Paterson should have been on a lot earlier. Giving him 5 mins to change the game is ridiculous. And Reach should have been hooked for Shaw after an hour at the latest, he was like the invisible man and fannied about and lost it when he did get the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSlicer Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 People need to realise this club is relegated already. I have no fault with what Moore is doing at the minute, which in my opinion is assessing for next season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebies who no one else wanted. The rest of the squad are adequate and with adequate forwards they would be more than capable of getting the club to a much higher position in the league. The forwards are not taking the pressure off the rest of them team and obviously not scoring enough. We could go through every manager in the country and nothing will change until we sign forwards with a track record of scoring. It’s midfield that’s the problem, we don’t create anything. It’s not like we miss loads of chances every week. We could have Kane up front and it wouldn’t make much difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 If he brought on three nuclear subs it wouldn’t make any difference to us winning or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotherham with 10 to go he takes Bannan off. Today Rhodes has put a decent shift in occupying their defence and admittedly was tiring. The obvious change is to bring Patterson on to also occupy them. He brings the woeful Jack Marriot on to play the lone striker role. Imo he’s making continued odd subs. I would have brought Shaw on for Reach at that time to add some fresh legs in midfield, change the forward set up later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris shows promise and a few tricks but ultimately never scores and you can count his assists each season on one hand.. not good enough. Reach is anonymous unless he plays on the left, which managers often don’t do. And even when he does play left like today he’s basically downed tools and given up, doesn’t get enough assists or goals. Bannan our main creative force but he’s not scored this season apart from a couple of pens. Not getting many assists either. Pelupessy offers nothing going forward at all. Windass when played deep does nothing and never passes. So yes it doesn’t matter who’s up front because they won’t get any chances. Rhodes had one chance and scored and didn’t have much chance to do anything else. If you stuck Kane up there he’d have scored the Rhodes chance, but he wouldn’t be able to work with the service we provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you they began to 'Old man' the ref none more than Cantwell, it really pees me off when our players shake the hands of some one like him at the end of the game, I would be honest and tell him to "Feck off, you cheating Ctnu".

Also, in the 1st half we were passing and moving the ball quicker than usual and it payed dividends, we actually looked as is we might score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cantwell, Aarons, Pukki, Buendia....they had Hugill on the bench fml. Sides full of quality. First half we scared the life out of them, 7 shots on target... I thought we played decent. Under Monk, Thompson, Pulis we looked lacking in confidence and had nothing about us I thought today showed the first signs that we have made the right appointment tbh. IF we go down we will do well with Moore or if not I honestly can't see anyone better who I'd have instead right now. Said on SSN that was Pukis 50th goal in 75 matches for Norwich. We can only dream of a striker with that strike rate Edited March 14, 2021 by darra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincowl Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 He certainly hasn’t made a positive impact, which is what you hope for from a new appointment when in a relegation battle. Think Chansiri should have brought someone in who was happy to play three at the back and thus work with the squad we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's assessing the squad, put out arguably our strongest XI and we are already seeing benefits performance wise against superior opposition.

I too would like a better quality midfield, but we need to focus on the forwards which should have been the number one priority in the close season, but it was never really addressed. We are in danger of going round in circles so will leave it there, but thanks for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We set on Moore who is 4231, it's not set in stone our strongest XI is 352 we proved that today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
