Sterry

[Nudga]

Did he have a mental break down in the 2nd half?

[Sammy Chung was King]

The minutes on the pitch will have helped him. He will only improve after tonight.

[GazLaz]

Warned everyone about him by the way. Shouldn’t have touched him with a barge pole. Tonight summed him up.

What happened?

F**k me, ‘The Oracles’ woken up with a fizz & a pop like a cheap firework to add his ten penneth.

[Nudga]

What happened?

He was gash, couldn't believe it when Olowu came on to play on the same side of the pitch as sterry

Has Gaz had it off with your dear beloved?

Dread to think what she looks like.

I thought the back 4 were good tonight, we looked lot more solid. McGrath and wood were superb.
And I thought both full backs were very good.
Midfield didn’t come to life until we were losing, Ironside looks injured.

Saturday is gonna be tough if we’re without Bailey, close, molyneux and maybe Ironside

What’s wrong with Bailey?

[dickos1]

After the tackle by cook he couldn’t put any weight on his leg. Looked like a medial knee ligament to me

Actually she’s a he & he looks like a Greek God.

He finished the game made of granite

[Lesonthewest]

Cook is a dirty t-at, just wish we had a player to match how he plays.

[Chris Black come back]

Sterry is an oddity. Clearly being injured so much means you can’t reach a complete judgement but he looks totally at ease on the ball and pings some real quality at times, but can get totally done over on a regular basis, yet somehow get back to recover the situation. You can see how he would stand out in non league. Didn’t once see him get beyond their defence and put a ball in though, as Maxwell did.

[roversdude]

Sterry is a cracking player but clearly needs a bit more game time - he was blowing out his arse in the first half, surprised he finished the game tbh

[Pancho Regan]

I thought he had a good game.
Made a couple of excellent last-ditch tackles in the first half.

[RoversInSpain]

Thought defensively we were decent.Wood and McGrath worked well, Maxwell put in a right shift and looked tough and aggressive.
Can’t understand Sterry getting this sort of criticism. Does appear to get caught out but then so often recovers well, looks in need a bit of fitness training ( or simply a good run of matches)

And then Olowu came on delivered a hospital ball, passed it straight to one of their forwards then ran brainlessly into trouble, again just outside our area , that was pretty much his first 3 touches. Though he did do a very good long pass on his 4th touch. The poor lad needs to stay well away from a football pitch.

[Redroy]

Soft as shit last night. Neshed at least 4 or 5 challenges. No wonder he gets injured loads.

Your enlightened view on this thread would appear to be in the minority, unless you’ve been wooed by the bollox GasLass churns out on another thread?

[donnievic]

I don’t think I he was that bad last night up against winger/winger who was no slouch and at times was left one on one with him with a lot of space to work with

[Bessie Red]

Molyneux gave him no assistance last night. When Carty switched to Sterry's side their wing back didn't have anywhere near as much space & time.

[ncRover]

It’s interesting to see how different players get held to different standards depending on whether they are fan favourites or not.

Sterry’s performance level was no different to Maxwell’s. Which was ok.

In the best 4-3-3 I can think of at Klopp’s Liverpool, the attacking full backs were given help by the midfielders and wide forwards. Both full backs completely isolated last night.

[idler]

Sterry was regularly left with two opponents in the first half last night. What do you do, mark one tight and leave the other or stand somewhere between both? I thought that he did OK and was a bit unlucky with the bounce of the ball in some of his challenges.

Wondered when Olowu would get some blame, and here you pop!

He made a bad pass, most L2 players do, its normal, yet you have no words for McGrath who gave the free kick away for the goal, you also had no words for him on Saturday when he gave the ball twice in succesion in dangerous areas, but you jump on Olowu straight away!

[Goole Rover]

Cook is a dirty t-at, just wish we had a player to match how he plays.

That’s exactly what we need. When I was playing in the local leagues the aggressive forward always made it difficult for you. Still got the scars from Houghton Main.

We’ve got one, Ironside.

In relation to the goal, you’ll actually see Close being incredibly weak (which sums up most of our defensive efforts over the years) and get easily muscled off the ball. McGrath showed some tenacity and grit (can’t remember much of that since Whiteman) , and in the words of the commentator ‘that’s a good foul, as the attacker was looking very dangerous’
As for the wall and Jones positioning,  well that’s open to debate, so no, no mention about McGrath, you’re right.

[dickos1]

McGrath and wood were both really good last night. Olowu takes too many risks that he’s not good enough to take.

[Chris Black come back]

Olowu also gets bullied too easily for a man of his size and stature.
