Match Thread/No Wyke or Watmore

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

If you’re playing with 3 centre half’s then you can’t have two holding midfielders

I thought that when I saw the line up.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Just a cameo but he looked like a proper midfielder.

Aye looked impressive, would have liked to see him play more minutes but suppose he’s only been here a couple of days.

 

[Burnopfield Mackem]

People crying over a friendly loss to a mid-table Eredivisie side.

No mate, people crying over the 14th best team in the 3rd division over the last 12 games of last season with the biggest budget and wage bill this tin pot League has ever seen. A trip to Portugal with zero goals and this shower tonight. That’s what we are f***ing crying about mate so f***ing let that sink in.

 

[Doberman]

Spot on, like a John McGinn or a Scott Allan at Hibs. Hopefully Dobson/09/Embleton can fill that role for you

aye exactly.

he's just repeating the role he had at Hibs and was ultra effective at it but he's without John McGinn here.

 

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

Do you really need McGeough playing that deep to pick up the ball when you're playing 3-5-2/3-4-3. The defenders should be able to step out to the half way line and pass it into midfield or there's no point.

Not McGeoughs fault that it's what he's been asked to do. It won't work though because we end up looking really isolated

He was tidy again but I don't want or need tidy...

Embleton was ok I thought but the more I see of Hume tells me he’s nowhere near ready for first choice left back / wingback

He looked better last season and both right and left back - seemed out of position at times.

 

[Doberman]

I thought that when I saw the line up.

all of our midfielders are basically copies of each other so I'm not entirely sure where folk think we're going to pluck 2 attacking midfielders from.

 

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

Aye looked impressive, would have liked to see him play more minutes but suppose he’s only been here a couple of days.

And without playing for Walsall.

 

[englishman abroad]

agreed. I bet he's lethal if the ball falls to him which will never happen without a little bit of graft.

Clearly does not want to be at the club, but no fucker will take him of our hands

 

[Lord Alfred]

Gooch, Kimpioka, Embleton, O'Nien, McNulty, Hume all on the park yet Grigg touched the ball about 3 times in 90 minutes. That's an issue with Grigg and not the rest of the team.

Can you remember Darren Bent in his 24 PL goal season with us?

Sunderland vs Heerenveen 0-1, Faik sake... 67' - Streamable

Awful keeping

I'm sure Grigg would be lethal with Jordan Henderson, Steed Malbranque, Bolo Zenden and Sulley Muntari playing behind him.

FFS.

No, that’s because nobody is creating anything for him. Ronaldo would struggle up front for us with the standard of ball being put through.

 

[Eddie Hitler]

You must have a bet for us to stay in League 1 for another season then

Hes right though marra, your patter is childishly pathetic.

 

[PS]

Aye... tidy, safe, solid… We can maybe afford one midfielder like that, but the others need to be more creative, forward-facing or pacey.

 

[Doberman]

No, that’s because nobody is creating anything for him. Ronald’s would struggle up front for us with the standard of ball being put through.

our best chances came when McNulty came on. Same players (give or take one or two) yet we almost looked dangerous. Absolutely nothing to do with the fact that McNulty was willing to graft like.

 

[Lord Alfred]

I'm sure Grigg would be lethal with Jordan Henderson, Steed Malbranque, Bolo Zenden and Sulley Muntari playing behind him.

FFS.

Who do you think Grigg had behind him when he scored 25 goals in this f***ing league man.

Point being its fuck all to do with how many touches you have in a game.

 

[Burnopfield Mackem]

You think it’s funny you sad Ross loving prick.

Max Power?

 

[Kid Galahad]

thought McGeouch was excellent personally.

How?
