Reply With QuoteThe positive from today is that a) we’ve got enough talent for a decent manager to at least get us out of the bottom 3 and b) it won’t be Riza after the tactical changes he made.

1. Riza should get nowhere near the top job - his clueless substitutions and change in system to handed them the initiative when they were on the ropes.
2. Colwill is the most frustrating player. One out of 5 times he plays a good ball or does something game changing, the other 4 times he just gives possession away. He just needs to shift it sideways to a blue shirt sometimes.
3. Kanga is a hopeless lost cause. He should be nowhere near the U21s, never mind the 1st team.
4. O'Dowda looks like he is scared of getting injured and doesn't fully commit to challenges.
5. Ralls gets slower by the week.
6. Good point but it should have been 3 relatively easy ones.

Very harsh on Colwill.Originally Posted by az city
In addition to the worldie, Tanner did some good defensive work. He looked gutted to be taken off.
Especially as we haven’t got a game for 2 weeks, plenty of recovery time
Him and Colwill link up well. More composure , game time and they should get better.
Their play should have been rounded off by 2 more goals.
However even today with them 2 being the main positives they are getting criticised.
Brief highlights https://www.skysports.com/football/v...hip-highlights
Colwill gives the ball away quite often because he tries the sort of high tariff passes which we have been notoriously bad at for years, as he’s better at playing them than any of our other players, I’m all for him continuing to do it.
Three bad misses there. El Ghazi, Tanner and Colwill. That goal from Tanner was a stunner and the kind of goal he scored in pre-season (last year?) which had me raving about him. Then after the Swansea goal he dried up. I think Bob mentioned that our finishing is bad mind. Riza will have been gutted at us not killing that game off and going 0-2 up. Maybe that contributed to his 66th minute aberration?
Still wouldn't have wanted him mind. He's one of Bulut's team.
Exactly. We passed the ball sideays endlessly under Bulut and where did that get us?
Colwill was outstanding today, he took the game by the scruff of the neck. He was beating players, using his physicality to ride challenges, winning the ball back and he set up our goal. I just cannot understand the constant negativity from some posters towards him. He's our best midfielder by an absolute mile and he proved it today.
He just said he found him frustrating. That's hardly harsh.
That ball that he bent around the defender on the right side for Tanner was sublime.
He is really affecting games now.
He said he gives it away 4 times out of 5 which is utter bollocks. He was superb today. Everything good from us come from him. Shame he didn’t finish that one chance, which he will know himself he should have, that would have been the cherry on top. Great performance.
Exactly. Pass it sideways be ****ed. We’ve had enough sideways and slowing it down for the next decade after 14 months of Bulutshit.
He’s finally, FINALLY, getting a consistent run in the team as a 10, his best position, and he’s starting to look like the talent he’s been built up to be. Long may it continue and he isn’t shoved back out wide and restricted to 20 mins off the bench.
Fair enough. I skimmed the 4 x out of 5 part.
He didn't just say that CN. He said 4 times out of 5 he just gives the ball away.
Agree. It was a great performance from him, we have plenty of workhorses, we desperately need his flair and creativity. Yes, he gives the ball away occasionally but we do not need somebody else passing the ball sideways and backwards. Encouragingly both him and Tanner seem to be getting stronger by having a decent run in the starting line up.
No idea why Robinson was taken off, he didn’t look tired and we don’t have anyone to replace him unless we put Reindorf on the bench. We really don’t need to see anymore of Kanga ( or Meite) to know they are not up to it
And the more games he plays, the more he gets better. He and Tanner are developing a really useful partnership. I'd like to see Reindorf in amongst those two.
Great pass wasn’t it, as soon as I saw it, I thought we might be on for something here - he’s become so important to us.
I’m really surprised that he hasn’t been given a chance yet.
The fans would be more onside with him if he had have done.
😀👍
One point regarding Colwill, it's that balance of wanting him to do something game changing and potentially lose possession, or keep things safe. There's no such thing as playing the killer ball only when it is guaranteed to work, and keep it safe otherwise. Part of the remit of someone like that is they will give the ball away, sometimes often, but they'll also provide killer passes and moments.
Take that away and that would be a mistake.
When Colwill wasn't playing regularly, whomever was playing in his place would also give the ball away more often than not. The difference he makes is what he does with the other 1.
