Simply awful again
« on December 29, 2024, 05:01:10 pm by TonySoprano »
Too many players waiting for things to happen, instead of making it happen.

A manager who has no clue what his best team is.

No physicality whatsoever, a powder puff midfield lacking any quality.

Kyle hurst our best player on the bench again.

Molyneux completely awol yet again.

If Westbrook is fit he needs to start , he's out most progressive midfielder. None of the others are brave enough on the ball and willing to show for it in tight areas. We could barely string 2 passes together at times.

More positives than negatives for me. Their keeper made some superb saves. Stupid goal to concede however, should never be caught out 3 on 3, when you are defending a lead. Cant comment on the sending off as no idea if the ref did warn Gibson.

Not pretty but still very much in the mix.

McCann will get it sorted.

I remain confident.

Ah another meltdown because we don’t win, our fans are laughable.

Could we play and be better sure but you guys miss the the most important thing….

We are 3rd!!!!!!!!!!!

If your best player is Kyle Hurst then you're lucky to be top half

According to bbc radio Essex commentator, we are the best team to play there this season. Only saw last 20 mins. What was Gibson doing. Why do players think a yard will make a difference. He was told yet moved it again. Hope he gets fined.

Kyle is not our best player at all.
Has proven that when given a run of games he flatters to decieve.
Plays his best games either off the bench or when given the odd start.

Our best player by far is olowu.

Molly easnt the only player to go awol today. There doesnt seem to be any cohesion at the moment.

Last seadons runs molly came good when he could play a 1 touch lay off a turn and recieve it back on the run, but right now he doesnt have that option.

Won't be for much longer with performances the way they are, also the quality in this league this season is terrible.

First goal they have conceded in 8 games. It was never going to be easy so in my view a decent point.

Also on Molyneux I hope this new signing makes him second fiddle. He was best when Adelakun was here and the main man.

Apart from the blatant foul on Ironside I thought the ref did well up until that point.

I take it you didn’t enjoy it, got cold after halftime and it’s a fair way back, at least I can have a lie in the morning

Why was he a pillock?  Ref marked the spot and gibson put the ball down a yard in front of the mark.  Ref made them put the ball back so Gibson moved the foam to where he wanted.  Total bellend! hope he gets a stiff fine from the club.

Then why are we not doing anything to combat this??
That is the same as saying everytime we got in their box our strikers fired wide but their strikers hit it between the posts.

Its not a meltdown but currently we have been 2nd best too often

Agree with this. It was a step forward.

Give over of all the dark arts and gamesmanship that goes off every week, rubbing a ball against some foam gets you sent off.

We are such a frustrating team. Our passing and decision making in the second half was poor

First half we were great. We need to be more consistent.

Olowu MOM by a country mile

Certainly sounds like a stupid thing to do if he's already on a yellow. Refs won't miss those opportunities.

He has an immature streak in him and he's needs to realise football is a very short career and it could be passing him by.

Step in the right direction I thought !Moly is currently a passenger and needs benching, Clifton added some guile into the midfield and nearly scored, passing is a problem all over the pitch, Grant needs to find his best team and a winning formula, or like I predicted a few weeks ago he’ll lose the fans ! I know there’s a few already calling for his head, it’s too soon yet, give him the January window and let’s see where he takes us at the end of the season, anything other than promotion is a failure and he’ll be on thin ice !

Aye, another glittering McCann performance. It’s all the players he’s brought to the clubs fault though. Can’t wait for late Feb for all the kids he is about to bring in to bed into the squad.

That was a ok away performance against a team that make it really hard for you. The red card was a joke and ended the chances of us winning. Their keeper kept them in the game with a couple of good saves.

Moly needs a rest. His 6 month purple patch is over and he’s gone back to being the player he has been for the rest of his career.

Agree Joe was totally on it again today and was definitely MoM.
Gibson was absolutely stupid, the ref told him and therefore he deserved the yellow.
There was no need to move the ball he wasn’t gaining any advantage whatsoever, the guy needs to get his head sorted.

Olowu was magnificent. Their wingers and centre forward were impressive as were both goalkeepers. Molyneux has lost his impetus.
Overall they matched us comfortably. We need to be quicker on the ball and far more imaginative when the opposition does not allow us space.
