  1. Dire dire game... little quality on display go in front early from a good hit from Danny P and then..... more :censored:e defending from a poor corner. Thats 3 goals from the same poor defending at the near post we even had a chance to clear and didnt. woeful we dont deserve to win if we cant clear our lines. Conditions didnt help anyone. Harkins looked like he might come up with something but other than that little to cheer. Worrall needs to stay on his wing 2nd half we just didnt have a outlet with Connor Browns reluctance to run beyond the man in possesion. Mellor poor when he came on runs like he had lead in his boots - time to let him go.. He hasnt got it Stead no service but looked slow and unfit and El Abo was it? handled him fairly easily Other than a few outside of the boxes sighters neither side created anything too clear cut draw fair result ref OK
  2. great win that fantastic. Just what we needed after a week of frustration and over reaction. For the new defnders to come in and keep a clean sheet is great. lets get some wins at home now and see where we finish if we keep taking 6 from 9 from decent sides mid table upwards is on the cards fingers crossed for a win over bristol
  3. what's the point of trying to build something not viable?? I do agree that the player merry go round is a joke but im not sure what we can do we get poor attendance's try and put a squad together and over the course of a season the wheels seem to come off and we slip down the division... then I think whoever is in charge gets panicky and we try wheeling and dealing our way of a relegation scrap. as for the prem lost interest years ago... the greedy league is an apt name for it
  4. Yeah the lighting and cloud cover was weird 2nd half. Wish I could have taken some photos
  5. what a bunch of soft arses - its rained fairly heavy over night and a bit this morning but no danger of game being off unless it does that from now till kick off
  6. thats the problem with most of our kids, be it millar, winchester or brown they have talent but not the consistency. CB is the most likely to make it to a regular first team spot but its touch and go at times. Im not a fan of his hes a liability with the ball but of late he seems to be growing a bit in confidence and not panicking as much he did very very well when he came but he needs to do this week in week out
  7. in faireness you werent alone i though the defending was dire first half and there wasnt enough energy and effort in general I kinda feel posh came out with attitude job done but we went straight at them Harkins was immense and they fell apart ive never left a game early never will just on the off chance something like this happens i said at HT we need sheff united comeback - (when kuqi scored the last min pen) what we got was better
  8. harkins was just a joy to watch i wasnt sure how we would get him in the team maye wide midfield is how. not pace but ability to put players on thier backsides and find a blue shirt he was on another footballing planet today
  9. fist half i wasnt sure what was going on we just werent at it I actually think Boros attitute was its game over dont need to doing anything 2nd half we upped our game and they fell to bits unreal game cant belive ive seen anything like that
  10. who ever it is it needs to be someone who fits in with the way the team player - by all accounts Rooney thrived of crosses into the box as a team we don't get the ball out wide fast enough and don't have the wingers to get quality balls into the box so he was never going to get the service he needed/wanted and the rest of his game. Touch, heading (never seen a player go up for a header leaning backwards not moving his feet so much as AR) was poor. So we either need a target man who can bring others into play to allow other players to join the attack so we attack in numbers Or if we have some like Harkin who can spot a pass and play a great through ball then someone like Derbyshire who has a bit of speed and can finish 1 on 1
  11. Which is one thing LJ said he wouldn't do play sqauare pegs in round holes DP is a striker and he's scored a few goals this season but now hes being played out wide. His attributes don't suggest he is a winger so why play him there - frustrating I still think Johnson is trying to do the right things but we do seem to be chopping and changing too much and I am not sure what Harkins will bring to the table - ability on the ball but I don't think hes a goal scorer and playing him behind the striker leaves us short up top as we don't have a dominant target man or the pace to support them if we win the ball in the opposition half
  12. Strange game with a bit more luck they might have won it. Was PM cross/shot over the line? First half they were getting down the flanks well but they didnt have the quality of delivery to really trouble us. PM did everything right but too often his final ball was lacking so he hasnt imrpoved any. 2nd half Mellor really played against him well and the threat was snuffed out. How bad was thier number 24 when he came on??? dire. Even though we were well on top 2nd half we still didnt create many chances Defense were largely OK one the full backs got to grips with the wingers. Did Grounds loose a header or tackle today? Tarky wonderd into a 3 on 1 siuation which was a bit stupid and gave thier guy a free header first half but did the rest of his defensive duties well enough. DP is wasted on the wings. Petrasso looked a threat when we got him in the game but it didnt happen enough JCH as bad a performance as you will see from a forward - shouldnt have lasted as long as he did Harkin some nice touches but often it was one too many - does offfer something different Wes - Outstanding - passing wasnt always geat but a real terrior in the middle and Korey did his usual cover every blade of grass job.
  13. If we could get same volume at home bp would be a ruff place to come rather than a graveyard. how did u think the team did? Must admit thought atmosphere wasn't great untill we caused them a few problems 2nd half. Wes is a steady player shackles have been freed a bit this season and looks a better player for it
  14. Nah play our strongest team. Hes ok Anton bit light weight he can come on to sure up thw midfield if we need it.
  15. Does a good job at right back but hes a center back all day long. May just be the best defender at the club
  16. in faireness rooney has been a dissapointment his all round game just isnt there. He goes for a header and leans backwards. His balance is woeful as well nearly always on his arese. I wouldnt say hes been disastrous he has scored a few goals but he just doesnt look like he should be the teams first choice stiker and in fairness LJ has seen that fairly quickly. Im still not convinced Millar does anything more a little bit more pace perhaps but o so lightweight and offers even less than Rooney in the air. His work rates decent but thats about it.
  17. as the squad gets thinner i reckon we can see some square pegs in round holes If we didnt have JCH back i would almost suggest chucking a center half up front as Rooney doesnt win enough in the air
  18. comes inside too often for me but hes useful and has a little bit of pace which we dont have a lot at
  19. Needs to learn to run at the full back use a trick if he needs one then deliver the ball to often he pulls a step over on the half way line gets in the last 3rd stops or puts in a crap ball pace to burn and bag of tricks but doesnt hurt teams enough also needs to calm down when ball comes to him in the box ive seen him kick fresh air too many times this season that said he is young a pace at this level can be so destructive - time for him yet but hes frustrating at times
  20. god that's tuff id still give it him tho as his effort is better than Brits - do like Barkers volley tho
  21. I defiantly thought they were playing for pens... Wasn't sure we had anyone on the bench to unlock a team so intent on pressing and winning the ball and not really attacking with any real conviction
  22. It was bizarre at time in the 2nd half how we didn't get the ball out to Petrasso quicker we spent to much time passing between centre half's last night and not playing in the opposition half Smith was to deep and no one other than Danny P wanted to turn on the ball - 2nd half we just seemed to loose confidence before the goal we were all over them. Last night was frustrating I have read some comments about them being a good side. They weren't bad but at most they were organised with one flyer who caused us trouble first half. 2nd half they were content to let us have the ball and press us in the midfield.. They didn't cause us any real problems in the 2nd half I heard some people giving Mellor grief I didn't think he did to badly some good passes good cross for the goal but lacks pace for the wing but he did an OK job
  23. shame the atmosphere was so flat and I thought our defence struggled early on against the big lump they had up front. That said they didn't cause us two many problems but Rooney god he's frustrating cant hold the ball up isn't quick constantly on his arse. No wonder he's mainly a sub prior to us because I think that's probably best come on when his team are in front and he might have some space and time at the moment he looks awful. Plummer - not sure why he's in the team awful on the ball and doesn't defend well enough for me. Plays like a stockier conner broner always passes backwards. Didn't feel we got forward fast enough. Rodgers tended to go sideways a lot after taking one too many touches. Would have brough Petrasso on earlier. Sid very poor. Dayton poor but he was injured by looks of it. Still even not playing well we didn't get beat
