If he was the nicest guy ever and we were performing like this everyone would still want him gone. Also if he was on video practicing volleying cats over the main stand and telling old ladies to fuck off before each game but we were in the playoff places nobody would want him gone Results is ALL that has ever mattered I can guarantee if he was volleying cats (or any animal) he could win the Champions League and I’d want him publicly eviscerated and hung from the floodlight pylons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kowenicki Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 2nd half saved his job. If we’d lost tonight the sections of the crowd would have been after him. Half time was quite a brutal reaction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half time was quite a brutal reaction. Accidently dropping on the Rooney- Gardner combination which provided more attacking intent may well have saved his job. I just wonder if Shelton will be brought straight back if he's fit for the next game and we will revert back to the first half performance?

ceskylatic Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Tollit has been poor for a while. If all fit I’d consider a midfield 3 of Sheron (nailed on), Shelton and Gardner, with Rooney either on the left again or behind Nuttall and Reid.

Play him right back in most games, centre mid with Sheron if Gardner doesn't suit / isn't 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have put Chapman on, even Timmy wide and brought Rooney in. Instead he put on a lad whose barely played. Lets give him credit. From his interview post match it seems he's had Rooney and Gardner training hard and having to work to get into the side. From what I hear that isn't what Rooney did at his last club. Good signs that he's able to get players showing a good attitude to things. Perhaps why those who have been bombed out have been bombed out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pace of thought. He doesn't need to check the balls still there before he passes it as he can play. I am worried he'll be out injured again very soon and we are back to square one. Hopefully he's come back 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true. But he is our most forward thinking player. Pointless having Sheron and Shelton together, to similar and just pass sideways.

This. People missing the fact Gardner gave the ball away quite a bit last night for some inexplicable reason. one was s suicidal pass that we were lucky wasn’t converted by Dag. Ironically, the best goal of the evening came from an awful attempted cross from Gardner that was easily cleared. Luckily it fell straight to Sheron.

Chapman and Shelton have no drive, hence the previous pedestrian midfield performances. At least when Gardner is fit he shows zest and ups the tempo. He makes mistakes, but we have previously had players frightened of making mistakes - leaving us with a negative team. Gardner and Rooney changed that last night for the better. I get you don't like Gardner and relish posting his faults, but praise for changing the game last night should be acknowledged.
