DayRider1984 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 All i can say is what a waste of space! All he does is pass sideways and backwards. Cant or doesnt tackle and very rarely tracks back. He doesnt protect the back 4 and yet he doesnt create anything so can someone please tell me why he is in the team? Just because he is bristolian doesnt mean hes good enough! first player we need to get out the team if we want a chance at winning games! was an absolute joke how he got man of the match. I accept the rest of the team werent great but we might get somewhere if he wasnt in the team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only been a season ticket holder for the last 15 years! well yes he did plenty of sideways and backwards passing! He brings nothing to the midfield, morris was rubbish to i agree but imo skuse hasnt performed for a while and needs to be shown the bench!

fka dagest Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Yet again the Cole Skuse fan club voted for the boy wonder as MOM. Absolutely farcical. Although he wasn't our worst player tonight, the faith in him shown by so many is just bewildering. Except backwards and sideways passes I just can't see what he brings to the team.

Harry Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 You've confused Skuse with Morris. Skuse did plenty tonight, if you can't see that then I don't believe you were at the game - or at least if you were, you don't know what you're watching. I assume you're on some sort of wind-up. If you want to compare the 2 central midfielders tonight, Morris is waaaay ahead of Skuse. Skuse was incredibly poor. How he was given MOM I'll never know. In my opinion MOM was either Davies or Morris. Morris spent a lot of time tonight telling Skuse what to do and where to go. Skuse has no idea how to track his runner. Countless times tonight he was caught out with a simple run from midfield (as I've tried to point out many times on here). I honestly don't know what people are seeing to continue to defend him? I knew there would be some people on here tonight slating Morris. In the 2nd half he made a couple of errors and the crowd started groaning but for the majority of the game he was at least attempting to be both creative and destructive. The amount of headers he was never going to win due to his size but managed to at least put the opposition player off. The amount of times he was battling for the 2nd ball. One in particular in the 2nd half when McManus fluffed a header in our box, Morris was in the right place to ensure he was able to battle for the 2nd ball and make the clearance. You might like to recall that it was Morris whose industry and creativity created the corner from which we won the penalty. I didn't see Skuse influencing the game in any way whatsoever. When under pressure Skuse would help the ball on to nowhere. A number of times tonight Morris received the ball under pressure and had the nouse to retain the ball and play his way out of it. He battled all day, ran all day, and was at least attempting to create and retain the ball. Skuse did none of this. Please go and buy the dvd of the game and watch it again.

reddoc Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Skuse offers nothing and my concern is that season after season,we've relied on either him or Elliot to dominate central midfield. Over this entire period win or lose our possession stats are appalling which inevitably leads to the issues we have either upfront or currently defensively. Elliot can win the ball and is better tracking back but can't control the ball or pass. Skuse has better ball control. That's it. He does f all else.

Surely playing a pass under pressure is what he is paid to do? what do you expect the opposition to do, just stand off and let him pass it where ever he likes? oh wait thats what we do when they have the ball! maybe i should question your knowledge of football. im not asking for a Lampard but surely he should be confident in his ability to look up and play a pass forward to one of his team mates. Theres plenty of players who could pass it sideways and backwards (lee johnson was good at that to). He has and always will be the "jack of all trades and master of none" imo.

Harry Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 No first touch, also with the side ways passing. Built like a broom handle. Not one through ball or imaginative pass. Skuse all day long for me I'm confused. You've just described Skuse? Please tell me when Skuse played an imaginitive ball forward tonight? Please tell me when he tracked his runner? Skuse is good at receiving the ball in space and helping it on either 10 yards sideways or 10 yards backwards. And before you say that's all good for ball retention, he usually passes it before he attempts to draw a man and so the next player he passes to is immediately under pressure. For me tonight, Morris was both getting in peoples faces, battling for the 2nd ball and showed he could control and pass a ball when under pressure. You're possibly referring to the 5 minute spell at about 60-65 minutes where Morris made a couple of mistakes, but aside from that he was one of our better players out there tonight. Did you not notice how he created the corner which resulted in our penalty. Please please please tell me what Skuse did tonight that influenced the game in any way? I'd really like someone to tell me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete1975Legend Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I been saying this for over a season. As people know I was a lee Johnson fan but he wasn't half as bad as skuse yet he got pelted week after week. Unfortunately some are blinded because he's local.

redcherryberry Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 That time second half when he had no safe sideways or backwards pass on he was for once forced to take responsibility on the ball. He had time & space plenty of options infront of him & what did he do? Dinked it forward half heartedly straight to one of theirs. Sums Skuse up which is completely clueless.

bearded_red Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 He was poor tonight and he hasn't been anywhere near his best since he came back from injury. I rate Skuse highly, but sometimes he really fails to stamp his authority on games and tonight was an example of that. How he got MOTM I do not know. However, he still was much, much better than his midfield 'partner'. I really want Morris to be a good player as he could possibly give us something we lack, but for the third time out of three he was poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the only option surely it's better than just lumping the ball forward and hoping somebody gets on the end of it!

I for 1 rate Skuse he's IMO worthy of a place in the side I have no problems in retaining possession & yes sideways & backwards is something thats needed sometimes. But time and again Baldock & Davies to a degree were making runs off the shoulder of last defender waiting for someone to make the killer pass. Unfortunately the pass never arrived. All our midfield did was slow the game down. A couple of times we had the chance to play a quick ball out wide & stretch Burnleys defence but no our midfield slowed it down, passed it backwards/sidewards. So annoying! As an aside we should put a camera on Baldock and play it to team to show them the runs he makes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
