Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 3 March, 2011 Share Posted 3 March, 2011 Personally, however **** we was, I think Paul Wotton was this player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeg Posted 3 March, 2011 Share Posted 3 March, 2011 Likely to be shot down in flames, but I feel less than inspired by our current on field captain. We see the odd flash of eagerness and hearty tackle, but I feel that at times he looks laboured and unaware of being closed down by opposition players more than once. I can't recall the last time he was MOTM, which is what I would hope a captain to be in the running for every game, those around him get a comment on the drive home. As FF already alluded to we do need a leader on the pitch, not an often invisible captain. you shouldn't be shot down John Boy .. mainly because your right .. nowhere near a consistent 90 min player (far from it) .. pushed off the ball far too easily at times .. with chaplow not playing well either .. well thats your midfield knackered .. yes they CAN both play but not enough even for this league there's also a distinct lack of settled and effective pairings all over the field - ideally you want the centre backs, midfields, left and right side and front two to form a real partnership - one where they almost know the other players next move .. we havent got that anywhere on the pitch at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted 3 March, 2011 Share Posted 3 March, 2011 I have heard many fans say this about us at the moment and it is tough trying to put a finger on just what it is that is lacking. Driving home last night I gave it some thought. "No direction home". I just wish we had more guidance and nous on the pitch – I think this maybe the clue to solving the puzzle. There was a distinct lack of authoritive, calming mature leadership last night with the result we ended the game with the likes of Lallana – who was booked for protesting - and Barnard almost hysterically appealing for anything and everything. In the last 5 minutes we were reduced to being a rabble which played into Walsall's hands. Now had we had an Alan Ball or Jimmy Case in the side then it would probably have ended 4-1 and the M40 would have been a much smoother place to drive. So, note to Nige and Nicola: PLAN A -I know the likes of Jimmy and Alan don’t grow on trees anymore but that is the sort of player we could do with as we enter what is sure to be an increasingly frenzied run in. Give us a leader and promotion can still be ours...automatically! Plan B - Perhaps it is time to start practising pens. I dont think many of the players are playing consistently very well all the time Gully OXO Harding Davis and Chaplow being prime examples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carljack Posted 3 March, 2011 Share Posted 3 March, 2011 I thought I had tried to explain in the original post why? Think your post heading "somethings just not right" is correct but not for the reasons you give,since we beat Huddersfield 4-1 at home we have been on a downward slope (Not a spiral) the poor displays are becoming more frequent,from the few snippets I have heard recently the camp is not as happy as Nigel would have everyone believe,I just hope we can stabilise soon as we will need all the team spirit we can muster between now and May.

A few on here have been saying similair things for a while and getting shot down for it. Have you got something concrete or is it just a friend of a friend konws the guy who cleans the toilets at SMS type of thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
