ponsaelius Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I don't actually mind Gezza that much - joint highest assist contributor last season, and how many games did he play? Just putting it out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's more than finished. he's got a better delivery than just about everyone on the playing staff and leags that'll get him about the pitch if not quickly.

magorific Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Tbh our whole midfield has been poor this season. Maybe bar Reading and a glimpse of quality from Guthrie against Leicester. It's a joke really, and if we go up we need major investment in that midfield as it would get torn apart in the Premier League. Nolan's looked horrendously unfit, Barton looks like he couldn't be f***ed, Smith's done his job, and Guthrie's not had much of a chance. Smith and Guthrie central and Barton behind the front man is how this midfield three should be, but it's so impossibly obvious Hughton can't see it. Might as well make it all too difficult for no reason. He's making it difficult because we have no wingers and he has to compensate for this. The fact is he just doesn't want to drop Nolan and now he won't be able to bring himself to drop Butt. The likes of Lua Lua could easily be put out on that wing and his pace and unpredictability would be a breath of fresh air and would at the very least give us another gear out there. I really like Hughton but he is bottling it. Huge shame. whenever lua lua has came on for the first team he's looked lost with lots of running going nowhere. i'd probably rather have geremi in away games. Very good point about Geremi. Can you believe that as bad as our midfield is he doesn't even get a look in. How can you justify playing Butt or Nolan ahead of him? Geremi? OUR Geremi? The Geremi whose last start I can remember - at Hull - was worse than anything Butt or Nolan have produced? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Last 3 games now with that formation we've scored only one goal each game. Butt coming in is probably largely the reason that tonight that wasnt good enough. But we shouldnt need to be relying on that to be good enough in the first place. We have there a side currently capable of winning games by far more than 1-0. Its acceptable only when theres no other strikers, that clearly wasnt the case tonight atall.

ChezGiven Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Have thought that in some of our wins if the opposition had taken the chances we'd afforded them or had a little bit more rub of the green we could have dropped points like, has felt kind of like we've been riding our luck a little bit and were due a defeat. Think we rode our luck hugely on sunday. Its all to do with Nicky Butt though apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmelads Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 A wake up call and one I hope Hughton can use to remind Mike Ashley that reinforcements are needed. Yes there are a lot of s*** teams in this league, but there's two other teams out there who are pissing on them and to finish in the top 2 we have to keep pace with Boro and West Brom (Cardiff will get a lot of points too). There'll be draws and defeats but it's how we bounce back from results like this that matters. This isn't the end of the world. Boro and West Brom play each other on the weekend, while we've got a very winnable home game. If those two draw and we do our job at home we could be back top by Monday. But the squad will need reinforcements very soon. There's no point in waiting for an injury crisis before bringing them in, it's clear we're short on numbers and it has to be dealt with now. We have 2 centre backs and one winger at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

9 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Poor performance for the whole 90mins, think the players had the same mental thinking as most our fans at the game "it's only blackpool" and as expected they were up for it as though it was a cup final. Playing Carroll as a target man on his own is crazy, flicking balls on to no body and when he got support he rarely had any control of where his flick ons go, at least if you play ranger on his own he can hold the ball up, tonite just saw possession lost very easy which lead to our defence being under pressure all night. As poor as we were we still could have got something from the game, just to slow with the final ball or the shot, so guess that can be seen as a positive while playing so bad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
