Watford 3 Birmingham 0...some bounce?

Watford 3 Birmingham 0...some bounce?

It's well know that a bed was put in for Sibley, Rooney sent Sibley away to sleep on it.

I don’t think either of us will be in trouble come the end of the season to be fair. 

My what a day that was, Fun and games in the car park with the Mile End Boys ?

I’d rather enjoy his goal tonight than slag the manager off tbh.

Do they?, Just because they played the game doesn't make them more knowledgable than you or I, They had the where withall to get to this stage, They'll have agents working for them, Their names can tick boxes, There's plenty of posters on here that have talked a good game, With setting how they would set their team out, Who they'd have taken off, Who'd they have put on, Jiggle with the formation.
Don't be clouded by their history of very good players, There's plenty of players that have become Managers once their carreers had finished, And quite a few that had bitten off more than they could chew.

Who decides whether WR is right or wrong, If Sibley plays against Brentford and scores a hatrick and we win 3-0 most on here would say Wow it looks like Sibley has taken what WR has said onboard.
If Sibley starts tomorrow and has a mare and is taken off after 60mins, Posters on here would say...Jeez he wasn't given the chance to shine.
 

Yeah, nice story.
I played in a game which we lost 9-1 but our goalkeeper was easily man of the match and kept the score down considerably.
I was also in a 15 minute 5-a-side game, different goalie. At half time, we were losing 6-0 so we decided to try and slow the pace down. Straight from the kick-off, our player rolled the ball back to our goalkeeper. It went over his outstretched arms and into the net. 7-0. It ended 12-0.
Hey, you don't think it's me and the other outfield players, do you?

Towards the end of my playing career I played in goals for 2-3 seasons, Got to a final at the Municipal Bowl...lost 4-1 but got the headlines in the "Green Un" Scored a goal from a goal punt from my hands in Belgium, The wind was in my favour, Lost 13-0 on Markeaton park and held my hands up for the 10th and 13th goal in the changing room, Caught a cross on the Racecourse on a bitterly cold December Morning the ground was frozen solid but the ref wanted his fee so passed the pitch playable, After catching the ball I bounced it, It came up hit my chin and rolled into the net ? howls of laughter could be heard from the sidelines, Made some world class saves and made some huge gaffs.
Yes they say you have to be a little crazy to be a keeper ?

I've rarely played in a football team.
The office where I worked forced me to play in goal once.
We were losing 2-1 at half time.
3-1 straight from the kick off second half.
We changed tactics to a 0-0-10 and let in 3 more quick goals (not surprising with only me in our half).
I refused to carry on until I had at least one defender in support.
After that the game ended in a 6-1 defeat.
I wasn't invited to play again!
I have the utmost respect for goalkeepers.

Yeah he could go to another team where he also wouldn't get into the first team based on his performances, then repeat.
Alternatively he could follow the footsteps of several promising youngsters like Sterling and Foden for example, who also struggled to get a regular starting place in the lineup. They listened to the advice (criticism in some eyes) given to them, took it on board and have become players who now consistently live up to their potential. Not doing it once every 10-15 games.

Sibley is seen all week every week by the manager. Do any of us on here have more information as to when, if and why he should play? Also do any of us know Sibleys personality well enough to know how he best responds? If not on what basis are the assumptions made? 

Not only do you need your most creative players on the pitch, You also need someone to score those opportunities that those creative players create.
Both PC and WR have played Sibley...our goals for record is a paltry 25 in 35 games, A manager sees players in training, Sibley according to WR isn't doing enough to get in the starting 11, Should he pick him because he's a fans favourite, Or pick him and HOPE he can create those chances for our goal shy forwards to miss.
How many goals have we scored from open play...Rowett said 9, That's a shocking stat, We're putting to much pressure on a young man shoulders in the position we're in.
 

My my my we are pampered aren't we.
PS I aint your mate...mate.
 
 

WR Englands highest goal scorer, Played with and against some of the worlds greats, Played for probably the greatest PL manager in history...how frustrating it must be for him to see a young talent in Sibley unable to fullfill a talent that WR and Co see in training every day.
He must coach him, Talk to him, Show him, Sibley either takes all this on board or he'll end up being just a footballer instead of a good footballer.
Some folk really do get upset.

I have no idea what effort Sibley is putting in to improve and impress in training but Wayne and the coaches do. They have constantly said you need to put the work in on the training pitch to get into the team. 
He is also suffering from the same thing that Max Bird is in that they are now a known quantity and teams are not going to give them the same space and time to work in. It happens to a lot of players in the season after they break through they now need to vary their game more to get the opposition guessing what they will do. 
Young Louise Watson is benefiting from being a new name and is getting the space no longer afforded to Sibley. 

The only thing stopping relegation right now is that three other teams are just as bad and in a worse position.

I tend to see it as 4 in one week, Sat, tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.  

Did you post this from the West Stand...Love a duck, Another that doesn't understand football.

He didn't literally drop any clangers last night so if you compare against that metric then yes he did ok 

He's an athlete, tall, strong, good shot stopper, good with the ball at his feet, maybe he's one of those goalkeepers who improves with age.
If he improves his ability to come and claim the ball, confident to know when to catch and when to punch, he'll be a top keeper.
If he had learnt that a bit sooner we'd be in the Prem. (still can't forgive him for Villa's second goal at Wembley)
 

It's been a car crash since Keogh went there.
