Did anyone else notice this yesterday? I thought I'd seen it at the time and just saw the highlights that confirmed he ran away insinuating that us fans should be quiet, presumably because we moan about his performances. Personally I think he's got away lightly this season considering how much of a disappointment he's been, are we supposed to not be annoyed when he puts a ball out of play with 2 minutes left?! Yesterday he was better than normal, but still nowhere near where he should be and as a captain of our club I don't expect to see that sort of behaviour.
think it was a relief as yes it was a terrible cross 2 minutes before. I am not his greatest fan of his simply because i expected more from him this season. Too many loose passes, telling others to get back when he loses the ball whilst standing there watching. He has ability no doubt but needs to do more and should have scored more goals as he has a terrific shot. Waiting for bristol's comments soon to say how wonderful Loft is and how important he is.
I think in time he will do well, but at present he only seems to turn it on when others change the game. As captain he should be the one to pull us up when we're having an off day.
He has been better recently but nowhere near the level he was at when playing for Vale. Hopefully he develops as he continues in the role. I was one of those in the GRS that moaned when he screwed up the freekick but I'm happy to see that he didn't shy away and stepped up. I as a ST holder in the GRS have no problem if he celebrates like that if he scores more often.
It would be sad to disappoint Gioblues. Actually I do not think Loft is wonderful but I do admire the fact that he runs further than anyone else, makes more tackles, passes more often, makes himself available more frequently to receive a pass and has more vision and ambition when he does pass than anyone else. Of course, anyone who is so much more involved in the game will make more errors which can fuel opinions contrary to my own, but coping with differing opinions is half the fun of watching football. Leaving aside opinion, it is sometimes useful to look at facts. In the case of Loft he has missed nine league games which have yielded 9 points and played in twenty eight games which have yielded 38 points. I wonder why the team plays so much better with Loft in it?
Loft has been very hit and miss this season, perhaps the pressure of coming to your home town club and being touted as the next big thing has got to him a bit. The constant changing of the midfield under Taylor didn't do him any good so I think we need to give him more time to bed in. As for Saturday I thought he was poor, his passing was all over the place but he did make some telling tackles so you can't be too critical. The RE (well some elements) seemed to be on his back from the start, so I think he celebration and shushing of fans was justified, lets face many of us fans are opinionated SOBs
Loft has to be careful with his actions towards supporters or he will now get even more stick when he delivers a poor pass or when giving the ball away. It is a bit of a shame that supporters have not taken to him like Kedwell or Cody being a local lad. Best thing he can now do is start scoring more goals and not keep giving the ball away and telling other players to chase after it when he losses the ball. Do not think I am anti Loft far from it.I was one of the first people to suggest Loft to be captain as soon as he was signed as he had done well at Port Vale and was there captain.But he should not be automatically in the team when he loses form.
I don't think the fans opinion on players should count at all in player selection, the best placed man to make team selection is the manager and that is where the line should stop. Lets be honest the quality of player we are looking at in L1 isn't outstanding, passes will be misplaced and mistakes will be made, so to be overly critical is unfair and shows unrealistic views.
