darrener Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Thought we did ok. Played some good stuff at times. First 25 minutes we were 2nd best. Eagles best player by a mile. Went off the boil when sordell went off. Forest will be up there this season. Keep the faith!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyoneawalker Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Some decent performances but the 3 teams we've all played have played better as a team for me we're still miles off geling and everything we do looks like its an accident - cried out for 20m cameo from petrov for me ...... Mears is bloody awful his feet are horrific get Riley in - mills does the ugly stuff ok and Andrews just ticks along you don't notice him type but he's effective - if we're bringing in a defensive midfielder who's getting dropped in a 442 or are we going 451?

YTARMY Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 F##k me it was hard to find many positives from this match the defence is terrible it needs sorting quickly Chris eagles seems to be enjoying himself for a change but 4 points out of 3 games is hardly championship winning form .If it continues like this 4 points out every 9 gives us 45 points at the end of season not good enough in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted August 24, 2012 Site Supporter Share Posted August 24, 2012 Davies M looked as though he was treading water waiting for his big money move. He'd certainly never make much of a living if he went into marketing; he pretty much said to Swansea, "I'm shit, you don't need me!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mounts Kipper Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 mears was shite  davies k should've come off with 20 to go  petrov should've got a run in place of davies k or lee  mills is dodgy but i'd persevere for a bit  eagles is one of the best in this league  we will go up automatically  that is all    Are you on drugs, this team won't go up major flaw is the lack of a solid defense there like a boxer with a glass jaw.

Burndens Bogs Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 A long hard season ahead i reckon. Do we really think this side will get results away at Birmingham,Forest,Leicester,Wolves,Huddersfield etc etc? No, i doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Forgot to mention in the pub in Spain there was a forest lad in there who was agent for 2 forest players and 2 Bolton players he confirmed that Swansea bid 5 million for Davies Bolton turned them down flat and he said that Davies will definitely be staying.

Moderators Casino Posted August 24, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 24, 2012 Cassie, town hall steps, my arse, automatic promotion.  we played better stuff tonight than we did on tuesday  whenever we get the ball we threaten  we'll be plenty good enough  we're miles behind the side he inherited but plenty good enough for this league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrp Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Not particularly got a view either way on mears yet. Â I thought he was one of our better playera tonight though. He linked up the play as well as anyone. Good understanding with ping pong, didnt get caught out defensively. When he was needed, he stopped a sure goal from cox at the back post.

hughmungus Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Four points and is not good enough, team seems like a bunch of strangers and need someone just to gee them up. Defence looked shit scared and when Knight is the best of the 4 you just know times are hard. Â Why leave chunky on he looked way off the pace and won't be right for another 6 games at least. Game was crying out for Petrov as other people have said. Â 6 th place at the very best for us if other teams fall to bits. Â Long season folks.

Moderators Casino Posted August 24, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 24, 2012 Mears is pratleys replacement for the boo boys then.  who mentioned booing him  i wouldn't waste my breat  he can have 3 more games then the jury will be returning it's verdict  full backs get more touches than any other position  you've got to be able to pass the ball  from what i've seen, he can't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter HomerJay Posted August 24, 2012 Site Supporter Share Posted August 24, 2012 That's because Chungy keeps passing to him rather than crossing or taking his man on!  Agree with this.  Cyl is not a good attacking winger. Never has been  He's a solid reliable wide man.  He needs the self belief of eagles to become any kind of player.  Mears has been and always will be a bang average championship player.  Mavies needs to get his thumb out if his arse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little whitt Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Watched it on tv in Spain , This is my view: Bogdan Steady but does not seem to organise the back four. Mears needs games to get up to speed but a long way to go, Steinson twice the player. Ricketts thought he did ok and added a forward threat. Mills needs more match practice but Ream is a better player for me. Knight playing at his level and did ok but another defender who does not talk or organise enough for me. Mark Davies waste of talent he needs a rocket up his arse not nearly involved enough but he could be the difference and I still have faith in his ability. Andrews seems to be sacrificed in the defensive role but not nearly good enough I'm not impressed. Chung yong you can see his class and l am hoping we continue to persevere while he gets himself up to match fitness. Kev Davies best player for 1 hour anonymous after, needs to be used sparingly. Sordell did very little for me but the great finish was hopefully the sign of things to come. Adobe piss fuckin poor if that's best he can muster send him back I expect much much more from a supposedly promising young player.  Looking at our style as a team we don't press when we don't have the ball and when we do have the ball there is not enough urgency desire or tempo we still do not look fit enough but we have a long season to correct that, we also seem to be stuck in between the lump it to KD and trying to play on the floor, my view is we have the players to get it down and play it and only if that fails we can resort to KD and long ball for last 20 minutes, this would preserve and protect KD for the season and for me on the deck is where we should be looking to open up these very average championship teams.  Owen Coyle and backroom team body language very poor, organisation poor. I am sure he will not get this team promoted and I feel it's just a question of when not if, I hope I'm horribly wrong and he makes me eat my words.  In finishing we need a tried and trusted old dog of war in the middle of the park I don't think Spearing is the answer. spot ondirty wolves went down with us  and thay sold 3 players for £30 milliom in the last few days  do we have them type of players ?????/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter HomerJay Posted August 24, 2012 Site Supporter Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) I didnt say eagles was any good  But he knows what's required  Cyl would be better in a better team whereas eagles would not. if that makes any sense  He's like mavies, you always want that little bit more  Whereas you know eagles can't actually be any better Edited August 24, 2012 by HomerJay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
