So you think every player in the team is Championship standard and no one is struggling ?

 

I am struggling for player who is not struggling if I am honest.

no I'm not saying that it's how you get the best out of them just like millwall she'd Utd are doing

 

We jumped out of the traps Saturday and was unlucky not to lead but concede and heads just go, second half Parkinson should have had that team fired up but total opposite

Problem is the "championship level" has moved on so far its on a different level to what we expected. This is proven by the likes of Brentford coming to our place a terrorising us.

 

We need to make a change at the helm now or consolidate take our medicine and rebuild.

 

Biggest worry is defensively we are abysmal. That's saying something that that's a bigger worry than our zero creativity

Even he can't win the headers and then be the one running onto them. For all his improvement the lad couldn't finish his tea.

There's more to being a target man than winning headers. He's numb as a piss stone.

Think Madine looks like our only championship standard player at the moment!

Agreed, but even as a big Madine supporter I'd say he's only an average championship player & none of the promotion chasing sides would be interested in him.

 

Saturday was a shock for me in that I thought that Brentford were a team that we could compete with, but I don't think that our players - under any manager - could match the football that they played in the 2nd half & we had no players who Brentford would want to sign !!

 

As said, we can only play with 1 upfront & fill the midfield......trying to match the way better.stronger & faster players play is suicidal.

Nah, Brentford were a class above us 2 seasons back. Its not a surprise to anyone.

 

Our midfield is mostly where our problems lie. Brentford showed that on Saturday. We basically have no midfield and teams simply waltz through unchecked. It makes the defence look far worse than it might with some protection.

but teams going through the middle hasn't been the case all season

 

Hull we gifted 3 goals by getting caught in possession

Middlesbrough,Derby and Leeds defender losing his marker for free headers

 

But you are right midfield is the problem but as we touched yesterday he signed 4 wingers himself

indeed it is

 

thats the sort of thing only a manc would know

 

but the fact that he ended up at bury isnt

 

the sort of player we need doesn't grow on trees

 

 

tbf, we did seem to be neglecting centre midfield in the summer, but i dont think anybody thought we couldnt stick something reasonable on the pitch from karacan, vela, cullen and pratley and derik

it was an example pal, not asking for the next viera

 

Free transfer wages wouldn't have been mega and a player who can break play up don't tell me all he could find was attacking midfielders

tbh, im surprised we didnt get him especially as hes crocked

 

and lets be honest, looking good against our midfield probably isnt difficult

 

look what bristol rovers did to us

 

if they had finished like brenford, that wouldve been 5

Has Burke played in midfield?

 

 

if it was up to me, he would be fcuking finding out about it quick sharp

 

but if hes going to dive in like he did on saturday, that wont work

 

 

i think burkes a good case in point about what confidence does

 

looked fine when we got him

 

he looked like bobby moore first 20 minutes on saturday, ended up looking more bobby ball

I'd like to see Cullen play. Keep wondering why he's not involved every week. 

Posted

the best suggestion anybody has come up with for the player we need is playing for bury who are bottom of the league below

2 options current free agents. Diagorouga -ex Leeds and Mulumbu -ex WBA. However I suspect we can't afford their wages despite them currently earning £0 per week. It would seem players have a certain pay expectations which if not met then they aren't going to bother

I see Burke has "liked" a tweet responding to an LOV article about why him and Cullen should be sent back to West Ham. Happy camp.

 

 

i cant see it but that might be cos i dont really do twitter
