shelts Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 It was a horrible miss. Not for one second do I think it was deliberate. After his performances last season I wanted him to sign permanently for us . His fitness has always been a problem and at his pre season weight we should've pulled the plug, the guy is supposed to be an athlete . The biggest waste of money in my time watching us.

Red-Robbo Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 The question is, was Tomlin's penalty kick (wide of the goal as well as skied to Row ZZ) worse than their #11's open goal miss? Which was the most abject bit of professional football tittery? Both are likely to be mainstays on "What happened next?" rounds of the future....

And of course they missed a chance they missed a chance easier than a penalty, a miss described as worse than Ronnie Rosenthal's for Liverpool many years ago, so your scenario is just that a scenario. if we were in a position that reflects the money spent and start to the season like mid table safety we wouldn't even be having this conversation, but we are having it not because of a penalty miss but because of 5 months of abject misery and piss poor decisions by a piss poor manager and piss poor coaches. oh yes and a dictator.

When he's collecting it on the halfway line he isn't helping anyone except himself as he's bored. No reason he needed to drop deep after Djuric came on either. He needed to run behind him or near him when the ball was lumped forward. I like him as a footballing talent but he drives me insane. A lot of the team do and I would've never played Tomlin with Smith and O'Neil playing together because they're the ultimate pass sideways and backwards players we have. One of them needed to go forward a bit more into pockets of space to get Tomlin some space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that I am clear, you would play Paterson ahead of Tomlin? Yes in that formation with those players. Made a difference having the extra body around Djuric. We weren't bad second half and Burton aren't Rotherham. They have quality and it showed at times. I think we probably shaded them for me in the game that lacked much quality. Just because we are on a negative run doesn't mean there weren't positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHAGa Posted March 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 I've calmed down, it was a stupid post born out of frustration. Apologies. Doesn't make my anger at the quality of the penalty subside though. Again, I feel the players have let LJ down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or a complete lack of care for the club's predicament. How can you take a penalty like that in such a situation? At least get it on target ffs! You're an idiot. And when idiots are in a hole they should stop digging, for the sake of their own credibility. He tried to repeat his successful penalty against S Wednesday - hard, high and straight - but got it wrong. It wasn't woeful, it wasn't deliberate, but it was desperately disappointing. Don't let that disappointment get the better of you. Everyone who's ever taken a penalty will miss at some point, whether you're Gordon Owen, Matt Le Tissier or me on a Sunday morning (I was north of the river and feeling disorientated). Now belt up.

See post above. Posted it just after FT when emotions were running high. It was more out of frustration at the result and my bemusement at the fact that so many on here would rather we hadn't won just to see LJ sacked. It was more aimed at them than Tomlin as it looked like they got their wish by Tomlin missing the pen. Shouldn't have questioned his integrity for the shirt, I was actually one of the ones on here defending Tomlin when there were rumours he'd fell out with LJ. My apologies.

What the ???? Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Penalties have in the past proven that they are not easy to put in the net, just ask all those who have missed in the finals of world cups etc. Did they mean to miss also?

The highlighted sentence is very misleading and does not represent a truthful account of our season so far, between LJ, the coaches and the players they have all let the fans down for 5 months now and he signed most of them.

LJ and his coaches have had 5 months to put it right and have failed spectacularly, I am incredibly interested to know why you believe that LJ should be treated any differently to any of the other 91 league managers now and historically, many of whom are also fighting relegation (but almost certainly with a better record than LJ in the past 5 months) and have been let down by their players (most of which in our case are his signings) any of the 91 other teams would have pulled the trigger before the impact of this 5 month car crash.

Red-Robbo Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 As soon as the penalty was skied, I said to my mate: "I bet there will be conspiracy theorists who say he did that on purpose." It happens. Tomlin took over as our penalty taker after Tammy f-ed one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
