Hack-Abusi Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 For a wide man, last season showed that we needed a replacement but it's a damning indictment of our transfer policy that we are still relying on Wallace, a left footed winger to provide the goods at 32/33. All because of this wretched system of the full backs providing the width sand and Wallace tucking in. fůck off ffs Stick him out on left cc so he can put early balls in or drop him because he's not been great this season ...

Yep for over a year now Wallace has been top of the problem list for me, because in a 442 formation which we play, we need a wide man with pace who can get past a defender and cross high or low across the ground to strikers in the box. Wallace can do none of those things. I personally think Reach is fine on the left side for what he does and let’s face it he cost £5m so we need to keep him in the team. As a previous poster said maybe Boyd was brought in to be Wallace’s replacement but even he doesn’t have the pace to help our system, as we saw earlier in the season when he was fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Think tank Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Should not have been given another year. He was poor last year bar a few good goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. None of our full backs ever score or even provide assists, yet are often missing when the opposition score. So it's not like this system provides a lot, and has severe setbacks. Recently at Norwich when Oliveira missed a sitter, Palmer wasn't in the same postcode. Couldn't see him either when Bannan gave pen away in RB area. I'd much prefer an out and out winger with pace. He would also provide a good outball. Unfortunately Carlos clearly wouldn't and prefers a twenty pass build up instead of being more direct.

Mmmbop Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Scored some great goals that will live long in the memory. That being said, it's the present that he should be judged on. As many people have said, his legs have gone. He hasn't got a trick, he has no pace, he cannot pick a pass, cannot track back and he added last night the fact he cannot make a 10 yard pass. Why does he deserve respect off the back of that? It is here and now that we live in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls2k Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Wallace has been very underrated in the previous 2 seasons but this season he's just not reached anywhere near that level. He is only 32 so I'm not buying that he is now too old, its probably more to do with the fact he has got no real competition for that spot at the moment, the only time we switch him out is for a CM playing out wide or mid-game when we change the formation. The decision to not take him off last night was completely bizarre, he was having his worst game in a Wednesday shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant first season scoring some world class goals and as you say, not his fault we have no one else. Unfortunately, the likelihood that key players such as Wallace, Loovens and Hutchinson were not going to be able to continue to perform at a high level for much longer (or reliably in Hutchinson's case) should have been acted upon with far more vigour..

ramone Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Loads of time for Ross but yeah, he’s done. It’s criminal that we don’t have ANYONE in our squad that can replace him and give him a rest. And we haven’t had for 2 and half seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emilianenko Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 There was a time in the game where Palmer had the ball and Wallace was tucked inside. Wallace made a semi circular run round the outside of Palmer and got 5 yards ahead to recieve the ball.It was like he was running in quicksand to get there.

I have always wanted to see him play on the left, but with (another favourite) Reach, in that position will never happen, another manager may have left Reach out and play him on the left, or at least when Reach goes to left back (which happens a lot) play him then. I know its not going to happen, but for me he at least he would get good crosses in, he does have a sweet left foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 One of CC's favourites. Needs dropping but unfortunately we have no one really to replace him until Boyd is fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I've always stuck up for Wallace because in a team of bottlers he has usually been the one player who we could rely on to step up in the big games and score the important goals and make an impact. This season though he was been awful and needs dropping. I don't think I've seen him do anything this season.

fred mciver Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Always gives all but time's caught up. At WAtford, no one over 30 gets a contract, Barnsley 25 is upper age limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Proving one season too many for Loovens and Wallace. Sad thing is, we signed an ageing Boyd to compete with Wallace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Not gonna slate Wallace. He’s been a great signing on a free for us and has done well. Also think the fact Carlos makes our wingers come central doesn’t help him at all for a winger who just wants to hug the touch line and put crosses in. Shouldn’t be here next season.
