Re; Pedro....Only got himself to blame...That challenge was asking for a red card....Hope he gets the goal that keeps us up...vis-a-vis Deano at Cardiff.
It could also have a good knock on effect for the rest of the season. A kick up the arse that despite a few good results previously and many saying we're too good to go down we have to actually perform on the pitch and win games they aren't just going to be handed to us.
Yes, Ric deserved better than that. Was good to see Gav out and about again. Proper pub, Sandringham.
The way the players trooped off with their heads down on their chests I'd say an arse kicking session is the last thing they want. I thought Selles got it badly wrong today in terms of line-up and subs, but we aren't exactly over stuffed with talent.
Well, shades of the Cardiff game, never looked like scoring, even though had the lions share of possession. Certainly the best we could have done was a 0-0 draw, which is what the game looked like being, until the freakish own goal. Without Pedro we look toothless up front, Joseph works hard but as yet doesn't look like a prolific striker in the making. Gelhardt should have been up the middle from the start, even though he did look the most likely to do something even from the wings. Generally a poor showing all round, all eyes on Derby on Wednesday night, we certainly need to up our game again to stand a chance of surviving in this league.
I’m not sure I understand why everyone is complaining that Joseph doesn’t look like a prolific goalscorer at this level: everything we were told about him before he signed highlighted his lack of goals. Even Bruce said it was his movement that was his strength, not his goals. He was never going to score loads – especially so soon after making the step up. It doesn’t help that we keep playing him on his own or out of position. I think there’s a player there, but he needs to be playing alongside another striker.
I agree. As I said the following....'but we aren't exactly over stuffed with talent.' We do have a couple of talented players, but not enough...If we do stay up, going to need a big rebuild yes...Not sure if the owner's got it in him.
Im not going to write him off yet However l1 to championship is a big step up Im not sure yet if he has what it takes But today he was absolutely woeful In every aspect It was like man vs boys seeing him today
Joseph started well, he looked up to it in his first few appearances. He’s just had his confidence coached out of him same as all our other players. Wouldn’t write him off yet, he’s got everything to make it, physical and technical ability.
Does anybody know what we actually do during international breaks ? If players went away for a few days maybe they should have actually been working on things at the training ground because that performance was absolute ****
What is the logic in watering the pitch after the warm up. Player’s slipping and even changing boots in the first half.
Joseph may very well turn out to be a good championship target man, if he’s given a season or two. The issue is we needed to sign someone who could come in and help us now.
Likewise Burstow; signed at great expense with an eye on the future. The potential of both of them is there to see in flashes but if we fall down a league it's all going to turn to ****.
