Worth noting before you lay into them

Something I've noticed is that the 4 players who seem to be getting the most abuse on here are Winnall, Hourihane, Hammill & Brownhill.

I'm pretty certain that since the start of December Winnall has only missed 2 games, Hourihane has started every single one, Hammill has started every single one apart from the 3 he missed through suspension & Brownhill has started all but one.

During that time we've played Saturday - Tuesday most weeks & have played a high tempo 4-4-2 that takes it out of your players a lot more than normal. We've also played more games than every team in our league during that period.

There's been no easy games, I can't remember any games where we've been cruising & been able to take players off early or play at a low tempo.

I just think it's very harsh to slate any of them 4 considering how great they've been for 5 months.

Worth noting that the lads most of you are praising Scowen, Roberts, Williams & Fletcher have played nowhere near as many games & are still fresh.

There's no lack of effort just several players who are pretty much spent & we don't have the quality on the bench to change things so for me it's just a big call to get behind them rather than criticising them.

 

You're not wrong...Hourihane has played 50 , Winnall 53 , it's a lot of football in what's been a long hard season.

 

You are wasting you're time with some of the bell ends one here,it's been a monumental effort to get to even this point this season and a lot of our squad our running on empty and wether we make it or not it's been a great season so stop ******* bairning and get behind 'em, sithi.

 

spot on, its been a great campaign what ever happens on Sunday

Our high tempo approach is good to watch but requires strength in depth and we don't have enough of that

All 4 need a rest but needs must at the moment, lets hope they can hang on for another 4 games

I think Brownhill has been as crucial to our turnaround as anyone, and I can't quite work out why he's got the abuse he has. Like another Ray McHale. I thought he did OK yesterday and does a job in every game. As disappointing as yesterday's result was, and a few individual performances were below par, we've had a group of 14 or 15 who've all contributed to a footballing miracle. And still a chance to complete the job.

Some folk love a scapegoat.

 

I genuinely don't know how some people operate in every day life when they react to such extremes to the slightest issue

 

We are one result away from a guaranteed play off finish.

End of November we were bottom.

 

I really haven't got a bad word to say about a single one of our players. They give their all every week and the majority of the time they do it in a manner that makes us solid in defence and skilful in attack. They try their best and more often than not that's enough to get a good result. I can't fault them.

 

This with big saggy ballacks on, sithi.

 

Same here. I'm glad that every response on this post has been positive because I was beginning to worry at how many have been tearing into Winnall, Hourihane, Hammill & Brownhill. Think it's completely unfair & none of them can be accused of not giving their all

 

Spot on mate

All of them work their socks off - in contrast to Fletcher who most of the time looks like he's out for a sunday stroll. Not saying that he isn't effective like, just that he appears not to be breaking sweat.

 

Re: Spot on mate

There's not a single one of them that deserve anything but praise. their form in 2016 has been monumental.

 

Re: Spot on mate

Am wi thi on that, Toney is same.

 

The club's transfer policy is to blame for some players playing too many games. We have a first eleven and nowt else.

 

Bit harsh..the same transfer policy has seen us go from bottom to the play offs...just a shame that Watkins White and Williams are all out.

 

Totally agree.
Since Christmas Day, we've played 23 league games. Of those, we've won 15, drawn 5 and lost 3. On top of that, we've kept a total of 13 clean sheets. We're going into the final league game of the season in the last Play Off place and a month ago, we won our first ever Cup Final at Wembley in front of nearly 60,000.
*Those players of ours are nothing but a bunch of whining, under performing, talentless, idle, complaining, immature, wastrels(!)
