Duracell Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 He's not young. He's almost 22. Our will is 18. Well he's 19 and exceptionally mature for his age, but solid point apart from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 once again, people overlook the awful decision by Keogh to go to ground whilst tamely clearing for their equaliser! Forsyth was equally inept, yet Mascarell cannot retrieve a shoulder high ball on the half way line and is somehow to blame!! ******! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 He's not young. He's almost 22. Our will is 18.22 is young for a player meant to hold together the midfield and play in front of the defence.22 is young for any player really.I don't get this whole blame game. There was an utter host of errors right across the defensive structure for a good 30+ minutes. We were just awful. We couldn't clear our lines, the ball kept coming back. We were put under pressure, and it wasn't just any one player, it wasn't even just a couple, it was the most of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 But Hughes is a bit special though. 22 is still pretty young. Like others have said, he's a good footballer but he's either going to do it in southern Europe or find a different role. And yes, its my opinion that his poor decisions and execution under pressure are not because he lacks ability, so surely its just panic where Eustsce knows through experience exactly what hes got to do in those situations. Rest of the midfield were poor 2nd half too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLACML Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 At halftime, I had Mascarell and Christie as my best performers. He was poor in the second half but Hendrick and Bryson were worse. It's difficult to give protection when you have none yourself. Omar wasn't the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peakram Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 He lacks know how for the role due to his inexperience which does tend to cost us goals, he also lacks tenacity in the tackle (Eustace would have crunched their bloke on the half way line and that would have stopped the attack whereas he went in very half heartedly and suddenly they were through on Keogh who didn't close the shot down fast enough). He is a good footballer but unsuited to this particular role in the English game, as you can see by the goals against column when he plays, when heading he jumps into the player, the free kick where they equalised it was a silly push and then again Keogh had chance to clear it getting his foot to the ball but just poked it about a foot in front of him.

I thought Forsyth played quite well against Antonio first half. Buxton was generally poor the whole game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

condor Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Must have watched a different game to some. He did the best he could. Made some excellent tackles. Bryson and Hendrick were nowhere. Hughes is such a brilliant player, he needs to be in every game physically possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncanjwitham Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 22 is young for a player meant to hold together the midfield and play in front of the defence. 22 is young for any player really.

We couldn't clear our lines, the ball kept coming back. We were put under pressure, and it wasn't just any one player, it wasn't even just a couple, it was the most of the team. Thing is though, we were like this for weeks with Mascarell in the team (Norwich, Leeds away, Wigan, Boro etc). Then Eustace comes in and overnight everything's fine, but as soon as Mascarell is back in, it's clueless panic-stations again. He just doesn't do what is required of him in that position, and it affects everyone else around him. Hendrick is like two different players depending on whether he has Eustace or Mascarell behind him. The back 4 goes from calm and organised to a bombscare.

Duracell Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Difficult for Omar as well when you've got Hendrick and Bryson wanting to do nothing but make forward runs. The only time it's ever really worked with those two together is when we've had Thorne who's got the creativity and defensive cover to allow it to happen. Those two turn into a pair of kids when they play together without Eustace, leaving gaps everywhere and giving the ball away like it's a hot potato under little pressure.

Not to say Omar was to blame for the performance today but it's a feature of games he plays that the opposition regularly find themselves in acres of space between our midfield and back 4 and this causes all sorts of problems.

Uptherams Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Omar was not awful. What did he do wrong in the first half? Is he to blame for them scoring from a set piece? Is he to blame because Bent was not played in a position. Just planted somewhere between striker and winger and therefor did not track back which led to their winner. It was Bryson and Hendrick in front of him second half that were the problem in the middle. They were all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Bryson and Hendrick in front of him second half that were the problem in the middle. They were all over the place. It's not about whether he played well or whether he was to blame. It's just that the balance of the side is completely wrong with him there. With Eustace, the midfield looks organised, which ever 2 are ahead of him know their roles, and know that he is sitting offering a simple out ball and covering if we get broken on. Mascarell does none of that - so the 2 midfielders are torn between covering for him, and doing what they are supposed to. And it puts pressure on the back 4, as the opposition regularly get chances to run at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
