If a player is jumping for a header and gets studs in his chest, even if he's a midget ginger, it's going to be a red card every time.
I said after the first game, he’s not the answer. Acun said “he wouldn’t take a risk with a goal scorer” so far he hasn’t delivered on that promise
He’s clearly shot for confidence at one stage everything he touched turned to goals but yeah there’s a reason a player with 18 top flight Portugal premier league goals last season came to us over a premier league side especially available for free
Worrying result considering we had a penalty AND were against 10 men for a while (100% red card by the way). I thought Longman was excellent - one of the only ones brave enough to move forward. He’s starting to prove me wrong. Smith was the opposite to this. In fact, that was a real mixed bag of good and poor performances. One thing is clear though, we need more attacking players starting. Especially at home.
That poor Sunderland side that's 3 points off the playoffs? If they looked poor its because we made them look poor. Seem to have improved defensively, Oscar hasn't played for 2 months so needs to get back to full sharpness and no Pelkas today so we're light up front still. We've got 2 points from 2 games we'd have lost a few weeks ago. That's something to build on.
e Think we were all looking for the Rosenoir to provide the magic formulae but as many have found before him its elusive to say the least. In previous games it looked as though there might be the beginings. Hope todays showing is not going to be like when the Britons lost the formulae for central heating when the Roman Empire collapsed. If so its going to be a hell of a long time before we get back to the Premier League. Lets see AD 300 (roughly) to 1960 thats about 1600 years.
if it's going to be such ****e to watch, can he let us know in advance so can watch paint dry instead
In defence of Rosie....that pen goes in the back of the net and we prob run out comfortable winners, move up the league and everyone's happy. There's no magic wand, this will take time
How many mens have we had this year... anyone know... how many have we converted.. I like defenders taking pens, basic put your foot through it, none of this try and hit the side netting crap...
All I'm going to say is, I can see what Rosie is trying to do, but I don't think he has the players ( bar a handful) to do it. Actually, I'm going to say something else....I can't see how this kind of football, is going to get fans in the ground or help create an atmosphere within the ground ( until at the very least we get the players who can play the system)
He's just very often anonymous up there and while he doesn't always have tonnes of support of service, he's really not doing much
I agree but it was a weird lineup to begin with. I think it’s harsh on Sinik to give him a few minutes here and there and expect things. He needs to be starting. He looked sharp when he came on.
Was reduced to listening to it on Ifollow this afternoon - long periods of silence from the commentator during which could barely hear the crowd. I agree that the sort of football which gets a crowd going is when a team are on the front foot and it didn't sound like we were that today really?
absolutely, only player in our side close to him is Ozan. Not convinced Rosey has the right idea but early days.
