Popular Post Morepork Posted March 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) It’s not grit it’s a false dawn........We’ve seen this time and time again from these players. Every once in a while they con us into thinking they could turn a corner and show some metal, only to then revert back to type.

I just hope Moore isn’t fooled in to offering many new contracts to this bunch of players. Time to get rid of as many as possible. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emilianenko Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I’m not Paterson’s biggest fan but he did a great job in midfield yesterday. He roughed them up and they didn’t like it. We won a lot of second balls yesterday which has been seriously lacking for a few seasons. I do also fear it is another false dawn though with these players. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Another stupid foul to give away in a dangerous position. Could have cost us a goal that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither am I but maybe that’s where he should be played for rest of season as we’re clearly too nice in midfield... and he certainly ain’t a striker... or a right back/centre half/goalkeeper. Pleased with the win but seen it too many times before, certainly not holding my breath and fully expecting league 1 next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never gave their midfield a second on the ball. It’s his best role for us, and in the absence of Luongo he should start ahead of Shaw and Brown. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wouldn’t even see a dip in his goal returns, as he’s a better player coming on to the ball than playing with his back to goal. If we drop down next season, for me, he has to play in midfield Edited March 21, 2021 by gurujuan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too late bow, I assume the pennys dropped that need ro atract interest from other clubs...or have listened to KW re: not going down without a fight We were crap at 3pm yesterday and we still are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogbad Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 They haven't shown any consistent grit for at least 18 months & they aren't going to now. Yesterday was an occasional blip to the usual spineless dross. Normality will prevail for the next match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 S#/thousery of top order I love it! Although it's too late now. I didn't realise that Barnsley played like they do I, we matched them and beat them at their own game. A false dawn indeed but just enjoy the very few high points in this shocking season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horny owl Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I’m glad most people see this for what it is I’m over the moon we beat the scrubbers but this set of players need to go No way will they be what’s needed to battle our way out of league one 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I like Paterson. Plays like a drunk and can be a bit of an enigma with moments of quality and horror in equal measure and at random. But this kind of thing is what is dying in football and it’s worse off for it. Everyone hates an opposing player who does it, but you need a cynical player or two in your side. The measures Wednesday took to unsettle/stop Dike got criticised by some but I’m all for it. He gave as good as he got as Wildsmiths knee will remember 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we drop down next season, for me, he has to play in midfield Tony Pulis said this in October. The problem is we don’t have a physical centre forward so he’s had to fill in. Despite the stick he gets on here if we go down I bet a championship team buys him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Incremental improvements, better control of the ball, much more attacking intent, better positional shape, a 90 minute performance....looking forward to more improvement after more time on the training pitch. It's nice to see a manager (and coaching team) having a material impact in a positive way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
