Just my opinion I love Sol and he has plenty of goodwill in the bank... But it was 100% his fault. He had an absolute shocker there. If you watch it back there's no real excuse, I think he was just knackered from chasing back and wasn't thinking straight. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Never get this “we aren’t ready to go up.” Spiel. Exactly, if there's even a small chance of coming 6th and going up this year it should be everyone's top priority. The chance might never come again, or not for many years. There's a worrying trend of the same few clubs dominating the top spots recently. We'll have the billionaire barcodes and Championship perma-winners Norwich back down next year too. That's why Pulis's play off tactics were so infuriating. When those chances come, you take them. That pretty weak Huddersfield side sneaked up via the play offs from 6th with a negative goal difference and they stayed up the next season. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I think the build-up to the move is partly why it was so desperate. We collectively were not prepared for that attack at all and Bamba actually prevents a significant goal-scoring opportunity to begin with. I remember thinking phew, thank God for that. For about 2 seconds. Then it was oh no. What have you done. He did the hard work, saved our *** then messed up big time. The goal didn't come 100% because of him in the grand scheme of things I don't think but yeah, he's clearly at fault for making a really poor clearance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 What struck me with the goal was how much further up the pitch Bamba was than Peltier and McNair at the start of the move. As the oldest and slowest of our 3 centre backs, he's surely the one you'd have furthest back as he's got to do less running then and can rely more on his positional sense. He sprinted back from near the halfway line to stop the initial dangerous pass and then immediately messed up, it wouldn't surprise me if part of the reason for the mistake was because he was knackered from the sprint. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) I think Fry might be replacing Bamba this weekend. And i think Wilder has a good “reason” in dropping him as he will say its a big ask for a 36yr old to play 3 games in 1 week. I expect a back 3 of Paddy, Fry and Peltier. And if Fry not fit then I would be tempted to go with Dijksteel Paddy and Peltier Edited November 25, 2021 by TLF10 1 Link to post Share on other sites

In my opinion we're not good enough to go up we're a bang average Championship side, if I'm wrong great shoot me down in flames, but for me Wilder should have been appointed a couple of month before the season started and I'd gamble half of this squad wouldn't be here. He can't bring players in till January and I think that will be to late. Link to post Share on other sites

It was Paddys fault for getting whacked by Bamba's clearance he should have jumped, ducked or dived out of the way. Link to post Share on other sites
Leesider 1,069 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I reckon diving might have been his best suited option🤣🤣🤣 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,218 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 If Bamba was so knackered after running 50 yards that he can't think straight then it's probably time for him to retire. He simply made a mistake, a mistake that came because we've just changed managers, and they are asking the players to do completely different things. Wilder wants them to play out, Warnock wanted them to just get rid. Bamba was caught between those two things in my opinion 🤷♂️ Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was because he tried to pass the ball out to Bola. Ordinarily I think he'd have just cleared it anywhere and not worried about it. Here he was looking for a pass. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
