I’ve stayed out of the match thread, changes thread. Haven’t read a damn thing in this one so far. (Probably won’t). I’m normally balanced and well reasoned. Can see the positives after a loss etc.
However.
There are no positives from that game.
I have not witnessed as an insipid, putrid performance as that, even when we were Getting belted by 100+ points. At least the players tried, and were just crap.
There was movement forward of centre. No run or trust in the teammates. We’re they gassed or tired from last week in the heat? No ****ing excuse for that backwater, spittoon of a game.
The players we needed to step up, did absolutely nothing. Freddie, Walters, acres, banfield have to all be dropped.
Everyone calling for aish to be included.. you happy? The guy was underdone, he’s a great 23rd man and honest trier.
my buddy tucker has to get the boot. Godawful.
And the coaching. J.F.C.
AS SOON as Darcy went down, NOD should have been brought on. We were lacking run. Sending a one legged giant back out there was never going to help us. Changes should have been made at half time. Sure we were in front, but we didn’t deserve to be. The only thing that changed after the half, was the Saints kicked straight for a change.
Why they thought playing the three slow as treacle big boys would work, I have no idea. It didn’t work last year when it was tried. Plus then we have the afore-mentioned one pace disappearing acts in aish, tucker, acres and banfield. Added to the one paced midfield, and guess what? You get ****ing burnt!!
At this stage I’m not even sure I’ll be watching the Derby. Something needs to change. And who do we have to bring in? Young players, who will be inconsistent, and need support from the more mature leaders around the club in game. Well good ****ing luck with that, they couldn’t even find their way into a forward line.
Does anyone seriously think the outs we had yesterday would have made the slightest lick of difference? There was no intent, no desire for the contest and no clue how to play.
Go the Women!!! Show these ****ing overpaid pretenders how to football!!
