Clever Fox

Cooper had the team at it's freshest early season and lets be honest we were very lucky in most of those early games. He also had NDiddi then before his injuryand Mads before his. I'm not saying Ruud is the answer but Ruud has had to operate without both as well as not knowing the players he had to pick from. Ward in his first game a shining example. You can actuly see structure and paterns of play in Ruuds teams. No he's not Enzo but given time and a chance to bring in his own signings I think he can do a job here. Many Fans wanted Enzo out early doors and look were he has Chelsea in half a season. Our current problems are more to do with the quality of the squad and that's down to Rudkin, Glover and Cooper and Rogers. Not Ruud. When he get's to sign a couple of his own players then we'll see how good he can be. But at least he had the players putting in a real effort last Saturday. If he can keep that level of committment from them we're bound to win some more games despite the failings within the squad.

He was a disaster here. He said he didn't mind losing pre season friendlies, Then continues to lose when the season started. Then he says something like he expects players to know how to play the game. His signings are the reason we're in such a mess now. Ruud is having to work with his failings.

I'm disappointed in Mavididi, He hasn't kicked on this season. I was expecting to see him continue from last season even though the opposition would be better. But he hasn't. When he does get to play he goes on solo runs too often instead of involving others in progressing the ball up the Pitch. He needs to work harder at his game which we haven't seen any evidence of. Bilal has more skill in his little toe. Mav could learn a lot from him. I wouldn't be opposed to trying him down the middle though, Where defenders might be afraid to tackle him. Or even on the right where he can cut inside also. However until we get Ricardo back to help ot throw in a couple of the young players it's hard to see where the next win will come from.

I feel sorry for the players today, They gave it everything in terms of effort but just not good enough. The poor decisions in recruitment the past few seasons are costing us dearly. The patterns of play were better today when braking forward, but our lack of pace and a physical presence is costing us every game we play. Not sure what Ruud can do with the players he has to choose from except keep working with them trying to find something.

I thought we should have signed him a few seasons ago when he was playing well and scoring adecent few goals to help win games. Now it's too late. We need to find young hungry players for all positions.

We should have taken the money but he's here now until the Summer. If Iwasd him I'd be busting a gut to show waht I can do between now and the Summer. I think he just needs to toughen up a bit and move a bit quicker, Then he'll have a decent career in the game.

He was such a modest man who never promoted himself unlike many of the modern players. I always thought he was the better keeper between him and Shilton. He was one of the first to demonstrate just how important an Art Goalkeeping is. Rip Gordon. Your legacy will live on.

Cheap doesn't have to mean poor or bad players. It's all about who is doing the picking. Think of Mahrez, Kante. You can find that quality if you search enough. Buy cheap build and sell high.

I didn't hear any of that. I hope it's not too serious as we can't afford to lose him also from the squad.

I thought we should have brought on Mav to replace Daka and play him down the middle. He's comfortable with the ball and could have brought others into the game. Instead Facundo was like a rabbit in headlights and didn't know were he should be.

Facundo was totally lost when he came on.

I thought Monga should have come on with at least 20 minutes to go. How much worse could he be than Ayew who was finished after 65 minutes. With his pace running at Utd you never know what happens.

I think rather than blaming Mads I think we should be asking were was the Defenders. It should have been obvious that Maguire would be the target with the cross. Yet nobody picked him up. I'd say it should have been Okoli but in fairness to him he wouldn't be familar with Maguire like our more senior players. It seems noone took responsibility in organising our defence which is a shame because the deserved the extra time. Aside from the poor decisionby the officials. The turning point was Wilf going off. We lost that defensive shield he gives us.

He fell out with Cooper and Cooper would'nt play him.

It wasn't a secret.

I thought he was MOTM along with Bilal though he ran out of steam.

He wanted away and didn't get it. So he had little option but to play until the Summer.

He's been terrible most of the season. Has been the cause of at least a goal a game.

Someone is going to have to sue the officials. Otherwise this cheating will continue to happen the smaller clubs.

Soumare they he played well was at fault for the equaliser when he didn't pass the Ball up on their Box. They broke away and scored.

It should never have been a hand ball either because of the proximity rule. Terrible refereeing.

He didn't miss it he was looking right across the line. He bottled it.

You can see how much we missed Wilf during his injury. He and Soumare are doing well. Bilal is a level above for one so young.

Daka has upped his game since Ruud came in. Doing very well but still lacks confidence, He just needs to shoot more and he'll get a goal.

Daka should have got a Penalty against Maguire on 30 minutes. Holding him in the Box. great result so far. If we can just see it out second half.
