Brad Guzan is ****. Jack Hobbs is ****. James Chester is a **** fullback. James Harper is ****. Robert Koren is ****. Aaron McLean is ****. Andy Dawson needs to be quicker. Anthony Gerrard should never have the ball because he just gives it away. That was a piss poor excuse for a football match and unless some miracle happens over the next away games, will be my last visit to the KC this season. Pearson may have worked wonders but his style is **** and boring, we can't create or score, this needs to change. We have some very attacking players, use them properly and let them play. Fed up of spending the whole day travelling to home games and back to watch this awful ****. Next season onwards and upwards!
we also know nigel pearson is a tactical ****wit only capable of changing a game for the worse! taking off devitt and mcclean who were probably two of the better performers. and why do people boo harper? is anyone seriously gonna tell me he was the worst player out there?
Lets be honest Gerrard is the best striker we have had in a long long time, Hobbs did not put a foot wrong, Chester is class just not a full back. The main issue is that they should not be used as our main playmakers, they are centre halfs, Harper and Evans should be taking far more of the ball and dictating play. Koren does not look interested, how is it NP's fault Koren and evans where not interested in the slightest, that Simpson could barely control the ball. I just feel sorry for Matty Fryatt. However i will be at Watford next week as i support my team through thick and thin, Nigel P is one of the best things to happen to us for a long time, just people insist on us become the best team in the world in a few months.
I thought Devitt was ****. The problem is we can only play counter attacking football. We do not press or have any tempo at home when we should be going at teams. The first 5 mins looked promising, in fact we had most of the game throughout but could do nothing in the final third. Our lack of any sense of urgency worries me. Set pieces and even throw ins are almost like bloody egg chasers rather than wanting to get on with the game. I know you cant do it all the time but even Guzan seemed to be ****ing about for ages for goal kicks.
Tbh the delivery into the box from set pieces today was awful..... I did not think Hobbs played to bad, there only goal came from Harper's mistake not Hobb's.
i hate using this saying, but im going too...Millwall seemed to want it more.. simpsons effort in the 92nd min, was about the only time i thought we might score.. in a home game- chasing a top 6 spot, 1-0 down...thats pretty awful.. wheres the urgency, the fight and the passion...?? he was injured, thats where..
I have to say i really like NP and what he is doing but that quote sums up the game for me.... Even if it does use one of Brownys favourite quotes.
Lets just get this season out of the way and look ahead to the next campaign, hopefully we will have a bit of dosh to spend and we might aquire a decent left back, central midfielder and left midfield, then we will be looking good. I have to agree though, today we were piss poor in every department, no width, long balls and players out of position.
First time in a while i've left a match feeling incredibly pissed off. Not at the races today and can't have any complaints. Millwall are no great shakes and to see theem do the double over us adds insult to injury. Dawson's corners were poor, we couldn't seem to get the ball into the box and our play seemed static. Our only real chance of the play offs now are 6 points in the next two away games, something i can't see us doing in all honesty. Play offs and promotion seem a step too far for us at the moment, hopefully with some tweaking of the squad in the Summer things may begin to look more fluent than this afternoon. If we're still seeing the same thing in October i'll be alarmed as well as pissed off. Just makes it worse TWS won, and i'm off to a party tonight with some of their die hard fans, fml. Let's hope for better for the last 7 games.
Barmby is a **** for injuring himself at such a crucial stage. I used to defend Harper but game by game he's now just getting forever worse and worse. Hobbs was the worst player on the pitch IMO. Koren just doesn't care and should be on the bench until we cash in in the summer. I'm just fed up of travelling for so much to watch **** like that with no passion or want to win. IMO the only players who looked to be trying today were devitt, fryatt, McLean and belaid. I like Pearson but his style doesn't suit his signings, we've got good players with the potential to just create and score freely but instead they're made to just defend defend defend and are frozen to their positions with no freedom to venture forwards. Our midfield needs to start bossing games and bursting forwards. At the minute they're just a 2nd defensive line. Were far too easy to play against as all teams have to do is Mark fryatt and were stuck. Everything goes through fryatt and McLean and no one else, our players just don't move and all we can do is pass around until the defence is forced to lump it back to them because were closed down.
Really dissapointed about that result. I was annoyed to hear N Pearson scream to the West Stand "Well done for booing off your own player". I tracked Harper all game and I'm not sure how Pearson could defend him. The fact that Gerrard held his hands up in disgust to the central midfielders says it all. Nigel looked like a man under intense presure trying to blame it on other circumstances i.e. the fourth official although I'm sure thats a way to get his anger out. All is not lost yet....I don't think.
bloke behind me blames the referee every single game... today he shouted, well done ref, your the reason we lost...i couldnt resist turning around and asking if the fact we had no shots on goal, might be a more realistic reason ..
Pretty sure Harper was far from being the worst player, Evans and Koren where awful in comparison, Chester was worse but he is no RB, Dawson was abysmal and still insist on holding players. Why boo your own player off? Harper was ok today, and why do we need a scape goat like him? You should neve rboo your own player i really do feel sorry for Harper.
Harper was by no means the worst player today, if Pearson had any sense he would've took Evans off instead and avoided the booing. Though I would say, the management should concentrate more on the performance of the team rather than the fans. Criticising the fans when we've suffered dross at home all season is pathetic.
Absolutely true! I didn't boo him and I like Harper however it was a bit of a dissapointment to see Pearson trying to find a scapegoat a little bit. It was more of an ironic cheer than a boo I guess. I know he is incredibly passionate however the way he went about it let him down. I dont think one player had a decent game today. Harpers positioning as a central midfielder was below par. He should have been looking for the right men and letting passes flow and it just wasn't happening. That can be said for the whole team really. Nothing clicked today.
been saying for a while niether Koren n Evans are being effective in midfield and both should be dropped imho but they by n large seem to avoid critiscm
Evans is still riding on the fact he came from Man Utd, even though they have between January and now decided he's not good enough. He's not actually done anything but gets praised, like the rest of the team really.
