Weak, gutless, poor in the tackle and only mediocre pace as well as being too scared to get injured. Yep, unpopular with me for one. Reach is a quality act in this team. Sure that SB knows how to get the best from him, and if he can't, he'll go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was really surprised that it was him that sprinted back from the edge of the United area to make a saving intervention on the edge of our area. So.. credit to him for doing it.. But the fact I was surprised sort of says it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really thought Boyd & Mattias would start putting in big performances to win a new contract - like JJ & Big Dave (and if you believe the snipers Liam Palmer) - it seems they can't even be arsed to do that.

Guest LittleG Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 16 minutes ago, cookeh said: It certainly passed Boyd by, so surely better to 'take a risk' on Matias. To me it was an utterly bewildering substitution. Fair enough if Nando had to go off, but Boyd? He doesn't have the pace to be effective in closing down or when making counterattacks. Matias does. So why pick Boyd? Or go for Nuhiu, who can close down as well as Boyd can, might win 1 in 10 balls forward (better than Boyd's 0), and would be an asset defending our own box, given how many set pieces we were giving away. I just don't know what Bruce was trying to do by putting Boyd on, it certainly didn't have any positive effect that I saw. To be honest they are all nearly as bad as one another. I agree that Boyd struggled when he came on but from what I have seen from Matias I don't think he would have been up for the fight. As for Nuihu, he's far slower than Boyd so not sure he would have made much impact in either closing player's down or having an impact up front. Our options from the bench were very poor to say the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also you great aunt, your third cousin and your next door neighbours budgie. The only thing I was wrong about was thinking the stats Sky put up were for the whole of the second half. Boyd was rubbish. The majority in this thread agree. The stats prove it. The stats also prove that the pigs back three had some of the best passing accuracy stats despite you claiming they spent the whole of the second half going long and losing the ball. I was aware of this as I watched the game whilst you spent your evening trying to start a fight with a lamp post before wandering back to your hut and talking cr@p on an internet forum.

Yoshihiro Sunbeam Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) 9 hours ago, 2roland2 said: I would also say that if indeed the back three have that passing accuracy it’s because they are tapping the ball around the edge of their box, that’s how they play, the only difference between their usual game and last night was we stopped them playing further out, they ended up,passing around at the back for a while then lumping it up. Just go go and watch the game, it’s their for you to see, we stopped them playing it out and only allowed them to fizz about on the edge of their own box. Anyhow its like talki g to a brick wall you were adamant last night about Posseion stats which would have meant we hardly touched the ball for the entire second half. It’s like platting fog Can you post that again please. This time in English. If the finger coming out of the palm of your hand is making you type gibberish, then stick a pencil in your mouth and use that to hit the keys. I'll try and respond to the bits I can make out. So they 'tapped' the ball around the edge of their box, yet Boyd did a good job? We went from 50-50 at half time to 41-59 because we were effectively playing with ten men and missed FF's energy and pressing. FF was injured and by no means had his best game but he was far more effective than Boyd. Edited March 5, 2019 by Yoshihiro Sunbeam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FF hasn’t got a hamstring injury imo, I think he just doesn’t do what the manager wants and was brought off. You can’t press high with one striker; FF is playing too deep all the time. FF will be sold I saw FF grab hold of his hamstring just before half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCOWl Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Just opened this thread and can't be bothered to go through 10 pages reading every comment so not sure what I've missed......but I have to agree with the OP, Boyd offers absolutely nothing and hasn't for sometime. He jogs round as though he's out for a leisurely stroll, day dreaming and watching time go by. May as well play with 10. I don't understand what anyone on the coaching staff see in him. Not much option on the bench in general last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im also a ready bored of picking you up on the slight mistakes in posts because quite honestly I can’t be arsed to act like a cheeky monkey you are seriously simple and boring so adios Sunbeam Yeah, you keep saying goodbye, you keep saying you are done talking to me but you keep coming back for another verbal slap. Pencil's obviously slipped out of your gob again. It's back to being practically unreadable. They didn't have a back four. Go back and watch the match. In fact watch it for the first time because if you think Boyd chased anything you are either lying about watching the game or are blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
