Guest firetotheworks Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Waaaah waaah waaaaaah Carrol is the worst player we have! Yeeeeah yeeeeah yeeeeeah Carrol we love you! Carroll is still f***ing s***, it's only statistics that with all the headers he f***s up one or two will sometimes be good. That's 5 goals in 6. So? If our target man was any decent it'd be more than that with our long ball tactics tbh. If your being serious that is even funnier! Of course I'm serious, anyone not wearing "He's a local lad, he's teh best since Shearahhhh lolz!!!11!1one!!1" glasses sees that. take time to think about the fact your complaining about a 5 goals in 6 record. no matter what you think of carrol, how anyone can be dissapointed with that is bloody ludicrous. It's totally not that at all. Its the fact that 2 of our other strikers have a better record, and have been given less of a chance. That aside he is player to be the big man up front but rarely does he play this role well, and rarely do the midfield support him when he actually knocks it down.

Mr Logic Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 But he so rarely knocks it down, partly due to the fact our long ball technique is designed to give it to the opposition and not him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I didn't think the pressing looked right when we didn't have the ball especially in the first half. We pressed the first man reasonably well but there was no real pressure on their outball. I appreciate you don't want to leave gaps in behind but usually with three in the centre you expect better. As a result they dictated the play and held the ball better and we generally made them look better than they actually are imho. Anyway, off the hook and a couple of home games coming up. What pressing of the ball? I never saw any! I saw us standing off, defending deep and letting them have the ball. Probably down to the manager's instructions.

ElDiablo Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Fucking awful. An absolute miracle we didn't get beaten. Sorry but if Nolan continues to start I will have lost all faith in Hughton, he was absolutely disgraceful. Guthrie and Smith were shit as well. We miss Jonas so badly, pray he's fit for the next game. Lovenkrands should be used as an impact sub away from home, we battle more and are more direct and the game passes him by. Would have done better with Best up front. Carroll was average but had little support and service. If Jonas or Enrique aren't fit for the next game I'd put Kadar in at left back and move van aanholt up to left wing. All in all, lucky as fuck. Hopefully that goal will be like Nolan's against Doncaster and give us the confidence to go on a little run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJbarnes Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 If I remember right, towards the end of last season it was Birmingham, Wolves and Sheff Utd as the 3 teams realistically fighting for the 2 automatic promotion spots. All 3 were pretty poor for the latter part of the season and all dropped lots of points. However, it was birmingham and Wolves who as the teams who took the top 2 for most of the season went up. Could be a similar situation here- us certainly in a lower gear than at the start, and Forest dropping lots of points at the moment. Cant see WBA being poor but it may well be them going up as champions, and us second on the basis that we drop less points than Forest and no-one else gets enough to close the gap.

For us to press them we would need Guthrie, Smith, Routledge and Nolan to be chasing down their players across the length of the pitch for 90 minutes. Do you really think that any of that lot bar Routledge looked physically capable of doing that today? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca888 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 That was woeful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just cannot understand how this side of ours is top of the league after watching that painful excuse for a football team today. If Swansea had a half decent striker, we would have been pummelled by half time. Hughton must see how second, slow and unfit our midfield is. I have seen tortoises turn faster than Nolan and Guthrie is just a total waste of space, continually giving the ball away or getting caught in possession, as did Nolan on several occasions. Our tactic seemed to be hit it as far up the park as possible with no real method at all. In all honesty, I switchjed off at half time and went to bed as it was 1.00am in the morning here and I wasnt prepared to give up any more much neeeded sleep to watch this abortion of a club any longer.

macca888 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 One more thiong guys, we better hope we DONT get promoted to the EPL on this display because with this squad and what is being said in the NOTW today, we are in for some fucking Portsmouthish hidings next season if we do go up. NOTW apparently saying that Ashley only prepared to buy players with re-saleable value, under 25, only accept 15K per week and these conditions were the reason why Kilgallon and Beckford turned us down, Hope this not true.

NEEJ Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Hell of a ball in from Best for the goal, great header too from Carroll. Just seen the goals on BBC1. It sounds like i've had a lucky escape in terms of missing this one, it was painful just listening to a few minutes on the radio on the way to me match.

macca888 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 IMO we would get fucked over even in the SPL if displays at Derby and Swansea are anything to go by. I think it is a pretty well known fact that what the NOTW is saying is about right. Our only hope now is if we do go up, then Ashley sells the club quickly to a rich benefactor because I can see nothoing else but second rate players signed by a manager who will be clearly out of his depth in the PL. Hughton has done a good job under difficult circumstances to start with and we all thank him for that but he now has a very good squad together and we are putting in performances like that today???? I can only foresee difficult times ahead and a yoyo situation developing within our club if he stays. Swansea werre excellent today and their passing, movement and closing down was first rate. Our lot stood arouind like bystanders at a bus stop watching things all day. We were fucking rank. I have sunday league teams perform with more organisation, method and desire than that.

All depends on what happens. Getting someone to buy the club from Ashley is the priority and it might happen if we go up but probably won't if we don't. Our better players will leave and we'll be fucked for the foreseeable. We have to go up and cross our fingers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a pity that Ashley doesnt realise than in order for these young players to be "sellable", they need to be producing good, regular performances, playing to a high standard of football. Cant imagine there is a queue to buy our first team squad at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca888 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Big Tron Quite right too. Which leads you to think that if we do go up, what kind of season is ahead in the PL with this squad? At least some teams like Stoke will show what they lack in ability can be made up in other areas. Our lot just seem to think they are better than they really are. Some very hard decisions are going to have to be made in the summer and I dont think the current management regime have the capability of making those decisions therefore I am less than excited about the future prospects of the club.

Theregulars Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 The only thing that made that shitstorm of a match more bearable was Neesy's hilarious swearing at the pub television. Honestly, complete poo. Hughton is woefully, woefully inept, especially away from home. For a team full of suppsedly Premiership class we couldn't put together one passing move. If anything, we've just become a Championship team in our approach to football. I thought we got rid of hit and hope snail's pace dribble when Allardyce, Kinnear went. Utter, utter, vile trash. Do not deserve promotion based on this shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
