Birley Owl 1867 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Their first goal on Monday has highlighted something we've all said for a long time. We need a big massive lobster in CM to stop them just waltzing through us. Someone who isn't scared of a tackle, but better then Hutchinson in that regards obviously, who would have put his foot in on Monday and we maybe wouldn't have gone 1 down. People say we need pace. That we do. But its painfully obvious we need a bit more fight and aggression that we need speed. So come on DC, buy a good defensive CM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi1867 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I am 67 yrs old, played football at a low level, but every team at that time had some one who would have taken him out before the 2nd player was bypassed. Better to give away a free kick than a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Not only loovens and not only the goal. We tackled like five year old girls all afternoon. Get some flippingballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kameron Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Burtonlona outclassed us , their first goal was a worldly reminiscent of Marodona in 86, Flanagan left 7 of our players sat on their arses before guiding the ball home, you sometimes have to take it on the chin and admit we were no match for a side from a village with a population of 22, two dogs and cow and three flipping sheep. We should be okay for Saturday though Loovens made is down stairs in time to sign for his new Zimmer frame and Rhodes is down at spec savers so should now be able to see that big flip off rectangular net from 1/2 a yard away.

OwlofOliveGrove Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Our tackling reminds me of Peter Kay's impression of a rich tea biscuit once it's been dipped in a cuppa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lythamowl Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The Burton lad started his run near the park hotel, stopped at the chippy on leppings lane, got a quote from grahams tyres for a couple of cross plys and still no-one tackled him...... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) Was bloody pathetic that a tackle wasnt put in, and dont get me started on that pi$$ poor play that happened before they got the penalty.

prowl Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 He wouldn't have got through if Hutch was on the pitch. We do need someone else to play that role as well, Hutch can't be relied on to stay fit. An enforcer at CB wouldn't go amiss either. 2 minutes ago, Kameron said: Burtonlona outclassed us , their first goal was a worldly reminiscent of Marodona in 86, Flanagan left 7 of our players sat on their arses before guiding the ball home, you sometimes have to take it on the chin and admit we were no match for a side from a village with a population of 22, two dogs and cow and three flipping sheep.

I wouldn't have minded if he'd done that, at least it would show we had tried to tackle him. The problem is nobody made the attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not forgetting our very own Tony Kay of course. Wonderful times. Today's referees would be waving red cards in the warm up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appalling goal to give away against a bloke who up to that point [and after] had the first touch and dribbling skills of a shopping trolley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy87shef Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 2-3 players should have put in a tackle before Loovens. I did realise that Butterfield was on a yellow though so if he goes in at the angle he's stood at and gets it wrong he's getting sent off. I don't rate Butterfield but will afford him some leniency there. Loovens however is a disgrace in that goal, back turned, neshes the challenge. Couldn't look more disinterested if he tried. If I was manager I'd honestly fine him for it, it was that much of a disgrace. There will be plenty of examples but I can't remember for a long time a Wednesday centreback bottle something so much and just appear not to care. Made my blood boil seeing that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
September65 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 We pull out of so many tackles. No physicality, no pace, no leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
