I can only assume that all the criticism of Colback must be because he's ginger. He was our best player in the first half. Won the ball countless times and played it neat and simple. Yes, he should have scored in the 2nd, but he wasn't the only one. Dixon Bonner was terrible when he came on, but he's admired. I'm amazed Dykes didn't miss his tap in. All he did apart from that is fall over and yet Colback gets pelters. Smyth was brilliant after coming on, but it was all so desperate and frantic. Only a fantastic save stopped us equalising. We're doomed, but hopefully Marti will stay for the rebuild in league 1.
Plenty of effort, but you don't get points as plucky losers. Smyth provided the chances in 2nd half, but our finishing is woeful.
Another 3 points we've thrown away. 2 worldies from a 90 Yr old ****ter and 30 gilt edged chances wasted. Just the usual then ! Smyth was ****ing superb when he came on and should be starting end of. Colback can **** right off back to ginger ****ville
Colback was OK nothing more. Agree Bonner was poor today when he came on - he’s done better. Goal apart, Dykes is always a yard off where he needs to be; Armstrong worked hard but should have had a goal today - he has to do better. Willock & Chair looked off being match fit. Smyth was a game changer, in any other team today forwards would be taking some of those chances - our forward line wasted a lot of excellent work. Dunne was disappointing for me. A lot of average performances today, which is actually better than we’ve seen recently. Another home game wasted. Hard to see us getting out of this with this group of players.
Either way another defeat and no real traction. We have to stop shipping goals albeit it seems Livermores first was unstoppable. We won't be going anywhere if we ship 2 or more goals every match I like Cifuentes but wheeling him into a relegation battle means playing more like Bury than Barcelona Let's face it, the bottom 7 or 8 sides are useless, any team stringing together 2 or 3 wins can get out of this mess
He was ****ing diabolical in my eyes mate, terrible at both ends of the pitch. No pace , poor passing and not putting your body on the line to block a goalbound shot is unforgivable from anyone in my book !
Total bollocks. He hasn't been good since his first few games, but he was excellent first half. Some so called fans only notice the skillful, flashy players and never the "water carriers". Colback faded 2nd half and was rightly replaced. If you think he was "diabolical", then I suggest you concentrate on a different sport.
How the **** did we lose that! World class save from their keeper, so many chances went begging again!
