Luckily for us, we managed to survive. 0-0 was the best we could hope for.
Special mention to the ref, who disallowed Burnley's perfectly good goal. Probably our best player on the night.
I just don't know where we go from here...
That game felt like we could've played all night and not scored. Not for the first time either.
The team selection feels like it's been picked out of a hat, with changes every week.
3 attacking midfielder who couldn't pick a pass between them.
A gap between the forward and midfield that was reminiscent of the Tony Pulis era. At least then we were playing against Man City and Liverpool, now we're doing it at home to Millwall and Burnley.
I don't want to call for Corberan's head after the excellent job he's done in the past 2 years, but what we're serving up now isn't good enough and it needs to improve fast.
2 goals in 7 league games at home. Not like we're creating and missing either. We're not creating a thing.
Clearly we're going nowhere so on that basis, I'd at least like to watch exciting football. There's nothing worse that mid table obscurity based on 0-0 draws.
Corberan needs to get back to basics and fast. He needs to select his best XI and stick with it, for 3-4 games, regardless of the results. He need to give players time gel and return to form.
He needs to figure out how to get Mikey Johnston back in the team and firing. In his cameo tonight, he looked more creative in his first 2 minutes than the rest of the team in the previous 65 minutes combined. Sadly when he's starting, it feels like he's trying too hard. Probably knowing that if he doesn't score, he'll be dropped for a couple of games again.
Had Leeds (or otherwise) poached Corberan in the summer I'd have been gutted. However, at this point in time, I couldn't care less. I feel like our current league position could be achieved by any half decent manager giving the size and quality of our squad. Sometimes in football you need a change and on this reckoning, that time isn't far off...
Slick, to me, your paragraph says it all:
"Clearly we're going nowhere so on that basis, I'd at least like to watch exciting football. There's nothing worse that mid table obscurity based on 0-0 draws."
Spot on
