Have read comments on match
Besides running very fast can someone tell me what he offered to our team today? His shooting in warm up was appalling and I don't recall him having a goal scoring opportunity other than the penalty. Not a target man like Sodje who managed that reasonably well today despite their tall centre back, didn't hold the ball up like Sodje did on occasions. Just wondered?
Sam generally does not appear to be 'at the races' at the moment. Surely in training he is looking how to beat two men when they double up
Happy with the point though, but should have nailed them in the first half when they did not trouble Elliot. When they shifted to to two wide men they started to cause us problems

Not sure what to make of Sam tbh but prefer him to Thomas and Rommadahl. He did well defensively.
Akpo is very lazy.
Like he was against Swindon, you mean ..... ?
I don't know... cream crackered more like... I think he just spends so long moaning about every decision he's often a few yards off the pace, very little there for him today and only stayed on as McKenzie and Dickson wouldn't have won a header between them if they were there til next week

Now this is funny ...
Can't comment as i wasn't there i'm afraid Oggs.
I've never been convinced by Dickson if I'm honest but I didn't think he was too bad today. He won the penalty, and couldn't be accused of being lazy (which I've thought of him in the past).
As for Sam, I don't think he's been great since the first month of the season. Obviously having teams doubling up on him doesn't help but I can't help but feel that he is only still in the team because of his reputation from earlier in the season, even if he hasn't done much for the last two months or so (from what I can remember, and I've been to the majority of games). Saying that though I'm not going to disagree with playing him though because when he is on his game he's arguably the best winger in the league, and without having any other options hopefully he can play into some form....
fucking lol. yeah double tap L1, twist the right analogue stick and hold down L2. beats two men everytime.
Definitely chased really well. I think his pace surprised their keeper on a couple of occasions, and he almost scored that lob and later won the penalty through beating the keeper to the through ball.
As I've said before Sam has his faults, he doesn't always play well, but at the moment he's our best option on the right and should be on the team. I know you probably agree after saying he can be the best winger in the league, just wanted to make the point that he's in the team for the way he's played this season, not just on reputation.
He's not a player that will take control of a game, sometimes he needs other players on form and getting the ball to him in the opponents half, but he is one of our biggest threats.
i think parky made the wrong choices - today was 3 points up for grabs which we could have had but didt
Dicksons pace frightens defenders and looked lively all game...........and I will go far as to say Parky took the wrong frontman off and as soon as Dickson went off we lost all of our attacking threat and pace.
Shooting in warm up is just that - Warm up.
He had a least a couple of chances. One in the first minute and a one on one when he lobbed the keeper and missed. Perhaps should have scored both but hard to say from behind the far go.
By their very nature wingers are inconsistent. Unless they're absolutely world class, ie Ronaldo, Giggs etc. "Should be looking at how to beat two players" ?? Come on, that's a pretty silly thing to say. He's Lloyd Sam, not Lional Messi. How many players in the world do you see regularly beating two men?
I sometimes wonder what people expect from Sam. As someone else pointed out, he's second in the league on assists, has scored 4 goals and seems to be involved in pretty much every goal we score. He's been fantastic for us this season. He's never going to be fantastic every game.
A bit like Ambrose used to
I completely agree Chunes, i think people do judge Sam very harshly at times. An awful lot of the goals we have scored this season have either been scored by Sam, assisted by him or he played some part in the build up. I think he is our most dangerous player and no, of course he's not going to play well every game. People have to remember that players go through good patches and bad patches. Lloydy will come good, you all know it deep down.
KEEP THE FAITH!
