Burton players were scared stiff of him yesterday. There must have been 10 headers that went unchallenged when their players could have gone for them against Reda.
I actually thought at one point that they may have been told to drop off and let him win the header so that they could pick up the...
Me and a bloke next to me couldn't believe it when they took Duffy off. Best player on the pitch bar Reda yesterday. He was everywhere and causing us all sorts of problems.
Its all well and good us taking on say 50,000 refugees but there are millions of people who have been displaced. By taking a small % of them we are really not helping at all with the bigger picture although it will make the country feel like its done its bit to help them. The west needs to get...
Step one is to set up more refugee camps in neighboring countries and help them there like they are doing in Jordan etc at the moment. Step two is to get western forces in to get rid of Assad, IS and the Islamic fundamentalists causing all of the problems and to make the area safer to live...
I did notice the trains full if refugees in Hungary predominantly populated by adult males aged 18+. Its not just about the kids is it?
The whole situation in the middle east should have been left well alone by the west as it has always had 'tyrants' running countries and keeping a lid on racial...
That's the point Nick. Take stuff off them and they'll go and rob what they need from someone else. Put them in Prison and they'll do the same when they come out most of them aren't bothered by the law. If any normal person gets a criminal record then it impacts on everything we do. It doesn't...
What, some who they can moan about for lack of goals. With all of the positivity at games at present the fans have got to be crying out for a whipping boy.
Lets not forget this spineless piece of spunks all conquering squad fluked staying up on the last day vs charlton by fighting their way to a 4-1 defeat. Inspiring management no doubt.
I'd heard that somewhere too. He's a crap manager who had a decent(on paper anyhow) team playing crap football. The only time I ever wavered in renewing my season ticket was when this pissed up plank was in charge. Hated it and despise him. He's giving it large now that he has fluked his way up...
I liked Murphy but he rarely came off his line and whilst he was with us we let a lot of goals in from crosses and set pieces. The centre halves took a lot of blame for it but I dont think he helped us with his aversion to taking crosses.
Re: Bentley, My son said on the way to the game that Southend's keeper was really good and that some people think that he'll play for England in a few years. I'd never heard of him beforehand, but, he was as good as anyone I've seen for a long time.
Teams are getting wise that we are virtually playing 4-2-4 and so are overrunning us in midfield and defence. Southend made sure that their midfield amd forward line flooded us at the back early on which was leaving us 4 v 6 at some points. We looked a bit better second half when we went to...
Sorry Wasn't aim at you specifically. But he did nothing wrong tonight and had no chance with either goal. He had a fairly solid game and nearly saved the penalty. He'd have had to have been so far out of his goal for the cross for the first one that the goal would have been left wide open...
Burge - 6 Did nothing wrong
Phillips - 6 Played ok other than penalty
Ricketts - 6 Would have been 5 but for goal
Johnson - 5 See above
Stokes - 8 Best defender and put in our most dangerous crosses. Won Penalty
O'brien - 7 Played well enough
Fleck - 4 Awful. Think he must have thought we were...
Yes Burge was the real problem tonight not Fleck who couldnt pass to a blue shirt and gave possession away in his own half loads. It wasn't Reda Johnson getting pulled out of position for the first 45 minutes. It Wasn't Murphy who was awful in the first half. It wasn't the midfield who didn't...
I'm going to run management speak up the flagpole and see whether we have any blue sky thinkers in the house.
It really pisses me off. Anyhow now I've touched base I'll leave you to run with it.
