O'Connell

robbiez666 · Dec 30, 2017

Whilst others have dropped bigger clangers, his performances have been getting worse over the last 10 games. He looks like he needs a rest to me. Very sloppy, on and off the ball. Seems to be lacking concentration of late as well.

not suprised playing with Stearman and CCV . How Jake Wright never gets a game I will never know

zablade · Dec 30, 2017

O’Connell and Stearman were not at fault today. You need to be looking and the other side of the defence to see where the issues lay.

Fanny magnet · Dec 30, 2017

I like o Connell but two things bother me he looks a shadow of the player of last year and I've never seen a player miss so many free headed chances from set pieces

Tyler Durden · Dec 30, 2017

I was too busy watching CCV and Gasham fucking up every conceivable thing to notice.....

46 is a lot of games. We haven't got the squad to cover. As soon as international breaks have stopped we are looking tired (possibly - maybe it's just form?)

O'Connell lost track of Madine when he scored though.

biggey blade · Dec 30, 2017

Agreeded to the part about where his form has dropped, I think his defending has dropped but he is still getting up the pitch and putting the crosses in. I think Stevens form has also dropped and he doesn't seem to be putting any balls in the box and when he does they seem to be miles off so if we are expecting O'Connell to get balls in the box why is he not playing Lwb. AdamSufc1997 where was Stearman at fault today? And he was one of the best players on the pitch against Sunderland he seems to be everyones go to when we feel like slagging a player off? Basham was at fault for the goal today not CCV or Stearman.

Agreed. Together with Sharp they were the worst players on the park.

Yep, Sharp was indeed awful.

Sharp wasn’t making any runs or anything. Hardly had a touch. Wheater just had him in his back pocket and had a cigar on the go.

Stearman looked classy as fuck today. Can't see how anyone could highlight his performance. Also don't think Jack was at fault, nor Bash. Much bigger issues than them in today's performance.

OConnell needs to score more. He seems to get on the end of every set piece yet doesn't score

Like I said, he was poor but it was elsewhere that we lost the game.

Bash was skinned three times down the right before they eventually scored. Looked a different player once he went to CB.

Sharp is a lane legend but at the moment is a striker bang out of form. It happens to them all at some point. I don’t get this reasoning by some that “he was played in the wrong match” Bolton at home last season was a great match for him

robbiez666 · Dec 30, 2017

In terms of the goal, the defence was dire.

Agreed. Stearman was quality today, put some great balls out of defence. Cannot believe anyone would slag him off when today's real culprits for our defeat where Bash, CCV and above all Wilder. A very bad day at the office.

Apart from the fact that both were at fault for the only goal of the game?

Like I say, bigger issues. Namely the fact that we couldn't score a single goal against a dire Bolton side.

Maybe, but they were both still at fault. We conceded a goal from open play against a dire Bolton.

Yep, no credit due there. But we should still have figured the fuckers out and at least squeezed a draw from it.

Bladesman · Dec 30, 2017

Jack has been out of form for a few weeks.

I'm the only one who has mentioned stearman and even I didn't think he had a bad game
I was just disappointed how much time and space a plodder like madine was given

sitwell · Dec 30, 2017

Stearman was our best player today.

Don't disagree but still don't you think it's strange that madine had so much time and space today?
He was even running in behind us at one point

Bash along with CCV were absolutely dire. Stearman wasn’t that bad but he wasn’t brilliant same goes for JOC.

Baldock was our best player today, others were much of a muchness for me. Some were really poor.

I disagree. How anyone thinks anyone other than Baldock was our best player is beyond me.

He starts then we don’t lose that game as the kid on the left would never have got round the back.
