Time to bin the codgers

[stephen lee]

Sharp clark and donaldson are clearly to slow to get us into the play offs. Maybe its time for younger faster players to be given a chance . Brooks must play against cardiff and also put some of the other youngens on the bench. Not over yet but since christmas the oldens have looked , well i guess old

I'd like to see a forward line of toddlers - just for the first half - then they can have their naps.

 

[TJB.]

On another day Sharp could've had at least two, Clarke had a great chance and Clayton had a couple himself. Their keeper pulled off some cracking saves.

Life in old dogs yet. Just didn't quite fall for us.

 

[FTPE]

Is that it then? Pace as a striker or you're useless!? I will have to Let Tottenham know asap.

 

[Inter_blade83]

Bollocks. All three were in the right places at the right times. Just need one goal off the arse and they'll start scoring again!

 

[Stretch]

If Brooks or Holmes doesn't start against Cardiff [assuming Duffy is still out] then I give up to be honest.

The midfield played well today but we need some more spark going forward. Simple as.

Hopefully Wilson will be available too.

I hope you don't mind me saying Stephen Lee but what bobar! Sharp Clark and Donaldson nearly had goals but for some great saves. Or maybe we could do without their combined 33 goals........

When does Usain Bolt sign for Borussia Dortmund, anyone know?

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Dont want to get into the playoffs,just extends the season and if you lose out it can have adverse effect,look at Pigs and Reading.

 

[Rob86]

Not lacking pace, lacking finishing the chances off !

Enter Basham

 

[Jehovah]

Page is irrelevant to today's game. Poor finishing is relevant.

 

[FTPE]

Off day for the strikers.
Clarke and Donalson made those chances for themselves, how would pace or age have helped their end product?

As for Sharps two big chances, he hardy had to move let alone sprint like Kyle Walker.

Some fans don't half talk bollocks, and those that do certainly shouldn't start off new forum threads...............

 

[yorkshirecoast]

The finishing today was pathetic. We’ve missed a fair few sitters in recent games but this was the worst yet. So frustrating as 3 points were there for the taking.

More spark going forward has been our problem for some time. Not today though. I thought the midfield were fab today. Played with the verve and tenacity we’ve been missing for a while. Certainly not their fault we didn’t score a hatful.

And as for Wilson...Why do you hope he’s available? He’s not done much for us so far.

Just something a bit different, he certainly he has some pace and I hope can offer something before the season ends, otherwise it will only be described as a disappointing loan spell. And I agree the midfield played well today, as I posted before.

 

[Superbillywhitehurst]

Has Wilson had a fair chance ?

 

[Snowman]

Has Wilson had a fair chance ?

Yes.

Some fans have their own opinions and can start a thread if they like.

Some other fans are snidey bastards who make shithouse comments about other posters who start threads.

 

[Superbillywhitehurst]

How ?.he not played much 1st team football in over a year. Plus look at his scoring record since he joined and Clarks record this calendar year .i feel a 2-3 game run and he may find his feet. Probably been trying too hard when he has had a chance

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

That's nearly as much bollocks as the OP...

Who would want the experience of being in the Play Offs? Not like it would give our young guys anything beneficial or give us fans something to enjoy... Let's just settle for mediocrity...

Wilder obviously thinks Holmes isn’t good enough, a bit strange after he pursued him for so long.

I would imagine the long trips for Wales stopped Brooks starting today.

there’s more to selection than simply being good enough

good idea naat to lose. I'd like to see the kids maybe at home tyler smith on the bench for starters

 

[Superbillywhitehurst]

We keep making excuses for Brooks not starting. I feel Wilder is being too protective of him. Keep saying he is a £10mil player .WELL PLAY HIM

 

[Lil red rooster]

brooks is still recovering from his virus I wouldn't judge him at the moment,give him time.

he's a lot to learn yet as we'v seen.

 

[Superbillywhitehurst]

Best way to learn is by playing .he will make mistakes but that's how you learn

When Duffy isn’t available it looks the natural fit to play Holmes instead.. why isn’t he playing him then?

And, of course, you are in the best position to make a rational judgement on this (opinions notwithstanding)?
