Come on pommpey I'm getting bored of waiting now lad ...
Thas not let a bit criticism rock thi has tha ?
 



I’m sure he said somewhere that he was at a doo last night so I don’t think he could watch it?
 
Was at my mate's 60th last night. Sorry for the no-show.

Did keep myself updated with my Shiregreen mate who accurately diagnosed a bit of a plop game

I did do a mini-My take in the 'Were we that bad?' thread as I didn't think watching it on record was on. Anyway, here is the C&P.

"Just watched it on record.

No, we weren't that bad, however Swansea were pretty impotent and clumsy, so it doesn't say much. The upside is we didn't concede and didn't look like conceding. No idea how WBA will deal with us next week however.

The formation of the squad and how Slav is dealing with this early season foray suggests he knows that Wilderball is in it's second wave in the side on the pitch and he's trying to vaccinate them against it. In fairness we did look a lot less 'Norwoody' and in defence of him in the second half at least his pings did find players, such as Osborn advancing up the wing. But it's that end result, the cross and the finish, which is critically wanting. We get into areas where we can advance and we either check back, give it to Burke to lose or Didsy is trying fruitlessly to get a shot in on goal.

The midfield didn't miss Fleck at all but Berge is simply a bit part player at times. The rather daft lineup which committed Brewster to Left/Right wingback was puzzling. It was as if Slav is using these first five games as pre season warm ups to decide where he's going next ... which is why I am nowhere near the 'Slav Out' camp and won't be even if we are in the lower region by Xmas and we are still crap. I will be though if he hasn't bleached Wilderball out of our system. I think he is trying to rethread the bar into a 4-4-2 lineup, which I feel is a better move with which to rebuild the squad, jettison the makeweights and string some results together to make a challenge for the top.

Ramsdale 5/10: Good save from Lowe second half and seemingly a bit more settled, however Swansea hardly challenged him
Baldock 5/10: He doesn't like four at the back. He can't get far up that wing and lacks the options he enjoys in a real RWB role
Egan 6/10: Pretty standard outing. He wasn't challenged much, in fairness.
Basham 5/10: Another player who seems ill at ease with four at the back. Not his usual venturing self and coughed up possession meekly at times
Robinson 5/10: Average but uninspiring. A decent block in the first half from him. He's not Championship standard
Berge 5/10: Not impressed. Disappears for long periods, then switches on and takes players on but there's no end product
Norwood 5/10: Some of his set plays were in fact better than recent ones. And for a change his pings found players. But still doing this quarterback schtick, pointing, pointing, pointing. What at?
Burke 3/10: Same old, same old. He made such an impact when he was subbed
McGoldrick 4/10: Uncharacteristically unclinical in front of goal
Brewster 6/10: Played out of position form most of the game and found himself defending most of the time
Sharp 5/10: Missed our best chance, which is unlike him. Feeding off scraps.

Bogle 4/10: Not enough time to impose. I do think that RM in a 4-2-3-1 is a decent position for him
Osborn 6/10: Definitely created better options when he came on and busied himself
McBurnie 3/10: Fouling a lot, falling on the floor and arguing with the ref. Shithousery.

II called my mate from the party during the match. He said, 'Slav looks like a beaten man already'.

Is it just me also, but I can't understand a fucking thing he says to camera. I get it he's not English, our language isn't his tongue. But he talks in riddles. Maybe I am just used to Wilder and his straight talking, but Slav needs to work on his interviews."

Is there really a “Slav out camp?”
 
Disagree with berge getting a 5 ...more like a 3
Ineffectual

Almost certainly

Difficult to differentiate them from the anti-Abdulla Wilderistas at present. But I’m sure that close readers of this forum could already identify a few members of a ‘Slav Out!’ camp in the making.

It‘s coming, folks. It’s coming. And it’s already not very pretty.

I’m not sure whether you watch it differently when on play back, but I pretty much agree with everyone you’ve said (which is rare for me - even a first!). I’d possibly add one to Ramsdale and take one off Sharp, but the comments are spot on. I’ve got a bit of confidence in Slav. He’s not daft, and I think he’ll be quick to remove players where he doesn’t see the benefit.
 
2nd half I forgot who was playing in midfield then I realised it was Berge who was missing for most of it. I just hope new blood mixes it up and players start to realise there is someone who can nick your place if you don't perform.
 
No creativity. Still no signings ( what the hell is the policy ...other than 'let's not spend anything' ? ).
Forwards playing too deep. Berger was awful. Still lacking almost entirely in confidence . Dismal performance.
