well couldn't exactly pick anybody else could he. Would rather see fontaine over nyatanga and james Wilson, That's how **** the defence is.
Don't get so negative so soon and realise that SOD has a serious problem on his hands. Away at Leeds was always going to be a tough shout but we didn't get thrashed. We have 2 games at home next and we need to get six points and even then we can't get out of the bottom three. A massive task lies ahead of us and we need to respect that SOD can sort out the problems and remember this was his first look under playing conditions. He surely will have seen where the squad needs to be enhanced and let's hope he will be given the funds to boost our chances. Keep the faith and if you want to moan then please wait for another slate of games. My opinion is that unless we get 4 points from the next 2 games then, and only then, will I start to think that we are going down.
He was beaten to a header by McCormack I don't know how tall McCormack is but I do know Foster is a short arse so can't pick fault with him for that. I do think sometimes people get the wrong impression of Foster, from the Dolman he does not seem as bad as what others see in him, but that's just my opinion of him
Foster was going backwards and McCormack forwards. Have you ever tried to jump whilst going backwards? You cant as you get no spring from your heels, unlike your toes. It was a well taken goal. It sounded like we were well organised today and almost came away with a 0-0, which would have been brilliant. Kilkenny is a good player, who lost heart in 2012. Hopefully he can become the creative midfielder we crave. Any idea why we started with Taylor and not Stead? Taylor hasnt been banging in the goals. I would have preferred to have seen Stead or even Davies up front from the start.
No idea why Taylor started apart from if SoD watched last Saturday's game Stead was awfull. As much as I hate Kilkenny and have made no problem in letting people know. He was talking very confident with his ability to a SoD sort of game.
Both players are 5ft 9 rod. From what I see of foster in the EE, He isn't very good. Me and the few in the corner of the dolman see him up really close. He's shocking gets beat very regularly and for someone with pace he always, always seems the slower out of the him and his attacker. Can be good on his day but not consistent enough.
OH how sad that people have to come up with comments like wont and cant etc with players like ...so and ..so in the team....
I posted on another thread that I could not lisen to radio today as phone line down due to storms. Is there anyone who was at the game - BrightRedRickster who lives in Leeds for instance - who can give us a reasoned opinion on the teams performance, who stood out if any and did any of the really bad underperformers from the last 5 months, play better than they have for all of this time? I know we all have favourites but let's have some unbiased factual info so those of us who were not at Elland road or listening to radio can make some sense of how we did today.
Taylor is the best hold up man we have, rarely loses posssion and is strong on the ball. That said, I think he will start banging in the goals on a regular basis once we play him facing the right way and start putting decent crosses in the box from the wings for him to get on the end of as he will win his share in the air...
