Love how our Twitter framed it as "scores from 30 yards", conveniently forgetting to include the bit where Sami kicked it on the floor straight to their player who had an open goal to aim at.
distribution poor, doesn't command his area but a decent shot stopper in his day....... he's a stendel signing and can't see him being here beyind this season I thought it was a strange signing at the time after we'd got collins
He is six foot and a yard and he cannot command his area whatsoever. Sticks to line like **** to a blanket. Dinky passes to defenders with men on them. Does not long ball to try and catch opposition out. He is in bed with Struber and as I said last week he will not drop him
I would drop him now for the same reason I would have dropped Collins we cant afford to give away early goals like that.
He has to finally be dropped for Swansea. We cannot keep letting him be at fault for a goal in every game. He cannot kick properly, doesn't command his area and can be easily lobbed for a guy of his height. It is a struggle to name his strengths.
His kick was more of a management issue. It wasn’t a mis-kick, it was to play someone in. Most would have just put their foot through it. Playing the way we do from the back, this is always the issue. The rest of the game today he was top class. We can’t afford to change a settled back 5 when it’s improving. He might be part of the reason it’s improving, regardless of the error.
21 players made a mistake today and everyone highlights one. What about the amazing save to keep the score at 1-0 when Williams gave a short back pass? Get behind the lad, he’s a good player! Only player that didn’t balls up was their keeper. But a keeper fluff is always highlighted! If it wasn’t punished we wouldn’t be in championship.
Agree with you, and not with the majority of others who seem to be looking for someone to pop off at. He made an error which cost a goal. He's a 'keeper and that's usually the case. I felt he was great otherwise today.
Problem with that is that it is self evident that it was a goal scoring opportunity and would probably been a red not a yellow. Playing with 10 men for 85 minutes against league leaders would have almost certainly resulted in a heavy defeat
Given it is Barnsley at Oakwell against a 'big' club, I am sure the referee would have viewed it differently. At the opposite end of the scale he seemed to think swinging a head high boot on the end of a WBA leg is not dangerous play!
What pissed me off even more is when he dribbled round Austin in the second half. The score was 0-1 thanks to him. And he's doing that. I'd play Collins.
I didn't think the ref got many decisions wrong, but not awarding a free kick for that was bizarre. However, he failed to address the time wasting and **** housing of the WBA players and therefore looked weak when his decision making was usually quite good.
