The Nest Egg Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Really at a loss now to what he brings. Starting to remind me of Martyn Woolford to be honest. Poor football intelligence, doesn’t link up well with the others and no end product. Let’s hope that Eliasson doesn’t end up like Bolasie; leaving for first team football and then becoming a Premier League player... He was signed under the pretense that he was a raw player and one for the future. Yet, he seems to just get into the team despite doing very little of note. Run up the wing a bit, turn around, make a short pass which sometimes doesn’t even go right. Is certainly not a natural finisher but even his crossing leaves a lot to be desired most of the time. As to why Johnson keeps trying getting to shoehorn him at left wing back to play this turgid 3-5-2, God knows. Actually I think even she would struggle to comprehend why. Please please please please someone enlighten me as the fact that he got a new contract is beyond me. Ask yourself; when he gets the ball, do you get up off your seat in anticipation or do you resign yourself to what is inevitably going to happen next?

nickolas Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Sh1t should cover it really. Should score after 15 seconds and then disappears for 94 mins. Brownhill the same mind. Inspirational captain he is not!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoonbed Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 I really rated ODowda, and thought that prior to his injury last year, would go on to great things. But after watching that performance, he really should be nowhere near the 1st team. Absolutely shocking “performance “ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC RISK77 Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 I called him out as shite at the start of last season and got shot down by some, he is utterly dreadful, totally uninterested and for me should have gone as soon as he didn’t want to sign the contract. completely unacceptable performance from a so called professional footballer today.

ProfitInMyPocket Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Was useless but cant just slate his performances, most of that team were awful and have been really lacklustre. Palmer brings less than Tomlin did. Smith ain't the same as he was in league one, gets bullied and is slow in possession. Weimann aimless running as well as COD. Bentley, Taylor Moore and Fam to a certain extent only ones who played okay for today. Okay but not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emjay Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Never really understood the hype around him, was disappointed when he signed a new deal. Looks as if he could be a threat, but his end product is useless. Gets into some promising areas then just loses possession, falls over, or picks the wrong pass. Awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Complete waste of a squad player. A typical Johnson player whose Opta stats probably speak to a far better player than who actually turns up and has no positive influence on play. 12th-10th all day long. We really aren’t geared up to achieve anything more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 I'm surprised more hasn't been said about how poor Palmer was again today. Another game with a heavy negative impact!

There’s playing poor and giving 110%, and there’s playing poor and going through the motions. There were a couple out there today who put in a shift but it just didn’t come off for them.

But comes on with a team playing shit, played out of position, having been given no run in the team (or minutes of late), and he’s being called out. Plenty of others in the queue today, ahead of Palmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need 9-10 players to be on their game not 4-5. When we recover the ball it seems that the players just go back and put us under pressure. Also the lack of a plan B under LJ is so so evident this season, cant win playing one way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacki Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 O’Dowda is a strange one. In theory, he has all the attributes (just enough pace, great physique, decent technical ability) to be an excellent player in this league but he’s never got close to performing consistently. Because of the physicality he has he’s a classic example of a player with potential, who keeps getting picked because of that potential but who actually achieves very little. If he doesn’t start delivering soon you wonder if he ever will. He’s an infuriating player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
