Ever the pessimist Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 He is not wrong about tackles: said at the time it was like we were playing non contact for fear of any more injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 He's entitled to his view. Furthermore, everyone seems to agree with pretty much everything he's saying. We are absolute dog w@nk and have been all season. The players, the club etc should be embarrassed by the absolute sh*te they've served up this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying there aren’t problems and I’m not saying the club shouldn’t be criticised but in some cases the local media reaction to all things Wednesday this season has contributed to the constant negativity that is surrounding the club at the moment. Do you really think when on the pitch Jordan Rhodes is worried about what jon newsome is saying? It’ll be the last things on his mind Blaming the current plight on negativity is the biggest bloody cop out Edited February 11, 2018 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan48 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I agree with J N - and I was there yesterday . 2nd team or not the minimum I expect is for professional players to show some desire and commitment to winning the ball .Very few of them showed this and although I can understand delicate forwards perhaps protecting their fragile legs from time to time , how can any player professing to be a defender or midfield player jump out of tackles or not contest a ball in the air ? It's pathetic . Very few of those playing yesterday have anything to play for apart from the pay packet . They know they wouldn't make the team under normal circumstances , so why risk possible injury by actually tackling the opposition .I would hope they find a little more pride and self - respect as the weeks go on , otherwise I fear the worst . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owlinmad Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 None of the local media have anything good to say about us because DC has weewee'd them off by not giving them "exclusives and inside information". Therefore like any good investigative reporter they make things up and create something out of nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Newsome Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 He can't wait to have a dig at the club at every opportunity, almost as if he's doing it to make a name for himself in the punditry game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or by pulling out of potentially dangerous tackles prevented them getting injuries. I'm talking generally as I wasn't at the game and I respect that you were there. Possibly could have been under orders. We don't want to lose further players to injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not caused no. But it doesn't help matters. Too many fans on Social media who think that just because that they have an opinion that it's an opinion of merit. Most opinions are just wild conjecture with little foundation, but the constant drip, drip of negativity has a corrosive effect on players. If fans didn't think their opinions affected the players then they wouldn't give them. It's a similar effect to bullying after a while the abuse takes its toll or the bully wouldn't do it. Human nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan48 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Watson , it's part of their job to make tackles .I know it's no longer the age of Norman Hunter or even Tony Kay , but tackling is an essential art and skill as demonstrated by Worthy and Nillson and we need to get players skilled enough to do this .Standing off as we did for Barnsley's goal is simply not acceptable .
