kingsy1884 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Seems to be a troublesome position. I have been wholly unconvinced by Olsson recently and Baird whilst he has been steady done very little. He was mauled today by the one dimensional Barrow. Wisdom has done nothing wrong this season imo so i will be glad for him to return. Forsyth has struggled for fitness and form but i personally think he is better than Olssen. I feel he could have prevented Dallas cross vs leeds and stopped bodvarsson today. GR needs to sort it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Wisdom straight back in, should never have been dropped. Other side is more problematic- choosing beteeen Olsson and Forsyth is like choosing between whether you want to catch chlamydia or gonorrhoea, you don’t want either of them...

I refer you to our defensive record with Forsyth in the team. If that’s gonorrhoea I’ll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olsson is a good footballer but can’t defend. Forsyth is an all right defender who can’t play football. Both are midtable left backs at best in my opinion.

We once had a good defensive run with Cyrus Christie in the team, doesn’t make him any less ****, it’s about the team. Forsyth gets my vote next week but it’s by default cause olsson was so poor today. Why oh why did we loan out max lowe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tibbs Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Wisdom was dropped because he’d been underperforming, just like Thorne and Lawrence who have spent matches on the bench recently because of the same thing. Lawrence has improved after that so hopefully Wisdom will too. He’ll get his chance now and he needs to show why we’ve spent all that money on him because he’s looking like another waste of Mel’s millions thus far. Half the player we had in 13/14.

Coincidence or not, and frustrating as Forsyth maybe, he is better than Olsson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be under all sorts of pressure, can see another game of hoofing it from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukedcfc Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Wont put no blame on Baird today, not many full backs would deal with barrows pace. However left back is troublesome and we have got Fredericks and sessegnon to come on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramcoteRam84 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Wisdom and Fozzy all day long! Neither should have been dropped! It’s cost us badly!!! Full backs have to be able to defend first and foremost! Olsson has proved time and time again he can’t defend! Rowett deserves stick for this. He didn’t need to make the changes!

Doodle Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I’m sorry but anyone who watched us v shef wed and argues Forsyth shouldn’t be dropped is delusional. However when Olsen is in the form he was today and v Leeds, he can’t be selected either. Wisdom will play next week and I’m happy about that. Perhaps Anya on the other? Fulham have pace, Forsyth doesn’t, Olsen does but can’t tackle. Anya has the pace not sure about the discipline to play full back. I’m sure when our next set of accounts come out, the reason we didn’t strengthen here in Jan must be FFP. The Chickens are coming home to roost after 3 years of reckless spending and managerial merry go rounds. It’s such a pity it may derail our season, which promised so much a mere 6 weeks ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note it's sad how poor Fozzy has become offensively. I remember a couple of season ago where he looked about the best LB in the league in both attack and defence, with only George Friend looking marginally better. I wonder where that attacking prowess went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Looked to me like Olsson had been told today not to stand off his man as he threw himself into a few generally hopeless tackles. If he'd connected with a couple baird might not have been the only red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel is either being sensible or lacking ambition, depending on your point of view. He has made big mistakes and wasted lots of HIS money. But he’s learned and I suspect he’s being sensible, avoiding embargoes and keeping his powder dry for another tilt at promotion next season when the new 3 year cycle starts again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder where that attacking prowess went. To be honest I think Forsyth was made to look better than he was by the players around him at that time. He never looked like a natural footballer to me, but with the confidence about the place I think it sort of gave him the adrenaline to get him through. He’s reverted to form now, a decent physical defender but with no ability on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
