Alnwick should never have started. We should never line up at home with one up front. Alnwick should have been hauled off at half time. The failure to bring Steele on in the second half simply cannot be down to footballing reasons. Mellis should have departed long before Dawson. 3-1 down and taking off a winger to replace him with a full back? Pathetic keith. If he could get it wrong today, he did.
I'd say Alnwick should have done better with the second... ....but he couldn't have done much with the others. The first took a deflection, and he was completely wrong footed. The third swerved wickedly in the air. Any keeper would have struggled with it. The fourth he was left completely exposed by his defence. Any keeper would have struggled behind that defence. They were absolutely shocking.
Re: I'd say Alnwick should have done better with the second... The first he had time to dive one way, get back up and dive the other before it hit the back of the net. The third any other keeper in the league would have actually dove for it, not our Ben though, he prefers to simply lean to one side until he falls over. Shouldn't have conceded any of the first three in my, and thousands of other peoples, opinion.
Re: I'd say Alnwick should have done better with the second... Not Wiseman apparently In fact he was Man of the match!! Not withstanding the fact that in the past some of the MOM`s have been bloody silly decisions, todays was daft, not that there were many candidates like!
Put a long piece of string from there player, through foster and Ben, and beyond to me, (perfectly straight line) the wasn't no where near the deflection everyone may think.
You really are talking rubbish. He had no time to react to the first, and to say he did is just stupid. As I said, the third swerved in the air.
blaming alnwick for everything is in effect letting the players in front of him off the hook,which is wrong,they are as much to blame as him. i'm glad i ****ed off 5 mins before the end because if i'd have heard wiseman was motm i'd have had ****ing heart failure.
I don't think he's talking rubbish He's very forceful in his opinion as usual, but that's just supertyke, what he's actually saying is spot on for me. With a decent goalkeeper between the sticks we'd have gone in 1-0 up at half time. Really annoying thing is we've got a decent goalkeeper and he was on the bench. That doesn't mean the defence played well, because they didn't. But if your 'keeper lets in every shot that's on target then you've absolutely no chance. Alnwick was rubbish today and it's not the first time he's let us down.
Its all about opinion but.... ... I don't agree that Steele would have stopped 2 of them. And when your keeper is left as exposed as he was, then he's on a loser. He could have done better with the second, but for the rest, I wouldn't blame him.
He should have saved the 3rd and maybe the 1st, he could have held the ball for the second (being a bit picky). He looked very shaky today. First bad game like and the back 4 didn't help, they were all poor.
Could have thrown his hat on 1st goal, third goal was very stoppable, second i,ll give him benefit of doubt fourth good finnish
You cant say that you have to prove Wiseman was at fault for the goals, if you dont you have to shut up, because some comedian gave Wiseman the MOM !!!!
Re: I don't think he's talking rubbish alnwick should have saved all 3 and i had a good view the 3rd a good goalkeeper would have caught it in his cap,he,s definetly a liability and if he keeps his place for the next game it,s deffo more than football reasons why steele isn,t playing.
he defence and their complete incapablity to actually defend cost us the game today. Wiseman is NOT a defender but gets played because he's Hills love child. Foster is decent, but only with a commanding centre half next to him which is what we are in dire need of and have been since well before the season started. The final third is also a worry, Harewood is ineffective as a lone striker, he needs support. Our tempo clearly needs upping as we are way too slow messing about with the ball.
Tbf and its not a critism but i don't think hill knows how best to play harewood,or hasn't got the means to play to his game imo
Disgraceful that he's playing while Steele's on the bench. He was at fault for the first 2 and possibly the 3rd for me. Apparently he's in the team ahead of Steele for his distribution, which was awful all game.
To be fair up until today I think Alnwick has justified is place as first choice and Steele had to sit and wait his chance and after today he should get his chance, I'm really not having a go at Alnwick all keepers make mistakes but hill should go with Steele next,
