bradowl Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 No one better than average today, Bannan MOM for me, kept going whilst others around him struggled later in game. After dreadful start I didn't think we were all that bad for remainder of first half but we faded badly towards end, we could put it down to a lot of games in a short space of time but other teams are playing same number of games. Game was very open in first half but when Cardiff brought Samba on for Mendez-Laing they nullified our threat a lot more, him and Flint are 2 giants at back, we were always going struggle in air against em so should have kept it on floor more instead of putting high balls in which they defended quiet easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Dawson 4 poo kicking and the first goal is right next to him. Don’t care what anyone says but not in Westwood’s league Palmer 5 poor and lucky not to have a broken leg Iorfa 4 bambi Lees 6 extra point for the goal Fox 4 awful Murphy 5 tries but it crap Hutch 5 Luongo is a better player Bannan 7 never hides Harris 4 terrible performance. Is becoming predictable Reach 4 play him left wing or don’t bother Winnall 5 tried but should have scored Borner 4 was awful when he came on Rhodes 3 Nuhiu 4 If Fletcher leaves our season is over. Absolutely woeful for the third game in a row Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Ballgirl next to south stand and she was below par far too slow to react but put more effort in than those clowns on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea he showed that he would be the best right back we've had in "many a year" is absolutely ludicrous. He's a very limited footballer in almost every position but centre back. Yes, he's better than palmer at right back, but Keiren Lee is a better right back than both of them. Take your head out of your arris.

More like it although Harris and Murphy were the worst of a very bad bunch , I’ve never actually been so angry at two players during a match as those two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_Owl Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Bannan. Winnall was only other one trying, hope he stays in the team. Murphy and Reach are both great technical players but way too soft, they pull out of everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to pick the ball out of the net twice and hold a tame free kick. Only other save was the bicycle kick he tipped over the bar that was offside anyway....

Dutch McLovin Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 22 hours ago, frastheowl said: Dawson - 6 - Not sure he could have done anything with either goal...certainly blameless for the 2nd, could he have done better with the 1st? Maybe, but certainly not a glaring error. Other than that, did everything, with little fuss; the odd dodgy pass aside. Palmer - 4 - For me, he's, partly, at fault for both goals. Far too hesitant, almost bottles the challenge with Glaztel (along with Lees) for the 1st goal, and he has to track the run of Hoillett for the 2nd. Hoillett has acres of space on the penalty spot, whilst Palmer's six yards away from him marking nobody. Careless in possession at times as well. Bad day at the office. Iorfa - 5 - Another big unit he's struggled against. Vokes had the better of him on Boxing Day, and Glaztel dominated today. Neither he nor Lees seem to settle each other down...they are fine when things are comfortable and going well, but when the backs are against the wall, they seem to initiate panic between themselves. Odd substitution to bring him off however. Lees - 5 - Like Palmer, he's at fault for both goals. Fails to win the challenge with Glaztel for the 1st, and allows Tomlin to drift in behind him for the 2nd. Gets a mark back for a good goal, but generally, he looked rushed, panicked and lacking composure. Fox - 6 - I'd have to see the goals back again, to see if Fox was culpable, seen as the source of both came down our left flank. But, generally, I thought he was one of the better players today. Seem to defend well enough, and always wanted the ball down the left hand side, if lacking a bit in quality at key times. Hutchinson - 7 - Man of the Match - I think he gets the award by default really. Can't see he had a great game by any stretch of the imagination, but tried to drive things forward in the 1st half, and proved his versatility in the 2nd by playing three positions adeptly in the space of 10 minutes. Bannan - 6 - Worked tirelessly, and tried to make things happen, as he always does. But alas, it wasn't his day. Too many ambitious balls didn't come off, and I felt he dropped too deep in the 2nd half at a time when we needed him making things happen further forward (although, I acknowledge, Monk's strange substitutions forced him to play that role). That said, another assist and a great through ball in the 1st half for Winnall. Murphy - 6 - Little unfortunate today he didn't have more of an impact on the game. Seems to drift in and out of games, but there were periods where he looked a threat and looked to have the beating of the full back. Couple of really good crosses/ball across the box which should've been rewarded with better. Harris - 4 - As poor a game as he's had. One thing you can almost guarantee with Harris usually, is the beating of his full back. Not today. Bacuna defended against him brilliantly, and Harris simply looked devoid of ideas and answers. Reach - 4 - Competition winner is back again. He's not a No. 10. Never has been. Never will be. Can we stop trying to shoe horn him in that position! He was poor from the outset and looked sluggish throughout. That summed his day up, when the Cardiff centre half left him for dead in the 2nd half when breaking away. Winnall - 6 - Got himself in some good positions in the 1st half, and seemed to cause their centre halves some problems. Unfortunate not to score with the blocked shot, but demonstrated his lack of quality when put through by Bannan, failing to see a simple lay off to put Murphy in. Rhodes - 5 - That Forest performance was an anomaly wasn't it? Borner - 6 - Out of the 3 centre halves, he handled Glaztel the best. Poor distribution though. Nuhiu - N/A - Not on long enough, but why did we continue to prat about with it at the back when we brought him on?! Overall... 1st half I actually thought we played alright, without ever excelling. We were sloppy for the goals, and it's becoming a bit of an issue now. Defensively, we've been so strong this season...but of late, we're getting sloppy and making too making simple errors. It gave us a massive uphill battle, but actually, at half time we deserved to be at the very least, level. Lees goal, along with two or three blocked shots around the six yard box and Bannan's shot superbly saved, should have seen us equalise. 2nd half though...utterly clueless. And the players have to take responsibility for that...but Monk has to shoulder some blame. His substitutions were hopeless. It gave us nothing different...in fact made us worse. Why take Iorfa off (I'm assuming he wasn't injured, he went on a rampaging run 30 seconds previous), and move Hutchinson back? Why not bring Odubajo on as a straight swap for Palmer? Hutchinson is good at a lot of things...playing as a marauding full back, is not one. And even down to bringing Nuhiu on, for Murphy... Nuhiu wants crosses into the box, why sacrifice a winger? Surely, Fox had to be sacrificed at some point, and Reach shifted to left back in a game we were chasing. Too much time was wasted, casually passing the ball about in our own half. There's method to playing that way...but you either have to have a team willing to come out and press (Cardiff were not moving from their 5-4-1) or you have to pass with purpose and move forward with it as a team. We did nothing. Played straight into Cardiff's hands. Bamba, Flint and Nelson's 2nd half was far too comfortable, given the situation of the game. If the 4-2-3-1 is an option Monk wants to deploy from time to time...then he has to get a player capable of playing that No. 10 role. Because at present, we look so turgid and one dimensional in that set up. Can’t argue with those ratings really although thought Murphy was slightly too high. Hutch was the best player.
