[Harry's Game]

Not playing anyone upfront looks a tactical error

 

[Inter_blade83]

Starting Cannon away from home when he does fuck all closing down is a sackable offence

 

[Rodley]

System just doesn’t look balanced. Lose the ball and we’re wide open straight away. Exactly what Hull fans said.

 

[YES Blade]

O’Hare is a busy player but doesn’t actually create much.

Can say the same for Barry and Brooks, zero quality between them. When Ipswich go forward they look dangerous, we don’t look like we’ll even get a cross in or shot off.

 

[jono_t2000]

This match has reminded me of the
Premier league. We’re playing with zero belief or composure. It’s like we’re happy to hold on to a 0-0.

Think you nailed it.

Look ok but without any belief just hanging on at 0-0 until concede and heads drop

 

[drblade]

Brooks is very poor.

 

[The Hobott]

Solskaer in the crowd. He got a job?

 

[Berkshire Blade]

I remember getting pelters for not rating Brooks. He isn't a starter at championship level. I wouldn't say Barry is either.


Unfortunately we don't have obvious upgrades as traditional wingers

 

[toledo]

I simply cannot see us scoring in this game …. Pathetic going forward ….

 

[harrry1990s]

when does the exciting attacking football start? Have we had a shot yet (this season)?

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Barry is fckin pony, doesnt even press, stands there gawping

 

[Baggers75]

Our Build up play is so slow lethargic and laboured, where as they look sharp quick and inventive….wtf is Selles telling them to do?

 

[Tickhill Blade]

At least we found a use for Cannon. Stand offside while Burrows launches another shit free kick towards McGuinness

 

[HackeyBlade]

Get Brooks off he's making a cunt of himself

 

[espoo blade]

I remember getting pelters for not rating Brooks. He isn't a starter at championship level. I wouldn't say Barry is either.


Unfortunately we don't have obvious upgrades as traditional wingers

Sad but true

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[The Crab]

Barry is this era’s Luke Beckett.

League one at best

 

[harrry1990s]

Stats just said we’ve not had a shot on target this season. Why don’t we give Ole Gunner the second half and see what happens.

 

[ATL Recs]

Brooks is very poor.

Yes he is

 

[Pandev]

Solskaer in the crowd. He got a job?

Who knows?

Interesting he’s there. Would be the style of manger our owners would go for.

I imagine he’s good mates with McKenna

 

[Thrice]

Brooks and Barry are beyond useless right now. Brooks looked so promising last season, but he's really taken a step back this year. Disappointing.

 

[10p]

Brookes is so ineffective. Never seems to take th slightest risk.

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

Our wingers are league Two level

 

[Bladesman101]

Selles is a tool, Hamer on bench while we watch Brooks deliver nothing short of an abysmal performance

 

[Pandev]

Brooks is very poor.

Compare him to Philogene, the gulf in class is mad

 

[71Blade]

Burrows can join Brooks why would you slash at that ffs

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Barry is terrible what the fuck is he trying to do, just cancel his loan and send him back

 

[Blademan89]

Should spring a complete tactical change at HT and catch Ipswich out early.

----------------------Cooper
--------Tanganga Mee Mcguinnes

Seriki -----Matos ---Soumoure---------Burrows

----------------‐------Hamer

-----------------Campbell Barry


Come out fast high quick.

 

[metalblade]

Still not one shot on target

 

[FriethBlade]

Barry and Brooks complete wastes of positions. If Selles thinks Barry is better than Hamer he wants sacking on the spot
