:Let's talk about the Bromley game

[dickos1]

He’s playing the game,
Regardless of how hard they worked,
The fact is we’ve created a lot of good situations, but the final ball and final decision cost us,
Their keeper has made 7 or 8 saves which we should’ve done better with.
But any neutral watching that game wouldn’t  be coming away saying they deserved the win,

[dickos1]

As in the Chesterfield game, we were outwitted, outfought, hardly picked up any second balls, far inferior physically, apart from McGrath. They were more energetic & fought for every single ball, fair play they deserved their win. For us, we look like a play off team more than a top 3 side in my opinion.

What a ridiculous post, how anyone could watch that game and say they deserved their win is pathetic.

Well Grant McCann has just said exactly this soo is he pathetic?

He’s trying to get a reaction out of the players. We were clearly the better team.

Exactly

A up here comes the little name caller. In my opinion, yes, my opinion, &  I'll say it again for you, they deserved that win tonight. They were physically better, had more energy, won most second balls, were brave going forward, throwing men in the box when they did, defended resolutely, & had a keeper who stopped everything that got behind their defence. Well deserved win for a side that play to their strengths.

Disagree,  we weren't better than them. We huffed and puffed for 70 minutes because of their work rate off the ball.
They passed it quicker than us too.

Listen to Grants post match interview, he said they deserved to win

[TonySoprano]

PS
Their goal summed it all up
How?

A terrific corner routine by the way.
Really caught us out.

A terrific corner routine ?? Their player had acres of space, and had the time to swing and miss, reset and have another go !
Embarrassingly bad !

[Lesonthewest]

I was looking forward to Bradford, now I'm dreading it. Play like we did tonight and they will muller us by 3 or 4.

Sterry and Maxwell are both good going forward, but are suspect defensively. If crosses are allowed in for Andy Cook, we'll be in big trouble.

We badly need our forwards to perform on Saturday to get anything out of this game.

We won’t get beat by 3 or 4 if we play like that,

You seem to be stating that as a fact, know some stuff don't you.

Do you not agree with mcann when he said the same ?

Not just your opinion, this is exactly what happened. Yes we can get forward and chip the ball into the box but then we’re completely ineffective with it. They had one decent chance and took it. We had what felt like a thousand chances and threw every single one away.

[mushRTID]

I thought Bromley were good.

Didn’t sit back after going a goal up, got forward and gave it a go.

Yes they time wasted but who wouldn’t.

We just didn’t do enough.

[Barmby Rover]

Rovers could not produce any way of breaking down a defence which has left them a few places from bottom in this league. The move forwards is too slow, it is not producing the crosses that Joe and Billy can feed off, and they are not finishing at the moment. There is a ridiculous amount of talent in this squad, it is not producing the goods at the moment.

We were camped in their half for almost all the game, we had 22 shots, 65% possession, created a number of situations that should of lead to goals and we could’ve scored 5 or 6.
They time wasted from the 11th minute because they knew they were hanging on.
So yes they worked hard, yes they pressed well, yes they defended well, but in no way did they deserve to win the game.

[Michael Shaw]

How can anyone seriously say we were the better team when we lost at home to a team 20 places lower?
There are some stupid posts on here.

[Thorney]

Yes they deserved to win.

They came with a game plan and executed it perfectly.

We had a plan that did not work. And then just stuck with it with hit and hope balls into the box which their giant defenders moped up.


We was always gonna dominate possesion and have the more shots.
Bromley will always lose out on that side of things this season, they know that and have set the tactics to combat this.

We need to learn how to break teams down and cut through them.
So far its predictable, pass about at the back, play it across field and then try to find the player out wide who lifts it into the box.

[dickos1]

What does the league position have to do with which team was better on the night?

So in saying that dickos, if we draw man city in the fa cup and they end up having 80% of the poesseion, most likely 40 shots and fail to score but we defend for our lives and crack 1 in feom a corner are you gonna take your red tinted glasses off and say we did not deserve to win??

Not every game should be judged on the stats

[McCammon egg n chips]

Positive: we created lots of chances
Negative: we didn't convert one of them

Bromley did what they needed to. Clever corner routine and poor defending, 1-0 is all they needed for three points.

I thought we played okay but obviously not clinical enough. Can't say we were the better team. All bark and no bite.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

We just lacked quality where it mattered tonight and ran out of ideas.

Byron Webster did tonight, what he did for us that night at the Blades all those years ago when we won 1-0 because they didn't have the brains or quality to break us down.

Generally, we were fine up to the final third but after that we were poor.

I think only Hurst when he came on, actually tried to hurt them. Gibson and Molyneux had no end product tonight. Alot of our deliveries into the box were poor percentage balls but even the few decent balls in, our centre forward wasn't positioned where we want him to be.

Credit to Bromley. They got a bit of luck with the goal and then defended manfully without parking the bus.

Of course!
If a team batters another team but can’t score then they were still the better team and should’ve won the game.

I think some of the balls were decent balls but we just had nobody anticipating them as grant alluded to. A bit of luck tonight also with the ball falling to them inside the 6 yard box etc

[Chris Black come back]

It’s still not quite working is it. We are towards the top because we’ve got better players and a better manager than most sides, but I’d say for half the games this season we’ve not looked overly convincing. Not very consistent. Destroy some teams, stumble around others. Usually lose against dross. Hope we can start to deliver some consistency but even without this we are good.

They weren't 'hanging on' from the 11th minute though were they, in fact they looked like on more than one occasion like adding a second.

Don't understand your second line at all, doesn't make sense to me. Anyway, they did deserve their win.

Don’t bother les, he’ll just come back in a week or two’s time and say “well you look silly now don’t you!”

[Pliskin]

We have really struggled for goals at home. Since the 4-1 against Accrington we've scored 4 goals in 6 home games.

Our first instinct is to play safe and go backwards. Our attacking play is predictable, one-paced and lacking in quality. Our deliveries into the box from out wide are particularly poor.

Bromley aren't very good. To their credit, they worked hard, they were physical, and they were organised. But they will be fighting relegation. And we couldn't find an answer to the way they set up.

It's a bit of a concern to say the least

We're still in a decent league position. But in terms of performances, we haven't looked like a convincing promotion team so far this season.

You only focussing on the mis hit shot part.
They put all the big lads in our six yard box then played a low ball to the lad who came short for it.
He turned the ball directly into the path of the scorer.
Fair enough he fluffed the first attempt but because our defence was thinking about all the big lads in the box he was unmarked and had time to re set and fire a good shot into the net.
A well thought out and implicated corner routine.
To say it wasn’t is failing to understanding what actually happened.

[Dagenham Rover]

The goal was lucky, a miskick that went basically straight up and down and welly'd  in The goalkeeper played a blinder the s*tehousery falling over and time wasting in the 1st half from them was more than pathetic, with 4 7 footers across the back why the hell did we keep lofting them in even when we sent a lower ball in we couldn't get past the front post as they managed to become 3 foot tall and head it out. Yet to give credit they came out for the 2nd half the s*htehousery basically stopped and they weren't actually a bad team
