Please stop starting Lundstram

[Scooter_mcgavin]

I don't see the point in him at all. Yes he was a boo boy and easy target at the beginning of the season.

But he's started twice now and defeats in both games. I don't see what he offers at all. Supposedly energy, grit and bite in the middle, but I saw absolutley none of this.

Don't get me wrong, there were at least 5/6 players around him that were also poor, but at least you saw something of them.

I hardly remember him having the ball, tackling or anything :-/

Maybe I'm being harsh after watching the worst display for 16 months.

 

[alcoblade]

Yep, the first defeat and the overreaction begins.

 

[Bristol Blade]

He was better than Coutts.

We don't really have much of an option if Coutts is out. Especially for away games.

I'd have started Basham instead of Fleck, but he's the natural replacement for Coutts.

And regardless, he's hardly played. Give the lad a chance. There were a lot of shocking players out there tonight.

 

[Reedy1889]

Worse players than him tonight

 

[Nade]

QPR were well drilled and it hasn't been for the freak goal they wouldnt have sat back so much and we'd have been more creative.

It's frustrating but it's one of those things.

It's as though loosing one of your key midfielders has a negative effect on the team? Strange...

The first 10 minutes he played well until QPR found rhythm. It was a bullying display by them tonight and can see why they beat Wolves. Not our night so onwards and upwards.

 

[Highbury_Blade]

Think it was a mistake to start with brooks, Clarke and Donaldson to be honest.
Mystified why Duffy didn’t start

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Both Centre mids were poor today. Shows how important Fleck is.

I don't think Lundstram is a bad player, he just might not fit the style we are trying to play

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Coutts was poor tonight, Lundstram not that bad IMO. Kept it ticking over in the second half & didn't keep giving the ball away like Couttsy did. QPR did a job on him tbf.

 

[dazzlingblade]

He was better than Coutts.

yep completely, but lets just pick on 1 player when all 11 were poor tonight, i love coutts but he was awful tonight

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Yep, the first defeat and the overreaction begins.

Let's see how Wilder thinks we played.

If he thought Leeds was 'decidedly average', he'll be seething tonight.

 

[loyalblade95]

and you solely blame that on him, jeez what a joke, stop looking for scapegoats to blame everything on and show some praise for the side that lifted us to the top of the championship albeit only briefly

 

[Grappler]

To be honest, I was looking forward to seeing how Clarke and Donaldson played together, two big, fast lads, but it didn't work.

 

[Small Mendonca]

Has Lundstram shagged everyone's missus on here? Some seem to have a real problem with him and I'm not really sure why. There were worse players than him tonight, our star man Mr Coutts being one of them. We won as a team on Friday, we lose as a team tonight.

Why repeat what I've already written?

 

[frechyblade]

A bit unfair. Seems a few had off days, don't see why you need to single out anyone of the players within minutes of the final whistle. They win as a team and lose as one, please get off their backs.

[metalblade]

It does seem like we don't function as good if any one of Coutts, Fleck or Duffy are not starting.

 

[st23]

But he's started twice now and defeats in both games.

He started against Ipswich and we won.

 

[s4-blade]

HE WAS OUR BEST FUCKING PLAYER

But I guess his face won't ever fit with some on here.

 

[Bladesman]

Lundstrum did OK. If he was going to start Clarke and drop Sharp then he should have put Brooks alongside him with Duffy in midfield.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

and you solely blame that on him, jeez what a joke, stop looking for scapegoats to blame everything on and show some praise for the side that lifted us to the top of the championship albeit only briefly

Nope, I said there were 5/6 poor around him.

I just don't see what he offers. My opinion.

 

[DronnieBlade]

Lundstram one of a few positives on the night.

Daft OP.

Disagree, thought Clarke was.

 

[GuangzhouBlade]

I think its unfair to single out Lundstram. Only Basham could really say he played well or even at best okay. From minute one you could tell it was going to be one of those games. The goal sums it up. We're entitled to an off day every so often. QPR to their credit didn't give us any time on the ball but you know things aren't going well when Coutts is firing passes straight into touch and Clarke is a passenger up top. Sure Tufty will have them right for Hull

We’re third in the Championship after 15 games averaging 2 pts per game playing some very attractive football. Yet as soon as we have a bit of an off night threads are made to slag off individual players that by all accounts don’t deserve it. Slagging off any players or staff in the position we’re in is daft. We were in a worse position this time last year weren’t we? and still won the league at a canter! I have every faith in this team, and Lundstram

 

[Minty]

We need another scapegoat quick...........Quinny and Monty have left the building.

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Please stop starting threads saying please stop starting our players.

We lost. We're still third. We're a quarter way into another great season.
