Lundstrum bad apple

[cal the blade]

To make it clear I'm not blaming the loss entirely on lunny but he clearly doesn't want to be here for me. And his performance showed that .
The lads scored goals and done well for us in spells but he isn't what we need and he's absolutely NOT a regular premier League player .
sell him while we can because the blokes just not it for me

 

[Sean Thornton]

Missed Baldock out. The worst of the lot.

Personally I can’t agree with that. I know where you’re coming from but the times the others couldn’t get it past the first man and Billy’s abject passing in the box puts GB well down the list.

 

[Booker4]

Lundstrum is being made the scapegoat. Yes, his challenge for the first goal was poor, but it's not his fault we dont appear to have signed a first team starter, improved on McG as our creative 'force' or added a centre forward to improve on Billy. Norwood was poor and Fleck did nothing bar hit the post (and both were awful at corners, yet again)/

I didn't think Lunny played badly but he did make a right mess of the first challenge and that cost us and more importantly he hasn't signed a new contract and therefore that makes him likely to be the scapegoat quite frankly. Why is he not signing the new contract, it can only be money, it would be nice to have clarification from him but that won't happen until he leaves most likely.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Neither

You really think he was excellent second half?

 

[bonobo]

He had a poor first half, but effort and commitment were certainly not the issue.

Get what you mean about Billy but they were all on his left foot. Baldock constantly hits the first man even when he has time and space. Norwood just had a mare.

 

[coolasanidiot]

What a load of Tosh. Lundstram was fine. Wolves are a good team, we gave them 2 goals start. But after that we matched them. ! massive positive Sander oozed class.

But the rest were all OK. Absolute no need to say stupid things.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

I disagree. There was only one good cross from him and the rest along with his corners were poor.
Diving in for the first goal is inexcusable at this level.
In fairness he did seem to be trying but just ineffective.

No way, he put 4 or 5 good curling crosses in 2nd half. The rest of the teams crossing was poor. I lost count of how many corners we had, Norwood, Baldock didn't put a decent cross in. Fleck invisible. We did far more on Lunnys side of the pitch than we did on Flecks.

 

[Blade82]

Wouldn’t surprise me if Lundstram’s next club was Preston. Likewise Rotherham for Sharp, or Middlesbrough for McBurnie etc theres too many players in this squad who wouldn't be taken on by other premier league sides.

The starting XI today was weaker that the 1st game last season.

 

[boggy1959]

This seasons scapegoat sorted then

 

[Bladeinleeds]

His form Means he shouldn’t be in the starting 11 but if berge hadn't got a knock I don’t think he would have been.

A valuable squad player as he runs down his contract.

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

Get him out of the club now what an abject performance and clearly doesn't want to be here
Tin hat firmly in place

Hahahah give over

Lundstram played well


Our midfield should be.

Fleck ——Berge——- Lunny


Maybe now the club will offer him what he deserves and the fans realise he’s but asking for £100,000 a week

I don’t think anyone is blaming the defeat on any one player - apart from the bedwetters posting after ten minutes of the game - but he was poor thought.

All straight to a Wolves defender.
The one real quality cross came from Berge towards the end so it’s not just Lunny who crosses poorly.

fuck me, I can give you effort and commitment but I can’t kick a ball for shit.

You watched that today and thought he earned an improved offer?

Not singling him out like, he wasnt the worst player today, but he didnt play well either.

 

[Rochdaleblade]

I thought Lunny was no worse than most of the others to be honest, apart from his fuck up on the first goal. Wolves are an excellent team and were fantastic in the first half. Lunny set up Flecks chance and would have had a tap in if Billy had more composure. I can't see why people have singled him out on the back of that performance. If his attitude is good enough for Wilder, it is good enough for me.

 

[Stretch]

If he was a bad apple he wouldn't even be training with the first team, never mind playing with them.

He made an error that cost us tonight, and didn't have a great game. But it doesn't mean he is dripping poison into the well.

 

[SwissBlade]

Billy was a positive?

Worked his nuts off, got down that left side created chances, got in the box.

 

[Davalon]

Partly to blame for both goals. Stupid needless dive in for the first and in no man's land for the second when if he'd stayed on the post he could well have cleared it.

That said thought he was better second half and I trust Wilder to judge his commitment and professionalism more than myself.

 

[SuperSonicBlade89]

Lundstrum a scapegoat??
Naaaah.
I wish I took some screenshots of him in this game. Because it was plainly obvious from his demeanour and that mardy look on his face that he wasn't on his game. Yeah he did a bit here and there but that is just basics. First few minutes he looked like a guy distracted... something on his mind.

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

We played well in the second half when berge was in his best position CDM so therefore lundstram should be playing RCM

It’s madness that he’s now become a scapegoat because he wants a wage that he deserves

 

[JayGreen17]

He also doesn’t look as fit as last season, hence him jumping in for the first goal, he was at least athletic last season and why he drove forward to score, I’d rather he wasn’t in the team if his attitude is shit.

Do we even know whats been offered? At best he was bang average tonight. Im not saying he was the worst player, but he wasnt good either. Definitely wouldnt look at that performance and think the club owed him an improved offer.

How do you know what the offer is that’s been improved on ?


At the moment lundstram is our only natural RCM berge is a CDM

It is madness that he’s gonna be out of contract and even madder that were not looking for a replacement

 

[CornwallBlade]

Missed Baldock out. The worst of the lot.

On another night he would have been red carded. Petulant, stupid niggly fouls all game. Perhaps the pressure on his place is getting to him.

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

Worked his nuts off, got down that left side created chances, got in the box.

I respect your opinion, but I can't agree with any that. From what I saw tonight and following on from the end of last season, he's far off the required standard in my opinion.

I'm of the view that that should be has last PL start for us, league sub and cup starter - yes, get him to a 100 goals. But how we've signed him up for a further 2 seasons on decent money is beyond me.

If we don't get someone mobile & competent in the window who can partner McB, and cause a proper threat and we put all our eggs in a Moose & Sharp shaped basket, then we'll properly have our bollocks out.

 

[bonnet de douche]

Obvious that pancakes on here would target Lundstram..pathetic ...he wouldnt Be near the first team squad , never mind the team , if he was a bad influence...let’s look at Norwood Sharp Egan and O, Connells performances ..they were very poor ..by their standards ..no way was Lundstram our worst player ..no where near ...

 

[CornwallBlade]

Absolute dross. All he did was sling hopeful, poor quality balls in from deep. A number of occasions when players were looking for him to make runs in behind he was static. Definitely looked like a man wishing he was somewhere else. Let’s hope his wish comes true

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Can't single him out. Mistake for goal, then in same boat as rest of the team.
