I'm all for giving youth a chance but come on. I doubt that's going to change a great deal given our finances! We have been hit quite badly though. Redmond, Moussa, Romeu, Vestergaard, Salisu (lol), Ings, Obafemi Add those players back to the squad and all of a sudden we have what could be considered a strong bench. Clubs of our size will automatically struggle if we lose that many first team players in one hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I did think Bertrand had a decent game. Long shouldn't even be in consideration for Tuesday night, even League 1 is above his level. I disagree. We were excellent to a man in the first half. Second half we weren't goof, which was largely down to Leicester stepping it up big style. We lost. No need to throw the whole side under the bus.

Leicester came out in the second half and pressed higher, closed the space, played more compact. We found it a real struggle to get space in the second half as they closed it down fairly quickly. Then we were forced to push higher ourselves, which meant we were leaving gaps...and they were exploiting that towards the end. Agree with other views, first half us, second half them. Even game all in, not too fussed. Onto the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washsaint Posted 16 January, 2021 Share Posted 16 January, 2021 Wow, there are some incredibly dumb t***s on here tonight. The abuse at Stephens is ridiculous and shows those posters up to be utter t***s of the highest order. We played well first half and not so good 2nd half. It's been a recurring theme for many games now that we offer very little in front of goal (1 goal in 5 games now). Adams was excellent then ran out of gas. Smallbone was having an excellent game and got injured. Anyone who thinks we will be splashing the cash to bring in reinforcements is deluded. Where's the money going to come from? We could well have gotten a point - and that probably would have been the fair result. Onwards and upwards - hopefully Adams and others will be given a rest ready for next weekends game. It's a real concern how often Walcott gives it away and gives other teams to break away. But then we don;t really have any other options at the moment. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he really deserve being called what he's being called? He's improved massively under Ralph, but he has always been limited. He is always beaten by the turn, or pace, or skill. Backs to the walls/blocks etc, passing out from the back, decent and he's improved in that element. But against genuine quality/pace our CB's aren't really up to it, Jan is better...but still weak in those situations. Because we can express an opinion harshly or not, dosent make us more or less passionate about what we write or in the manner of the words we display dose it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
