Clusky Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I get that people are angry, but I don’t understand the need for berating the guy on Twitter. He’s obviously shot of confidence in a poor team. He’s performed for Luton and Hudds when given chance, so there’s definitely a player there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taximark Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 My take on it is ....stay off SM Izzy, it was a terrible corner, coming on and apologising to the fans when feelings are through the roof is not a wise move at all...setting himself up for a few days of negativity, does he need it as a professional footballer? The sooner he goes back to his club the better - terrible footballer with loads of others that are collecting a wage here. But the sad thing is we have much bigger issues then IB on social media on the horizon with Chansiri running the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Among the amount of ‘professionals’ at this club, a surprisingly small amount can kick a football properly, control one, move into space for team mate, organise themselves or make the right pass selection.... Or as the much maligned Garry Monk used to say 'I dont coach them to play like that'....so they are either footballers with poor technique & not at Championship level,or they dont give a flying **** Which do you think it is? or do you think for some both?

I know if I'd done something as bad as that as a professional footballer i'd be straight on twitter throwing meat to the wolves expecting everyone to be nice.

mcmigo Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 7 minutes ago, Andrew6666 said: I think we have a current regime that is based on failure. Chairman, advisors, coaches (Not including the Darren Moore and new staff), and players. So yes we need to rid this club of all the failures (and they have proven to be that) and start again. We have too many players that are self-hyped, pundit hyped, that haven't given this club anything back. I think that a certain type of player - up and coming (lower league, possibly young released from PL) - 'wants to succeed' - an already established player from the higher leagues very rarely gets better, and just drops through the leagues as they get worse. The lower league players are cheaper also. We need to stop signing journeymen who have constantly failed, or not proven themselves elsewhere. Unfortunately our neighbours have done it successfully. Bolton have continued with Plan A. Nothing to do with 'type' of player. Marriot was superstar in league 1 a couple of years ago. Dele Bashiru and Brown are signed from Man City and Chelsea respectively. Windass you would say is a 'hungry' player who wants to succeed. They fit your profile. They just lack quality and confidence. And of course, 4 out of the 11 last night were home grown - Wildsmith, Palmer, Penney, Shaw. Should we scrap the youth set up?

Belfast Owl 2 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I don't know what people expect. When there are defeats like that emotions run high. Players do get scapegoated and its human nature. A game is 90 odd mins and a team effort but moments of inepitude can stand out worse than others. So we focus our ire on them. Woods in 93 for example, awful keeping but we gave away a free header and had other chances to win. Potters three corners.... Countless other examples. The fact Brown hasnt shown much this season and has seemed unfit and disinterested doesnt help when its him thats taken the corner. He now has the chance to do good this season but unfortunately people wont forget the corner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown is one of a number of players who got it utterly wrong.......but most didnt put their head over the parapet on social media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Soul Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I think his tweet is very brave. It was an awful corner (and an even worse outcome). Hes stood up and accepted responsibility. I don’t recall many of our other players doing the same this season .. and there have been a few mistakes made! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
