Our clowns have employed a poor juggler, and put him between the posts. I understand with 10 men we are going to be under more pressure, but De La Paz seemed to only be able to save a shot if it was straight at him. He is too inconsistent to be a professional goalkeeper, but we are stuck with him to end of the season. We let him go last season then someone changed their mind. Hopefully we will not make the same mistake next year. Hopefully, this regime won't be here next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you may now be focussing on the root cause of the problem. Always called it as it is with with any regime. but this is by far the worst. Some of the players signed are incomprehensible, a good scout would never have recommended them, but a bad agent would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that Most pro clubs won’t even consider a keeper at that size .....there are exceptions but I can’t actually name any sub 6 foot pro keepers....possibly Flinders but beyond that?

Arguably our best 3 plays are McCann Wheater and Rowe......the problem then is that they are probably our 3 slowest over the ground too.

the_mighty_bosh Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 No big report. Gutted. Pretty even first half, we might've even edged it. Then the sending off happened and the 2nd half was a horror show, they were ruthless. Good: Smith McCann Piergianni OK: Wheater - Good before red card, which was an instinctive decision. Killed the game for us though. Sylla Rowe Hamer Mills Bad: CBJ Missilou N'Guessan Dieseruwve Ugly: Zeus Branger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
