Missing players

[Midland Blade]

Absolutely. My reply was purely to inform the previous poster that it wasn’t a new diagnosis and hence that in isolation wouldn’t explain his absence but if it is in any way related to his girlfriend’s illness he should take as much time off as he needs.

Ah fair enough - interpreted it slightly different which can be easily done online!

Oh well. Looks like the the golden robot gets another start. Wonder what self-face-punching fuckup he makes this week or if he brings down Foderingham taking a goal kick.

I genuinely feel sorry for him. He's in an ever decreasing spiral of diminishing self-confidence, and that affects our performance.

Can we not instruct him to block Foderingham when he charges recklessly out of his area?

He's not having a good patch, by any means, but given he was our only creative option last game there is a benefit of Robinson playing!

The problem with MGW being injured is that the tactic we've employed of 'Give it to MGW and hope he does something good' doesn't work without him.

We'll struggle until he's back or until we sign someone else with a slightly creative bone in their body. Ndiaye could do it but is very hit and miss.

That's just it, isn't it? We have no one who is even remotely 'creative' in and around the fists end of our team who can link, pass, move and go past opposition players

Without MGW we are hopeless. Watch it tonight.

Slow and boring, no pace no creativity, been the case for the last two seasons, unfortunately no manager seems to address this problem?

Missing players are trumped by missing in action players.

Let me finish it off for you, and can't tackle, head a ball or be strong at corners.

 

[Greenblades]

Robinson to score anyone? No?

 

[spikeachu]

Robinson to score anyone? No?

I'll go for a goal and an assist. Both for the opposition.

I wouldn't mind if we had a team of grafters who worked hard instead, but we haven't got either (odd exception).

I'd genuinely love that.

He's going to score directly from a throw, but it won't count. Stick a fiver on it.

 

[Trafford]

He's going to score directly from a throw

I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when we finally made use of Robinson’s long throw again, after not seeing it for ages, in a match in which we had zero aerial threat!!

With McBurnie and Mousset the issue I think is more of a shit attitude.

Neither are fit. Both seem to be constantly getting in trouble or acting the cunt. Both seem to love the extravagant lifestyle their salary brings them and neither of them seem to be arsed about lifting a leg to earn it.

Sadly whilst they are the club, they’ll be a drain on wages and a toxic influence with in the team, best we can hope for from either of them is a career ending injury and to get some money back on the insurance

No one should hope that a professional sportsperson gets a career ending injury.
I prefer to accept that McB has had a bad dose of COVID, has lost weight and needs to put it back on as well as getting match fit.
What has happened/is happening to Mousset is unknown to us all !

They worked hard against Fulham, just one match ago !

And they won't - we have no money or interest from above .

 

[10p]

Can we have another (younger) Duffy please?

 

[Bell4]

What a joy he was to watch - credit Chris for that one

 

[Houston_Blade]

That’s ok then, if they’re having a game of working hard and a game of tossing it off we should at least try tonight.

 

[1889]

I hope if we need a midfielder that Slater comes on before Berge

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

Surely some compassion is in order here. If the rumours are true then whether she was diagnosed last month or years ago, clearly something serious is going on. Being able to be around and support her during whatever is happening is more than enough reason for him to miss a few football games.

Spot on Midland - ffs original poster have some empathy - supporting his wife and family should always be his priority and agree missing a few games of football is neither here nor there in context of that

And the goalie ran out to his penalty spot to catch it - without a blades player near him
