Portland Bill Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 3 hours ago, City_USA said: I agree. Feel really bad for him, especially as we have the player to compliment him in KP. Surely SL can see that the same as all the fans, and players for that matter. I'm worried about the players v LJ rumours. No smoke without fire IMO I can confirm the rumours aren’t rumours. I was told these things from someone who works at the club yesterday. i obviously am not going to go into details of who told me, but the new players were hung out to dry in front of all their team mates last week at Huddersfield.

Agreed, there is too much talk from too many sources for something not to be happening, we just have to trust the owners and their insight, they want it as much if not more than most of us, I guess. I would love to see what Chris Houghton could do with this set of players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t sound like Nahki or Benkovic were on the basis that they were both is the squad today?! Could be some truth re Henriksen though I agree re Benkovic being dropped after Tuesday night on basis that I think that Kalas and Baker are our best CB pairing. Nahki is interesting though as rate his more than Wiemann up front......personally, I would have AW right wing instead of Pato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie BCFC Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 3 hours ago, Dynamite Red said: Johnson will always revert to workman like players. Weimann, Diedhoiu, Paterson, COD. Players like Wells, Palmer, Eliasson are wasted under this coach. Can see your point with Palmer and in a way Wells. But Eliasson is joint too assisted in the division? If he’s wasted under than Johnson then imagine him under a manager who he’s not wasted under! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop all 3 of Ashton’s signings that have cost the club a fortune having publicly slated two of them in midweek . This can only end with one being shown the door pretty soon I’d say ! Feel so sorry for Nhaki who must be cursing his luck . A few goals less for QPR and he’d still be there on loan and instead he’s stuck in the middle of a shit storm . What a mess !!! If they ain't good enough or fit enough then they shouldn't be in the team. Ive seen nothing that indicates to me that benkovic or henrikesen are worth a place at this time. Jury out on Wells after today. What a let down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrongagain Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 4 hours ago, REDOXO said: We sign a very good player, bang in form and managed to turn him into a bit part player that doesn’t see the football in a forward position, from the bench. Nuts! Yes Fam has been doing better but getting very poor service, Wells could definitely do better but the way he is being used he will suffer from the same poor service - he should be given the freedom to attack from midfield, which would massively improve attacking play.

cidercity1987 Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Nakhi bless him ain't actually very good. I will keep saying that over and over no matter how many bad reactions I'll get. Henriksson is it some kind of surprise that he's a bad egg when you look at what happened at Hull. Benkovic pointless signing. Johnson how is he still in a job. I rather we didnt have all 4 of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Say what?! I seriously need to watch the last half hour back again because I noticed that Wells dropped into midfield a lot, made a couple of good challenges, played some nice passes and made runs with intent. What did I miss?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today’s team selection made a mockery of previous team selections imho. To me it feels like there is no real plan, just picking players game by game. Players playing today who’ve hardly been involved, and in fairness (to their professionalism) putting in a shift, in another formation change, following a new one that was abandoned after 45 minutes on Tuesday. Team selection is no longer sitting easy with me. The only players who started today, who wasn’t here last season were Pereira and Nagy. Of the signings made this season, Bentley and Afobe were injured, and Gilmartin is more of a coach. Rowe, Henriksen (just signed) and Palmer not in 18. Szmodics on loan at Peterborough. Williams and Massengo on bench, with Wells and Benkovic (both just signed). I feel quite annoyed that this is seen as progress. Totally happy for OTIBers to tell me we are 7th, 2 points off the play-offs, and that I should get some perspective. But today feels like a massive let down.

Kempson Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 9 hours ago, Hampshire reds said: another signing who does not start. its not good enough. if there is truth about the rumours then steve has to do something about it. so much money wasted on good players not playing. Kasey is a good example. I am firmly in the end of the season Johnson out camp, but are we really pretending that Kasey palmer is somehow the answer to all our troubles? It's going to be a long and inconsistent season next year (much like this one) if we are pinning our hopes on him being the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah Fully understand (I don’t use twitter and take it the actual post by the author was a private post rather than a public one ?) You are a sensible balanced poster and I take your view on board I see post match he conceded the team was picked on those that had been here a while and understood what he wanted I see we are back to ‘Players I can trust’ .....Again ! Id pose the question , and if I was SL ensuring I was absolutely clear ’What players , and how many trust the Head Coach’ Anyone who seriously believes this is a happy squad with all the chopping , changing and dropping Is crackers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
