SilentRam Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Down two one and our third sub is Johnny Russell? These are the types of decisions that make me wonder about GR. I badly want him to succeed but if you are chasing an equaliser, then why waste your last sub on a guy who is dire. (Spare me the he has two assists and a goal to his name). It is getting tedious now. He offers nothing and honestly Luke Thomas from the under 23's has way more skill and poise on the ball than Russell.

sunnyhill60 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 The persistence with Weimann is even more baffling. So he runs around a lot, but football isn't athletics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you enlighten me to what that is please in your opinion? Well,the trying is a lot easier than the achieving,by the look of it.For what it's worth (and after games like today,it's not very much), I think that he expects us to work our socks off (all the time),defend well and break with definite intent to score a goal.Judging by our history (and definitely ongoing),Canute had much the easier task.I'm well and truly sick of this gang now.I'm sick of talking about bobbles,of lack of confidence and the need to get the balance right between being relaxed and 'Up for it'.

We need to address this quickly otherwise we will increasingly become exposed once word gets around. GR has dropped a huge testicle in selling/loaning out before getting alternatives in. Very poor "risk analysis" ... Kieftenbeld - failure to sign in the correct place on a transfer document. Whose fault is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodley Ram Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Our selection was too expansive, but are issue is that we have gone from a plethora of midfield options to next to nothing. We needed to change the formation where we sacrificed Weiman for a combative/energetic midfielder. It is the midfield that we were out numbered and out fought. Our signing that never was ( with Rednaps sacking will he ever come now) would have been the ideal person for the job. Unfortunately it is too soon to throw George into the fight but that could be the answer. A midfield of Tom, BJ and George for tough away games and be more expansive at home.

We are notoriously inconsistent, would we have benefited from another 90 mins playing together. Todays result is not down to Tuesday, but the players dont need resting at this stage. Todays result was about our fragility throughout, on and off the pitch. I know you don't agree with @EastHertsRam but he has a point. Just what Tuesday achieved I struggle with. Giving players a run out when they wont be used much in the near future.. Hmm. Momentum is an issue, same 11 or not. We had an opportunity to build on Hull and create a feel good factor. Rowett decided that was not important. I dont agree but he is the manager and not me. But he is backing himself into a corner every time. GR is making some basic errors and that is fine if he is learning from them but he does not seem to. I worry about his ability to change things when a system is struggling in a game. Wolves high wing backs, Sheff U etc. I think 99% of us want him to succeed but he needs to up his game. I think its more down to players available to us truth be told atm it really doesnt matter what combination of midfielders we put together like yesturday we'll simply get run off the park, hence why he tried to bring in the birmingham lad. went yesturday and it was simple, we were out manaoevered in all departments, and outclassed i have to say. im fully expecting between now and jan to see a fair few more away days like this. its going to get worse before it gets better im afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 As much as everything went for us v Hull and a defeat was fair result yesterday. A couple of key decisions went against us yesterday. It looked (from 90 yards) away like Baird was fouled for their first goal that got their momentum going and at 2-1 down with 20 to go and us on top Pack should clearly have got a second yellow. Whilst we have flaws that need addressing, it shows how a bit of luck and a ref decision can amplify if not change a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
