TodwickOwl Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Our fighting squad is the team at Bristol - that’s our 11, the ones who can compete and it’s the side with balance. They’ll get us mid table this year. Reach - no wonder he’s not in the first 11, dire tonight and certainly useless in the middle. Da Cruz - getting better each game, looks after the ball well Final third - not very clinical from open play, we look a bit laboured trying to string bits together approaching their box. Murphy and Lee have been better tonight mind. We need to give Lee another year contract - still clever and still good enough at this level, it’s unfortunate we can’t play him 3 times a week. Finally, Odubajo - good in places tonight, but a complete liability at the back and we can’t afford that. Needs to be shown the door - he will ultimately cost us points over the season. Oh and Rhodes....?!?! Not sure what he offers. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HarryPlopper Posted July 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) On another night Wickham may have scored several. Not our night. And Rhodes has had three decent games on the trot, he's been exactly what people have said he isn't - a hard working striker that comes deep and puts a tackle in, holds the ball and looks for a pass to bring others in. Not bad for a so called bog liner. Edited July 1, 2020 by HarryPlopper 9 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcclesallOwl Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 They just have the much better players A mistake from someone who Monk will most likely look to get rid of and then more poor defending for the other two goals Said similar after Bristol City - can see the way Monk wants us to play but just needs players to fit the system 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were sailing until Odubajo did that If we got to half time 0-0 we might’ve stood a chance Looked like it knocked wind out of our sails when we got done with the pen 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philb125 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I think you see tonight this difference of a good team vs our team. We played good football without really troubling them, not just due to our inability to convert good possession to cutting chances, but more so the fact we got anywhere near a dangerous break and we were pulled back or scythed down. We’ll play worse than that and win I’m sure! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Not sure I can disagree with any of the OP Cannot for the life of me understand why you play Reach centrally. It doesn’t work, never has. Wide left, at a push wide right or bench. Rhodes is shot. But that’s been obvious for the last 2 years 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDO Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Our paper thin squad and lack of quality throughout is a major worry. Our best players are on loan and they'll be leaving in a few weeks. Worrying times especially with the efl ruling imminent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RUMBELOWS91 Posted July 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2020 Never a 0-3, but Palmer-Iorfa-Odubajo as a back 3 being 'protected' by Harris and Murphy against top of the league opposition was always going to be a tough ask. Just hope we stay positive There was some good stuff tonight. 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otley Owl Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I've tried, but I can't really muster any enthusiasm for football or swfc at the moment. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch McLovin Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I thought Odubajo did well and it wasn’t a pen but shouldn’t have got in the position for him to dive. He is however not a CH we should have just played Brennan I know it’s not ideal sending a kid in on debut against these but needs must. Reach plays left wing back or not at all and Da Cruz needs to start instead of Rhodes. We weren’t that bad but it’s another tonking at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Man for man there’s only 3 or 4 of ours that’d be near their matchday squad, let alone the starting XI. They’re just a much better team than us in every way. That said, we were in the game til the penalty but we didn’t make it count — we’re capable of playing some ok stuff in the opposites’ half but we don’t look dangerous in and around the box at all. The stream I was watching was crap and I missed large chunks of the match — did their keeper have a save to make? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I thought we played well tonight. We dominated the first half and their goal came against the run of play. Attacking we looked a good side and against another side we could have scored a couple but sadly you’re only as good as your weakest link.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debram Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Fine margins but the extra class came through, nice to see us battling all the way to the end and showing some spirit, sad that they resorted to some clinical fouls at crucial times for us, very frustrating. Need to keep our heads up. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owlsontheup Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 If they had shown that much effort all season, we may have had a better outcome. Thought that was a respectable performance, does it help having no one in the ground?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
