MC RISK77 Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Lots of posts about slump etc, just thought I would post a congrats to Antoine for making his debut...little time to make any impact but at least he looked like he put more effort in during 15 mins than most during the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanker Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Fair play to the lad but I honestly thought we’d get an equaliser when we pulled it back to 2-3. That substitution killed us as an attacking threat. The game went quiet when we were clearly on top. Kelly was playing some class football at left back as well. I’m starting to notice that Johnson does make some senseless changes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Think the phrase is “virtue signaling”, a lot on here will know I don’t rate Taylor, but surely he had far more value as our third sub & I don’t mean by shunting Reid back to LHS midfield again..

pongo88 Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Crazy substitution. Why bring on a player who has been playing in National League South when we need to win the game? Does this mean that LJ thinks that Matt Taylor is a worse player, or does it just mean that LJ has lost the plot again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diedhiou was tiring like he does after 70 minutes. I thought we would get a point till he made that change. You think bringing on a 3rd striker in the last 10mins of a meaningless game is stupid..?!

Could have finished the season as a top 10 team That's why our man is a sought after young coach, don't you know. Stick our top scorer, who may have been playing his last game for us & who might well have got an equaliser or even a winner, out on the left wing. It's how he's achieved those great results since Xmas. By being innovative. It's Total Football LJ style. It's why we're in the play-offs.......oh! Giggle. Still, we did beat Man U.

Alex_BCFC Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Can only remember him doing 2 things - losing the ball by the wing and then a really stupid foul. Not sure if that constitutes great effort really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dullmoan Tone Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 But without being cruel because I really hope he kicks on - did anyone gain anything from this appearance? LJ will have seen he is nowhere near as good as his other strikers, including Freddie Hinds 9the forgotten man) who at least made an impression earlier in the season. The lad was clearly trying hard but leading with your arm when jumping is something you don't do in any league it was just a stupid way to turn over the ball. He may get goals elsewhere, but he needs a lot of game time outside the Championship (probably League 1 as well) - what on earth did LJ see in training to give him a start?

A PR exercise to the other academy kids (and their parents) in a dead rubber game is my guess. Shows that a route through to the 1st team is there. Sadly for the kid he was thrust on when no one else on the pitch appeared to give a shit when we could have actually done with a goal, must be pretty dispiriting.

Surely there must have been better candidates for that - Korey was on his very final warning - perhaps Bakinson, putting JB back to left back more or less blunted the threat on that side and removed Bobby. For PR stunts (with the benefit of hindsight) it seems pointless. Especially as we paid no money for the lad - surely reassuring Bakinson (if we believe in him now as much as when we paid the fee) is much more important?

cheese Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 A meaningless game in the scheme of things. An opportunity to encourage the academy players currently and those yet to sign. Was a good move. If it is Reid's last game as many of you seem to think - why not shove him out the way - what do we have to lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
