"Our performance was good and we dominated the game."

[NewBlue]

We had a couple. Flynn's near the end. We'd have created substantially more had our final passes been better.

The shot from 25 yards out through a crowd of men?

 

If we'd have won headers from the corners they wouldn't have scored either...

Header at the back stick (think it was Flynn).

[RobOAFC]

The chances I can remember were Erwins free-kick, Flynn's shot, Erwins header from a corner and whoever their keeper saved from at the end when it was 2-0. Possibly the shot Erwin had blocked when he should have shot first time.

 

That's 2, possibly 3 within the penalty box.

[BP1960]

'We had chances and opportunities'. Another 'we dominated the game'?

 

Did we actually have a single chance today? Agree with him that Mclaughlin made a difference when he came on but it was all territory and nothing more. Also glad he's fronted about the set-pieces issue. It's unsustainable to struggle to badly at them.

 

I have a feeling Anthony Gerrard will be fast tracked in.

I must've left by the time Flynn had that chance. Have never been one to leave early but this season I've done it multiple times. Absolutely no faith we will score in a month of Sundays. I've been to 5 home league games and haven't yet seen a goal. 8 matches in total and we've fired blanks in 6 of them...

I seem to be having a similar experience....

[BP1960]

The next home game is Doncaster, maybe the manager and coach should study how they conceded 4 goals today.

[NewBlue]

Someone on Twitter put a picture up of the training ground with a massive banner, presumably Robinson's initiative, saying 'be the best team out of possession'

 

Don't know what insight that gives us into what he's trying to achieve...

[palmer1]

In other words sit back and defend, hopefully we can sneak one!

 

I would magine the best team in possession wins the majority of the time, we wouldnt want to try that?

[boundaryblue80]

What a totally bizarre slogan to instill...so in other words...

 

Forget about the ball, just worry about the opposition!

[NewBlue]

I'm assuming it's followed by a 'btw lads also be the best team in possession' banner

[doctor evil]

One of the best teams in recent years out of possession has been Barca. Just sayin like.....

[nzlatic]

Plus the best team out of possession would get the ball back quicker and so have more possession.

Grasping more straws than a wanking scarecrow!

[BP1960]

It's only in recent years we have been fed possession stats, now there's an obsession with them and others such as the mileage players run.

Forget all these, just defend resolutely and get the ball in the opposition net.

[mcfluff1985]

Is he wrong or as well as the way they play with the ball have Barca been talked about for how they win it back as quickly as possible?

[boundaryblue80]

You guys crack me up. I can smell the desperation to justify it

[NewBlue]

There's nothing to justify.

 

It's just a slogan, which without context is irrelevant.

 

Bit of an overreaction I think.

[nzlatic]

Justify it? Just thought we were discussing what it meant.

 

Not everything has to be about who is in the 'switched on and know the real truth but won't say because you wouldn't understand' crowd and who is in the 'gullible/spoon fed :censored:/happy with mediocrity/desperate/happy clapper/deluded' group you seemed to have categorised people in.

[boundaryblue80]

Think you two need to go back and have a re-read...I was talking about justifying the Barcelona comment (which is completely irrelevant)

 

But the slogan is piss poor and a reflection of "The Man With The Plan" in my opinion. And the results go some way to reflecting it.

Why is the slogan piss poor? Is there anything you won't use to have a dig at the management/club/board?

[Magister]

We would have had another banner with another slogan but we don't have that sort of money! Where is he buying his banners? What a load of management bollocks. I particularly like his boast that we have only conceded 10 from open play......would it be churlish to point out that that is more goals than we have scored from open play set pieces own goals et al all added together

Change the bloody record. Can we talk about the Rochdale match-I am going-3 of us on the tram. Where is it lads, Weatherspoons?

Only until saturday!

Yes. Plenty of things I won't use.
