Short corners. Ugbo playing. Davies/Potts goalkick combo. McCarthy not getting a kick despite good form. No movement on throw ins. Poor execution of throw ins. Potts playing through bad form. Strikers who cant hold the ball up. Poor set piece delivery. No competition for Davies. Opposition players being allowed free long range shots at goal. Isgrove being injury prone.
Things I'm sick of ....... People - that's fans - not understanding what players are needed before the season starts in the championship - and then the same fans foooking complaining about the players we do have when we hit a bump in the road.
Agree with all of that, especially the throw ins bit. It might sound stupid to say it but I can't remember a time when we were ever any good at throw ins. Other teams seem to grab the ball and throw it to a man without much trouble. We take so long over what to do with it that it invariably goes to opposition player. Even the Roberts long throws were mostly to a defender, so pointless.
1) Hecky thinking the boy in the man's world Ugbo is a better option up front than our international top scorer. 2) Hecky thinking Gardner did enough as sub against Leeds to warrant a start tonight.
I'm sick of Bradshaw playing lone striker. Being easy to score against. No experience in the team. Hammill not scoring in the top corner anymore. Cavare, mallan not being committed enough to warrant a place on the bench. No takeover. Roberts and scowen playing for other teams. Thinking we were getting a team that could compete the realizing we haven't.
When we signed scowern Conor mawson watkins Roberts ect Wilson and lee Jay got credit now hecky takes no responsibility for these signings and it's all the plan.... ok
The manager has final say he should take the credit or the blame if he agrees to working under the plan.
I forgot about Isgrove actually! I've always said Bradshaw can't win a header or hold the ball up. McCarthy should be starting 100%... Yiadom just walked back into the team without really fighting for his spot.. he looks like he's not bothered.
Out of order. Whatever happens....the guy is terminally ill. It's only a game of football after all....
To be fair to PH there has to be some consistency when it comes to criticism re youngsters as other youth players that have made the step up to first team level include Barnes, Williams, Kent, Pearson, Fletcher amongst countless others who have all played ahead of more “seasoned pros”. If Ugbo’s not ready or that we just don’t suit his game then that’s fine but it’s not down to his age as we’ve had younger players wear the shirt before him and we’ll have younger players wear the shirt after him.
Johnson made ONE signing of his own. That ******* ***** striker from Swindon DW was allowed more freedom. The approach has been refined and because it’s worked once there’s an expectation it’ll work again. Maybe it will, maybe it won’t. Personally I’m glad it’s nearly Christmas as you don’t sack a man with a family at Christmas do you...
