Are The Players Embarrassed?

Re: Are The Players Embarrassed?

I think that at least some of them are unhappy with the way they are expected to play and it’s coming through in their performances.
Josh Murphy is probably relieved to be out of it!

Has he gone? Where did he go?

Re: Are The Players Embarrassed?

Fair enough, but some of this is pretty basic stuff for someone who has probably been coached professionally from the age of 8. I don't believe for one second that the majority of pur players don't have the ability to look up, play a pass or give an option, nothing fancy about that, or taxing for a pro footballer. The biggest problem, in my opinion, is that we play flat, our defenders and midfield don't break lines or follow passes, it's rigid, and that's why we look so poor in posession, because everyone is static. They're not encouraged to take risks.

Cos they're not good enough to do so (at this level)? A misplaced pass (which often seems likely) and we're up against quicker opponents in our own half. I'm just as irritated; we're a very frustrating watch at times and at the moment we seem to be two halves of different cars welded together what with all the kids coming through. Might they have had a different education to their older team-mates?

The way I look at it is like this; when I see an aimless punt, a really poor touch, players way out of position etc, I think to myself, that's what I would do, because I'm shit at football. That's when you know it's bad.

It's when you think to yourself "I wouldn't have done that because it was the wrong option and I'm shit at football"... that's when you know it's bad!

I was speaking to TLG a few weeks back, i said in a sort of rhetorical way, 'What has happened to Joe Ralls?' His reply-'Russell Slade, Neil Warnock and Mick McCarthy' :hehe:

It's not just the players that should be embarrassed, Micky no plan must either live in a bubble or walks around knowing he's got 2 years money so doesn't give a toss.
He must think fans are idiots to believe some of the shite he comes out with, the latest crock of shite was about hooking Colwill off at half time on Wednesday, according to Mick the lad was mentally shattered??
If that's the case as the Manager why hadn't he spotted it beforehand?
Why start him and set the lad up for a fall if he wasn't in the right frame of mind to start?
Or was it just a feeble excuse because Colwill was playing to instructions, which seemed to be get down the flank, knock it against a defender and win a throw in!
Mick states he had to start him as that's what the fans wanted, if he ever thought about that, Bacuna, Vaulks and a few more would never start a game again.
Weve got some really good youngsters coming through, and like anyone learning a trade they'll make mistakes along the way, most fans will forgive that and encourage them especially the likes of Colwill, Bagan Sang etc
For McCarthy it's easy to use them as a scapegoat and show us all what a tactical genius he is by playing Collins, FFS my granny would have hit the target from there
