It was better than the away game which was probably one of the worst games for
years.
They showed little ambition 2nd half but who would blame them - well organised
but negative !
I think we look a little defensively light in central midfield when Rothwell
starts. I think he makes more of an impact as a sub.
I'd start with Gruev and Tanaka everytime.
Firpo cannot defend and all their best moments came down their right side.

Well after all the breathless excitement of our last 2 games this was back to
earth .It was a game that can be summed up with one word- "meh"
Its another point and a draw was about fair in an instantly forgettable
matchVery little happened at either end. Apart from the goals, they had one
good chance that went just past the post at 0 0 , we had a number of shots
blocked , Joseph hit the bar from a tight angle after a great run ( a cross may
have been the better option) and James headed a corner over and put a shot into
the side netting, but overall it was not at all exciting and there was no real
prospect of us repeating our recent heroics.
They were a decent side, did not tire ( unlike Sheff U and Sunderland) and were
well organised. We failed to hit our usual heights.
Our goal was another Firpo turns into Lee Chapman moment as he leapt to head a
cross from James into the net from the penalty spot. A good goal and seemed to
have set us on the right path
I then made the fatal mistake of telling my mate we are the only team in all 4
divisions not to concede from a header ( provided the sheff u goal was an og)
- cue a free kick into our box, Bogle left alone and in between 2 attackers at
the far post and one looped a header back across goal and in. Poor defending
So a poor performance and result but no need to panic, all of us would have
been delighted at 7pts from the last 3 games and dropping points v West Brom
causes us the least damage.
We are still top with a bit of a gap despite sheff u winning today and our
remaining games are all against teams outside the current top 7.
A disappointing day but no more than that
Dave
