We still have the best goal difference in the top 5. That's my positive gift.
However, in the last 4 games, we have had 70 shots, and scored 3 goals. ( if I remember correctly from something I read 3 hours ago, before I poured a Sunday Beer)
That is where our problem lies. Not the defence, and it's not just Bamford. Honestly believe we miss Roofe more than Pontus.
Hoping beyond hope, that this luck changes soon. MOT Brothers.

Says to me since spy gate things haven’t gone well perhaps there’s more to that then we think, perhaps MB needs this information and can’t do with out it.
29 Sep 2019 14:13:29
Good post mate. As you say it’s not only Bamford missing chances it half the bloody team!
29 Sep 2019 15:47:42
I don't see what part people don't understand
we don't score enough when we have 70% of the ball
at the same time we conceed too many considering they only have 30% of the ball. both stats are the same. Like a boxer who don't get hit much but every time he gets hit he gets floored.
we have the ball for 65 minutes and don't put ball in net they have it for 20 and score. that is bad in defence and attack. in short we can't defend. we can't score. we are about as good in both boxes as a flacid manhood covered in chilli.

Bermondsey mate look on the bright side, still long way to go, football is a funny old game,
29 Sep 2019 18:05:34
We paid near 10 million for bamford to score goals not a midfield these guys provide chance after chance. No other team n the league is creating anywhere near as many chances bottom line is bamford is missing chance after chance and not just this season was the same in our last 6 games. He was bought to score goals he's paid to score goals.

Why would not watching a team train make a striker miss a sitter? Bam ford Is a confidence thing, wonder if a hypnotists could help him.
29 Sep 2019 19:16:34
Martyn Bambam is not a confidence thing, scoring just ain't his thing. Never really was. How's your dog?
29 Sep 2019 19:52:09
A chiropidist might be better Martyn realign his toes.
29 Sep 2019 19:58:57
true long way to go, i of course think things can get turned around, i think we are only tweaking away rather than wholsale changes so it ain't tragic
only thing is i don't think mb is the man to tweak things. i think mb will not change anything at all, that is my main worry.
29 Sep 2019 20:02:42
Like a boxer who don’t get hit much but every time he gets hit he gets floored? Doesn’t make much sense to me. It’s a long fifteen round fight like the old days and and we are only entering the fourth. MOT.
29 Sep 2019 21:06:23
not sure what don't make sense they don't attack much but we still manage to conceed
as for the 15 round fight. very true but when you have a boxer that can't knock people out and has a glass jaw you can't feel very confident can you?
until we learn to forget about the middle of the pitch and start doing the job in both boxes i can't hold much hope.

Truth is, as Bowyer has stated that bielsa has worked miracles with the team and even if we have the best team in the league, we are easy to frustrate and beat. Worrying thing is that we have the majority of the possession but convert very few chances. good teams win ugly, we can't even do that!
29 Sep 2019 21:58:19
Berm and Mezz are right. Bielsa turned the players into footballers but you can't teach 2 things which we lack. You've either got it or haven't. 1. Hardness. Selling Pontus dumb. Eliminating 5 league goals this season from headers. Preventing goals conceded from set pieces. Could've been worth another 5. 2. In front of goal ruthlessness. Roofe had it, Bambam does not. Given our current style of play, we require that more so than other teams. Only Eddie, Stuarty, a return to fitness of Pablo and an improved stay healthy Tyler the Creator can save us this season.
29 Sep 2019 21:59:30
bowyer is always going to praise MB. Belisa has done wonders but i managed to beat him (cos i'm also amazing) is better than he is over rated and can't set up a team to do well.
30 Sep 2019 01:59:50
Which dog George the one I walk or the one the costs me a fortune ðŸ¤.
30 Sep 2019 08:54:16
Bielsa has worked miracles with the team and they are punching above their weight but the sad truth is the players aren’t good enough especially in key areas and for that you have to blame the recruitment. Nothing wrong with the tactics it is the poor playing staff that are to blame. We didn’t bring in players to replace the ones that we lost who were also the ones who were any good. This started last season when we didn’t replace Saiz.
30 Sep 2019 09:20:30
saiz is a great shout alf. i think a lot don't give him credit for what he was. the best player in the league, better than pablo. yes his attitude stunk and his form dipped but this time last year we was ripping teams to shreds thanks to the MOTM which was saiz
i do disagree i don't think we are punching above our weight
we have a real madrid keeper (he ain't great but still got to be better than most in this league to walk through the door at madrid)
in white we have a great defender. cooper is average
we have a international right and left back and our other left back won this league with record assists as did costa when he tore this league to bits
Phillips is on fringes on england sqaud and 30 million player, forshaw very respected. Bamford is decent and eddie the new ian wright. Pablo considered one of the best in the league
I think our players on paper are better if not as good as any team in league. trouble must be something else.
30 Sep 2019 12:32:09
Keeper was 3rd choice at RM and a decent professional but never going to get anywhere near their team.
Douglas is a shadow of that player and playing the wrong system to get the assists.
Costa yet to find his record form and spends most games on the bench where it is hard to influence a game.
Philips is slow and limited - he can only play1 position which is a disadvantage if you want to change the formation.
Forshaw great but more of a sicknote than Darren Anderson and can’t win games from the physio room.
Pablo is past it he hasn’t influenced any games since the first one this season.
We are I serious trouble.
30 Sep 2019 13:35:06
Martyn The one you feed Winalot (wish LUFC did that) or does that not help narrow it down?
30 Sep 2019 17:49:55
George they both get winalot 😜.
01 Oct 2019 00:46:23
not sure about phillips alf. i really rate the player very quick and mobile and best tackler i have ever seen, reads the game like bobby moore
good point about douglas he is a great player but like dorgio without a target most of his game is taken from him.
