At first I thought that comment was tongue in cheek, now reading on I'm not so sure.
At the risk of being whooshed, did you actually report him to the police?
I'm hoping its tongue in cheek....

The only positive I can think of was the Stephens/Byrne show down the right in the 2nd half.
Stephens is too good a player to be playing CB.
The attendance was shite as well

I blame Tenerife
Does seem odd that since that break our form has gone off the boil

I reckon we need to find 6 wins from the final 15, or 5 wins and 3 draws to make the PO's ....doable, but something will need to change. I suppose a fit and slightly refreshed Luongo offers some hope...a draw on Tuesday wouldn't be a bad result.

You've completely missed the point that I was making.
Sure, we were poor. I'm not denying that. We've been poor for the last few games. Does that mean that we are suddenly incapable of playing well again? Does our recent form mean that we will be poor for the rest of the season?
I think you've missed mine. Our issue is not simply a poor run of form, that can indeed turn around. Our problem is that we have a set-up and a mentality that is counter-productive to achieving results, even against poor teams like Crawley. That will not naturally turn around. Teams know how to play us. if we don't adapt we will plummet. That was the lesson from today and the past two months.

I think this is perfect for demonstrating that stats are irrelevant except the 1-2 final score...

so is this a theory you've conveniently developed in the last month or were you spouting it as we marched to top spot.

I think this is perfect for demonstrating that stats are irrelevant except the 1-2 final score... I think Cooper said post-match that he hadn't seen the possession stats but...as you say that has little to do with anything. We had all the possession in the world in the first half and were ponderous and showed some appalling "first touches" and never looked like doing anything with it. We needed to vary the pace by mixing in more first time passes and even the occasional long ball forwards. Not sure if injury prompted, but Cooper's halftime tactical change in taking Toff off and moving Gladwin from central midfield to the left brought an immediate improvement. The intensity dropped after the equaliser however and whilst the vital 1-2 statistic was unlucky, the performance was imo down to us rather than Crawley's performance (who nevertheless deserve some credit for a well executed first goal)

Better to have a blip now than say the last 5 games of the season. Bring on Bradford. !

Hopefully Mass will be fit for Tuesday and we can go back to the midfield of him, Kasim and Thompson which got to us to where we are now.
