Playing with 10 and 9 Men

[originaltrueblade]

With Clarke playing it’s like we are playing with ten men and with Lundstram in the same team it’s as if we have nine men on the pitch. Clarke as captain up front almost like a statue completely away from most of the play so how does it benefit the team with no leadership.
Lundstram ahead of Duffy how does that possibly work with sideways and backward passes giving the ball away constantly (Evans not much better) with Duffy the most creative player sat on the bench .
Pick eleven players for heavens sake and give the captains armband to a leader like Jack or even Fleck.
As for the defence disgraceful is probably the right word.

We were 3-0 down after half an hour.
2 coming from set pieces.
Leon missing chances in the second half didn't help but that horrible start (that killed the game) had nothing to do with him.

Clarke must suck a mean one to get 90 minutes week in/week out! How does he never get subbed or dropped?!

In a week of throwing toys, bedding and even the baby out of the pram, this one tops the lot.

The village asking for their idiot back, have just been back in touch and said not to bother.

Agreed, when you set up to be cautious and don’t pick your best 11, you get beat. Easy to then blame the defence.

That was a classic trick Clough used - set up defensively and then when you enevitably lose, blame the ‘silly’ mistakes. Mistakes will happen when you face corner after corner and don’t have the ball or any attacking threat on the pitch.

Don’t agree that it was nothing to do with not picking Duffy and picking Clarke, if we’d play our first 11 maybe we’d actually have had possession and be on the front foot instead of defending so many corners.

Moore, Steerman, Freeman, Duffy, Woodburn, Sharp in my opinion are all in our first 11 and should all be played. Wilder has fiddled around to ‘improve’ us and it’s a lot worse.

With talk like that you clearly hate Billy......


Even though it's factual.

Boro had a mighty 7 corners all game. United, with apparently no attacking threat on the pitch, had 6.

Mattress sales gone through the roof with all the bed wetting.


Plus we've know got a Clough comparison.

You'll never be popular on here quoting facts.

Did you catch your fingers in your trouser zip?

You really should concentrate more and stop playing with yourself.

You do know ( ) Dad has me do this to keep you occupied to stop you crayoning on the boardroom walls?

That was a long time ago and the only reason he found out was when you snitched, that I'd eaten the crayons and made the water closet all coloury.

Keep your head down Scott, as daddy isn't too popular on here with the chaps. They are saying that daddy hasn't given the Chris man enough money to spend on footballers, but we all know they'd waste it on silly cars and overpriced t-shirts.

You don't say that to your naughty friends , (Buffy and Dilly is it?) who write rude things about Tuftypops on the dressing room walls.
