trumbullowl Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Pelupessy has started 8 games this season 1W, 4D, 3L. First 3 with Westy in goal,1W, 1D, 1L so that leaves 5 games with Dawson in goal, no wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should not be in the squad and Monk subbing him at half-time two games in a row says a lot about his selection but is there really any need to resort to childish name calling given you don't think it is his fault? Gi'o'er mate. I'm not calling him names, I'm decribing his style of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Reachs left peg Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I can see pelupessy getting a new deal, monk keeps picking him so seems to like him, in the summer can see Lee and hutch being let go windass will go back and luongo is a crock, would only leave bannan so joey will get a new deal and be a squad man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all about doing the business on a Saturday afternoon and the players he picks don’t do it while the ones sat at home generally do when selected. Irritating to say the least especially when paying a fortune for tickets spot on bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheriwozgod Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I have seen plenty of Pelupessy , and I get to see the young uns now and again and no agenda , just being honest , and even allowing for not knowing how a young un reacts to first team football I would happily see Ben Hughes, Alex Hunt, Liam Waldock, Connor Grant or Liam Shaw get a chance rather than watch JP looking so out of his depth anymore.

Westfield Owl Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Our central midfield is a huge concern. It need major surgery in the summer transfer window. Pelupessy just isn’t good enough. Needs replacing when released this summer. Bannan is our best midfielder but he’s wasted in a midfield two. Luongo has played a disappointingly low amount of games. At 27 years old I was expecting better. Lee is a decent option but he’s in the final years of his career. Needs replacing if released this summer. The Hutchinson situation has been done to death. Needs replacing when released this summer. A total lack of forethought by the club has created this mess. Baffling that more wasn’t done to strengthen this area in the summer and January transfer windows. Why have we left ourselves in such a ridiculous position?

Doesn't command his area and his indecision spreads to the defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) I really wish Monk would play one of the young lads in the team ahead of Pessy. Baffling that Pessy is starting games, he offers us next to nothing. I hope Pessy is let go at the end of the season and pray that he isn’t the type of player Monk wants in his team next season.

WL_Owl_JC Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 A point that hasn't really come up - we lack leadership in defence. When Westwood is playing, he becomes the leader, essentially martialling everyone into position and helping them to stay focused. Dawson is a good keeper but he doesn't have the experience or maybe the personality to be a strong leader in that regard. So we're then left with the centre backs, and it appears like Lees has lost some confidence, but he really is the guy that needs to show leadership right now. He seems quiet these days. Iofra is playing there out of necessity and Borner seems to blow hot and cold. What I don't see is anyone in that John Terry mould, vocally keeping the intensity and focus across the back line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And have only started five times this season, all in the last month. So what you are actually saying is that last season we did fine with those two starting, and in the past month we have been crap with them and crap without them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
