Evans' role was to sit and break up attacks but he's not that mobile and certainly not as good as Bielik in taking it forward. I thought Knight was the worst of the three. Don’t blame him hugely, as he was being forced to play far deeper than he should have been. But he wasn’t good at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justa Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Yes the second half was slightly better but it simply had to be. Still very poor, lacking in quality and direction although at least there was some urgency that was woefully lacking in the first half. Never a penalty and all it does is paper over the cracks of a team devoid of confidence and purpose and identity. Apart from that it’s all looking good !

Nuwtfly Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 A penalty saves us from what was arguably our worst performance of the season. Jason Knight was impressive. Marriott busy when he came on. Other than that - really poor and I'm starting to get worried. Knowing how we like to play from January onwards, there's every chance we will be in a relegation battle this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time he gets the ball and runs with it, I am on the edge of my seat but I cannot remember anything ever coming from it - in any game. Birmingham at home, first goal, won the ball, scampered down the wing and crossed for Martin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 No idea what Marriott offers. Meant to be a finisher and a poacher, yet continually misses chances when they fall to him. His all round play isn't good enough to justify how little he's scoring. We need 2 new centre halves in January. It's an absolute must. Fozzy is absolutely criminal on the ball. Tried to give them a second too. Midfield has a complete lack of creativity, Holmes occasionally managed to drive forward, but mainly just aimless passing sideways and backwards.

Another dire performance with no formation and some players looked like they had no clue were they were supposed to be playing,that lands at the feet of the manager surely His team selection tonight stank of desperation and a get out excuse if we had lost the game,then when it looked like the game was about gone we just stuck on two forwards with little instruction,luckily we did get a point from a very soft penalty which saves Cocu some explaining to do Don’t disagree we are poor. just saying that there are underlying factors to why we are playing so poorly. we have a mounting injury list, a squad lacking quality and players not suited to his playing style left by the absolute poo show left by other managers whose reigns only last at most a season. we desperately need some stability at this club. A manager who makes a squad fully his own and can clear out all the players he doesn’t want. sacking Cocu just makes the job even harder for the next one along.

lukedcfc Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 First half we looked like a Sunday league team, second half we looked like a non league team. January can’t come soon enough, we are in serious trouble if we don’t buy or loan anyone of a decent standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say, I don’t blame him as he had very little to work with, but he struggled. Also wasn’t the worst at half time, Evans was, but got a little better whereas Knight vanished for me.

Ruud Aralliss Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hmmm First half v.poor, came out with a bit more purpose. We were there for the taking first half. Will never understand Martin as a lone striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampant Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hamer - fine Bogle - difficult second album Malone - seems to care more than most, excellent clearance in the first half to deny Weds a goal Davies - fine Forsyth - nightmare error but I like him so all will be forgiven Evans - anonymous, devoid of the presence you'd like from a DM Knight - a run of games and a more attacking role would be to his benefit Holmes - meh Lawrence - either play him as a 10 or sell, frustrating again Whittaker - not ready, somehow ahead of others from the u23/u18 squads Martin - good to have him back, should start every time We're not very good are we?
