Yeboah

[Nudga]

Never seen a professional player attempt to control a ball with his knees until last night (Yeboah that is)

[ForsolongaRover]

Having invested in a long contract (2 years?) in Hurst and knowing what his potential is, it may be unfair to put him on the bench because when he comes on he plays as though he’s under pressure to prove himself. That doesn’t suit his game.

Sbarra is literally a lightweight and seems to get outmuscled which weakens his ability to stay on or challenge for the ball, so perhaps he is better coming off the bench when the opposition are tiring.

It really does seem doubtful that Hurst will re-ignite his skill and confidence unless he get a bit more game time.

Not for me, he was insistent in the first half of just passing the ball back instead of trying to be a winger and run down the line?

Not sure whats happened to Hurst, playing in pre season like a man possessed, not took it into the season at all

I can agree to a certain aspect but who crossed the ball when Billy Sharp hit the cross bar answer Sbarra.
None of the three other attacking midfielders in Yeboah Hurst or Gibson beat their man and put in a cross.

Another player that is one bad pass away from having zero confidence. Great run for the goal last night though. At that point nothing was happening and it had gone stale.

To be fair I thought that, didn't look to be playing a wide role at all, but then Grant suggested in his post-match interview he had asked him to play more central rather than out wide.

Thought the same. I think he was a weak link. He didn't try to get past his man. As a wide man, you have to keep your marker guessing so even if you don't succeed, first time, keep that element of suprise. He was too safe, checking back all the time.

Wasn't that Fleming?

yes I’ve just checked

[Chris Black come back]

Caveat first for all the knuckleheads who live life in entirely binary, black and white vision. McCann is a great manager and will highly likely get us up.

But. He talks about players being brave. I know sometimes you have to pick sides to cancel other sides, etc. His selections sometimes could do with being more brave. Hurst played in the 10 pre-season but not a sniff once season starts. Likewise last night not really playing with both wingers. He was very brave end last season with really aggressive selections. He sometimes could do with some more of that.

The way you have described Sbarra directly applies to Hurst

[Ryaldinhio]

Another poor showing yesterday. Tripping over his own legs, 9 times out of 10 can't get the ball under control and when he does he was just running into players, not even a challenge for them to take the ball off him.

Got to go back in Jan and create a space to bring in someone different.

[Reg of the Rovers]

Get rid in Jan, and keep him off the pitch until then. Shockingly bad player.

[Fal]

He shouldn’t be making the matchday squad at all, feels like a loan signing from the Blunt era.

Feel like the only thing he would bring eventually is to fall over himself in the box and some unsighted official to point to the spot!

[Prez]

Hate to criticise players especially young ones, but he’s clearly not good enough. Definitely needs sending back in January.

[Metalmicky]

Bet he's great in training though.....

[BobG]

I'm not suggesting any similarity at all, but Peter Kitchen was really rubbish in his first 12-18 months. Yeboah may be rubbish, or, it's possible we should never have taken him to 'bring him on'.

[Move DRFC]

Probably needed a NL loan playing every week. He's barely getting a kick and it can't be easy to make much impact in the short cameos he's getting. Especially being so young and potentially a level above his capability. Sure GM will have his January replacement in his mind already.

[steve@dcfd]

Young lad not getting game time expected to come on and change a game when Molyneux Gibson and Hurst have failed to score. Gibson was unlucky. But it’s a trend at home. Yes he’s not shown the talents he must have but is playing wide his preferred position at U 21 he played more down the middle.
So let’s not throw him under the bus and if our forward attacking players continue to fail at home then there’s more than Yeboah wants changing in January.
