Two
really tough games on paper, and so it proved, with Watford especially looking
a good side. Despite that, I thought that after a few early scares, it
was us who made the running and were desperately unlucky not to get something
from the game, creating a number of chances over and above the missed
penalty. A fine margin between success and failure, with Ranger’s shot
coming back off the inside of the post.
At
Brighton, it was more of a case of a solid defensive display being the positive
from the game, with Brighton having much of the possession but without
particularly looking like scoring. On the downside, we created very
little ourselves, with Miller going closest after running on on goal from
wide. In both games, Joe Lewis showed what a fine keeper he is, with some
excellent saves against Watford.
What
we lack at present is some real quality in midfield. Karl has said he now
backs Riga. The proof of the pudding will be in allowing him to get some
real quality in on loan. Failure to do that will see us cut adrift if we
carry on as we are.
Finally,
it was very disappointing for Mr Oyston to fail to attend the BSA forum on
Thursday, something that has been in the diary for a couple of weeks. It
shows a lack of respect for the fans, the lifeblood of the club. The
sooner the meeting is rearranged the better, so the fans get to have their say
on the running of the club.
