He's very light weight and we have too many small guys at it is. If he's on big money (and I suspect he is) then he's not worth it for us.
Ebiowei’s a f’kin liability defensively.. Teams just attack our flanks. No wonder Greaves is pissed.. Allam’s GONE.
After the exciting 4 4 draw with Sunderland that was a bit of a let down. From being scintillating in the first half at Sunderland we were lucky not to be at least 2 goals down in the same half this game due to Darlow and the fact that Millwall did not have there shooting boots on. But to give LR his due he saw the problem and mad4 effective changes at half time that gave us a fighting chance-which we took-against a well drilled Millwall side. Why on earth Traore was on the bench to start with I have no idea. When Traore came on he did not play his best game since I dont think he made any of those defense splitting passes that he is capable of but he did of course score his glorious goal. Its clear that we should not go out of our way to retain Ebowei for next season, Also Allayahar is definitely less effective than many of us thought and also Longman continues to show promise but never quite makes itl happen. Tufan was ok but many times today his first touch was poor on many occasions. Seri just did not seem to get going and was not his imperious self and its clear that his long passes are nowhere Huddlestonesque like. Slater was industrious and effective at the beginning of the first half but then went off the boil. The two center back were there usual reliable sefves and Coyle ran his heart out. Elder appears to be a better left back than Greaves which does not bode well for the amount of any transfer fee that we will get for Greaves Looks like Darlow is a "keeper"
Listless, end of season stuff, against a Millwall side who flatter to deceive. Still a win is a win is a win.....For a team in the playoffs there turnout was piss poor, though it is a Bank Holiday Monday. Don't think I've seen a bigger team at City. All of them looked about 6'8 with the exception of wee George. PS...I'm starting an appeal campaign for a new dog for the bloke who recommended Ebioweio to City.
Traore been out for a year with hamstring issues, starting him 2 games in 4 days would've been a risk
Just listened to Rosie’s post match interview, certainly puts to bed a worry of him being too nice for me. Last we’ll see if Malcolm I think.
Malcolm has really let Rosie down, he fought tooth and nail to get him here, from the day he got the job he was his #1 target and the performance's Malcolm has put in are absolutely atrocious, no effort, no desire and I think we can all agree a waste of money. I think you can tell how much it's hurt Rosie with his post match comments today.
I think maybe the contrary NT... whilst not mathematically safe, I think he will use the next few games to get 'proper' looks at people. Some of the teams we will be playing will be as expansive as Sunderland were and that plays into LR philosophy of finding space behind. The big downside for the lad, is that he doesnt seem to fit the give 100% ethic the manager has spoken about.
He’s often spotted with large amounts of sweet treats in his shopping trolley in St Stephens Tesco. All the talent and zero application. Probably what happens when your wage is multiplied by 20x overnight
Probably just me but I'd rather have a dull 1-0 win we hardly deserve to a chaotic 4-4 draw every day of the week
In a couple of games he has shown what he can do. But he reverted to the form of his debut today, looking like he didn’t really want to be there. Very odd.
Rosy’s post-match interview sounded like a direct challenge to the players with the message being “if I don’t see 100% from every one of you in our last 5 games, find yourself another ****ing club in the summer because you won’t be here”.
