Marvin Johnson: Worst substitute in our history?

[FMBlade1]

Can anyone think of a worse performance and one that has been more costly than that today?

If that mistake happened in the conference it would be a disgrace, but in the championship...

STOP BLAMING THE BIT PART PLAYER. THE FUCKING FIRST TEAMERS HAD FUCKING MULTIPLE CHANCES TO CLEAR IT

 

[Sheff de party]

Enda Stevens (it it was him) was just as culpable for taking it off Basham’s toe when he clearly got a shout.

What a fucking shambles that was last 20 minutes.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

He was just too keen to impress. He made it about himself rather than the team. I still think he has something to offer. Really disappointing from him today though.

Think that was Norwood. Absolutely stupid. He had another stinker today, you can see why he’s stuck at our level.

He, like Freeman, didn’t do anything right all game. O’Connell was poor with the ball. Fleck hasn’t been himself for much of this season, he again wasnt good today.

We can’t have half of the team not performing simultaneously, because we’re not good enough to nick results. Everyone has to be bang at it every game, all season.

Unfortunately this is just not likely, which is why we’re sliding towards mid table again. When the bigger (or, richer) sides invest in January, as you’d expect them to, the gap between us will begin to widen.

He made a mistake that started the lead up to the goal. But the contribution of Stevens for the goal was worse with the shit tackle and Norwood for both goals was shocking. Indeed Norwood and Fleck must have been our worse players today

 

[snootyfenooty]

Also noted that all the bollox started when Duffy was subbed. Again.

This is also true, but the point stands that his performance was woefully irresponsible. Even if they hadn't gone and scored.

His only contribution led to them scoring . Pass the ball and we win the game.

The rest were absolute garbage, but if we hadn’t brought Johnson on, we win that game. So yes, we have a right to do so.

 

[Deadbat]

There were 4 or 5 errors in the goal. Stevens weak defending...Norwood stupidity and then no-one closing down the shot. Everyone will just say it's all Johnson's fault as that fits peoples agendas

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

They were focusing on Johnson on Sky but he lost the ball in Rotherham's half. Stevens (I think) dived in when he didn't need to, and then the ball in was useless. It's going straight to Basham's foot. A bit of communication and we get away with it, but Norwood takes it away from Basham and it's a decent finish. It was a schoolboy goal to concede and basically summed up our performance.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Can anyone think of a worse performance and one that has been more costly than that today?

I would look at the performances of Freeman, Stevens, Egan, Fleck, McGoldrick, Norwood first. All abysmal today and add Basham to that list despite the goal. I have never seen us give the ball away so many times and the defending was Sunday legaue bordering commical.

Blaming a kid that had nowhere to go is poor.

 

[YES Blade]

Johnson lost the ball in their half let’s not forget, still plenty of opportunity to defend it.

 

[Reedy1889]

He was just too keen to impress. He made it about himself rather than the team. I still think he has something to offer. Really disappointing from him today though.

So frustrating as Fleck had made a lung busting burst forward to provide and overlap and probably take the ball towards the corner. The defending if we can call it the turnover was equally as terrible too mind. Poor in so many areas today

 

[Bladesman]

They crossed the ball to us and we still fucked it up.

 

[Carlton Blade]

The rest were absolute garbage, but if we hadn’t brought Johnson on, we win that game. So yes, we have a right to do so.

Balls. He's a loan player who barely plays. We don't lose games on his contributions. 2 full internationals could have defended properly. Instead we were incompetent. So frustrating

 

[Stretch]

Give the lad a break ffs. Complete overreaction. He made a mistake but so did several other players who should play much better.

We deserved nothing today and got something. We'll go again.

 

[metalblade]

What a fuckin muppet

 

[Rob86]

Very harsh, yes he should have knocked it to the corner and chased it, which I thought he’d do as he’s got pace. But plenty happened after that.

The shite tackle on the touch line and then what the fuck was Norwood doing, really what the fuck was he doing. A wank cross into the box, going straight to Basham in 10 yards of space and he slides in. In order of blame:

1) Norwood
2) Stevens
3) Johnson

 

[The Vicar]

Just pass to one of us retain possession but don’t give it away. And then when it is going to basham, Stevens diverts it unfortunately.

Utter shambles, poor performance, Rotherham were well worth the point but we just shot ourself in the foot.

What oh what is CW doing with Clarke, he has offered so little this season I cannot see us anywhere near the top 6 as it is at the moment,

Utterly gutted, a deflection and a gift and a sub standard performance.

 

[Revolution]

Very poor from Johnson, but a lot had to happen for them to score after that. If Norwood got the shout that was an even worse error.

Some poor performances today. Freeman and Fleck in particular. Thank heaven for Henderson.

 

[metalblade]

3 mins into injury time all we had to do was keep the ball ffs feels like a loss and it may as well be.

 

[fireblade]

Can't blame Johnson or Wilder forthe result. We didn't deserve 3 points with the performance we put in over 90 minutes.
Respect to Rotherham they were better in the tackle, faster to the second ball, better at crossing and better at getting on the end of crosses.
Thanks Deano for keeping us in the game. Point gained for me. We are going through a tough time and Tuesday will be another hard game.
Maybe time for Baldock to have a run.

 

[AWetFlannel]

People are talking like a pass would've saved us, as if whoever he passed it to wouldn't have possibly give it away 2 seconds later like we had done all game.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Rotherham are so much like a Warnock side. Combative and a bit agricultural. Jurassic long throws and hoofs to t’big lads hoping for a rebound.
We struggled to cope with it and downright panicked in the last few minutes.

 

[guancheblade]

Enda Stevens (it it was him) was just as culpable for taking it off Basham’s toe when he clearly got a shout.

What a fucking shambles that was last 20 minutes.

Norwood not Enda.

Although Enda didn't do himself any favours diving in on the touchline. At least 4 individual errors in the build up.

 

[true99blade]

So many decisions were wrong in possession today. Predicted it would come back to bite us on the arse.

 

[100% part time blade]

Combination of poor moments for the equaliser. When Johnson came on, I would guess that most people would be saying exactly what I did: “He’ll get it, run with it, and lose it.”
Given that this is the last thing we wanted at that moment, I don’t think it was the time to bring him on. The goal was not all his fault though.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Just pass to one of us retain possession but don’t give it away. And then when it is going to basham, Stevens diverts it unfortunately.

Utter shambles, poor performance, Rotherham were well worth the point but we just shot ourself in the foot.

What oh what is CW doing with Clarke, he has offered so little this season I cannot see us anywhere near the top 6 as it is at the moment,

Utterly gutted, a deflection and a gift and a sub standard performance.

Or just smash it out of the ground?

 

[Bladesman]

He wanted to take them on but he really should have been aware that Fleck was behind him for a pass.

The events after him losing possesion was just a repeat of the mistakes we had been making for the entire match.
