I've been one of those who has been patient with him. Probably too patient. Last night though, not only did his actions mean we we were down to 10 men for most of the match (I can't blame him for the mistaken identity though), but it was his lack of effort in that second half. When he can see Dempsey busting a gut running from one end of the pitch to the other, but he sees to fit to do the same but at the pace of a snail is unforgiveable. I hope he never plays for us again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted January 25, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) I remember De Freitas being called a lazy whopper a while back. Popped up with a key goal at Wembley to send us up Kachunga will probably do the same. Edited January 25, 2023 by Spider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just comparing two similar incidents, both were retaliatory. Had the ref seen Mcginlays punch he would have been sent off. Booing Bolton players or booing Bolton players for taking the knee is for numpties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one cares a jot about taking the knee.. it’s an empty gesture, booing a BWFC player isn’t my bag but can sure understand fans passion in doing so.

tomski Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I loved Mcginlays punch v wolves and still do. Not sure I feel anything either way about last nights dig. Charles likely back for Sat and 3 points chalked up last night. I thought as a fan base we were better than the cheers/jeers on Kachunga sub. Good assist last night for balance. What I did find odd is he needed coming off as he was pissed off and had thrown the towel in those 3/4 mins before the sub. Not sure if he’d heard owt, must of been individual as nothing I heard of so. No issues with him playing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't just the lack of running, it was the half-arsed challenges and not even bothering to jump for headers. You'd have thought he'd be putting in superhuman effort given he was responsible for us playing with 10 men. I'm sure it wasn't the case but he looked like he couldn't give a fuck.

That’s where I’m at with it. One of the prerequisites of being a successful player for this club is the effort and output. Put your all in and you’ll get the plaudits you deserve - see Dempsey and Bradley. The 5 minutes before he went off he was absolute passenger and that was most likely fresh in a lot of people’s minds. Jumping early, half arsed jumping, letting his man go, not pressing the man. Knackered or not, if I’m responsible for that level of cock up I’d be running my absolute bollocks off to atone for things. What’s that saying about ‘if you play for the badge on the front, they’ll remember the name on the back’? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive never noted his lack of effort before that final 5 mins of his appearance last night and in any game before tbh. His lack of effort always been the least of our worries, hes just a bit kack. Maybe he was shagged last night or picked up a knock who knows. Lad doesnt deserve booing off the pitch either way. Nobody in a white shirt does. Ever.

Traf Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Shortly before he came off, one of those glided past him with the ball and he clumsily/lazily attempted to trip him from behind and couldn't even execute that. This isn't a knee-jerk from last night, I've questioned for a long time what he brings to the table and constantly find that the answer is little/nothing. If anything, he was a negative influence last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrycowdrill Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 The collective tide is turning on kachunga now. Even if he doesn’t get a retrospective ban even though we’re short on numbers up top he needs to be pulled out the firing line for a bit. It’s beginning to turn toxic for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
