davetherivelinowl Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) No thread yet so I thought I'd start one. Here's your chance to tell everyone how bad we were. Credit to Hartlepool, they played good football, outplayed us and passed us off the park. This was no fluke they were much better than us. It will be interesting to see how many of these players will never be forgiven for this performance by the fans or the manager. Surely he's seen enough to discard Sow, Berahino, Brown, Byers and possibly Shodipo. Wildsmith 5 - have even less confidence in him than BPF. Not sure how much he was at fault for the second goal but he went missing when high balls were in the box Brown 3 - the lowest mark I've ever given anyone; that ridiculous own goal gives me the excuse. Could become legendary as one of our worst ever players. Brennan - 7 MoM did make an error or two but also won a lot battles both on the air and on the ground. He's a stronger defender than I've given him credit for and his distribution is mostly excellent. I love how he thinks about where to head it to. Paterson - 4 a catalogue of errors. A nightmare. Shodipo - 4 - was made to look poor because the (4th division) full-back was too good for him Byers - 4 - tried to stroll through the game and it just didn't work. Almost every pass was a back pass. Offered nothing going forward as shown by his 'shot at goal'. Wing - 5 - better than Byers but not by much. Again, no urgency. Dele-Bashiru - 7 - the best of our midfielders. Did little wrong and did plenty of good runs, passes and tackles Corbeanu - 6 - not much came off for him but he was basically our only threat. Shame his shooting is sometimes so wild. Berahino - 5 - showed a couple of nice touches and made some (wasted) good runs but had no impact on the game. Sow - 4 - the mystery is solved. Now we know why Sow hasn't featured for the first team. Was a complete waste of space. When he was put clean through he was laughably outpaced by their defender. Bannan - 4 - added little when he came on, misplaced too many passes and loses a point for that stupid tackle near the end. Premeditated assaults like that should be red-carded but they never are Windass - 5 - wandered all over and did very little Hunt - 5 - not noticeably more productive than Shodipo but defended better Agbontahoma - 5 - looked out of his depth really but give him time Adedoyin - n/a Did he even touch the ball?

Are you sure you are marking Dele Bashiru on tonight’s performance and not one of his from a few weeks ago?…you description of his performance doesn’t ring any bells with the 90 minutes I saw……same comments for Corbeanu as well Edited December 1, 2021 by Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch McLovin Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Brennan did ok. Corbeanau gave it a go but nothing came off for him. At least he tried. The rest of the team were actually pathetic !!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy Repperton Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Dele-Bashiru was woeful tonight in a game where everyone was terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyonedavidhirst Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 That’s up there as one of the worst performances I’ve seen. Cant even put my finger on why, yes a few 2nd string players, a few out of position, but we’ve had all of that with the first team. Brown was truly awful even without contemplating the own goal and Wing appears to be on a downward spiral. I’ll give the MOM to BrennZan purely as he was the least experienced out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Henderson Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) Do we really have to do this, can't we just pretend it never happened? Then in the morning I can wake up to Pam Ewing.

WalthamOwl Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Corbeanu by a distance. Probably the only one that deserves any credit tonight. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 The worrying thing is that Moore signed most of these players that performed so badly tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I voted for Agbontohoma, kept a clean sheet the whole time he was on the pitch. Not one other player can say they achieved anything as good as that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Tonight’s game showed a lot of the characters we’ve got In games like this you want to fringe players to come in and prove how they are too good to be left out and force their way in. Ours have the attitude of “if I’m not good enough to play in the league then you can do one on a cold night against Hartlepool in the papa John’s” They have cemented their place as players of last resort 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
