. They have basically been playing against 12 men every week. And goals change games, Wolves don't get that absurd pen, they are not back in the game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nta786 Posted 14 February, 2021 Share Posted 14 February, 2021 I think with Ralph- we know Plan A works- its a good plan, but it is a plan that needs 110% from our players and when you have limited players like we do who don’t make it count when we are on top- then you always leave yourself exposed to an opposition comeback I know this is a congested season, but I get the feeling Ralph knows our team is limited technically so the only way to get results against teams is to outrun them. I’m not entirely sure what the solution is- do we coach a plan B into this team? What plan B is there when your players are both limited and leggy/tired?

S-Clarke Posted 14 February, 2021 Share Posted 14 February, 2021 (edited) You could argue that this team is the worst team in our history. Might sound quite a brash statement to make, but this lot have lost 9-0 twice and have just lost 6 games in a row - the most this club has ever lost in a row in any league. We are mentally weak, fragile and lack any sort of leadership. When the chips are down we wilt, every single time. That won't change without significant changes in the playing squad, which is something we can't do as we have an owner who doesn't support us. Long and short of it, we are fucked. No idea where we are heading. Edited 14 February, 2021 by S-Clarke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
