If any mature player can’t command a team place regularly barring tactical decision after 6 months he is isnt good enough, and won’t improve the team . We are still pedestrian , why couldn’t we sit deep with Connolly and Allayhar countering ? Maybe
You weren't 'shot down'. I simply pointed out that peddling rumours around would help no-one and you never really brought much up apart from saying his attitude was wrong(although someone did post what he had heard about a dressing room spat). I'm not peddling rumours or questioning his attitude,I'm assuming he's on the naughty step(for what,I don't know) and it's pretty evident that's the case,otherwise he should've been used today.
Tufan played out of position on left in first half. There have been at least two occasions where DeLap could have put Tufan in clear but instead DeLap ran into the area looking for a dive. Not sure Sinik can do much if he doesn’t get picked.
I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. I can’t think of many things worse then spending time in West Bromwich when it’s pissing it down with rain in Autumn might take them a week or so to recover. Is Philogene back next week.
Tufan was drifting wide. He was playing in his usual role next to Delap but no he jogs about the pitch uninterested.
If Docherty and Vaughan are our strength off the bench then we deserve to be the mid position team we are dropping towards
Oh well, can't win 'em all. We started the 2nd half well then just seemed to lose our way for 15 mins and WB took advantage. Best team won.
Frustrating as I didn't think they were great. Played well in parts but sloppy mistakes cost us yet again. I think today shows that our depth just isn't good enough. Need to be looking at a striker and a winger in January. Hudds, Rotherham, Watford at home with Swansea and QPR away up next. Feels like a massive 5 games and gives us the chance to cement ourselves as a play off chasing side.
Too many players just gave up when we went behind. We were on top up to that point. Crap from Vaughan for the third but he never should have been left isolated like that. He gets beat and then it was an easy run deep into our box. And I don't know what happened to Greaves for the second. Apart from the fact he's not a fullback and that's what you get thumbing him in there.
I don’t really feel like I learnt much today. We’ve got a decent full strength first team - perhaps knocking on the door of the play offs - but the rest of the squad is unbalanced and isnt there yet. Ship out Allahyar, Sinik and Docherty and replace them and we are getting there. Looking likely we might need a better replacement for Connolly too.
