Its soul destroying when the team is announced.match winning players on the bench is infuriating.
Sorry, but if team selection isn't his fault, who's is it?So frustrating to listen to him. Tbf though it isn't really his fault , you know exactly what your getting with him and he's done nothing that wasn't expected or predictable. You can't hire a guy who you know won't play flair players or smaller more technical or attacking players and then be surprised when he doesn't play them
I don't think you got the jist of the post. In no way am I saying he isn't to blame, what I'm doing is highlighting the absolute bollocks of an appointment in the 1st place and to expect that he'd do anything else than what he has done.Sorry, but if team selection isn't his fault, who's is it?
The Dinosaurs Hodgson and Warnock aren’t doing too badly!It beggars belief to question the quality when he insists on picking Maxwell and has our players with footballing ability consistently on the bench - Bowler, Poveda, Patino etc. He’s a dinosaur who is clueless. Please get rid now and appoint Dobbie. It will be tragic when we go down as the team spirit is excellent and we certainly have enough Championship players at the club.
Which goes to show that McCarthy is even a low grade dinosaurThe Dinosaurs Hodgson and Warnock aren’t doing too badly!
He keeps getting picked though....The free kick was all Maxwell's faul. He blamed the wall too but he set that up.
Agreed, he has to set the wall to cover that ball not going around the outside and set himself to cover anything that he sees direct.The free kick was all Maxwell's faul. He blamed the wall too but he set that up.
I noticed when Keshi joined the wall he was stood at least a foot further over to the left, but was moved across by Maxwell. A goal on that side is unforgivable whether it's the wall splitting or even worse, going round the side of it.I just checked back on the goals and McCarthy was talking absolute horseshite about the wall not doing its job. Keshi was on the left and the ball went a good foot to the left of his head. Unless he's been doing neck expansion training in his period off he has no chance of reaching it. If Maxwell was gambling everything on the ball going to the right there should have been another player to the left of him, simple as that. Yet another misjudgement, so amateurish.
It went straight round the side. Amateur hour.I noticed when Keshi joined the wall he was stood at least a foot further over to the left, but was moved across by Maxwell. A goal on that side is unforgivable whether it's the wall splitting or even worse, going round the side of it.
And McCarthy covered up fpr Maxwell and put the blame on Keshi (by reference to the last man) in his interview. Make of that what you will.It went straight round the side. Amateur hour.
I think Whiteman completely hoodwinked Maxwell into thinking he was crossing it.If that had been a Charlie Adam free kick we would be lauding it. A good strike that exploited a small weakness in the defence.
Defensive disorganisation which we have suffered from all season. Whether set plays or open play we have not been good at the basics in defence.I think Whiteman completely hoodwinked Maxwell into thinking he was crossing it.
By the time he realises it’s too late.
Not sure why he was shouting at the wall though .
Looked a bit shaky all afternoon, surprised he’s kept Grimshaw out for so long.
