🤯 how people see a game never ceases to amaze me.

For me - most intelligent player on the pitch, reads a game like no other (meaning he intercepts a stupid amount of passes) and therefore pops up in the right position when we needed someone.

The pass was silly, agreed, but doesn’t help that Christie was asleep by that point and didn’t read it at all (we need a right back in Jan).

Not saying your opinion is wrong by the way, just find it mad that two people can see such a different thing.

No I get it. And I realise I'm in the minority. I think he uses the ball well 50% of the time. The other 50% - fuck knows what he's thinking. 

And as an international footballer and given the time and space he gets sitting where he does - he should be doing a lot more and a lot more regularly in my opinion. There are times when there are such mind bogglingly obvious (and easy) passes he just doesn't see. 

And if you class football IQ and largely decision making - I think Max Conway is our most intelligent footballer by some distance. And he's only 12 😁

Anyway - he frustrates the hell out of me every time I watch him. And I think I have made my feelings clear! 🤣

Thought Randell had one of his better games for us today and did some good passes think he lacks a bit of confidence but would come good if the crowd got off his back his effort was no worse than anyone else there isn't one player in our side that does not give the ball away or a bad cross more than once in a game

He was unlucky with that effort that was pushed onto the bar - but should have done better with that effort on his left when he could have wrapped things up. I thought he had a decent game - probably another 6.5.

These knobheads need to get off his back and get behind him. 

Much as I moan about JS - I wouldn't dream about slagging him off at the game. 100% backing and then a good internet slagging when I get home. Even when he's scored 2 🤣

I thought he was doing ok,for him, up to actually making the chance. Then he didn't look 100% confident in taking the shot, and the rest as they say is far from historical. He needed that goal.

Ive been quite vocal about Randall ont tinterweb . I thought he was OK today , I had zero faith in him scoring his chance and didnt bat an eyelid when he fluffed it . Being OK , in our position isnt good enough , he has to go . 

Despite that I would never boo him nor cheer the substitution . It can be a bit difficult to tell the difference between the cheers for the sub going off or the player coming on . 

[jmjhb]

Whilst I get people's frustrations about not killing the game off, we do play right to the final whistle and have picked up many points doing so.

These things cancel each other out essentially

I saw it aa dempsey coming on tbh. 

Randall did OK with pretty much feck all service into the middle. At one point he was dancing round the 18 year box oozing class but unfortunately, a no10 needs to be putting those away.

 

Ss must be seeing something in him though.

Good win today. Should have been home and hosed by halftime but we’re still running up to the last whistle.

 I thought EE had a decent game but Sheehan mom for me.

TSL wasin the running for MOTM for me

Many of our fans are staggeringly ignorant as to what makes a good player. Randell is a very very talented and clever player ahead of everyone in our midfield aside from Sheehan. He reminds me in some ways of when we had Beardsley and he was playing passes where runs should have been made but the players we had at the time weren’t clever enough to make them.
 

Anyone that cheered when his number went up today need a good talking to. That’s only going to destroy any confidence he has The momentum of the game changed the moment he went off. 
 

Conway for all his raw ability still makes some poor decisions when he’s going to try and win the ball leaving him ahead of play and the opposition in behind. Hopefully he improves that  but until he does nobody from a higher division is going to come in for him.

I agree, as was George, but I thought Sheehans distribution and all round workrate shaded it.

Never in a million years.

We have some utter dicks watching us.

Didn't do much wrong today the lad. He might not look the part but fuck me he doesn't deserve half the grief he gets.

There perhaps needs to be a separate thread for the rest of the season entitled 'A win, 3 points, but...' to cut down some of the falling out on here

I get fed up with folk knocking the goalie... it takes a while for a new keeper to bed in and today he earned his keep

Gonzo I appreciate you as a contributor but if you don’t see that failing to put poor teams to bed and scoring late winners is ‘papering over the cracks’ then I’ve probably misjudged you

We all see the 'cracks' though. There's no papering over anything.

It's just the level we are at. Far from perfect but well in the mix. 

To me it's just that time of year. Ugly crap games coming thick and fast, no team is a pushover. 

All about survival of the fittest. 

[Ani]

Just back awful 30 mins, very good 15 mins, drab second half. Result was right but we make it hard.

Disagreed with the starting 11🧑‍🎄

 

Keeper solid

Christie was awful , if JDC had that game would have been slated - needs a rest.

Centre halves - fine but FFS pass the ball in front of each other when fannying about.

Conway - Better than recently god enregy

EE broke up play very well. We were worse when he went off

JS not always a fan but today stood up when needed , won the ball back for the winner 

ACD poor with the odd good flash , I think he is better with JDC energy overlapping

TG good and threatening great outlet. 
 

Forss ran about but nothing special 

Subs - all ok, thought Dalby did well.

 

Then there is Mr Randel - I thought a decent game, very good touches, got stuck in won the ball a few times !! However the miss could have been costly, think if he scored it could have lifted his whole season. 

 

 

[Zog1]

It's a good job Sheehan scored as he almost cost us the game twice. Our first goal crazy Dalby was crying out for balls like that at Wycombe, got none, he doesnt start and the delivery comes in. Randall did well but our team seems to have an aversion to passing to anyone in the no10 positon, should have bagged his goal bad first touch did him in put him at a funny angle.

There's some dicks near me and it's nonstop. If it isn't his socks it's his hair.

That miss was right in front of me and my 70 odd year old fuzzy brain is thinking "get the shot in, score the goal, yes shut the fuckers up, oh bollocks shit bollocks" all in a millisecond.
