cityfan Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 That was absolutely shocking last night. The team didn't even play football did they! Doubts over, Spence, Nyatanga, McCallister, Skuse, Woolford and now Pitman Where is Ribeiro, surely not still injured? If he is bring in Joe Lennox or Carey We haven't really had a decent midfielder since Paul Hartley. Truly the type of player we need and should be looking for. Someone who commands the players, the game and creates. Kilkenny is okay, but time will tell if he can make a difference Pitman must be played up front as well, in position if he is to deliver goals. Stead in his few appearances this year appears to have lost, temporarily or otherwise what he gave us last year Swindon were all over us last night and should have been 3-0 up inside 12 minutes. They played with far more appetite, movement, pace and direction. It was embarrassing and boring, definitely potential relegation form Let's see James/Gerken Ribiero/Carey Stewart Fontaine McCallister (no other choices yet) Albert Kilkenny Elliott JCR Maynard Pitman (5 games to prove himself) AND if we are going to buy players like Bolaise let's involve him. Why didn't he come on last night? Ridiculous Bye bye to the following McCallister when replaced Ribiero if constantly injured, if not let's get him playing Nyatanga Wolford (give another 5 games first and make sure we feed him the ball to give him a shout) Clarkson Hunt Jackson if we are never going to play him or put him on the bench Lee Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezgimed Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Pitman doesnt have to prove himself. Its the management of the bloke that is sapping him dry. Being dropped/played on the wing. Its blatant for everyone to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its blatant for everyone to see. Amen to that, another Millen masterstroke playing an out and out striker on the wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exAtyeoMax Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Why is he playing Brett on the wing? I thought we had loads of wingers? Brett plays best when paired up with Nicky. I haven't ever been impressed with Stead, he looks weak and never seems to win the ball - or even fight for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I haven't ever been impressed with Stead, he looks weak and never seems to win the ball - or even fight for it. This beggars belief, bar when carrying an injury around Christmas Stead was one of our best players last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinapig Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 This beggars belief, bar when carrying an injury around Christmas Stead was one of our best players last season. Agreed, I'd have him in the side; an intelligent player and we don't have many of those. Mind you I felt the same about Cisse, who is now persona non grata.

His injurry against Weston was no more than a twinge which was blown up out of all proportion. Played against Reading reserves at Left Back behind closed doors (My work colleagues nephew was on the Reading team) and was apparently the best player on the pitch. Him and Hunt played a blinder by all accounts. Millens got exSPENCE in now and cant be playing Ribs or the board will see it as a waste of money. Too be blunt although I am a big fan of Ribs as you all know Spence as been decidely average so far and is ceratinly no replacement for Caulker. There is no way Wilson or Edwards an aging Carey should be filling the RB spot ahead of Ribeiro. If hes fit he should playing...end of ...Obviously hes fallen out of favour with Millen At least he should let him out on loan as not playing regular football is not going to help his international aspirations or please Gary Speed very much I would imagine. Clarkson will score goals given a run of games to get his confidence up..just need to persevere with him Hunt is still a quality player IMO and again given a run of games to get his confidence up is still capable of out performing most defenders in his division.

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Why is Cisse out of favour? HGe keeps the ball pretty well whenever I've seen him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellRedPhil Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Why is he playing Brett on the wing? I thought we had loads of wingers? Brett plays best when paired up with Nicky. I haven't ever been impressed with Stead, he looks weak and never seems to win the ball - or even fight for it. Astounding. On the bright side it was marginally better than our 2-0 loss to Carlisle 2 years ago, so we've made some progress... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has been playing well in recent reserve matches. With he quality in front of him, finds himself 4/5th choice RB. Obviously no longer in the clubs plans.
