Barnaby 954 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Awful display all over the park and Pulis needs to up the anti as we can not rely on others all the time You folk ever thought about It, maybe they dont want promotion,Most of these players will be looking for another club,my old man was convinced they didn't want promotion Link to post Share on other sites
Boro Badger 87 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Assombolonga is deadly in the box He needs 3-4 clear chances to score from anywhere. Strong and quick, but not deadly! Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy 140 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Crap result. Crap performance. Crap chance of us getting promoted. Fair assessment? All except that bit. We still have a reasonable shout at promotion. Somehow. Do we? Even if we do finish 6th, can you realistically see us beating Villa or Fulham when we've come up short practically every time we've played a good side. Just can't see it. Nah we should just give up and die. Thats best. I know Ill not be missed but Ill take a little break from this forum now. I am pregnant and cant get so much negative *** around me..... Ill see you guys/gals when the wind is blowing more positive again Huggles Champion, see you later! :blush: Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Assombalonga isn't useless.. his goal record alone shows that. He was also banging them in under Monk earlier in the season and everyone was creaming over them. He just obviously doesn't work under Pulis, much like Traore didn't work under Monk. Players only thrive in systems or with managers they work well with.. doesn't make them useless or crap. Well this manager is going to play this way and no other. Just like Braithwaite leaving the club, no point keeping a player who is useless to the manager who is actually managing the club. Also think it's a bit of an excuse for him that doesn't fully explain his turn in form. Had an effect, for sure. But he's a goalscorer who until today hadn't scored a goal since December, with ample opportunity to do so. I don't think Traore would have been a bad match for Monk if he'd actually have been willing to spend time developing him. Monk's failing with Traore was nothing to do with his system, it was everything to do with his approach to how players learn. He wanted to build a team capable of thinking for itself, something Traore has shown in the past he's not entirely able to do. Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Have you ever seen a player as bad as Cranie? WTF is he supposed to be? One of the worst single performances I've seen in 30+ years of going. To think we started the season with Cyrus Christie charging forward, now this. Cranie was indeed the worst one on the pitch for me too. I think he made Barragan look good today which is saying a whole lot. Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Crap game, crap performance, crap ref and I'd rather have a homesick Fabio on the left than Friend. The fact that our only outlet AT ALL is Adama is shocking, talk about a one man team. Link to post Share on other sites

Oh aye I agree, don't think Traore did anything wrong under Monk, was Monk's fault for not bringing out the potential in him. All I was trying to say is certain players don't work in certain systems... sort of like Rhodes. Banged them in at Blackburn at a 4-4-2 and seemingly struggled with us and Sheff Wed with a different system. Britt's no doubt lost form mind, but when a striker isn't playing that'll do it. Strikers are very much confidence players. Link to post Share on other sites
