TBF Firpo has scored two in two. Defensively he gets zero help from Solomon
and is also expected to be high up the pitch in attack. Not quick enough to do
both. Rothwell would be fine if Aaronsson wasn't so weak. Yeah he runs a lot
but nearly always comes out second best in duels. Today he was bloody awful.

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
