Owlstastic Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Dear Mr. Bruce. Now that the season is over can we try something other than a Fox/Boyd combo down the left hand side? Anything would be preferable. A hat stand and my mother in law for example. Ta. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kendoddsdadsdogsdead Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Westwood 10 - Outstanding. But for him, it would really have been a rout. Palmer 6 - Didnt do anything wrong, but never really had a chance to bomb on. Lees 7 - Played pretty well. Won a lot of challenges, solid enough. Hector 6 - Made some very timely challenges, but sometimes wasteful in possession. Fox 2 - Slow ponderous and nearly always out of position. Offered nothing. Matias 5 - Chance at the end would have been a smash and grab. Other than that another who did not do anything special. Bannan 5 - clearly not fit, although tried to orchestrate things. One excellent effort in the first half. Gave the ball away plenty enough. Hutchinson 6 - Got the run around a bit, but could not fault his effort. Boyd 2 - Didnt realise he was playing. Hooper 5 - Some good touches, but bereft of runners playing off him, which did not help him. Fletcher 5 - Up against a very good CB. Tried hard, but like many others, struggled to make any impact. Reach - Exited early, so a score not really appropriate. FF 5 - Some nice touches, but looks half a yard slower to me. Big Dave 4 - The game was well beyond us when he came on, but won a couple of headers. A pretty bad performance, although Leeds were excellent, and but for Westwood, would have strolled away with it. A few players looked leggy and far from fit, which also hampered us. As many have and will point out, we seriously lack pace and willing midfield runners.

Mr. Tom Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Forgot about Westwood 'cos he was so obviously MOTM. Voted for Lees 'cos I couldn't decide between him, Palmer, Hutch and Hec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't keep making excuses for bannan...he's been poor more than once this season...anyhow on to newhugh.. Bannan struggles when we are against energeitic pacey players. Leeds have nightmare midfield for him to play against. He covered ground but was just too slow same applies for Boyd. Hooper and Fletcher's lack of pace was clearly demonstrated in game. next season high energy and industry will be the buzzword with success of Norwich and Leeds. SB has made this clear in press conferences which means new energy will be required in our side next season. we were well organised today and defended manfully but you need more than this.

Kenners3896 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Westwood 9 - kept us in the game with some cracking saves. Tired quickly of his slow play dead balls though. Palmer 4 - bossed by Their wingers. Didn't offer enough. Was turned inside out time and time again. Lees 5 - defensively sound but just lumped it long every time he got the ball. Not a captain. Team never got going and the captain never inspired them to. Hector 6- decent in the air but not one of his best games. Fox -1 - Morgan fox was just Morgan fox. Lost the ball every single time he had it. Played it out of play. Was turned inside out when defending. Was just a really terrible performance all round. Matias 6- lively but not brave enough much of the time. Looked out most likely to do something. But still miles off the pace. Bannan 5 - not fit, both him and hutch lost the midfield battle to a single player in Phillip's. Bannan never got on the ball and when he did he just lost it. Perhaps a game too soon. Hutchinson 6- see above. Huffed and puffed but never got a grip of their midfield. Passes was terrible just like the rest of team. Boyd 3 - goal last week papered over the cracks. Very poor player. Weak slow and has no ideas. That left side today was dreadful. Hooper 4 - not fit? Lazy? Just wondered around throwing his arms around. Completely ineffective. Big chance though and he fluffed his lines. Not one of his best games. Should have come off earlier. Fletcher 6- worked hard to be fair to him. But struggled to win a header. Didn't press the Leeds defence and much of our play was just lazy long balls to him. Reach - 4 - had zero impact on game before coming off. Break may do him good as he has had little impact for weeks. Nando - 3 - again zero impact on the game. Had one little glimpse of what he can do but it's not enough. Anyone remember the last time nando had an impact on a game or played well? Nuhiu - 5- brought on to Do a job and did it well. But not one gambled off the flick ons. Won majority of headers but was often too deep for anything to come of it. Bruce - 3- schooled by biesla. Worst we've played under him. Never even had a short purple patch. Subs were predictable and the whole team just seemed quite content to lose. No passion no desire no work rate. Leeds are a tough team to play. But there's no excuse for not running. Not working. Not wanting it. But we didn't We weren't interested in playing. We looked absolutely terrified of them from the moment the whistle blew. They blew us away. If not for poor finishing and expert keeping we would have lost that 4 or 5 nil. That brings the season to an end. Cant complain with how its ended when you look at how it began and I realising losing is just part of the game. Rolling over isn't. Very disappointed with the character Tonight. They just didn't want to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
