[Tony Currie]

Thought he had a great game today with incredible pace (one header not quite up to standard!)


A real option as an attacking left back.

Yeah I thought he was good, I know let's sub him!

 

[Bladey_blade]

Yeah I thought he was good, I know let's sub him!

Yes let's play him until his hammy goes pop

 

[Champagneblade]

He was perfectly fine. You don't fully relax when it's near him but he didn't let the team down.

I would not have taken him off.

Given Hamer would be suspended if he gets booked and Arblaster is still in the early throws of senior football, I would have probably just put him on there.

Clearly not fit. Your making yourself look stupid.

Come on mate… children know he’s not match fit. Hardly plays and you want to make him play 90 minutes against a premier league side.

There’s just common sense.

 

[bakeblade]

If looked perfectly fine and I'm sure could have done another 10/15 mins

 

[Berkshire Blade]

He was okay on the ball but his defensive positioning is truly astonishingly bad!

 

[Bergen Blade]

Larouci hasn't played much of late, so Wilder probably thought he had to take him off at some stage.

And he was probably keen to get McAtee on. McAtee doesn't seem to be in great form though. Two strikers and a midfield including him and Hamer, may be a bit too attacking.

 

[Hamandcheese]

He seems to get subbed regardless of how he plays. He has the 'dodgy' tag now and that's that

He clearly has defensive faults but he makes up for a lot of it with his pace, recovery tackles and ball control

I'd be happy for him to be our LWB next season but that won't happen

 

[Foxy]

Needs a certain song

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

Needs a certain song

Ohhh - Larouci too fast,
His positioning ain't right,
But Trusty at wing back is shite

He’s in the running for the Scapegoat of the Season award.

think it was his best game for us since he arrived.

 

[Carlton Blade]

Seems a nice lad and always puts effort in. Just has games where he looks as positionally lost as anyone I've seen. Today and Villa away have shown he can play a bit though.

Doubt we'll see him after this season but GLTTL

 

[jt64]

He’s in the running for the Scapegoat of the Season award.

Is he even on the shortlist at this stage?

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

He was okay on the ball but his defensive positioning is truly astonishingly bad!

Exactly, people are going way over the top about how good he was today.

Couple of good crossed (huge improvement on those car crash attempts he ballooned behind at wolves) but come on he can’t read the game whatsoever, he’s allover the place.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

He's a really good celebrity who was in the academy of some side in soccer aid quality. Not premier league!

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

He was alright & better than he has been previously which wasn’t hard.

He’s an extremely average footballer & nowhere near a premier league footballer, nothing about today changes my opinion.

 

[Champagneblade]

Didn't seem to be blowing out of his arse to me.

We've developed this somehow fragile nature in accepting that we have to mollycoddle the players.

He's been on the bench for a number of weeks. He should be ready to go.

Jesus, we're asking him to run around a bit for another 30 minutes. Not asking him to run through landmines and dodge gunfire.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

I think he was taken off as mcatee has ability and ossy is trusted more so that could be the swap...

 

[Foxy]

Ohhh - Larouci too fast,

[metalblade]

Wilder takes him off and we are one goal down.

He played well simple as that

McAtee was fucking awful
Was up there with some of the worst individual displays of this season and archer was right up. There with him

McAtee jogging back like the fat kid at school after losing the ball. Needs a kick up the bob harris. As for larouci, yep we see his faults but did well today, pace to burn.

 

[vas borbokis]

I thought it wasn't taking him off that caused the problem, it was Wilder leaving Osbourn in midfield, instead of moving him to left wingback.
We seemed to drop to a back 4 after the sub and one with Trusty moving to LB with no backup LCB. A defence we know too well just can't cope.

Oh and McAttee strolling back when he should have been chasing the runner for their first goal made me think that should be your last minutes in a blades shirt.

McAtee has been bang average for a while
apart from excelling at falling over.
Commentators thought Larouci played very well
and were bemused by his substitution.

That last para is spot on. Lazy mutha fcker.
