If you set the bar so low even winning a header (even if it goes nowhere) is an improvement.
There is no improvement.
Burge - Saves 8 - Distribution 3
Defence 4 - Nothing really to do but they still let them have loads of shots. All over the place most the time no structure.
Midfield 4 - Offer nothing and passing was terrible. Reid 7 for effort. Bayliss was on empty for last 20 minutes and not replaced.
Attack 5 - Fed absolutely nothing but offered nothing when they got it. Great ball for the goal but why celebrate it like a golden goal and get a yellow card?
Overall the players didn't seem to know their job. Going for the same ball and leaving loads of spaces for their players all over the pitch.
Barnet were poor and we made them look a good side.
Abysmal viewing for fans. Only good thing about the game was the result.
Hanging in their at the moment but things need to improve.
Dead right. A dire performance with perhaps a small part of that due to the conditions. First time I’ve seen JCH and thought he looked like a step back from Biamou . Something def not right with the midfield ,out of position or shape ?
Solo players like Reid and Jones are are ok if they get the killer ball in ,Reid hardly ever does . Took the grandkids again . A win is good but even they know the football is bad .

If you honestly think he is a step back from Biamou I suggest you find another sport to watch. He offers far more than Biamou, namely goals! 3 in 7 appearances which matches Biamous impressive 3 in 37 appearances. If you can name a single attribute that Biamou is better at I would be amazed.Dead right. A dire performance with perhaps a small part of that due to the conditions.

Not significantly worse than others but he was woeful. Along with Bayliss they both had awful games and I would drop both for Tuesday.Haynes significantly worse than everyone else? Ok then. You are hilariously pig-headed when it comes to certain players.

But Grendel has highlighted him as having a particularly bad game compared to everyone else. It’s bullshit. Not arguing that he played well, but he certainly didn’t stand out as being worse than anyone else. I’d have said JCH and Bayliss were worse than him for example.

Except JCH wasn't worse than him. I am constantly reading Haynes is 'good going forward' but the truth is he cant defend well and didn't offer anything in their half. Therefore he wasn't effective at all. With Reid in front of him we need a more defensive player therefore Stokes should come back in.But Grendel has highlighted him as having a particularly bad game compared to everyone else.

Watch Biamou closely and he too loses a lot in the air.
Biamou would not have lost the aerial duel like JCH did.
I prefer JCH to Max but he won very little in the air yesterday.

He was very poor. Looks like he was running through treacle for the most part.Jch is scoring goals so be should start aheas of biamou
That said he had a terrible game yday bar the goal. Nothing stuck to him at all
Yep absolutely but to make out Biamou has no merit is so unfair. Not that you didDon’t get so bitter Gary , and if it’s alright with you I’ll stick to watching football. I did say that it’s the first time I’d seen him . Apart from the goal I didn’t see him add anything . Mind you ,if he’s shit for 85 minutes and scores a goal in every game ,play him I’d say.Seems to Spend a lot of time on his arse.
Shipley was injured I thinkYou get Biamou on the pitch because he will hold the ball up and give McNulty the opportunity to score, not necessarily score himself.
I’d have taken Bayliss and Reid off for Shipley and Biamou and gone 4-3-3 after about an hour yesterday.
Bayliss was exhausted. He didn’t have the energy to track his man.Shipley was injured I think
Could have put bayliss back in midfield

This biamou wins everything in the air myth really does need ending. Even if he gets his head on something it is literally just that, he gets his head on it, there is no looking around guiding the header where it needs to go
Dion Dublin was winning everything in the air

Biamou never wins aerial duals - another urban myth.
I thought JCH had a really good game at Brighton but have been disappointed with his performances since. The one area in which he is an improvement on Biamou is in goal scoring. For this I would keep him in the team ahead of Max. I don’t think he is as good in the air or with the ball at his feet as Biamou. I don’t think he holds the ball up as well. However, he does look more likely to score a goal so I would keep him in at the moment. If this level of performance continues do we sign him for next year?If you honestly think he is a step back from Biamou I suggest you find another sport to watch.

Would Biamou have been in that position to score the winner I would guess looking at his record no, so he would have won lots of headers ran around a lot and we would have drawn nil nil

I’d like to know how many McNulty has scored playing with Biamou and how many when he’s not in the side if anybody can be bothered to look it up.

Was thinking the exact same thing.I’d like to know how many McNulty has scored playing with Biamou and how many when he’s not in the side if anybody can be bothered to look it up.

Because it would be interesting to note if McNulty's goals from open play drying up have coincided with Biamou's absence.Why? He’s featured in 30 league games. So has only not featured in a tiny handful,
I see the team he left aren’t exactly missing him either.
