  1. Watching the WBA v Derby game and I think I have an idea, which kind of exciting football ppl on here wants us to play :D It's entertaining in both ends and there has been more goals and chances than we normally have in a full 90 (or more). Gonna be nail biting exciting (result wise) this coming Saturday, to see if our disciplined best defense in the league, can get something V Derby, looking to score for fun. A draw or a nicked win would be welcome. I can take a season of boring football, if we go up! We know from last PL mistake/failure, what we need to do, when we reach t
  2. ...Rant continues I remember clearly from watching the game yesterday, that the fans on 2 occasions booed loudly, cause the possible attack was stopped, and the ball was passed backwards, when it could have continued as a pressure on the well defending Rotherham team.
  3. *thumps up* *smiley that is not offended* I hear you Wilson and others, but honestly. There were a few occasions were Clayton COULD and SHOULD have started the counter, where he didn't, which lead to a lost ball or a hoof 20 secs later .. Those occasions may weigh more than they should (for me) but I cannot help it, as we should be able to play them thin, catching them on the wrong foot, so we could get a freaking goal .. But that won't happen, if you let them get back in position every time and start a slow predictable attack or an excuse for an attack. Let's give it a rest, if
  4. I didn't know he was that political ... Hmmm wait a minute .. :liar: :upside_down: :upside_down:
  5. Well, if you can bike on that thing, I guess it's nothing life threatening :D
  6. If the chance is there he generally does go forwards, many times last night he hit balls long to the wings or into Friend and McNair's feet. I might weigh the times he doesn't pass it, too much .. especially in a game we need to control. I know he is very valuable and i rate him very high, but I feel a better creative player was needed yesterday, to give more room, to the other supposed creative players.. ( who didn't do enough yesterday)
  7. I also feel gutted, for losing Old Man Gravez putting up an epic thread!
  8. Saying that it is not Clayton's job to pass the ball to start an attack .. Hmmm .. IF the chance is there, then pass it .. pass it please .. Why hide behind "I am a robot, I must not think for myself.. I must pass to Ayala" Why not pass the ball quick just a few times to spice it up.. I know it's EASY to watch a game and SEE the easy quick passes, that would start a counter.. But as a pro footballer you must be able to see that on the pitch too ..
  9. Oh .. and IF Fry was playing and Friend was on the bench, Downing might have put in some of those crosses with his BEST foot on the left, if he stayed there as a wing back. Downing from the right was not great yesterday and Friend was worse even though it was from his preferred side... Oh, the moUrning after ...
  10. I really really LIKE Clayton and YES he is the best in the league at nicking the ball and breaking the opponents drive/rythm... But I feel he was too slow yesterday, WHEN he nicked the ball .. It was, for me at least, very frustrating to see him step on the ball and wait and pass it back to Ayala, even though anyone who knows their junior football could see a quick pass, which would start a great counter. The second very big chance Rotherham had, came directly from a clueless Clayton fumble, even though he had 10 seconds to pick a pass or even just huff it up the field... Enough abou
  11. Playing Clayton V Rotherham is like wearing a helmet to get a tattoo on the arm .. But I'll shut up and keep my opinion for my self after this.
  12. thomas for president! I agree mate, as you obv can see ;) But that's the point of a forum, discussing scenarios and not everybody has to agree. Clayton is THE BEST against good teams, but THE WORST, when we have to create the game...
  13. Yeah you can he brings solidity, hard work and decent tackles but it just wasn't the right game for him tonight wing would have been better suited as someone whos creative, full of energy and can get at them. You've still got to have a player in your midfield who can defend the space in front of the back four and win the ball back. He probably starts more attacks from deep positions than a lot of players in this league but some our fans just can't see it. You could play another player in that position but we haven't got anyone else who could play that role as well. Clayton is the u
  14. He is our best warrior, when the opposition has the ball.. And I rate him very well .. But against Rotherham, where WE must CREATE something, he is a slow turtle passenger ... Sorry to say, but that is my opinion. I love the dude, but he shouldn't play MUST WIN GAMES against bottom teams with a parked bus..
  15. I really don't get your dislike of Clayton DS. I thought he was immense today as usual. He did make one mistake in the 90 but it's harsh to focus on that On this occasion. Blanco, I don't agree with you. Clayton should never play our MUST WIN games .. He is a fighter and a warrior, not a footballer. He is not creative in any way .. Even easy forward passes.. he steps on the ball, slows everything down and pass it to Besic and Ayala .. We agree on a lot of things, but not this ;;) Check you INBOX, mate!
  16. I would like to see Gestede with Braithwaite playing off his flicks and headers .. Could be like Rhodes and Gestede in 14/15 season.. Britt can only do tap ins ... Hugill is as bad as can be..
  17. My opinion too. We cannot play against a parked bus. Especially not, when we have Clayton to "stiffle" them .. Save Clayton for Derby, play Wing or Saville .. Well.. I have NEVER seen so many poor crosses in my life before... Really shocking .. We had possesion and opportunities to create chances to score and win comfortably .. But at best, we got a corner ... I don't like the way we set up today, but still, the players MUST do better.. Pulis might be too negative, but he can't cross the ball for us.. he cannot put in in the goal either .. We should have won very comfy..
  18. We could put Giroud and Allan Shearer in too... Crosses still sucks
  19. Against a team that parks The bus,I would not play Clayton again
