Okay Col ...I bet you a whiskey vs gandt we beat hull By the way Col ....wasn't it a Konch cross that fell to Phillips to (left with an open goal) pass it brilliantly into the hands of the Huddersfield goalie..only for Henry to miss the rebound header
The frightening thing about today was that JFH has had some time now to assess the current players and he has decided that Toszer and Henry, are better options than any from Faurlin, Chery, Luongo, Doughty
Well I've driven home much too fast, eaten something, posted a bit on here, taken the dog for a walk and am now watching the Agatha Christie thing on telly which is more horror than mystery. So with the benefit of a cool down period I can now say with some conviction that I witnessed the most jaw droppingly, mind numbingly, balls achingly dire and baffling performance that I have seen for some time. And I've seen a lot of **** performances over the last 45 years. I have absolutely no idea what the manager or players were trying to achieve. I've seen inept, spineless collapses aplenty, but this was just bizarre.
Spot on Stroller If that had been one of the PL's overpaid overseas contingent they would've been rolling around on the ground for an eternity
I can only assume someone above him is, for whatever reason, demanding certain players play. This is nothing like his Burton team which was high energy, good tempo stuff which is why I thought the likes of Luongo and Gladwin would be well suited to him.
I thought that Scannell changed the game when he came on He may look as though he's spent all his time since leaving Palace scoffing pies, but he is quick, tenacious and clearly brought on to exploit our weak left hand side Great free kick from Wells but I was shouting to get someone on the post before he took it. If nothing else there is at least then a defender to tidy up if Green were to fumble the save - having attackers in line with defenders in a wall always gives the attacking side the advantage if the ball were to be spilled by the keeper
The fact that it's got football in the title is clearly wrong as we've hardly put a performance worthy of the name since he's been in the role.
I was a supporter of Ramsey until his selections got so unfathomable that it became impossible to back him any more. Today's line-up was every bit as bad, if not worse, than anything Ramsey sent out. Henry was not the worst player on the pitch, but where was he supposed to be playing - and why?
If you put someone on the post you allow the other team to stand where they want in front of the goalkeeper. It was a decent strike but another **** goal from Green's point of view. How many mistakes does the bloke have to make to get dropped?
I see Steve Gallen was sitting on the bench this afternoon ... please log in to view this image Well apparently he's been given the boot this evening. Another nice touch from the club to get rid of good QPR people. Probably done so they can squeeze Ramsay back in.
I was at the game today...very defensive set up, disappointing. Hill and Hall only players I was pleased with, disappointing. The side we finished with should have been the side we started with...disappointing. Just all looking so bleak really.
I've just realised that the photo is from the Burnley match. Apologies for that. The sentiment remains the same though.
And an 'Arry trick too. Just read the whole thread. Depressing read. Trying to infect myself with Beth's belief that we are going to beat Hull. I think we'll get slaughtered if he puts out a team like today! I am giving JFH until the end of the season in order not to be short termist.
I don't understand this not playing a striker business, Ramsay did it, Warnock did it and now Jimmys at it. I think Polts and JET will score at this level but they've got to play.
