BUMP ! That is us being brought back down to earthPOP! - That is our bubble
bursting
Nah, not really, our second string went out of a Cup that we have no interest
in, in front of 18,500 (mostly) disappointed fans.It was not a good day at the
office and last nights team and performance had none of the style or tempo we
have been getting used to in the league
We were very much on the back foot from the off - I was still sorting myself
out (always take a swig of Oramorph when I get to my seat) so I did not see why
the penalty was given, but none of our players complained. The Preston lad
stepped up very cocky and smacked in a great penalty 0-1
Minutes later it could have been 2 as a shot took a deflection and just went
wide.
We then got into it a little bit with a couple of half chances but there was
little cohesion in our game. A bad punch from their keeper landed straight on
Pontus' head but his header was cleared off the line.
Then came what should have been a defining moment for us - a horrible looking
two footed lunge on Baker led to a straight red. So around 60minutes to go and
11 v 10 surely we would go on and win?
We huffed and puffed as the half wore on but never really looked sharp enough
in and around the box to get the equaliser.
We then got caught out on the break as Brendon Barker drove forward beating a
couple of men with ease and fired home a great shot into the corner leaving
Blackman no chance. A quality goal from a quality player- he is on loan from
Man City and I remember us being linked with him, so much so that I watched a
youtube video montage of him and was very impressed indeed
So 2 down at half time but a man advantage - time and the possibility of
turning it round.
We sent on Saiz and Klich. Saiz looked absolute head and shoulders above
everyone else on the pitch and nearly created a goal back but Bamford missed a
sitter
We continued to huff and puff with Saiz the maestro but it never quite worked -
we sent on Alioski as well but he could not retrieve the situation and indeed
blasted his one chance over the bar when the keeper messed up and the goal was
empty
So our first defeat, but not a real one given the starting line up
The worry was that none of the fringe players impressed at all. Not one of them
gave the impression of being ready for the first team. Blackman, Roberts, Baker
and Harrison all looked average at best. Even more of a worry was that a
genuine first teamer, Bamford looked quite poor and made a mess of a couple of
decent opportunites. Dallas was his normal 'Mr Average'
Saiz looked a class above and Pontus did Ok and it is another 90mins for him
So not a great night but not one that will count for anything - bring on Boro
on Friday and we will see if it is bump and pop or , hopefullly it will be
another triumph for Bielsaball and the man on the bucket
Dave
