To be fair the shot took a massive deflection from Aribo - who fucking wimped out and turned his back. Ramsdale didn’t stand a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintant Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Fulham had 39% possession today yet had 22 shots half of which were on target and won 3-1. possession football....go figure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerx16 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Other than blocking at Archer's feet, how many saves did their keeper make ? With Baz or Macca in goal we would have lost. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patches O Houlihan Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 7 minutes ago, AlexLaw76 said: Standard Martin out There was nothing wrong with the tactics or team selection: Play out to encourage a 4 or 5 man press - then play it over them into space for Archer and Fraser to run on to. Way way too easy to try to pin that on Martin. Archer missed one after doing well to enable it BBD missed a couple of opportunities Stewart could have done better getting on a couple of crosses. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madge Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Martin needs to get his head out of his arse.. our strikers are shite, is tall Paul really that much worse than Ross Stewart who to Be fair looked average. Tall pauL has scored goals in turkey.. he has to be given a chance and we need to play a formation that can accommodate him.. we had offensive free kicks and passed backwards when we need a 2nd goal. But we’re totally fecked under Martin if we can’t beat Ipswich. Long depressing season ahead. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Martin needs to go. No need to bring on Aribo and shore things up. All it did was add on more time and then uh oh Joe deflected in the equalizer (felt like a winner). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vectraman Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 4 minutes ago, saintant said: Why do we always seem to concede late goals either at the end of the first half or end of matches? Especially as all the possession crap is meant to wear the opposition down and we pounce when they’re tired. Not working is it? Pointless passing for no gain whatsoever. Don’t get it and never will. Possession is pointless without purpose. Sigh. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver Saint Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Sooooooooooo predictable! What is it with Ipswich and conceding late late extra time goals. We defend corners way too deep...no way should that shot get through a block. I wonder just how big those two points lost will be at the end of the season. We needed that win. Haven't sworn as much for a long long time. What's the point of all that endeavour when you throw it away at the last. Subs took away from momentum. You just knew that chance Diaz blazed over the bar when it could of put the game to bed would cost us. Sure lots of positives...Fernandes is great. Lesley gonna be really good, Dibling a phenom, Ramsey some great saves (but also not the best distribution), Downes a good game, Suguwara a good player... But man, we had to see that game out. Very very frustrating. 😠 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're the better team second half and they got a jammy equaliser at the death. Yep. If we’re being honest a draw was a fair result. Obviously gutting though, back to that familiar last minute goal against in the Prem feeling! There were positives, Fernandes, Dibling obviously, Ramsdale, others looking like they are growing into it at this level (THB, Downes), Sugawara looks like he belongs here, Stewart (in the bits I saw between fucking glitching streams) looked kind of capable(?), Archer at least had some decent chances and was a tad unlucky, esp for the first. To temper all that this is Ipswich at home, literally our most winnable fixture and it was a right old struggle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSaint Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 We are playing out from the back less, and playing it back into the back more.

Saint86 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 (edited) Reality is that we played well, but we didn't take our chances and Martin bottled it at the end with the subs and changes. That an Ipswich once again are the luckiest team i've ever seen us play. 3 times now. absolute joke. Out strikers are just not good enough for this level, which may well send us down. As an aside, how many millions have SR spent now to still not replace danny ings... Who i think is outscoring (or at least matching) our current strikers, despite playing in a struggling Spam side.
