My View - Most Won't Agree!

Firstly I'd like to say Thank you very very VERY much to the Leicester supporter that found my old man's wallet and handed it back into the staff. Was a real good touch in days where identities and possessions are easy to steal. If you read this (you won't!) it is very much appreciated.

Right. We lost tonight. We were always going to lose against the top of the league. Leicester are the best side I've seen at Oakwell this season but by god didn't they know it! A bunch of arrogant sods if ever I saw them, no wonder they have a chirpy set of supporters! It still doesn't excuse our performance and there could be potentially more worrying times ahead. In terms of selection, it was what most wanted. In reailty Mellis and Paddy in the same team is NEVER going to work. Not an ounce of fight in either of them. It has to be one or the other or neither. Paddy isn't the messiah, the quicker some fans realise that the better. That said he is without doubt the most talented player we have and should be used when the moment is right. Tonight was not that moment.

It's probably easier to break it down player by player:

Steele - (sorry hemsy). OUTSTANDING. Made countless saves and interceptions. Was at fault for none of the goals and could have been a lot worse without him.
Hunt - Saw nothing of him. Too scared of the opposition winger to attack and too frightened to jump in defensively. Not great.
Cranie - Missed him Massively
Rambo - We'll miss him now he's out injured
Kennedy - According to some, he's 'not a bad footballer'. You lads are correct. He's a fecking awful one. Stealing a living -10/10
Mellis - Someone on here the other day described him as the Tin Man. Best description ever! Heart like a pea. Apparently he's got talent. I obviously can't see it. He offers nothing either side of the ball and his demeanor is shocking. -10/10
Dawson - Lacking in quality that's there for all to see. BUT he put himself about tonight and actually got stuck in. Ran for the entire midfield as the others couldn't be fussed.
Woods - Who? Oh he played? Really?
Jennings - Could have a diamond on our hands here. Genuine threat going forward and works himself relentlessly helping out the useless Kennedy.
Paddy - Did very little. Still managed to do more than Woods and Mellis combined. Some neat touches but as he doesn't have a fixed position, he leaves us too wide open in midfield.
COG - Toiled. Got nothing. Great attitude and application but he was isolated on his own.

Mvoto - Another in the Kennedy mould. Slower than the Darren Moore was but without the footballing brain. Falling over the ball was just par for the course.
Nyatanga - Rusty. Very rusty. But to be expected.
Proschwitz - Ran a lot. Achieved nothing.

The biggest worry is losing our two centre halves for an elongated period of time. The two replacements are a bit dodgy to say the least.

One final note then you can stop reading. Jim O Brien is out for the season. He might not be everyone's cup of tea but I like his passion and commitment to the cause. Get fit soon Jim and hopefully we'll see you at Oakwell in a red shirt again next year.

 

If it were my wallet or someone's close to me I'd be inclined to join their board in an effrt to let the know how much I appreciated the gesture imo

 

You missed a bit off the end of that.....,in league 1.

 

Jim was the one player we really missed tonight.

 

Agree with that Marlon would be worth the effort. Nice to hear it was handed in.

 

Missed the 5-0 drubbing as well.

 

Bobby's the one player we miss

 

The Ted.... I agree with every word of that.

Can't disagree with any of that.

Injuries to our central defenders could be the nail in the coffin if either out for long. They have been pretty solid, excepting the Huddersfield game since DW came in.

 

Were we watching the same O'Grady? The one I watched tonight was absolute gash.
