toe_punt Posted 14 April, 2012 Share Posted 14 April, 2012 What has happened to Chaplow since his injury earlier in the season. He was by far the worst player on the pitch today. Just like the last few times he's played. Utter garbage. Can't pass, can't shoot, gives away the ball every time. Fonta nd Guly have been woeful lately, Chaplow has been woeful squared.

BadgerBadger Posted 14 April, 2012 Share Posted 14 April, 2012 Not sure about this Fonta you speak of but for sure Chaplow has not regained his prowess since injury. Remember when he was the mutts nuts to many a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raging Bull Posted 14 April, 2012 Share Posted 14 April, 2012 He's getting better and was much better in the short time he was on in the second half, he'll come good again cos he was defiantly showing old signs. Was none too happy at being subbed either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was none too happy at being subbed either. Watch the game again he was awful. First touch a joke. Loads of times he had it and we had 3 in box and he didn't beat the first man with the cross. He was taken off because when we scored he kicked balk into crowd and then did another foul and was already on a booking and the ref told Nigel that he was close to be sent off. Good referee for me. Pynchon or falque what's going on there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Posted 14 April, 2012 Share Posted 14 April, 2012 He wasn't rubbish, if want to talk about rubbish talk about Guly FFS. Guly is a better player than Chaplow for me. Chaplow has played well for roughly 2 months since he's been here. Was superb sept-oct and a bit of nov but was not great last season in centre mid at all. Guly scored goals up to dec when he's been poor granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersonic Posted 14 April, 2012 Share Posted 14 April, 2012 If Guly played like Chaplow did last night there would be mayhem on here.

Exactly, it's only a matter of time until he turns those good posisitions he finds himself in into assits. The blokes got great energy and his touch will come back. He'll also be bang up for the Peterborough game to put Fergie in his place if he's selected to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 14 April, 2012 Share Posted 14 April, 2012 He was great against Palace, but was a little poor in the first half last night. His touch was off and that swinging miss hit summed his half up! He was fired up though and he would have been sent off, that's why he was pulled. I'd still start him @ Posh.

Dig Dig Posted 14 April, 2012 Share Posted 14 April, 2012 What utter b/llocks. He is getting better with every game and last night he was only singled out by a few divs because he got himself into great positions with regularity. If Guly had put that performance in you would be spitting blood today. He was woeful. How did Chaplow contribute to the team last night? One shot which was going into the side net.....can't think of anything else except for poor crossing, poor passing and poor control. There is more to being a footballer than running around loads. If they want that, I could a similar job but fact is you need players who can at least trap and ball and pass like a professional footballer. I know guly can be frustrating but I've never seen him play that poorly before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Lion Tamer Posted 14 April, 2012 Share Posted 14 April, 2012 Chaplow is not a RM, he is a CM, although I still think he is probably our best bet at RM because he is the best at protecting the RB. He was also getting into good positions going forward but the trouble is he's not very good at crossing (because as I say, he's not a RM). He's much better at arriving in the box late to finish a move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out wide he has more space and a poor touch tends to not lead to giving away a goalscoring opportunity. He'll be fine on Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK the 2nd Posted 14 April, 2012 Share Posted 14 April, 2012 Chaplow had a few poor touches last night but was creating acres of space for himself and pulling their defence all over the place. He would have stayed on if he wasn't on a yellow, in my opinion. As for Guly I was surprised he played so deep last night given we were 2-1 down but assume he was following instructions?

Noodles34 Posted 14 April, 2012 Share Posted 14 April, 2012 tbf Chaplow got himself in some good positions, particulary in the 1st half. But he made some woeful decisions on what to do with the ball, though I think it might have helped if Butterfield had overlapped a bit more. The foul on their keeper worried me, why would you do something that stupid? The ref got that right, but some ref's would have had him off immediately. I thought Chaplow was very good at Palace, there is no way anyone is better at RM presently, and given his determination and effort I would stick with him at P'boro, unlike others who come on and pay a holding midfield role!!

david in sweden Posted 14 April, 2012 Share Posted 14 April, 2012 (edited) What has happened to Chaplow since his injury earlier in the season.QUOTE] Thanks to a good pre-season. Quite a few players looked a cut above themselves from last seasons L1 performances. Chaplow was MOM a few times during the Autumn, but his injury kept him out for quite a time. Getting back to fitness is one thing..but hitting that top form again takes a little longer. Edited 15 April, 2012 by david in sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't actually that bad, he went in to win the ball and just slid and he pulled his feet round to stop himself going in with his studs.

Rasiak-9- Posted 14 April, 2012 Share Posted 14 April, 2012 Chaplow and Hammond continuously gave the ball away and did nothing going forward.

He was excellent in negating the influence of McAnuff until it became obvious he wasn't a threat and we needed more attacking presence, plus he'd been booked, hence the substitution. I thought Hammond was less effective and was directly responsible for losing the ball for Reading's second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete rubbish last night. The RM is a serious issue I thought Chaplow played very well, booking and control the one time when Harte blocked him off aside. He was getting forward so much and nullified his man so well (it was McAnuff I was worried about before kick off), Adkins realised we could put De Ridder in there instead.

The9 Posted 14 April, 2012 Share Posted 14 April, 2012 He wasn't rubbish, if want to talk about rubbish talk about Guly FFS. Guly basically had a 95% pass completion when he got on the pitch and had clearly been told to sit in front of the defence and try and open Reading up by passing the ball quickly across the pitch, which he did perfectly well. He then sat deep as the build up went wide and came forward into the space to link play in the middle/attacking third when the space opened up. The complete duckface behind me kept slagging him off for not running forward into space that didn't exist, and usually 2 seconds later when the space opened up, he'd already moved into it, had the ball and moved it on. Some people just want to slate him for not running everywhere and chasing everything down for 90 minutes, which is basically someone else's job which he nevertheless does a fair bit of the time anyway. I just don't get the criticism 90% of the time, even considering his languid style and a technique of putting his first touch 5 yards away into space to allow him to accelerate onto it.

I am assuming you were at the game and didn't have the benefit of tv replays. I was yeah, right in line in Itchen 4, my point though was the ball was never going to be won, and yeah, it wasn't that bad, but it was reckless and that is the sort of challenge that see some ref's send someone off, and that would not have helped, its one of Chaplow's bad points.

There is no point running into space if you can't do anything once you're there. In any case he didn't really break forward that much. He kept playing it back to butters to put an angled cross in. Sorry but there is no way Chaplow had a good game last night and if Guly had started and put in a similar performance not many would stick up for him on here.
