Bobby De Cordova-Reid joins permanently - Official

[Headcase]

There was not much to cheer about today.......but the loudest cheer was when his name was mentioned over the speaker for substitution, which tells you a lot.

 

95% certain he starts next game

[Richmondfox]

The 1-2 where he didn't even think to run into the space ahead was disgusting, that sums him up.  He wants to get rid of the ball quickly so he puts little care into it.  He was dropping really deep close to Burns and leaving a massive gap in the middle.  

 

I'm sure him and Thomas will be starting next game.

Russell’s comment confirmed that he considers taking Bobby off part of the problem. Pretty sure he starts the next game. Shouldn’t be in the squad.

Just alluded to similar in the Martin Out thread. Seriously worrying that he's blaming it on the lack of experience on the pitch

We’ve had some shocking individual performances over the years but that was right up there. Forgetting the hopeless first touch, feeble passing and quite frankly laughable physicality - his positioning and football IQ is hardly believable for a so called professional footballer.

 

There were countless moments today that Burns (also awful) recieved the ball and BDR ran directly behind their full back (not down the line) making it impossible for Burns to find him. There was acres of space in the number 10 pocket with a clear passing lane to receive the ball and then drive towards goal with not an Oxford CM in sight. If he took a glance and held his position then a promising attack was there (although I’m sure he would have stumbled into an Oxford defender and turned the ball over). Just total rubbish.

 

I’m sure he’s a nice bloke but should not be anywhere near our matchday squad (which says a lot given the tripe on show).

[Rubbersoul]

Desperately need him to get injured. Nothing nasty just enough to keep him out for like 5 weeks 

[Corky]

Appalling.

[adejo92]

Thought he was fantastic again today.

 

Bringing him off cost us the game.

 

Thought Burns had a good game too, reminded me a bit of prime Mahrez.

[JimJams]

[Ross 'LCFC' Turner]

Absolute joker this guy, signed him to play in the premier league and looks miles out of his depth in league one! 
 

Spends all game pointing and bossing everyone around when he can’t do the basics himself. Can’t hit the target with clear cut chances, his weight of passes don’t even get to the target and he can’t press because his legs are totally gone. 

[The Doctor]

went unremarked upon because of the goal being a refereeing shocker, but the kick off after the first where he passed the ball to get play underway, and got caught in possession and dispossessed before it had even left the centre circle was phenomenal play. I don't think you could coach someone to be that bad if you tried

[Swarles Barkley]

298 days left for those wondering. Then the count begins on the McCarthy/Thomas/Burns thread

[Corky]

The sort of player a Sunday League team would use in the event of mass unavailability. Yet a regular starter here.

 

We aren't even Sunday League level in certain operations.

[Bergen fox]

Was he ever good for Fulham??

[CrazyKopCorner]

He shouldn't be in the squad. 

[Plastik Man]

If he was a star of a late 80s late night TV  clubbing show, he'd be Michaela Strachan!

That's exactly what it is though, Players making poor decisions at key moments. All part of their learning, They're young.

Absolute nonsense to pin this on the younger players. Who made the mistake for the goal? O'Hora? Who made mistakes that gave them great chances at the end? Oh, it was Faes and Coulibaly. It's such an easy cop out to just blame everything on the younger players when the reality is that it's the older players who have let us down for years and continue to do so. Doesn't mean the youngsters won't make mistakes or poor decisions but the facts are pretty obvious; if everyone played like them, we'd be absolutely fine.

 

Even take a look back last year and who were the 2 players who gave us a chance of staying up? Fatawu and James; both younger players

This is rubbish. 

 

Mccarthy, Faes, Thomas, Burns, Riis, O'Hora, Cullen, Lundstram, De Cordova Reid all played a part in today.

 

There's more than enough experience there to carry our young (and more talented) players. 

[weusedtobegood]

Reid needs to look for a pub team that needs a substitute. 

[Clever Fox]

 I wasn't blaming the young players pacifically.  But they did make mistakes at key moments. Alves to Riis comes to mind for 2 nil along with many other poor decision making. 

We're talking about the small margins that win or lose games. The point is it's mistakes from all players at different times which is costing us. Why don't we just clear our lines when under pressure and regroup. These issues take time to fix on the training ground. Time we don't have as the league has started so we have to hope they learn quickly.

Otherwise it's going to be a long season. Today was 2 points lost rather than 1 gained we can't continue doing this.

 

On the plus side our patterns are getting better at keeping possession we just need to keep improving our attacking play.

He’s crap

Luckily we also signed Burns on a 3 year deal to takeover the ‘useless twat on a decent wedge wrong side of 30’ when Bobby leaves.

 

I never expected him to pull up trees, but my word what a poor signing he’s been.

[ronnup]

Disgraceful appointment
