CourteenerOwl Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I cannot see a definitive quote from Moore or a question ever asked. Obviously, has got forgotten about a little bit due to the huge disappointment and hangover of the latest playoff defeat. Why on earth was he not on the bench instead of Kamberi? We had Patterson and Berahino on the bench but no real cover for the midfield three. FDB only started at MK and got MOM weeks before, going from that to not even in the squad? Byers Bannan and Luongo all looking leggy did not help the fact that an obvious young CM with an engine to get us up the pitch was not even on the bench? Hopefully he was injured because if it was a tactical decision it's up there with FF at left wing back and no strikers at Millwall. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A47Owl Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Perhaps he's upset DM. Classic response after a mom. Dropped. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CourteenerOwl Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 In that Bannan and Byers social media thing they kept referencing he is always late, so maybe something to do with this. Surely can't have been a footballing decision. Most of us would have had him on the bench that game at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Pulis Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Young players can be inconsistent. Moore probably felt with Hutchinson/Adeniran/Paterson that he had enough cover in midfield and preferred an extra more experienced body in attack in Kamberi. Still, I would've picked FDB.

McRightSide Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Paterson, Palmer and Hutchinson could all cover midfield if needed For such a game it makes complete sense to have another forward on the bench 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myHero Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Frozen Four I kind of get the impression Dunkley got frozen out during the season. That was a real disappointment to me as he was clearly a threat at set pieces and comfortable on the ball. That's life though, if your face doesn't fit... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Gets the old tin hat out but personally I don’t feel he is good enough just yet. A loan spell in league 2 or a lower league one side would hopefully do him some good. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upperwinngardensowl Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 We were struggling to get the ball through their lines in the middle and it was crying out for someone to carry the ball 20 yards forwards. I was surprised he wasn’t an option on the bench especially as he came on against MKD. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotherham Owl Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 If he was on the bench would anyone have brought him on? I definitely wouldn't have. We scored within a few minutes of the subs coming on. Yes one of the more attacking sibs, NML should have tracked back but that is the issue of chasing the game replacing defensive players with attacking ones. It is football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be back in next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
