Jordan Tansley Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Thought it had more to do with taking Taylor off and changing the shape. Elliot was a complete waste of a player. No point in him being there at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Tansley Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 It's quite sad really, made about three tackles all game, tripped over the ball four or five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUEBRIT66 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 It's quite sad really, made about three tackles all game, tripped over the ball four or five. Serious question JT, If you think ME is that bad (like you thought LF was, but the manager persisted in playing him) why does SOD play him and wheres this passing flowing football SOD loves ?

Jordan Tansley Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 There were glimpses. We scored a great goal that was a really good move, Waggy got in a few times. I don't think Elliot is horrendous, he just really was today. So bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I too didn't think Reid needed subbing, he looked lively and interested and very unlucky not to score a great goal. Yes, I understand our young players need looking after but the change just invited Oldham to continue to pressure us. I haven't checked their corner count but I bet it's double ours, never mind all the free kick and throw in's we give them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Elliot is horrendous, he just really was today. So bad. He made more of a contribution than Pack, broke up the play and even played a through cross field balls. Granted he looked like bambi on ice at times but he wasn't our worst midfielder today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodEmperor Palpatine Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Reid barring a few flashes wasn't that great today... very lightweight and seems to be in the same mould as JET, not trying to get to the ball. Good player but needs to further develop and I am sure he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne allisons tongues Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I think sod summed up it up on the radio Playing 433 we were being overran in midfield and if we play jet and Reid we have no one on the left so are left open so tried to help the team. Not sure what is the answer is but if we play Reid we can't play jet as well for we are to open but as our best players currently we need to play.

Harry Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 anyone noticed how often this has happened this season. he is our most important player behind JET This is a typical reaction by supporters of any given club to any given local player. Reid was average today. As was the rest of the midfield. Did he deserve to be subbed? Don't know - it could've been any of the midfield. Is he exempt from criticism? No, he shouldn't be, but in the eyes of most fans he is exempt, because he's local. Reid, Pack, Elliot & Wagstaff have been our most-used midfielders this season. Of those 4, and considering their styles of play and their own strengths and also their roles in the team, I'd have expected a goal or two out of Bobby so far? What's he contributed to the scoresheet? Nothing. I'm not criticising him, I like the kid and think he'll turn into a good player. But he shouldn't be exempt from critique just because he's local. He should have contributed more so far, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but that's BS. He made much more effort in terrorising the defence than JET, Taylor and that complete waster Pack in the first half. If he'd subbed the latter for Bryan we'd have been far more of a threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One class effort deserved a goal when he lobbed the keeper and that was it... other than that he was rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Tansley Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Only a GREAT goal because your golden boy was involved. No, mainly because it was a flowing move finished with a bicycle kick. Hardly a golden boy any way, I just happen to rate his contribution. We win more with him in the team anyway... But you're a bit of a clown so what's the point in replying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may well be the case but a win once in a blue moon is nothing to write home about and i think it's more of a case of bring on the clowns to be honest.

Lew-T Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Reid was crap - marginally worse than Elliott who at least got his foot in a few times. I saw Pack pull out of at least two 50/50s which is something that needs sorting. Wagstaff had a poor game but kept going. That midfield was collectively rubbish yesterday and they gave Oldham the freedom of the pitch. As for the centre backs......god help us. Having said all that, how many saves did Parish have to make - the same as their keeper, hardly any. It was a very low standard, poor game where Oldham at least tried to play football in difficult conditions. They deserved the three points not just the one. We robbed a point yesterday and thats the only positive I can take from it. I thought Williams had a great game at centre back. Flint did okay, saying that I actually thought our whole defence looked fine. Midfield was the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK0wnag3 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 In the second half against Oldham, I thought we fatigued horribly in the second half. It could be a team issue, coinciding with the fact that Reid is often first off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been our best player all season, and it always goes to ratshit, unless he's playing.As for the likes of Elliott...less said the better...Yesterday was a classic case of why Reid should indeeed has to stay on, and why Elliott should never ever wear a City shirt again...
