"We cant spend the first 25 minutes to get warmed up!" "I want the second half performance they gave from the start." "I have told the players if they give that second half performance and determination for 90 minutes we will be fine." "But if they play tentatively like the first half we will struggle." "We should have scored 2 or 3 goals second half." So I may just be right, more blame needs to be laid at the feet (literally) of the players. Big Niall had a pop at the players too. He also said. "Hand on heart I'm delighted MON is such a great manager and is the best hope of us getting out of this slump." But he isn't infallible he also said. "MON has the boards full support and the FANS wont turn on him!"
MoN, talk is cheap. I have one question.. If Fletcher hadn't took a slight knock, would you have replaced him with Wickham 2nd half, or indeed would you have brought Wickham on anyway for another player, or just carried on with the pile of ****e from the 1st half.?
TBF mate we looked the much better team just before the half came. But I agree about we have to at least try two up Fletcher isn't a target man, he is a pass too and let me score man. I'm still on the fence with Wickham he too often looks ponderous to me. Oh how Jones could have helped Fletch.
I'm still willing to give him a chance, but I would have expected if he was doing it in training, he would be forcing his way into the team anyway.
But MR what about your favourite player, the impeccable Mr Larsson What is his purpose? Set pieces, well Gardner seems to hit the ball a lot better these days, so if Gardner can take over the set pieces, then Larsson is unemployed.
I really did try to not mention him mate honest but did here. http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/182556-Right-off-on-me-own-again! Sadly I think he is becoming a liability, as apart from contributing little. He gives away daft free kicks when he gets caught ball watching.
I'm off to the land of Nod mate. Sitting here chatting with you browsing the other unread threads and 3-15 sneaked up on me lol. Not actually tired, but knowing my luck I will probably fall asleep when I'm supposed to get the boy up at 6 for work.
Been saying Whickham should be given a chance for weeks but, as a pair with Fletcher. He looked good yesterday and with Fletcher up top with him (MON take note) we should be able to take the game to the other side without them knocking a couple in first.
A least MON is giving the same ****e excuses that Bruce did, and is willing to state reality. The players need to have a good look at themselves, as the 1st half was shocking.
