Was it tactical or injury. He wasn't having a great game but no worse than anyone else. Missed his creativity. Captain Rowe looks like he's already halfway down the A1 on his way to uncle Darren

I think you're ahead of him, on the way to Charlton atm.
-
Didn't see him on the pitch at the end of the game either which is not like him
-
Give the manager credit we were better 2nd half and looked better in midfield copps isn’t untouchable

Well I thought we were devoid of ideas in the second half
-
Copps is still a class act. We missed him.
-
Hurt his back apparently. Probably our best player up to half time.
-
We weren't better because of Rowe the team just played better
-
Copps pulled off at half time?
I wonder if that’s what put his back out.

We were the better team for the first half hour.

Whiteman and Kane are still way off the pace
-
Herbie was woeful today

I was really hoping Kane would step up to the plate and was expecting him and Copps to hold the attacking midfield roles behind John giving Wilkes a free reign to roam about and cut in which he does brilliantly. Unfortunately Herbie has looked a shadow of his former self since his return from injury.....

I’ll tel you who was woeful today. ESDAILLES LEFT FOOT.
For crying out loud are you deliberately trying to wind us all up or is it that you are living on another planet and have never seen association football before.
If it’s the former you are succeeding and if its the latter I suggest you shut up as you clearly don’t know what your talking about.
-
Herbie was woeful today
No he wasn’t.. not at his best, but woeful.??
-
Ok Herbie was world class today as was marquis.pillock
-
Hopefully copps will be fit for Friday, we really need him
-
Copps pulled off at half time? Lucky Copps!!
-

Who said anything about world class.
Just in case you didn’t notice there were 2 teams out there. Charlton are the best team to play us here twice imo. One team is going to try and stop the other one. :that:
Give our players a break will you, they gave everything they’ve got and we are still in this. Herbie Kane is 20 yrs old and has been a revelation to us. He & Whiteman have been outstanding this season.
BE PROUD if that’s possible, I AM. :that:
We lost by 1, anyone would think it was 4/5 the way you are ranting.

Do us all a favour and do one..
-
I thought Coppinger was our best player first half. Made tome and space for himself on the ball when everyone else was hurrying. Had a great effort brilliantly saved. Assumed he must have been injured to be withdrawn. Rowe offered very little second half.
-
All I used to get at half time was half an orange
-
“ Copps pulled off at half time “ ....lucky for some !
-
He was injured. I actually think Crawford or Sadlier should play their on Friday.

Is he injured padge.
I can’t see anything that tells us that.
If so, is it likely to keep him out on Friday.
-
GM said he hooked Copps at ht as he thought we were lacking energy first half,wether that was to disguise a injury who knows..
If it was that I would have kept Copps on and took off either Kane who is struggling with something or Sadlier who struggled to get into the game..However that is one of the drawbacks of having a player like Copps who can only play 70 mins, it limits other changes...
-
Blair and Andrew both played with huge energy all game. Rest of team looked knackered.
-
Apparently it was tactical according to Liam hoden on twitter. Perhaps 2-0 down GM thought we needed more pace on the pitch.

See, I thought Sadlier was good yesterday. Linked really well with Andrews and got far more joy on the left flank than Wilks was getting on the right.

I agree albeit not his best attacking game in getting shots off or crosses in, he defended well and his link up play was v good.
-
Maybe Copps was rested ahead of possibly playing 120 mins on Friday.?
-
I rated Sadlier too. It didn't come off for him too much, but he's got a good footy brain, has skills and a great shot. Maybe lacking a bit of solid confidence but that will come with experience and beefing up physically and mentally a tad. A pre season will help. Great to see McCann playing him so much.

In that case Tommy Rowe was not the man to bring on

And that's why we love this game and can talk for hours about it..I thought Sadlier was totally ineffective and Wilks was much more of a threat..Our group had the same discussion,some agreed with me and a couple thought he was really good..Always a game of different opinions..
-
What does the Blades lad have to do to get a look in? McCann seems to prefer Alfie May.
-
Copps has been our best player for years and still is at the age of 38, but sometimes I think he slows the attack down with his frequent turning with the ball. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. On Saturday I didn't think it did.
-
Regarding Herbie, he seems to be trying to emulate Copps but hasn't quite got the masters touch yet.
-
Have we actually played the formation we had when Kane and Whiteman were injured since they came back in? We looked tighter at the back, got the best out of Copps in a more central role and scored ten goals in four games. Compare that with six goals in the last five. I like to see us go with that formation that got the best out of Copps with Whiteman and Kane in the side.

Were you looking on your crystal ball BB?
We didn’t play until Sunday.😉

Oh aye! :blush:

Mega funny. You missed your vocation fella.
