Let’s face it without Wilmots worldie we were never going to score. Preston are utterly woeful and we’ve somehow made them look good. Yes we’ve injuries, but so have other teams. MON is at fault, midfield is key and he left himself short at the start of the season. Utterly depressing Xmas period this has been. They didn’t actually even look good, that’s the thing. Bog standard average teams manage to cruise past us easily at home, even when we’ve jammily gone in front or got an equaliser out of nowhere. There’s an air of inevitability about it. It’s really quite pathetic This. When was the last time we crushed a team. Swansea? We are porous frail and boring!

Yep who are in the last playoff spot but I don’t care we ain’t good enough to go up Boro have a game in hand on them As you say it’s academic as we are nowhere near good enough No mate shame as I thought after first two months we were looking decent. I’m actually bored of making excuses now for us just got to accept bar our best 11 we are mid - top half championship side. We still need more of a clear out and players back. If we can’t bring anyone in Jan, it’s gonna be a poor end to the season.

MON speaking to the Sentinel
A bad start to the new year?
Michael O'Neill: “The first game of the second half of the season, we talked about it before the game and getting off to the right start. We changed the system thinking that might freshen us a bit and I thought it did.
“In the first half there were a lot of positive things in our performance, our final ball was poor into the box.
“Then we go ahead after half-time with a great goal and we could have added a second. There were two or three really good blocks in the box.
“But we lose a poor goal and we don’t really recover from that. We stop playing and the game gets stretched. We look a bit leggy to be honest. I thought we looked leggy in the second half.
“Then we lose the game off a corner which we should have defended better.
“We’re losing games from moments like that. We lost the game on Thursday because we gave the ball away in a bad area, we got punished, today we got punished from a set piece and it’s another game when we’ve been ahead and come away with nothing.”

I think that’s just 4 wins in 14 games. Relegation form.

That bloody defence today - I feel like exploding. Their number 14 had acres of space all day down their left, so did Daniel Johnson. Again we get classically mugged by a team who had one player who's name I knew. Out muscled and lost to two pathetically defended goals.

Disappointing performance and result; but was worth the trip for Wilmot's thunderbastard.

We weren't that good before but once Fletcher went off we were dropping deeper and deeper surrendering possession and initiative. Campbell's failure to track back saw Wilmot outnumbered and once they equalised we went into full panic mode and there was only one likely winner from that point.
We showed virtually no creativity, failed to open up a poor Preston and once they got on the front foot we were chasing shadows.
We looked what we are a brittle, unimaginative side lacking ideas and confidence.

I think one could have put that in a more refined manner. Having said that you are absolutely succinct and spot on!

I expected that today… Patience wearing thin but amazingly still got two games in hand and I said after the injuries get through Jan and be close enough to playoffs. By sounds of it we can’t bring many in which is very worrying and more so he keeps saying we have some great kids coming through but isn’t using them. We need a new midfield I'm afraid ,Allen and Clucas just not doing it ,both give the ball away far too easy , we need another 2 Glen Whelan's. To think Souttar was in the unders for months and he never played him until he had no choice ,sums it all up MON aint never going to blood the kids unless it's a last option , Campbell was another that only got a chance when we had no choices left.

I can remember when the opposition names would be roundly booed and our names would be met with massive cheers. Is this just one of the many things caused by our current status? Probably yes.

Space-ball, where objects and events act randomly, lacking any sort of atmosphere where anything can thrive. That's just off the pitch. Not much more life on the pitch either. Flat as a pancake. We need a flasher, preferably with big bouncy knockers to wake us all up from our zombie-like slumber. An official streaker maybe? It get's a bit dull and MON warms up the streaker. Any ideas who can fulfill the role. Remember the brief...big bouncy knockers.
I'm a bit disappointed.

Yeh, she popped into my head too, as she has been doing since I was boy! Old school streaking at it's best. I think she had a fag on when she was doing it as well. Class.
