Walters was trying too hard in my opinion because of his Ipswich connection and that's why he stepped up for the peno over matty but he never looked confident. I almost felt before he kicked it he was going to miss. Matty should have took it to be honest!
We were pretty **** at finishing today, but we pretty much controlled the game when they went down to 10. I think a draw was fair.
Not watched or heard anything of the game but if we were as poor as most of you are saying then we have been lucky I suppose and my pre-match prediction was right. Please get some new signings in TP.
Got away with it today. Didn't deserve a point. Etherington, Shawcross, Shotton and to an extent Jones played well but the rest were complete and utterly abysmal, Walters especially.
Player Ratings: Begovic - 4/10 Huth- 5/10 Shawcross - 10/10 Woodgate - 2/10 Wilson - 1/10 Pennant - Not on long enough for a rating Whelan - 4/10 Whitehead - 3/10 Etherington - 9/10 Jones - 5/10 Walters - 0/10 Shotton - 8/10 Pugh -0/10
I wouldn't say Walters was a 0/10, he was shocking at finishing, but he certainly created a lot of chances today. Maybe a 5/10?
He got the penalty decision wrong, but still a red for being the last man, but other than that he hardly "destroyed" the game.
We did that ourselves. Terrible game. He was atrocious. He got the red right as he was the last man but never in a million years a penalty, awful decision.
Sgt Begovic 4/10? You kidding? He kept us in the game at 1-0 down, with 3 class saves,& also dominated his area throughout the match. Walters 0/10 The guy ran his nuts off again, got into some great positions, but failed to hit( I agree ) any on target. 0/10 is very, very harsh. Woodgate 2/10 You blind or just do not rate him? At least a 7. The others i can kind of agree with.
Begovic made saves an under 9's keeper would be expected to make and often (especially 1st half) refused to come out his 6 yard box when he should've. I'm a massive fan of Walters but today his touch was atrocious, passing and shooting equally as bad and left De Laet free for their goal. Woodgate's stupid tackle led to the free kick for the goal, his clearances were going sideways, he was missing tackles.
sounded like Shotty had a good game when he came on, thought matty should have taken the pen aswell R
Get off your SCFC we are **** glasses So Woodgate gave away a free kick which led to there goal, this will happen throughout the season, so will you give 2/10 to every player who does that? Under 9's saves from Begovic? I suggest you look at the match again tonight on MOTD2, then see if under 9's could complete those saves. Just because De Laet lost walters for the goal, does not in my opinion give him a rating of 0
Sgt, You should write for the Sentinel, instead of Martin Spinks's "give everyone a 7 and brown nose TP" efforts. Although we were not that good today, I think scores of zero (even for the abject Pugh - can we have a different Trumpton fireman please?) are a tad harsh. I have had a go at JoHn W's finishing in a different thread, but it was his 5th Marathon in 15 days, he did at least try. When you look at the amount of work that he and the wide men get through, why is it that our central midfield can not cover this amount of ground? When Norwich were down to 10 men and everyone played 20 yards further forwared, we looked much better.
Kenwyne Jones gave us the draw actually, if we had scored the penalty I would agree with you. But it's not the ref's fault we dominated the second half.
