I don’t get why people are upset by Hamer being dropped. He literally lost us the game at Millwall and has been looking shaky lately. He was brought in as third choice backup only a couple of years ago. Time for a rest. Team selection looks okay, but the big question is if there will be a change in game plan and strategy. Not looking forward to another million passes around our own box until we lose the ball and concede.
I don’t think the goal he conceded last Saturday was totally down to him, however the comic capers that happened a little later was!
Bachmann back in just shows how desperate Ismael is. Terrible, ridiculous decision. Awful goalkeeper. I'd love to know why he insists on CONSTANTLY changing the centre back duo as well. A good partnership in that position requires time together to learn how the other plays and how to get the best out of the other. Constantly chopping and changing is a recipe for disaster, as we've seen. Again, it's just desperate, and shows he really doesn't know how to get the best out of what we have whatsoever.
This has the capacity to be our lowest attendance for a very long time 5 mins to go and there’s about 20 people and a dog
That's not the worst lineup ever. Agree Hamer should still be starting. You can't drop a keeper for one mistake. If you did that you'd change keepers every month. Bizarre. I think Kone is our best Midfielder too. He gets annoyed at being hooked one game and Val is too stubborn and punishes him (I think that's what he's doing anyway). In this situation we are in, you play your best ******* players over trying to prove a point. Besides, it's not the worst thing for a player to be fuming about going off.
He's doing a good job of moving quite rapidly into the 'scapegoating and desperately flailing about to try and find a change that randomly works out of nowhere' era of his tenure. He was unendingly stubborn until a week or two ago, now players are flying in and out of the team inexplicably at the drop of a hat. #ManManagement
2 players who haven’t played much together there . https://twitter.com/GoalsGalorecom/...8666068389947¤tTweetUser=GoalsGalorecom
Bachman at fault potentially? Either way, so frustrating because we’ve actually not done our usual pass around the back inviting pressure on us and are playing forward at all times. Looking bright if not that effective and then give away that goal.
People saying it's all Bachmann's fault - I don't think many were saying the same when Hoedt scored a not dissimilar OG with Bachmanns in goal? He shouldn't have rushed out so far, but Andrews didn't even look where the keeper was - hitting a hard back-pass right at goal (even with the goalie there) is a bad idea; especially so when you've not even looked where the GK actually is.
Worse thing is looks like we’ve hardly made chances to get back into the game. Bachman actually been the busier keeper .
Bachman usual. Couple of good stops, what's he doing there, oh dear. We've gone full panic now, foregone the rigid passing it about at the back for a rigid hoof it plan. Why the **** can't we mix it up? Watch how deep the defense are when they play it up. We're only ever one touch from conceding a goal. The midfield 3 are covering about 70 yards of space and understandably are nowhere all at once.
Would really lift the spirits if we win this... Spoiler: Spoiler alert We're going to lose at least 3-0
It's funny how posters try and change the narrative when it's a fan favourite who people were calling to come back in to the team who made a mistake. When Hoedt did basically the same thing vs Coventry as Andrews did the general comments were quite different. I'm not picking on the below posters (I agree with them that Hoedt was more at fault, same as Andrews), but I just find the contrast in responses very amusing. A GK won't always be stood on their goal-line, whether they are needlessly rushing off their line or not; you just don't play a hard back-pass blind directly towards your goal, that's schoolboy defending. You could just replace the word 'Hoedt' with 'Andrews' below and the comments would mostly all make sense for today's game as well:
Only from our mistakes though. Take the own goal (which was bachmans fault) and his two saves out of it (which both came about though mistakes by us), he hasnt actually had to do much more than catch a a couple of crosses. Swansea havent created anything otherwise. We havent either mind. We had a header from a set piece which we should have done better with, Dennis had a good chance blocked and Asprilla had a great opening earlier when running at their defence which he made the wrong decision with.
Preferably somewhere vaguely near the goal he's supposed to be keeping. See ? It's in the job description, goal & keeper, all cleverly merged into one word.
I mean, I obviously can't recall the incident you are referencing off the top of my head, but I imagine a little thing we like to call 'context' probably has some bearing on the respective reaction to each of these events.
