Hit them with a big points deduction and a transfer embargo
Although I bet the Welsh assembly and WFA would bail them out as they want everything up there |

Key put some great work in last night when he came on , the way he was going past defenders at pace was really good to see, did some good covering as well ,also nice to see him pull their player back on halfway instead of letting him get down the wing and stopping an attack,other teams do it to us ,about time we got a bit cynical |

Preston just pumped long balls forward ,either in the wide channels or straight down the middle and whichever of their players were closest,chased after the ball and others ran to the edge of the 18 yard box waiting for cutbacks to shoot at goal
The way we set up 1st half and gave their widemen so much time and space played into their hands , second half was a different story we looked better,played faster and they didn’t like it and we really should have scored more
Lesson learnt hopefully |

Agree ,we seem to take so long taking throws on both sides
Eom takes a cracking long throw though to be fair ,something we’ve missed since Roberts left |

I thought last night in the stadium from where I was sitting that Vigaroux could have done better with the Preston goal , looking at the highlights it confirms what I saw , he let the cross into the box run across in front of him within easy reach , he’s a brilliant snap saver but doesn’t sense danger and seems reluctant to come off his line ,appearing to be glued to it , how many times has it happened this season
Yes he’s saved us many times as well but how many goals have we conceded because he ball watches and doesn’t react and won’t come off the line |

Ben played some really poor balls tonight,Cam is better when he just does the simplest things,dealing with high balls etc , he also played some dodgy passes tonight ,it’s not really his game
Widell and Yalcouye made a big difference when they came on,looking to turn forward every time and running at Preston ,Galbraith also has more influence on games when playing like he did second half
Ronald struggled tonight,so frustrating to watch
But we battled and got the goal we deserved ,should have been more with our second half chances but we didn’t lose,which was important

It was a great 3 points yesterday
A battling result against difficult opponents
It still drives me crazy ,how balls that are just blindly hacked away and ricochets and deflections always seem to fall to the opposition , we never seem to get any luck with loose balls ,it’s uncanny
The other thing that had me bouncing yesterday was that prat with the whistle,it’s like we always seem to get the incompetent ones ,drives me crazy,he gave fouls that weren’t and didn’t give ones that were ….. but at least yesterday he was cack with both sides
Cam and Ben were great yesterday and Franco was everywhere
I’d still like to see Vig go long down the middle now and again ,yesterday there were gaps between their back 3 we could have tried to exploit
But great result

Rushworth is creating havoc just booting the ball long straight downfield , classic route 1 stuff and Boro can’t handle it |

Coventry getting the ball forward and playing balls into the box very quickly and winning as a result,Middlesbrough with twice as many passes but most of them around the middle of the pitch going nowhere ,when they do go forward and wide quickly they are creating chances but Coventry look dangerous every time they play forward |

I think it’s a lot to do with the way the game has evolved,back in the day British keepers ruled their areas , great under the high ball ,getting stuck in,not just punching but catching the ball as well and it was foreign keepers who couldn’t cope with the high balls ,nowadays it’s rare to see a British keeper comfortable in the air ,almost like they’re afraid of contact and taking a knock
The emphasis now is for the keeper to be more of a footballer , like a sweeper almost , playing passes out from the back |

Agree with you
You’re probably right about Burgess marking the CH but we need to find an answer for marking tall forwards at corners even just jumping with them to put them off would help and be better than allowing free headers
Oh and putting early crosses in up front would help too |

Agyemang had a free header later on too , Vigs pulled off a great goal line save with that one but we still allowed him the chance,we didn’t learn at all |

Good points Keith
I lost count of The number of times we turned back from crossing positions about wide and slowed a fast break down and turned back in midfield ,we played into Derby’s hands yesterday ,made it easy for them ,a quick cross causes panic in defence but we were reluctant to play the ball in,whether that is down to Matos instructions or the player on the spot I don’t know,but you have to get the ball in the box to score and we don’t do it often enough
They just sat back and waited for set pieces and scored 2 goals ,Eustace has watched us and knows Vigaroux,as tall as he is won’t come off his line for high balls , both their goals came from balls into the 6 yd box ,most keepers contest those but Vigs , who is a brilliant reaction save keeper and has saved us in games this season never does
We conceded a mirror image of their second goal a few games ago when Stamenic failed to to jump against a tall player ,Cam should have been marking Agyemang |

Widell has to start before Cullen,now he’s fit again ,shows great energy,drive and ambition
Watch the highlights tomorrow,the number of times Zan was waving his arms calling for the early cross ……which never came,time after time, he must be furious ,I know a lot on here are |

What they did was play for set pieces and from open play get the crosses in first time hoping for a break
I think Eustace knew we’d baulk at quick delivery and was happy to watch us playing sideways and back ,knowing they’d have chances and they did and they took them
Surely Matos saw what we saw yet allowed it to go on,we could have got something today if we’d have been more direct and that’s what hurts
We’re not going to get anything from games by passing it back constantly and refusing to cross and being so negative |
