Animis Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 An honest enough player who's not, or ever has been at top half championship level. Show's our lack of depth when we are relying on him by November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you agree with my other points. Pelupessy is crap mate ... Not only at taking corner kicks but as a 'championship' footballer ... I know it, you know it and most of the honest posters on here know it. If Monk thought he was the best choice to take the corners why did he tell Hutch to take them after half time and then hooked him on 60 mins?? Monk fkd up ...simple as Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, chipped in with the odd assist previously when on them too. I'd have had Fox on them from the left, he's one of our best crosses of the ball and he would have delivered from the touchline rather than behind the goalie and having to come up that little hill. That didn't help Aside from the corners, JP was no worse than the other 2 midfielders in open play though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDO Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 He's league 2 standard imo. Let's hope and pray that Jos the dross comes in for him in January. After all, he was the first name on the team sheet under dross.Nowhere near championship standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would have had Lee on them, I’ve seen him deliver numerous good corners in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyCroppersHair Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 He’s good at marking the oppositions threat out of a game, that should be all he has to do as he does it well, letting him take corners/free kicks etc is the managers fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HillsboroughOwlNI Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I really dislike slagging off any of our players and if anyone is sad enough to look, they will see I never have. Some of our players have poor games, some have average games, and some can be good/excellent. Joey however, is just nowhere near good enough for us. He’s league 2 at best. Please, let today’s corners be a reason for Monk never to pick him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t beat the first man all day, reminded me of the old crab at his peak. If I have to watch him take another corner in my lifetime I’m going to gauge my eyes out. Rant over. He’s awful. Why was Reach not brought into the middle? Pelupussy has never been an attack minded midfielder so what was the point in playing him? Should never play alongside Hutchinson again. Awful mistake by Monk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he was considered the best choice to take them suggests a real lack of judgement coupled with a sense of incredulity that presumably other players were not even that good. And then the corners went to sir Hutchinson , and they were just as bad . Two professional footballers who can’t take corners I think you mean.

scilly owl Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 When I played village green standard football we used to moan like hell when the local plasterer/fisherman/ painter and decorator etc messed up a corner....

Guest Bulgaria Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 We hardly ever score from corners anyway so it doesnt matter who takes them. Apart from boro away and barnsley at home we have been as threatening as a wet fart. Its plain for all to see that Fletcher needs help. Well, nearly all.

Simple - get it in the box, somewhere between 6 yard line and penalty spot, 7 or 8 foot above the ground, have a man back edge of the penalty box to pick up any unintended deflections - and let the big lads fight for it. And I played at pub level ! Beckham used to stay on after training practising free kicks by shooting through hoops hung on goal posts. Now he was an exceptional talent but any player on the pitch should be able to kick a dead ball 25 yards and hit a target the size of a garage door, surely.

Bleeder Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Joey is much happier when we haven't got the ball. He'll run and chase all game but most of the time he really doesn't know what to do with the ball when it's at his feet. Particularly when the game opens out, for whatever reason, he doesn't put himself in a good position to receive the thing. If we are so short of midfielders that he has to play, sit him on the opposition's playmaker - make it 10 v 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a bloke in our team who ran the Beach Cafe... he took our corners and he put it 8 feet high on the penalty spot every time, maybe missed two a season when there was a force 8 blowing..... it was great for me as I was a centre half and used to bag half a dozen goals a season !!

greyowl Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Potters penalty defence, the ball was almost floating when he took them. That corner was so flooded, water was swept off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
