toppOwl Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I keep hearing that certain players have downed tools, won’t play for the manager etc but who are they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Just watch them. Yeah, some are a bit crap, but others are absolutely phoning it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0114 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 All of them yesterday. Watch the goals it’s disgusting. First goal Dawson pulls a shocker but every single player in the box just stands watching, no reactions. 3rd goal... Windass Fletcher and Da Cruz go to press but just get caught in no mans land. Brentford cut through and literally the entire centre of midfield is vacated. Brentford easily pick holes in the defence. last goal. Bannan stands on the edge of the box watching Brentford. Disgraceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Bannan one of the main culprits, the guys an absolute joker but no one wants to see/admit it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reaction after the late goal v Charlton also didn’t look like the reaction of players who are refusing to play, Fletcher is another who you can’t put into this category and add Murphy, Fox and Iorfa. its all very confusing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he’s captain. The amount of times I’ve seen opposition walk past Bannan, he spends his match days jogging around the pitch and giving other players abuse. If I was in that team I would have lamped him a long time ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's your perception and opinion on his ability. I doubt any of them have really given up. It is more a collective slump in which everything they try is going wrong. More a loss of confidence and morale most likely contributed to because of the current state of the club generally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torres Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) I don’t particularly think they have “given up” I just think all are out of form and most are not good enough anyway Add to that the constant change of personnel and formation and you’ve got the disaster we find ourselves in Edited March 8, 2020 by torres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Iorfa, Fletcher, Forestieri and Murphy at least seem to be trying, although they were all still poor yesterday, there are 2-3 like Fox and Palmer who probably do care but just aren't performing and aren't good enough, the rest don't seem to give a s**t. And the one player who does give it his all has been banished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogbad Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I decided it would be easier to list the ones that haven't downed tools, here it is....... . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentwalker Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 For me one the the things over the last few games is the quality of set pieces. Especially against city. This should have been the main weapon but every corner has been shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the same here mate. Totally confused by who Monk is implying is the problem. Some have been bombed out of the squad so we know them, but who in his eyes are the problem players from yesterday’s match? And the hell does he keep picking them? It’s the most bizarre situation ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that I am saying is that it is clear that there is something badly wrong at present that is affecting the way the team is playing. But that doesn't equate to giving up. It is a collective loss of confidence and morale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
