That was particularly awful. What has Adelakun done to deserve his starting berth ahead of KLP? Mind you, they were all awful today, even KLP when he came on. Honeyman was particularly dire all game for someone I rate.
He(Honeyman) has had a decent season so far,let's hope he's had a one off,most players do at some point along the way.He's the type of lad that will question his performance today and right it the next game.
I'm still scratching my eyeballs out after that. We looked for most of the game as if we'd turned up 20 minutes before kick off still hanging from the night before with half a kebab on the go. Honeyman wasn't just bad today, he was Jason Jarrett bad. As the old saying goes, he couldn't pass water. And Smallwood was Simon Walton bad. If that game was a beer, it was Mansfield Bitter. ****e.
I think it was actually Barbican, that non alcoholic ****e that tastes like the smell of piss in **** pub toilets.
Re Adelukan, in that incident I thought the main problem was the lack of movement of the players ahead of him. Pretty regular problem.
.Well, that was an extremely difficult watch, at no stage did we look like scoring, apart from Honeyman's glaring miss late on. We were poor all over the pitch, not one player came out with any credit IMO. Having said that Terry showed again his lack of ability to change the way of playing to counteract what the opponent's manager has got his side playing. Credit to Shrewsbury who did a job on us, and they carried out their managers plan to a tee. Terry was outmanoeuvred again. As one or two other have said I can see Coyle getting his chance now, as Emmanuel does look a bit leggy. Batty should also get a start, as the mid-field needs freshening up. Let's hope this is a blip which most teams have during a season, whereby they lose a game or two, and that we can then have a successful Xmas schedule. However I am not convinced this is the case, I guess TWT. P.S. It really was a chance missed, if we had won we would have been 5 points clear with a game in hand.
Why the fk aren't the questions that matter asked in these interviews ffs .. the glaring question is and should have been how do you expect 3 men in midfield to match up week in week out against 4 and maintain their levels
Doesn't need to be against Man City... he's just outstanding.... the amount of defensive work he does is immense..
After Blackpool Tuesday, we then have Portsmouth home, Sunderland away, Lincoln home, Charlton home and then 8-0 Wigan away. Should tell us about where we are.
