The whole of our defence + fortune is pony.
I thought the first goal was down to Paddy letting Ebanks- blake get away from him as indeed was the second although the second was at the Jimmy seed End and I'm in the North so perhaps I mistook Paddy for Halford.
Don't think so though.
I think he seems to get some undeserved stick.
Sodje worries me.
He was in the pub!!!!!!
tosh
he got sucked in instead of marking the man
3rd goal we just equalised he's nowhere to be seen when they attack and the ball comes in from the right back slot
Absolute tosh! What bloody game where you watching. Paddy was out in the left back position and Sodje was in the middle. Halford slips and gets turned - but it's Paddy's fault is it?
thanks for your kind words re my posts!
Are you going to the Bromley meet on Tuesday. If not shall I ask Paddys view on that statement?
Personally I think they both have that unfortunate trait that if they make an error it tends to lead to a goal conceded. Maybe we just have had a season where nothing has gone right for us.
I think you are right that this has been a frustrating season and perhaps unavoidable after the heights of the last ten years or so
McCarthy will always get found out when he is up against mobile players rather than the Donkey centre forwards he generally does well against. He has no pace and gets turned to easily, people here can bang on all they like about him being an improved player but you can't improve a lack of pace, you have it or you don't.
Second goal also Paddy.
NOT unfortunate trait, with Paddy I am afraid. Clubs do their homework and if they have a mobile player it's a nailed on certainty a goal will result. Our best run of not conceding a goal in games had Fortune & Sodje at centre backs.
Am i the only 1 who felt McCarthy could've made more of an effort for the 3rd instead of ambling back then realising Henry was behind him and........BANG, too late.
But he does appear to be 'found' out by the more pacy/classy strikers in this division. And clearly would be a problem in the prem.
But to be honest if that is where we are in terms of the quality we can afford then I would rather have Paddy in my side and see if we can battle it out with him.
However the reality is if we are ever to get back to the Premiership the club will have to eventually replace players that have an obvious weakness. I will still get behind him when the game kicks off and he plays, as I do with players I really don't rate in the hope they will have their best game for us and prove me wrong on that day. However the club and fans should always strive for better. If we accept mediocrity that is what we will become.
you're not alone there, a giant in the air, absolute pony on the ground
Perfectly capable of the odd horlicks himself but I liked his partnership with Paddy.
For the second, at first viewing I thought Paddy was well at fault. Subsequnetly it was clear that he was done by a piece of pure class from Ebanks-Blake. Can't blame Halford at all!
Third was a quick break, Sodje again in no-man's land, and McCarthy slow to react.
Please get off Halford's back - the boy is actually a talented footballer as his finish for our first goal showed. I'd be very happy for us to keep him.
Wolves broke down the left flank and he was literally nowhere to be seen, even when the ball was in the net I still couldn't see him.
We are not winning with the current players, so surely we should play the likes of Moo2 and Youga again now, they are hopefully our future for the next couple of years.
It is an interesting point. I dont think he is as short of pace as people on here make out. He outpaced a Wolves player to a challenge last night. I think he might make a very good centre half though.
I really think that the fans have been on his back far too quickly. Nobody was giving him stick against Palace.
People are very quick to pick up on mistakes but they rarely give him credit for what he does well - a searing long range effort yesterday that the keeper brilliantly just managed to fingertip on to the bar, let alone 2 goals in 2 games that any striker would have been proud of.
He's an honest good standard pro, only 23, recently experienced a difficult family bereavement -yet has shown he's thoroughly committed to the cause.
Let's focus on his qualities and give credit where it's due.
