Lack of belief
Comments (6)
It would be easy to go overboard after today's result but with a bit more belief we could have won it. Why we resorted to hoofball again after our recent displays is beyond me, I know Mikel and Ossie were missing but were better than that. We had chances in the second half to win it but lacked conviction.
Worst part for me was Davey putting the Grav on, we sent out a big signal to them with that substitution, I know he wanted to sure the game up but it was like a white flag.. Anyway my fellow blues lets look to the positive and get back to winning ways against Bolton, hope everyone is enjoying their break, great site lads, great time to be a Blue.

I think your points pretty much say the same things I was trying to get across, soberly.
Sorry about the shore thing, I had writers block !

Big disappointment yesterday,see what happens when a forward tackles? OK, strictly speaking Pienaar?s not a forward, but he tackled like one. Or like you, in five-a-side. And a Merry Christmas to you, Gaynor and Scott.

You never saw me tacle at 5 a side I was still playin when you had long retired !!!
Ellis is going boxing day will he be travelling with you and if so are ya going for a drink before the game ?
If you dont get back to this I will give you a bell, all the best Ray and I have put my thoughts on Mr Hughes to one side for the mo, Moyesy seems to have finally come up with the goods.

Of course I?m going, that?s what season ticket holders do! I?m going back early in the day to visit my sisters before going on to the match, I?ll speak to Ellis and maybe arrange to bring him back home. I?ll look in the Winslow before the game. Merry Christmas to Blue Boys everywhere.
ps. The reason I never saw you tackle?
I was at a much higher standard....

It?s not difficult to understand why we occasionally resorted to hoofball; two of our most influential midfielders were absent. Without that outlet we weren?t going to go through the Utd midfield with the passing fluency that has marked our recent run of good form. You could see how much Pienaar missed Osman and Arteta when he had the ball. It also explains why the Yak and AJ were so starved of quality service. Three futher points;
;Do you still want Hughes as manager?
; It?s "shore" the game up not "sure"
; And why am I not surprised that you?re in bed with a hangover?
