IanMarshall's Mullet Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Let's be honest. Many of these players, and I do mean many, are just not good enough do anything in this division. No consistency means not good enough to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flemboy Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Sums up the home form this season. Hope Grimsby win all their games and avoid the drop if only to see Roy do 3 bungie jumps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris15Arm Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Well that was the most blatent case of cant be arsed performance. Clarke was shocking. Cant even kick a ball straight and hes meant to be highly rated? Mccalmont highly rated? Yet when whelan (who was dumped by 2 different clubs) comes off, it showed that whelan is way more influential on the game. 2nd goal garrity was nowhere to be seen after mccalmont committed. Pierrgianni got skinned yes, but thats not somethin that should go against him, its clarke who should have been positioned correctly behind him to halt the run. Fage MotM after 15 mins of game time for me. Thats how half arsed that performance was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayfield Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 No doubt KC will find something constructive to say about the performance, if only that it affirms his appraisal of our deficiencies. The starting eleven looked ok, created chances, didnt capitalise. Credit to Conor for his solitary contribution. Agree with the comments which largely condemned the lack of hunger, focus, energy, fight or whatever you choose, it was lacking today. Also evident that we do miss Calum Whelan and if Pidge doesn't have a great game the back three isnt strong. The bench was weak, we dont have enough to change the game, I sincerely hope the owner does back KC for rebuilding. Give Conor Mac a great offer.

Featured Comment steveecky Posted April 24, 2021 Featured Comment Share Posted April 24, 2021 Summed up the season, capable going forward and culpable defending. Live too far away to watch normally, so Ifollow has allowed me to watch more matches live than the last couple of decades. More frustration than elation with this squad, some of the players are poor all the time, others vary between brilliance and being more use sat in the stand. What I can say is that it feels like a get £10 worth of emotions every game. I suspect that the squad mix will be very different next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not the first very young and inexperienced player that supporters write off and won’t be the last. The thing is that they are in their development stage and where they are now often bears no relation to the career they will have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigDog Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Poor poor effort from so many on the pitch yesterday. And Curle had a poor game too in my opinion. Walker made a couple of decent saves but was to blame for their equaliser. But why was he playing yesterday? Send him back and play Bilboe. Jameson and BorthwickJackson had lazy games - no real urgency in their play. We had three left sided players in the back three which unbalanced us. And Jameson and CBJ swapping sides two or three time during the game... what was that all about? Clarke as wingback? Don’t see that either. Keillor-Dunn looked disinterested and Bahamboula put in his worst performance for us this season. Overall it was a sluggish and sloppy display with too many not up for a contest. Grimsby are a poor side but they simply wanted it more. Our defending for the winning goal was non-existent but it was a great run and strike. Hilssner, Garrity on for Whelan, McAlmont.... Only Piergianni, Whelan, Adams and McAleny put in anywhere near decent performances - not good enough. Thank god the season ends in two weeks.

I know Bilboe has only played about 3 games but does another give him an extension or something? I really struggle to believe he has been so gash in training that Curle thinks playing an injured goalkeeper is the better option And we all know you don’t need to sleep with the owners wife to be exiled around here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayfield Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 1 hour ago, TheBigDog said: they simply wanted it more I appreciate your next day reflections of what went on Big Dog, more balanced than the prose we hammer out on Saturday afternoon. Pride and passion badly lacking from our side, I dont agree that we came second best to a battling side. Think it was Mikey in commentary during the first few minutes who described Grimsby as playing for a least a point, or looking to nick a win with counter attacking play. They didnt put us under sustained pressure, we were hopeless in possession, then let them have a few unchallenged strikes. Fair to criticise KC for subs which weakened the side but the performance warranted dropping at least three at half time. Our subs arent up to it, we know. As for wishing the end of season to come, I know much of it has been dire, but the topics we are left with are WTF is happening with the North Stand? player recruitment/retention, manager falling out with owner .... proper depressing stuff. Also, without a game on Saturday, I have even less justification for not helping with the garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not that baffling, Curle just prefers Walker over him, don't think he has been proven spectacularly wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
