| Absolute Bottle Jobs!!! 22:36 - Mar 10 with 1876 views | Chris_ITFC | Please feel free to ignore this but I need to let it out for my sanity. I’m usually criticised for being too soft or too level headed on here (fair), but I am so angry with that last goal. I couldn’t care less about the ref. HIRST goes for glory and blazes it over CAJUSTE doesn’t even try to head it DAVIS hoofs it straight up in the air KIPRE chases his own header like a 5 year old FURLONG kicks thin air Then panic, panic, and more panic! Zero shape, zero composure, zero bottle. Stoke were dreadful, with a Sunday league goalkeeper, and we gifted them 3 goals like we do so often. We haven’t ever been one of the best 2 teams in this league, and we never will be. Tonight is a prime example of what we do - we turn it on and off so easily, so inconsistent, and so easy to play against. We turned it on, came back, and then absolutely bottled it. |  |

| Absolute Bottle Jobs!!! on 22:42 - Mar 10 with 1498 views | Swansea_Blue | We panicked in that moment, but to say we’re bottle jobs after coming back from that stinker of a first half is a load of bollox. Bottle jobs would have caved in and lost 5-0. We did enough to win. |  |

It doesn't make you bottle jobs. It just makes you fragile. No team finishes top 2 in such a fragile state. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Exactly this. At HT I reckon everyone would’ve taken a point had it been offered, it’s just in the circumstances it’s shíte |  |

Oh they absolutely bottled it, I’m sorry. The hard thing to do in that moment is to want the ball, demand the ball, offer for the ball, to get it down and play. The easy thing to do is just throw your head / leg at it as hard as you can, and pass the responsibility onto someone else. Schoolboy stuff. |  |

I’m not here to argue though. You’re just placing yourself in range of my venting. |  |

"At HT I reckon everyone would’ve taken a point had it been offered" I wouldn't have. A point doesn't really help us, considering other results. |  |

Me neither. Bad performance first half and a killer mental blow. [Post edited 11 Mar 8:00]

At HT I wouldn't have taken a draw as circumstance dictates we need more. If it had finished as a draw it would have been okay with a draw bearing in mind we were so poor first half. But at HT I hoped for much better, Especially as we need to get this monkey off our back about not winning from a losing position. It confirms the mentality of the side is wrong if you cannot turn a losing position into a winning one. |  | |  |
| Absolute Bottle Jobs!!! on 06:22 - Mar 11 with 839 views | franz_tyson | If Davis hadn't ballooned that ball in the air we wouldn't have conceded. Kipre goes AWOL and we're then out of shape. It's amazing how some teams can spend an entire game keeping shape and men behind the ball and just heading and clearing balls into the box.... and wasting time... yet we can't do that with 2 minutes to go. All that hard work to get back into a lead. Just a bit of discipline and cool heads needed. |  | |  |
| Absolute Bottle Jobs!!! on 07:10 - Mar 11 with 735 views | RetroBlue | Expensive squad it maybe. Highest paid manager in our history. Both are highly overrated and simply not good enough. Money doesnt buy you success, this is clear to see. At any other club McKenna would have been gone 2 years ago. He doesn't learn. He doesn't adapt. He doesnt get the best out of his very expensive squad. Id argue they are no better than the squad McKenna inherited from Paul Cook. Play offs it is , maybe if we can hold on to a top 6 position. Even thats not guaranteed in my view. And as for actually winning them. When was the last time this group of players won a must win game? Not good enough McKenna! |  |

I agree with the OP. It was all very frustrating to watch. However, posts like that attract nonsense like this one. |  | |  |

Posts like that one telling the truth? I am surprised the regulars here haven’t suffered due to all the head burying under the sand. [Post edited 11 Mar 7:26]

The truth that McKenna should have gone two years ago? Have a think about that. |  | |  |
