Chivs Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 What a dire game of football!I can honestly say that as the first half progressed I just knew that we were going to lose 0-1. And so it came to be.But, the loss was aided by Johnson's incredibly inept double substitution that changed the formation to 4-3-3 ish.Will Johnson explain himself? I thought we had built up a head of steam just before the substitutions. Then we introduced Stewart (please, will all the Stewart fans now except that he is well past his best and an unwanted luxury) and Andrews. This was the first time that I have seen Andrews and hopefully the last. He is another of Johnson's mystery signings. Does anyone think he is better than Gillespie? Did Johnson's brother get paid for this loan?We started with two new defenders at the back. Green looked OK and Fontaine was so-so but does anyone think they shone out? These Johnson loans are beginning to fit a pattern. The pattern being that they are crap and get sent back to their clubs (Joseph, Youga etc) while the original players (Woodman) perform at least as well. I appreciate that Woodman and Carey weren't available today but Keogh and Partridge were.Why did we start with Wilkshire who last made a tackle in 1993. Presumably Johnson knows that Brentford are a physical team. My gran could out-tackle Wilkshire and she's been dead 10 years.Finally, if even Brooker doesn't bother to try you know that we are in trouble.I'm still (just) willing to give Johnson the benefit of the doubt. We were excellent against Swansea for instance. However, his decisions are looking increasingly bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were excellent against Swansea for instance. However, his decisions are looking increasingly bizarre.The change of formation that came from the double substitution which made the game more congested when it needed to be spread out did cost our team the game. The other major clanger Johnson dropped today was the inclusion of Wilkshire - he id dead wood and needs to be shipped out as soon as we can. No fight in him at all.

Ashcott Boy Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 I must admit that we did miss Cotterill on the right of midfield and it looked as if we lost a lot of width especially after the substitutions were made. Stewart got a huge cheer when he came on butdidnt do much apart from firing a powerful shot at the keeper. Andrew i thought did OK, he has a lot of pace and was willing to chase things down but i thought he should have done much better with his chance.The defence wasnt that bad today but i think we did miss Woodman and Carey. Keogh was an option but i don't see the point of calling Partridge back for one game especially after the way hes been playing recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex1089 Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Andrew did nothing wrong what-so-ever, showed a good turn of pace and had a hard chance to score, got a knock which then made him less effective, someone that deserves a big chance. Stewart was simply terrible and hopefully everyone can see that now. I wouldn't say johnson lost us the game to be honest because that was the time in the game where we started dominating and could have scored with brooker, stewart and Andrew chances.

It was Johnson. Therefore, Johnson and only Johnson is responsible for his availability. Nevertheless, Johnson is bringing in loans who are no better than Partridge.

thatcham red Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 How many shots did Bas get in today, let alone on target? At least stewart posed some threat.

Guest revkev Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 It was a dreadful performance by two poor teams. The difference between the two was that Brentford looked like scoring when going forward, whereas City would still be playing now and still would't have found the back of the net.Not one player distinguished themselves today, can hardly believe the transformation from a squad which were more than up for it against Swansea two weeks ago.

His post clearly states Parto was ''available'' when he is away on loan with a non-call back clause. Hence, totally unavailable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myoudale Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Why did we start with Wilkshire who last made a tackle in 1993. Presumably Johnson knows that Brentford are a physical team. My gran could out-tackle Wilkshire and she's been dead 10 years.I think he started because when he is on his game he is the best by far midfield player we have, who can create chances and CAN tackle and does. I'm suprised he isnt started ever game, hes to good not to. I bet your family are happy about you talking about your gran like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swindon Hater Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Pople cry on here about starting Stewart and Wilkshire, I have always said Stewart is past it big time, and Wilkshire is too lightweight and despite being a good player is a liabiliy.I was proved right today, yet the Stewart fans still say "oh it's because he's trying too hard and can't shoot properly, as his emotions boil over, you'll see him at his best soon" - Yeah right!
