kellys_discopants Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 best performance for a long time, did not deserve to be on the losing team. The first goal was down to him! Made 3 cock-ups to clear before lumping it unconvincingly for a throw-in. He was average tbh, second half let alot of balls bounce (first rule of defending!), however he was probably not 100% and you could see near the end he was feeling his knock he was carrying.

Guest sheridans_world Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Dont agree with that. He was shown to be slow and off the pace today. He made some good moves but he stumbled over his own feet a few times.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`m on about him making a hash of 3 attempts to clear the ball, and then just lumping it out for a throw in which they then scored from!

Allowing a player to turn him is a school boy error he shouldnt be making Gregan at fault for the 1st (but to be fair it was a defence error) Eardley WTF for the second Neal borrow Windass's bike a cycle somewhere please !!!!!!!!!

kellys_discopants Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Eardley WTF for the second Eardley wasnt blameless, however the keeper takes responsibility there imo. He can see the whole picture whereas Eardley had his back to the opposing player etc, Supple said nothing but rushed out and got nowhere near the ball, if your going to come you commit and take everyone out and get the ball.

rictic Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 he also bailed out everyones favourite centre back in the first half aswell Maybe we should have a light bulb fitted on top of Hazell's head and then it would be easier to see how often he switches off. It would be like watching a lighthouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosa Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 i will have to take you word for that i cant recall, will watch LW he also bailed out everyones favourite centre back in the first half aswell He had to bail out Hazell several times, i'm as big a fan of hazell as anyone but he's been crap since he signed a new contract. Thought Gregan had a great game again today but you can't expect one player to carry the back four for 90 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slurms mckenzie Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 best performance for a long time, did not deserve to be on the losing team. Hmmm... Have to disagree, thought both himself and Hazell were poor today. The only one of the back 4 to emerge with any credit was Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hometownclub Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 WTF, Gregan was clearly at fault for both goals. Although yet again Joe on LW thought he had another good game, what is he on? Must be strong stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delfer Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) Thought Gregan was 7 out of 10 yesterday, still much better than Hazell. He's been 9 mostly recently, immense on occasions, a proper captain. Joe sees that too. More importantly he now makes a point of clapping the RRE after home games, yersterday saw a good response from the crowd as they knew that the lads, and particularly Greegs, had put a good shift in.

leeslover Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I`m on about him making a hash of 3 attempts to clear the ball, and then just lumping it out for a throw in which they then scored from! So he did clear the ball then, and put it out for a throw in? You make it sound as if he had failed to put it out and given it to their player on a plate. You can rewind a goal back as far as you want if you are determined to place the blame on someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmer1 Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 well ive watched LW and how he can be blamed for either goal is beyond me, he clears the danger first time around (dont care how many times it took him, he got it away) and his teammates didnt react to the 2nd phase of play. MOM all the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boundaryblue80 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) The first goal was down to him! Made 3 cock-ups to clear before lumping it unconvincingly for a throw-in. He was average tbh, second half let alot of balls bounce (first rule of defending!), however he was probably not 100% and you could see near the end he was feeling his knock he was carrying. It's amazing how split the fans are over his performance yesterday...for me, I couldn't agree more with the above comments!!! And it's concluded a few thoughts for me in my mind... While talking about Player of the season, I've had Gregan suggested to me and I personally have felt Hazell possibly. Yet if we look at it, Posh had about 4 or 5 clear headers in our box yesterday. We also let in 2 goals ( identical ones from this season elsewhere) and I really do wonder if we're being blinded about our defence. Really...it's utter :censored: at times and maybe we need to stick a line through most names... Eardley - struggled this season without the RW situation being sorted all season, had no protection from it when we've been stuck under pressure...not Neals fault that, but he's also had a bad season by the silly mistakes he's done too Gregan - not as commanding as people really believe...and will only go the Liddell way next season Jones - never is and never ever has been a LB...only good in a chasing back, last ditch tackle...he's a LW Stam - do like Stam, but can have lapses. Would still keep him as back up. Hazell - Think we'dve been :censored:ed this season without him and is the only 1 true contender to be in my back line choice next season We can't praise our defence as high as we have been doing when you look at the endless list of goals and games we've gifted this season. PS Would like to echo that comment about Hazell post-contract signing...said that several times last night. A shadow of the player he's been since that Yeovil away game. But not for half a season, like some Gregan-lover has suggested above. Edited April 5, 2009 by boundaryblue80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daznathe Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 yet more people taking off the blinkers. love it. just worried about the manager now, maybe hes just keeping him going, like he tried with the lee hughes 'bright as a button' comment.

Lochheads Bald Head Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Hazell was off the pace on Saturday, thought at times he was in a daze. Gregan, in my opinion, MOM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticNik Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Agree, Gregan was head and shoulders above any other defender on the pitch. But if you believe the consenus on here we don't need him next season. Wish I was watching the same Latics team as others. E4e BOLOX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
