wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Wilder saying only really Dijksteel coming out with much credit today. Says keeper should make a save and says worst home performance from his team so far. Certainly sees what we do a lot of the time, I think. Makes a change from watching Howson get dragged round the pitch then Warnock coming out and saying he was the best player. Whilst it's a disappointing result and performance, and it's his job to make sure they perform well and win today's game, I much prefer a manager that sees the game by and large the way we see it and saying as such in the aftermath. It's incredibly frustrating when fans can see the problems and the manager refuses to acknowledge them or deflects the blame onto something or somebody else. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Old Codger 3,064 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 we were poor and had one of those days when nothing came off. Says it all when the highlight was Connolly helping the lad to reach the touchline a little quicker. Poor ref, but no excuse for us not doing the business. taking four passes when should be one and too many players with Teflon boots. We don't seem to have anyone that can physically assert themselves when it matters and when it gets scrappy, then that is usually it. May be just my imagination, but two or three also look as though they are carrying injuries or just going through a bad patch. Either way, need to pick up point from every game or hope our rivals hit the skids too and we can sneak into sixth on the last day of the season 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It keeps a balance , Tav trust but doesn't work . I think Connolly at this point can only be playing for his movement. To be fair to him, he gets involved in the battle between midfield and attack, he did have a couple of moments today where he picked up the ball in a deeper area and turned it into something else. There was even that moment second half where he looked like he buggered up and he managed to turn it into a decent pass for Coburn when it unfortunately hit his back. But similarly to Watmore, put a chance on a plate for him in the penalty box and I would not trust him to finish it. I wouldn't be shocked to see him go goalless until the end of this season right now. He has to do something bloody spectacular between now and the end of the season to make me think twice about not wanting to sign him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,490 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Has Crooks got a gentleman's agreement with Payero that he will allow him a run in the team when he is fit. His level of performance has dropped recently and he seems to be competing with Clinton's as to who can acquire the most cards. Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,967 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I missed the game and only just read the result, not once twice and to say i am devastated would be understatement. Much to the displeasure of some I give my assessment on the team and while I admire and commend there effort we simply don’t have the quality. Still we have a chance, a slim one but I think we may just scrap the play off. Link to post Share on other sites

Surely it's just as frustrating when the Manager see's those supposed same problems but keeps selecting the same players and the same tactics. A Keeper who couldn't save postage stamps and Strikers who can't score because either they are garbage (notably of his choosing) or hoofed balls which doesn't suit them but because they ineffectually run around a lot like demented Jack Terriers with a Roman Candle up their derriere's he doesn't blame them? I get that Ikpeazu and Hernandez weren't his answer but worryingly his answer makes those two look like world beaters which takes some doing considering one was a Donkey and the other a three legged race horse.

He is either leaning back or stretching for the ball. I don’t see what he would bring to the club and expect him leaving. Link to post Share on other sites

As regards the Goalkeeping farce the predictability of it has gone beyond comical now. None of our strikers are firing, we don't have a goalkeeping alternative. What exactly are you hoping for right now? Aren't you also someone who criticised Daniels being selected before he was dropped too? What exactly are you expecting to be the solution to that? You keep throwing Uche and Hernandez into the equation too as if they ever did anything to solve the frontline problem for us under either manager. Link to post Share on other sites

sanddancer 1,967 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Oh dear just caught up. With so much at stake and we were at home that is possibly one the the worst games to date. Over the season we have thrown away some easy points but I don’t think we deserved any today. Strange because I normally applaud our effort right up to final whistle. Oh well I think we will know our fate after the next two games. Link to post Share on other sites
