Words Almost Fail Me

I'm normaly a rational and level headed person but today I am very VERY ANGRY.

 

I don't care who you are playing, no team should lose a match in 45mins against a team that is 2-0 down and playing with ten men.

 

Unbelievable!

Whilst mortified & completely down, it has to be said that Wanderers did not just lose today; Arsenal won. Wenger gambled & won; well done, him. He did have ?1bn of talent on the bench. Bolton played well for most of the match and we couldn't match them when it mattered and the squad is lighter than Arsenals. They are one of the richest clubs in the world, we are not.

 

 

BUT...what the hell were we doing with insufficient on the bench? We could/ should have nailed it at 3-0 after the break and couldn't (lack of belief)

With respect BD that is absolute rubbish.

 

No team should lose a match 2-0 up playing against 10 men with less than 30mins left.

 

It will take me a long time to get over what I witnessed today.

well said, we will not be relegated because of todays performance, terrible decisions 1 after the other have seen us relegated, on reflection we have had a fantastic 10 years, BWFC now have to stabilise the club and make sure we do not drop right through the championship to Division 1, we need to have a complete re-think as to what our club is all about, never again should we have to throw cup games to try to consolidate our league position, the club needs a good clear out in all areas, new hungry ambitious players need purchasing, board members and we all know who they are need to hold there hands up and walk away, new faces and a new era is about to begin, hold tight cause it is going to be a bumpy ride.

Maybe I'm just trying to rationalise things. I'm just stunned. I don't remember ever having such a high at half time with a corresponding low at 90 mins.

 

Let's hope red wine will do the job.

no amount of ale will wash over that feeling. i've been trying since getting in at 1/2 5. i've run out of decent stuff onto sherry now. consoling myself that we really do wanna be going to plymouth away.

was good last time ended up in torquay on the saturday night.

Totally agree with Mounts Kipper's post.

Ah, well, Undies ...... cheer up. You could have been at Stamford Bridge when we were 3-0 up with 17 mins to play (1979) : 3-4 defeat,

AND been at Scarborough in 1987 (0-4)

AND been at the Reebok this afternoon.

Some things we never forget nor get over.

<sob>

watfford, same as chelsea

 

but this feels worse right now, on the back of the "season that never got going"

 

The real brightspot was Europe, but that was pissed up against the wall.

As i said a couple of weeks ago, this team is now mostly a team of ENGLISH hard working championship plodders!

 

But isnt that what a lot on here wanted? A team of Warren Joyce and Julian Darby workraters?

 

The Arse had enough quality to only need 10!

 

oh well for me personally Burnley Preston and Blackpool away will be fun!

I'm one of thoe weirdo's too. You're not alone. But only for one season and as a novelty, I hope.

It did appear for most the game that Arsenal had twelve men never mind ten. I agree with Undies, no team no matter who they are and who they are playing should lose a game in 45 mins to a side down to ten men and two goals behind.

 

 

Beer swiller

arsenal could beat most teams in this leaguen with ten men....

i would agree...however with 35 mins to play and 2-0 down a team fighting relegation at home should not have been allowed to knock the ball about with such ease.......fitness?

We have got a relatively good record against that lot but yesterday shows how far we have fallen. Yes, Arsenal are a very good team but for me the pain of yesterday's result is up there with the 1-5 home dicking we got from Coventry in '98.

The fact is that the ginger tosser does not have a clue how to change tactics. When they changed to 3 at the back, we should have changed to 442 and used Diouf and Stelios to stretch them down the flanks. We played right into their hands instead. Megson is an idiot. Bringing Hunt on and playing him where he did just summed up the man as an idiot.

Oh and that little shit Walcott should have been given a crunching tackle as soon as he came on.

Whenever i hear Megson interviewed he sounds like an intelligent bloke who is more than capable of expressing himself and yet he seems completely incapable of influencing the course of events.

Maybe the players are too thick to understand?

 

Steinnson letting Gallas go for the first.

 

Cahill or Obrien (wasnt sure which) not covering Hleb's run for the start of the move that brought the penalty.

 

Megson may be in over his head tactically, but if the players can't do the simple things like marking or tracking runs from a player they are facing, then what can you do?

Surely defensive organisation comes from working together on the training ground every day, rather than actual games?

What is the point of having all 11 men back on corners then letting Gallas go completely free and also nobody covering the posts?

thought hunt played well for the 30 seconds he was on the pitch, how do you know where hunt was playing?

 

he came on we defended a set piece cleared it then his shoulder fooked up he could've been playing left wing back or centre forward, but my guess would've been right wing putting crosses in without having to worry about defending.

Megson himself on Radio Manchester stated he brought Hunt on to "shore things up". He admitted it is something he should not have to do at home against 10 men but he felt he had to with the way we were getting pulled to pieces.

never mind playing against 10 men, with 3 at the back and Walcott, Adebayor, V Persie and Hleb up front we could've had 12 men on and still been in trouble

 

what shouldn't happen is after conceeding a goal you have the captain for the day kicking off with other players
