The equaliser sums up exactly what Ive been saying about Scott Wiseman. Well done to the team for the result but ffs, he's as bad as Ive seen defensively in a Reds shirt in 30 years of watching.
Whats he meant to do . Jim jumped in, and he had to mark two players. Closed one down and the other went free he got the ball and crossed a good ball in.
At defending he is no better than Gibbs and I take absolutely no pleasure in remembering Paul Gibbs!!!
He was damned if he did, and damned if he didn't... He had 2 men to mark. It was either let the player with the ball have a free shot or close him down. There wasn't anyone else available to close down the shot. For me, Foster is more at fault because he stops running in. If he'd have carried on, he'd have blocked the cross. There wasn't much chance of the winger cutting it back to the man Foster stopped to mark, but Blackpool just capitalised on an error (apparently JOB being out of position).
Re: He was damned if he did, and damned if he didn't... Looked like poor decision making from Foster to me, he was in no position to have any effect, and Edwards let Phillips get across the front of him. We need at least 1 new CB in the summer.
For me, Wiseman is a good player But a shocking defender, costs us far too many goals. Gets forward really well though, would like to see him on the wing tbh.
Re: He was damned if he did, and damned if he didn't... He jumped in in the middle of the pitch. Also Jim new he had made a mistake by his reaction.
Re: He was damned if he did, and damned if he didn't... Foster steps back to mark the man on the penalty spot. A bit like the Wiseman situation, he would have been at fault had he cut it back. I wouldn't really class Foster or Wiseman at fault, as what they both did prevented what would have been a clear goalscoring opportunity. But that sounds daft when they scored anyway. Just one man being out of position gave them 3 options to score. That's why Blackpool are occupying a play off spot, though. One slight mistake from one player and they capitalised on it.
Anyone else think the referee got the red card right Southern is off his feet, two footed challenge, red card. Ian Holloway thinks Foster should be sent off too? Foster doesn't leave his feet, he stands his ground with a solid challenge, dont think there's any malice from Foster, call me a biased, horrible, vile, lanky man from the Barnsley area if you disagree with me.
Re: He was damned if he did, and damned if he didn't... Foster should have been covering the space in front of Phillips, the man on the penalty spot has somebody with him, Foster is caught in no mans land.
