nevthelodgemoorowl Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 A decent performance until the penalty, chasing the game always going to be difficult against a side that pressed us very well for possession. With four possible wingers on the pitch it was difficult in the middle and Luongo and Bannan were both far from their best. Perhaps Hunt is showing enough to share that particular responsibility. Iorfa was the standout performer for me and Wickham put a good shift in. The weekend should be more productive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Wildsmith - 6 3rd goal a bit soft, but I actually thought his all round game tonight was better than against Bristol Palmer - 5 first half was ok, but then lazy Liam reappeared in the 2nd half Iorfa - 7 held together a makeshift defence well, some great blocks but a few slips too Odubajo - 6 so difficult to rate. Some really great bits and then an absolute brain donor moment twice. I like that he got involved though, so scores higher than Palmer who hid for large chunks Murphy - 7 dangerous going forward, grafted going backwards, just needs to release the ball a little earlier, but become a very important player Bannan - 7 would have been a 9 after the first half but struggled to get a foothold in the 2nd Reach - 6 toiled and tried but just not suited to that position at all Luongo - 5 poor night on that back of two strong performances. Perhaps a touch of fatigue Harris - 6 still flattering to deceive for me. Gets an extra point for nearly getting a shot on target with a great hit, but wasted many good opportunities once again Rhodes - 4 May as well give up trying him Wickham - 8 top performance, especially when pretty isolated alongside ineffective Rhodes and scarce service from Harris. So strong and can count himself unlucky not to be afforded a couple of better chances Edited July 1, 2020 by McRightSide 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Went for Wickham - 8 Getting better game by game. I thought loaning him was a bizarre risk but it seems to be working well for both him and us since the restart. His strength and balance are superb. 7 - Murphy, Iorfa 6 - Wildsmith, Palmer, Bannan, Harris, Rhodes 5 - Luongo, Reach, Odubajo, Lee, Da Cruz I thought Moses was superb first half except for 5 seconds when his concentration and studs slipped. I thought he was very poor second half, but then so was everyone. I think if we marked each half in isolation last night we’d all be giving 6-9s and 3-6s respectively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Murphy for me, constant threat throughout the game I know West Brom have better players than us But our lads put a great shift in All three goals came from our errors To me the game showed that with this manager, we can match the better teams, we will be a force if Monk is allowed to bring in who he wants Odubajo, I just don't know what to say about him, his heart is in the right place, but his feet aren't, he falls down more than my wife 2 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Moses cost a pen and lost his man for 2nd headed goal which he defended like a typical fb, weakly. Monk was not 'forced' to play 3 cb's when only iorfa available. Palmer less calamitous than moses tho so maybe iorfa and palmer in a back 4 and 433 if no other option for that 1 game, but no way should he have played moses cb (2 goals culpable for). He still chose to play palmer cb when borner was fit tho and wasn't forced to do that before west brom. As soon as borner back would play 433 and ditch the full backs at centre back idea. It easily comes undone when aerial crosses come in (2 goals like this conceeded vs west brom), which they will without proper full backs to stop them. Squad is very thin now but palmer is not a cb, moses even less so with decision making imo. And monk never plays reach in his best position on the left, he doesn't get the best out of squads so will never succeed here or anywhere else imo. If you disagree feel free to share why you think he will succeed here, but hopefully dc decides before he gets a single penny this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A E Neuman NYowl Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I have been very critical of Monk, some of the performances and his random team selections before COVID were really poor. Since the lockdown we have come back with a modern system and I am glad he stuck with this system last night. If Monk is to remain in charge, he needs to stick with with this system and we need to buy players who fit in rather than the scattergun approach we have used over the last few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet Wickham was delighted when Monk told him before the game that his strike partners for the evening would be Rhodes, followed briefly by da Cruz and then Nuhiu!! To be fair if he wasnt expecting one of those three he might need his head examining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
