cheers again RTB... don't usually say this but that was an ordeal to watch, well done to the fans that travelled. i am no coach basically i just like to enjoy games without having to examine everything that goes on but wtf has happened to bellingham, he finally got 'rested' and came on into the 2nd half to perform like he did in earlier games including a good goal...tonight he seemed more knackered than ever. not going to single him out though, as i said earlier i would give onien/ballard/mundle any real credit, after a silky game at the weekend neil just did not get into the game, ekwah plodded about and no great urgency... i was hoping it was a bit of a tactical call but it never changed and it really does look like three people for one position, it would make a big difference if we had a forwad thinking play maker in there, poor rusyn, the lad has not had it easy with the troubles back at home, language problems and he runs his arse off for little support. nee idea what to say about the ref but he certainly could have given them a penalty and we could have had a lad sent off, he fell for their fouls a lot of the time but let's be honest, he did not make a jot of difference to the score and they could/should have easily added at least two more. said it months and months ago time and again that the team needs to get over to a 5 a side pitch and learn to pass the feckin ball to a team mate, it is still an ongoing and game losing problem that needs fixing. any scouts tell me where/why i am wrong here because you may well see something along the tactical lines that i am completely missing but at this moment i am really struggling to see it any differently. MotM onien with ballard a close second, with the front men losing the ball and being slow they had a lot to defend.
No thanks. I am out clear you and the powers have the target in site. No worries. I knew you or someone else would dig it out and it happened. For record too, exile shouldn't have been banned either. I'll bow out. Enjoy.
Well unfortunately that was a shambles Really thought we’d moved on second half against Plymouth but Beales tactics back to square one tonight Slow predictable toothless no movement something has to change so disappointing I want to give the lad a chance but he’s sucking the life out of the team
Yes we were poor tonight, but to say we were comprehensively outplayed is just complete rubbish, they were poor aswell but got the break for the goal. We didn't create anything other than Hume near the end
Utter ****e. Not one player played well. Absolutely shameful performance - no urgency at all. Pathetic
I think, if I may, his point is you turn up on the bad results? Now I may be wrong @Smug in Boots can answer himself but that would be my interpretation.
What problems did he cause? Lost the ball on multiple occasions, had a shot when he had THREE open players to pass to, ran down blind alleys and offers zero goal threat or creativity. What does he bring to the team?
They should have won 3 or 4 nil. They were better than us in every position on the park. Even their right winger was schooling Jack Clarke. I don't mind losing games, but a lack or effort and urgency is absolutely shameful.
Yes had that run into the box went down off the pitch and went across to the bench never came back on!
Thats what I took from it as well. Hate accusing players of it because we don't really know but i've seen them all work a lot harder than that even in bad defeats.
It’s becoming too easy for teams to do a job on us imo. Let us piss around with the ball in the middle of the pitch then hit us on the counter or a set piece and back to sitting with everyone behind the ball.
All on the players that for me, they were sloppy, slow, weak (I could go on) all game. Slightly picked up after half time then we went back to strolling about like we were at a particularly interesting art gallery. Probably Beale could have set us up better but that was about our lads turning up with the match already won in their imaginations. Can't be doing that.
