Andicis Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Just now, IslandExile said: Thank you @SaintRam as always. I hope the 'Cocu out' brigade read and digested your balanced commentary. However, I fear their minds are made up. How they can think the senior players in this squad are good enough is beyond me. It's clear they cannot do any better - it's they that should go. And Cocu given a chance. To be fair, whilst I'm still leaning Cocu out, today wasn't really on him. Malone is an absolute dipshit, Fozzy is gone, and he was put in a difficult position from the very start. Today wasn't about Cocu's tactics, you can't account for senior players being as brain dead as Malone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 3 minutes ago, Ghost of Clough said: I stand by what I said. How many new signings were in this team tonight? Just Hamer (worse that Roos) and Bielik. A new CB (Clarke) to go alongside Keogh at CB, Bielik, and a new player at RW was all that was needed. Those two CBs are both unavailable, Bielik isn’t fit enough yet and we failed to get a decent RW in. Todays game came down to giving 2 silly penalties away, hitting the woodwork twice and having 2 penalty shouts of our own turned down. As I said not long ago, almost nothing between us winning 3-0 instead of losing 3-0 Really? So you think the rest of this team isn’t so bad? If we’re only the odd player away from being good enough for promotion, then we must be fairly close then? Wait, we’re 17th you say? Surely that means the manager isn’t doing well enough then? You Cant have it both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't argue with his sell by date ,but he's not doing too well at CH and he's still better than Malone at FB .Good case for Lowe though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most can see it isn't working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, but the only good thing this season is the youth players looking decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a whole lot of options for centre half. Malone over Lowe is a mistake, though. I agree with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hintonsboots Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 7 minutes ago, Andicis said: Why would Fozzy be playing left back when Lowe is a much better footballer than him, and doesn't give away a free goal to the opposition every match? Because Fozzy is the best left back we’ve had at the club over the last 5 or so years. Not aware of his recovery from injuries though and how that has affected his speed.

Wisdom has actually played at centre back before though. Most of his games at Salzburg were at CB. He has to be better at CB than Forsyth...

I am firmly in the Cocu in camp, but his persistence in changing Lowe and Malone baffles me, especially when Malone is prone to idiocy. That said, Lowe gets a free run now.

How do you know we will be in the relegation zone soon? We have plenty of players due back from injury plus Rooney & any new additions in Jan Try all you can mate, they're not listening. ?

LittleEatonRam Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Cocu sounds furious (for him) on Radio Derby. Said he was pleased we put some tackles in when Reading started to be disrespectful. And he was clearly livid with the ref. A bit of fire in the belly from Phil!

Wisdom should be given a game. He is built like a centre back and was unlucky to have been dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
