Marginally Romford. We owned the first half, you were the better team in the second half. Having said that, a draw would not have been unfair. Your strikers were very wasteful.
We don't deserve all the s***e from certain elements of the media however.
Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and others play "direct football" whilst we play "long ball". We can and do play it on the floor, but that's not in the script. Long ball is a part of the game, every club plays it at some time. It's not bad to watch, either. The abuse does get tiresome, on occasion, but we have to live with it.
Is that a Northern saying fella...owned ?? :lol:
From where i was sitting we missed two open goals in the first half...so i can't honestly see your view.
I think we've had this chat before about your style...and just look at that report...it makes out that every time you foul someone they are a southern softie but every time you get fouled the media hates you !!
Davies did at least half a dozen fouls and was visably warned by the ref..then fouled after and was not booked. I'd like to see what you'd say about that...
I'm sorry fella...but you are coming to the wrong place if you want understanding about football style. The 2 teams are like Chalk and Cheese...bit like asking a bloke who likes tall blondes if he like to wife swap with your short black doris.
The fact is that you have 6 points off us and we had enough chances to win both games 3 times over. We are going to be a bit miffed !!
Must also add that we had a LOT of probs with Notlob fans a few years back on here
