Lost that game in the first two minutes. They could smell blood and correctly attacked with intensity right from the whistle. We looked petrified. Poku a crumb of comfort and Joe Walsh did everything that was asked of him.
I don’t think we’ll reach 50 points this season but still don’t think we’ll go down.
It might have been partly the case that we were flirting with relegation due to a lack of quality in midfi3ld. If you want to continue with lower mid table mediocrity then keep the same players. I’d also suggest that being player of the match several times in the standard of football we’ve produced over the last two years is not much to shout about.
I’d agree that midfield has been a clusterfeck this season and the reason why we’re having to play Edward’s in midfield. Morgan should have been out on loan gaining experience. It was clear from last season that Varane is hopeless and we should've taken that reported 5mil offer before the season started. Hayden was a questionable knee jerk signing in the aftermath of Coventry and, this is where we won’t agree, Field should also have been moved on if he wasn’t willing to be a squad player. He’s a decent chap and tries his hardest and chips in with the odd goal but we would should be looking at better footballers. In short we should’ve been looking at three new midfielders. It has been poor from Nourry.
It was made clear by the club that Field wanted to go out on loan to get regular playing time. Keeping a senior player festering on the bench can be counter productive. But I agree Morgan would have been better served being on loan this season.
Kieran Morgan has not been great in the minutes he’s managed to play this season but he’s 19. Hayden Hackney was on loan at Scunthorpe at the same age and they were relegated that year. As you’ve repeatedly said, now is the time to play younger players so we should stick with Morgan as he’ll only get better. We should have started Edwards in mf against Boro. We’re both in agreement over Varane, who hurts my eyes.
He looks like a broken man who hasn’t been sleeping much. He looked completely resigned to the looming defeat before we’d even kicked off. He’s been QPR’d.
I like JS and I’ve never knocked him before (a,though I accept he has made other errors) but I have to agree. The other thing that has concerned me for a while is I wonder if he’s too nice. I just can’t imagine him dishing out a Fergie style hairdryer. If players know they can put in a sub standard performance and pretty much get away with it without a managerial rollicking they’ll be less motivated. I appreciate the injury situation has seriously hamstrung us but passion and effort resulting from an inspiring manager can get you a fair way in this league. For the first time I’m beginning to wonder if, even given a full squad, whether JS has the tools necessary to manage in this league for next season.
