Man of the Match - I want to vote for Paul Heckingbottom

Sort it out.

Thought both full backs had good games in general, Hecky especially.

 

surely thats a piss take

1st item on the shopping list in January - Left back.

 

RE: surely thats a piss take

No, I think most people have just joined the Hecky is crap bandwagon cos he was crap at the start of the season and he is now an easy target. Yesterday he stopped most of their attacks, not that much came in from the left. He was also effective at providing good passes for Reid to run onto.

 

yesterday he almost gifted them 2 goals

coming inside constantly leaving their winger to stroll into the box. Also making hayes have to come back constantly to fill in for him.

Sorry - hes not good enough for the championship.

 

RE: yesterday he almost gifted them 2 goals

Their only goal came from a mistake by Austin.

Hayes was constanly going walkabout leaving no cover.

 

RE: yesterday he almost gifted them 2 goals

1st goal v Leeds - Austin heads the ball up in the air, putting the keeper & Reid under pressure ... instead of just heading it away.
2nd goal v Leeds - Austin loses his marker at the back post, who heads it across for Ehiogu to score
Goal v WBA - Austin stands & watches, while Koumas is handed the freedom of the BFC defence.

Apart from that I think he's been great.

 

RE: yesterday he almost gifted them 2 goals

Where were Hayes and Togwell whilst all this was going on?

 

I'm not sure.

Maybe they were at Darfield Garden Centre purchasing a wide range of pot plants & hanging baskets.

Is this like "Battleships" or summat?
I'll go for B7 (Hayes) and F2 (Togwell).

I give up.
Where were they?

 

RE: yesterday he almost gifted them 2 goals

1st goal v Leeds - Reid and COlgan get completely tangled up!!!

2nd Goal - I though this was about Hecky!

Goal v WBA - No, I'm sure this was about Hecky.

Apart from that I think you're great.

 

RE: yesterday he almost gifted them 2 goals

Not at right full back. What's your point ?

 

Hayes was trying to cover for the non existant neil austin

who had presumably fallen down a large pit near the east stand.

 

RE: I'm not sure.

Both supposedly playing on right of our midfield, both stood up front, watching Austin trying to cope with two men, in a position that at least one, if not both of them should have been. Don't blame Aussie for that goal.

 

Ah - but ...

Colgan & Reid wouldn't have got tangled up if the ball had been headed away from goal by Austin ... not up in the air like a complete spazmodeaconjoeytron.

Who is this Hecky of which you speak?
Does he work at Darfield Garden Centre?

 

I understand now.

We had two right wingers at the same time?
No wonder they struggled.
Were they sharing a pair of shorts?
I bet they kept standing on each others feet.

You are right.
When someone wanders through the vacant right back position - it's generally the fault of the twin right wingers.

At Wednesday they "blame it on the Bougherra".

I like cheesecake.
Do you like cheesecake?

 

RE: I'm not sure.

After the goal I spotted Austin in a central midfield position pulling his socks up acres away from where he should have been. Don't see how it wasn't his fault.

 

He is definetly our weakest link and wba knew that.Problem is no one to replace him need a decent left back in january.

 

Hmmm

I give up.

 

Nah - that can't be right.

Maybe it's Jako's fault?
The socks may have been defective?

"Ref - can you stop play while I pull mi socks up?".

1st goal at Leeds - poor stitching on the shorts
2nd goal at Leeds - loose velcro on arm band
Goal against WBA - faulty sock elastic

 

Don't give up.

I'm sure I can find out if this Hecky bloke works at the Garden Centre.
Leave it with me.

I thought the Koumas finish was brilliant, by the way.

 

RE: Don't give up.

> I thought the Koumas finish was brilliant, by the way.

Is that some sort of Greek painting technique?
