I don't agree mark that the players don't care , we've not played at all badly tonight

Maybe just not good enough then.

Well I think tonight there's genuinley been a bit of misfortune

And a lot of passing backwards.

And a lot of passing backwards.

Because Torp can't head a ball with an open goal in front of him.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Because Torp can't head a ball with an open goal in front of him.

He was stretching. It appears Rudoni didn’t give him a shout. Rudoni had a tap in.

 

[WestEndAgro]

WBA not even out of first gear.

 

[Robinshio]

Because Torp can't head a ball with an open goal in front of him.

Nor can sheaf

 

[The Philosopher]

Wrong leadership on the pitch.

We’ve played ok but we move the ball way to slowly, but we should have scored and Rudoni should have been shouting at torp to leave that cross .

 

[ptr]

They care but Lampard needs to be strong now and drop a few that are nowhere near it atm.

Collins, Milan and Rudoni. Embarrassing.

We're going through the motions, there is very little will in what we're doing. Hence the slow play, the turning back, the lack of movement.

…the moment when EMC stopped chasing a ball that it looked like he could’ve kept in.

 

[SkyBlueAussie]

Bassette only had to lob the Goalie in the first half, and why didn't he just bloody shoot in that second half chance.
And why take Tats off when he's the only one crossing into the box?

 

[stevefloyd]

Lampard doesn't have a lot of options, Sheaf isn't a leader , Eccles is just not good enough and Torp is a luxury player at absolute best Rudoni at least can control the ball but does fuck all with it, we played ok tonight but playing Bassette from the start was a mistake but again Lampards only option is Simms who is just not looking great at all

 

[stevefloyd]

Mowatt taking the piss now just said its not the first time he's scored against Brad used to do it all the time in training

 

[Shannerz]

I don't believe they don't care, but some of the recruitment has been very poor, and Sheaf and MvE don't even look half the players they were last year. I don't know what's going on with those two.

 

[Nick]

I said it on the other thread; pisses me right off when we lose and then see the players stand laughing and joking with the opposition.

 

[Alkhen]

Nah not for me, it's not the issue. a couple just aren't good enough yet, a few are knackered (MvE poor bloke has no back up).

I think they lack belief. The defence are shaky and nerves get to them all. That first goal was such bad luck. But we looked ok when we got our tails up for a bit in the second half.

2nd goal was a shambles and highlights the problem we have at the back. Would love an older head to come in and be a calming influence. I actually don't think we are far off being very competitive. A few good bits of business and we'll look a lot better

Dovin and Kitching need to come into the team

Sheaf looks out of sorts , EMC very disappointing tonight , hope Wright is fit asap.

I think we failed hard not getting in back ups for both Sheaf and MvE. We just can't afford to drop either or give them a rest.

Would have been ideal to try get in some succession planning in and use this season to rotate and bed in a youngster

Just think you stayed up late to watch that

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

Brings back the Sammy Clingan days

 

[Cally Fedora]

I think they care. They are just “nice”. We need some unfettered aggression.

 

[junglej13]

That is classed as an ok performance yet we still gifted them a goal, showed no courage on the ball and repeatedly hesitated on the ball. We're just so weak all over the pitch. I've said repeatedly you can't trust one of them. An awful quality in a footballer. I really can't stand some of them.

 

[fatso]

Maybe just not good enough then.

We havnt adequately replaced Gyokeres, Hamer and O'hare, we've brought in too many young players too soon, and too many league 1 players.

Realistically this seasons over (as long as we don't get dragged into a relegation scrap) so we need to be looking at a mini re-build for next season. 2 transfer windows could make a massive difference, we're 3 experienced players away from being challenging again.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

MVE is being flogged to death. We do not have cover for him. He is quality. Played the lovely cross in that should have resulted in the equaliser.

 

[SkyBlueSam01]

MVE has needed dropping for a while imo. I take the point that he's tired with no backup but he has been poor so far this season.

I like him as a player and personality but he has been really unimpressive this season

I'd be playing Eccles at RB which frees up Torp to start in the middle

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Think they all try and care, just very average footballers.

 

[fernandopartridge]

MVE needs dropping for a while imo

I like him as a player and personality but he has been really unimpressive all season

I'd be playing Eccles at RB which frees up Torp to start in the middle

He's been one of the better players but just looks fucked

 

[Shannerz]

We havnt adequately replaced Gyokeres,

Actually, with Vik at least, we did.

Obviously there was zero chance of getting a player of the same quality, we're not in the market for £20-30m strikers, but in Wright, we absolutely got as good a replacement as we could have.

That's such a lazy criticism. I was there tonight and could see they were busting their bollocks tonight.

A fair few not good enough on the night but they were trying.

I agree we need a new left back, 2 centre backs and a number 10 that links midfielder and attack.

It must be incredibly frustrating for the likes of MVE, Torp, Sheaf, Sakamoto, Mason Clarke, Wright and I would go as far as including Simms, it's got to be frustrating for this group of lads when they are having to play alongside Joel, Bobby, Binks, Kitching, BTA, Rudoni.

There's a group of lads that are absolutely good enough and then there is a group of lads that simply aren't good enough and it never ends well.

Gyok, Hamer, O'Hare have all moved on and It won't be long until the cycle continues and MVE, Sheaf and Wright follow suit, purely because, as a club we always have had this habit of having 3 or 4 top talents and then 4 or 5 that are dreadful and are consistently putting our club in a position we shouldn't be in.

Recruitment needs to be looked at, we didn't need BTA, he cost us 2 million quid, he hasn't got a first touch, no ball control, he runs for the sake of running, without cause, he is a league 1 footballer. The 4 centre backs, all of them are not good enough. Rudoni, playing where O'Hare did last season, it's honestly a far cry when you compare the 2 players talent wise.

We need 4 players bringing in, 2 new centre backs a left back and a number 10 to link the midfield and forwards.
