Brighton 3 Wanderers 2

[ex_midlandwhite]

passing it to our 'footballing' midfielder who is playing right back?

 

freeze the picture as he gets it and hes got the best part of a quarter of the pitch to himself

 

its not the fault of amos that vela fcuks up

 

 

check out the second goal and play spot the right back

We've not had a RB on the pitch most of the season despite having had two in the squad but that's not Vela's fault!

[Casino]

indeed

 

but he must have played 30 odd games there now

 

ive seen amos and mark davies blamed for the goal and id say both are way less culpable than vela

 

he gets the ball in an easy position (having asked for it) and by the time he gets it to davies, theres a fella all over him

 

maybe davies could've leathered it into the stand but it shouldnt have come to that

 

 

and on the second goal, im wondering if hes got back, yet

[Casino]

in velas defence, when he receives the ball, you could throw a blanket over about 6 of ours

[BOWTUN BAKED]

Doesn't help Dershite keeps switching off either

[Casino]

not sure he 'switches off' on any of those

 

i do think he gets done for pace on the first

[Cheese]

We lost. We'll probably win next week. The level of analysis some of you are delving in to is fucking ridiculous.

[Casino]

maybe if i thought the manager gave it half as much thought, id not be as bothered

[tomski]

Thought as a whole we played ok. Between both teams there was 7 chances and 5 goals. The feeney chance was crucial.

 

I'll not give up the ghost but I think we are down.the team around us are picking up results we won't sadly.

Folk have always done that

 

It's a football forum to provide a platform to do so

 

Fuckwit

[captainmed]

Played well overall and the players yesterday gave everything.

 

Point is though that the away record is a disgrace and we aren't good enough.

 

Yesterday was the day when I've prepared myself mentally for relegation.

 

My son was enthusiastically telling me how many "new" grounds there is for him next season on the long journey home earlier.

 

Every cloud.......

Touched a nerve?

Touched a nerve?

Far from it

 

Anyone going on a football forum complaining about folk analysing a game is clearly someone to feel sorry for

 

Didn't want your attention seeking cry for help to go unnoticed

Ok

On the whole it was a decent game yesterday. Can't fault the effort of the players

 

However, what I can fault is just the simple things.

 

• Pass and move
• Control the ball, look up, and play it to a team-mate 
• If you're a defender and their defender/midfielder has the ball and one of their players makes a break down the middle it's pretty fucking obvious what's going to happen next, so anticipate it and move to cover it
• If you're under pressure and had a bad ball played to you, don't fanny around, just get rid even if its into Row Z

This lot are supposed to be good enough to play in the second tier of English football. They're not.

 

Can't blame Lennon for yesterday. He put out what team he could. They just couldn't do it despite their efforts

Your right I teach my 11 year olds that and in the whole they do just that, I expect 20 something pros to do these things without thinking, piss poor they can't.

You can be slow or fast, But you must get to the line

[MancWanderer]

If any of them are coasting thinking that they'll get picked up by another club if/when we get relegated they are in for a shock

 

Any scout/coach/manager worth their salt can see that they just can't/won't do the basics right

[bolton va va]

Just back.......odd game this, since most of our players played poorly & yet we competed all through the game & still had a chance right up to the end. The Feeney 1 on 1 was an important miss but TBF they had plenty chances also.....we didn't deserve to win but might have pinched a point. There was no lack of effort from any of our players.

 

Plusses were Holding's assured use of the ball but he's still learning defensively, & Spearing was MOM, not perfect, but a tremendous battling effort that showed some leadership.

 

The games are running out but i've not given up yet, while the players are still putting up a fight.

and the thing is they actually have chance now to boost their CVs; all of football knows  the extra crap we've been through. If you're playing for a team who are just shit and you go down then it's hard to spin that. But with all that's gone on (and the one thing that will get sympathy from other players/managers is not being paid), if they dragged themselves out of this then being a part of a team that overcame that level of adversity must actually be something that helps their cause when they move. But they have to do it...

[enzo gambaro]

A fair few people have offered it up as a viable option, but this site would go into meltdown if our players started hoiking the ball into the stand every time they felt a bit uncomfortable in possession.

 

Iles would have to start including row Z occupants in his match ratings.

Watching some of our performances and mistakes you could be excused for thinking some of our players were in the hand of dubious over seas bookmakers. Obviously that's not the case but some of the fuck ups and performances leave me incredulous.
