damp squib

[ceamboy]

I'm surprised nobody as yet, as posted on the 1-0 loss at Solihull   (who!!!! )
It sounds as if the the Boston team failed to turn up again, it sure turned out to be another damp squib display. ohhh

Stop being so negative Ceamboy! The fireworks were excellent last night!

Battling performance of huff and puff by two poor teams.  They just edged it.

[Dave H]

Solihull are starting to become a bogey team. Last season we played well and lost 1-0. Today we didn't play well and lost 1-0. Apart from a Ryan Semple shot that the keeper put onto the post we created very little. The second half was a particularly bad day at the office as we didn't look like scoring, unless by a million to one chance a clearance hit a plane and dropped in the net.
Once again a trip to Solihull results in the highlight being the catering van.
Oh and the ref was OK, and I'm not being sake  
 Our performance was like a box of fireworks from Poundland, full of hope and expectation but ultimately a damp squib.

All the ingredients for the match to be a cracker for you next Saturday KON.  
Hyde are on fire and will provide the fireworks and we have plenty of dead wood to provide the bonfire .

Ceamboy and GHM are you over 60?

[shorty2kuk]

it had a 0-0 written all over it, they nicked the goal. we didn't provide much threat up front and all the saves jazz had to make were easy. we seemed to play everything along semples wing which meant hell wasn't used to his potential

[kingofnaves]

You what! Do you mean we should keep the ball away from Semple then!

[boggy]

I think shorty2 might be referring to what they call in the trade "switching it". It might add a bit of variety to the play. Semples doing fine, but we don't want to become too one dimensional or predictable. Well IMO anyway.
We were a bit similar last week, maybe switching Hall And Semple during the game might help too.

[O CHO MEALLT]

It wasn't that we played badly-more that we just didn't play at all.We just didn't seem to turn up at all today.We had one effort first half which their keeper saved,they had one effort second half which our keeper didn't-and that's about all you can say about what was a very poor game.I thought the Referee was o.k.(certainly a lot better than last weeks)but there was nothing much for him to do.Let's just put it down to a bad day at the office,and remember there's always next week.

You what! Do you mean we should keep the ball away from Semple then!

no i mean all we seemed to do was play it down semples wing. its alright spreading it out wide but use both wings

[shorty2kuk]

also i must say what a good performance today, allowing the game to flow, keeping everything calm. thank you mr referee, you definitely were the best this season

the FA will soon ship him back to Japan

This performance has now convinced me that in future I will not bother putting myself out doing 200 mile round trips to watch a team who seem to have no plan "B" when the hoof ball to Jason fails to work. I know many fans will say that Jason is the best option we have up front but I disagree, as I am sure some of our players aim every ball forward at him out of fear of loosing their places. Sorry but it just does not work having both managers on the pitch.
Of course I will be at York street for every home game and I will encourage the lads as I did today but things on the pitch do need sorting out.

Big Jase won a lot of headers from long balls today, but they weren't falling for Burrow. This is why we need a big-man/little-man duo up front.
