Painful to watch

Lee - 6- should have pushed morgan's shot over the bar = no goal.

chambers-8 - our only decent player with demerit. tackled+ competed well.
Powell - 5- terrible. too slow lacks quality
Mackay - 5- see above ^
Demerit-7- him and chambers were the only 2 who wanted to win

Smith - 5- i am actually better than him. ineligible to lift his head?
Mahon - 6 - worked hard but to defensive.
Francis - 3- looks like he just learned to walk last week
Spring - 4 worked hard to no product. gave the ball away stupidly.
Macca = 7- impressive. actually ran at players + caused problems


Hendo - 3-- absolutly terrible. only useful in the air. terrible control of the ball

SUBS

Shittu - 5 - won everthing that came near him. PRISKIN?
Doyley -5- mneh.

 

I'm sorry bit I'm going to question Aidy's tactics.
A must win home game and in the 2nd half we have 6 defenders?

Apoloigies to all but we did not deserve any more regardless of decisions.

 

Everyone is all down in the dumps.

Do what I've done, drink a few cans, put on some good loud music, recharge optimism stores and then buy a train ticket to manchester for next monday

 

i'm going to be slated in school tomorow. thank god it's a half day

 

Merging them makes sense...just a shame i cant make sense of the thread...lol

 

is a bit confusing.. but i guess thats how it works.. lol

 

personally i would have left them as individual threads , people would have replied to the ones they wanted and the ones that got no replies would have dived off the bottom.

Oh well ..Admin and the Mods do a good job otherwise so musn't grumble

 

Load of old tripe.

Worst football match i've seen fora very long time at vicarage road. You can blame it on decisions all you like but fact is when there's a goalmouth scramble like that offsides are rarely given.
Our performance merrited nothing other than defeat and they created alot more, not to mention hitting the woodwork 3 times.

Yes the ref was bad and the sending off was a joke not to mention Hendo's yellow card which was influenced by pikey Gillespie.

We deserved nothing as mentioned already and to be quite honest it was pitiful, for those who didn't make it, i envy you.

Lee -6- Didnt do much although his kicking slumped.

Chambers -7- Decent performance should warrant a start at Man City.
Mackay -5- Got run ragged by Nade and looked very shakey.
DeMerit -7- Decent performance and handled Hulse well.
Powell -6- Did ok, sending off was VERY harsh.

Smith -6- Nice run and shot early on, did ok.
Mahon -6- Good to see him actually shoot. Worked hard.
Francis -5- Seemed very annonymous.
Spring -4- Too much huffing and puffing for our "creative" midfield link man.
Macca -4- Didn't get involved, not good enough.

Hendo -5- Not prem standard i'm afraid. Defenders had him in their pockets.

Doyley -6- Didnt do much.
Shittu -6- Won more than Hendo in the air. We really were desperate.

Once again our lack of investment in quality has shone through, ugly football combined with a lack of creativity makes for disgusting football matches.

 

worst performance since millwall at home last season.

too many passengers in the side tonight and that lack of scoring opportunities will always result in a defeat in the prem. a decent side might have embarrassed us tonight.

we didn't control any part of the pitch and below the first choice 11 + say 3 players, we are woefully weak. henderson and spring in particular seem to be struggling to compete at this level.

still, it's only one game and just our second league defeat at home this season. if we had won big, it would only have been 3 points so we've lost no more than one game tonight and a bad performance might actually be better than an(other) unlucky loss because aidy won't accept that type of performance again.

 

What Chewitt said. Word for word accurate

 

It may be that Hendo is not up to the required standard but I felt he looked a better proposition playing on to a target man (Shittu) then he did when he had the sole ball winnning responsibility.

 

Piss Poor

 

now i think aidy is the best thing that has happened to our club in years but i just think that the massivr gulf between championship and premier division is now starting to show his inexperience at the top level. he has already admitted that he has no knowledge of overseas transfer markets and the like and now everyone knows how we play and are able to easily close us down.

i am not saying that i want rid of aidy but he really needs look into new formations and maybe hiring scouts who have knowledge of overseas players.

i know i'm in australia and i havent watched the game yet but my parents have recorded it on dvd for me, i was fighting the urge to not look at the result before i got the dvd but alas i have no will power.

i am not a pessimist but it is starting to look bleak for us now as we are more than one win behind sheffield utd and we'll have to be playing catch up all season and travelling to man city isn't the best thing to do when you are having trouble scoring.

oh well fingers crossed

 

True, it happens so quckly that the lino/ref don't want to stick their neck out and make a decision when they haven't seen it properly.

We looked like we were playing for a draw all through the game.

It was all a joke, but I refuse to blame the ref even though I am desperate to!
