How can you name Nelson but not Ricardo and Okoli?

I am not sure I agree that Okoli had an awful second half. They got behind him a few times because of mistakes in front of him? 

Ricardo I can't think of any real mistakes.

Nelson is young, he got moved around for their first goal by a strong and experiences striker. But that is going to happen at his age, as long as he learns. 

Luke Thomas needs taking out now and lots of work doing on his strength and positioning because its like a lamb to the slaughter each week now!

Again thats just my take on things.

I'm not defending them but it simply must get the others down when they see him on the team sheet.

its gets most of the fans down when they see him on the teamsheet

[ElusiveEd]

For anybody there, were the Coach 1 Happy Clappers still applauding our lot after that utter shitshow?

 

Rhetorical question as I think I actually I know the answer!

This isn't what happened today. 

 

You could tell their attitude was not to lose the lead as oppose to keep turning the screw. Individual failings aside. 

[Blueman1967]

There was that hope at half time with the display first half, that what l expect from us all games, but their early goal peg us back, but l don't know if it is energy or fitness levels

[South Shire Fox]

They are no way near fit enough, the stats prove it. Give it all for 45 mins then blowing out their arse second half. Happened time and time again this season. The emphasis in the next pre season has to be around being the fittest team in the league and most likely changing all the fitness personel

[fox_favourite]

Bored of the same old tripe after every game. 

 

Just end the season now.

This season is for consolidation. We won't go down and might make playoffs. But would we really want to go up just to come straight back down. Let's finish the season clear the deadwood and get clear of PSR. Get a few more players in and go again next season.

I get it from a results perspective, but these performances, the lack of fight, the constant going down under any form of contact, the horrendous mistakes are all far too unnaceptable. Its embarrassing to see this group wear the shirt. 

[Gamble92]

Id love anyone to tell me how Okoli is in anyway better than Vestergaard

Replying to you from the closed thread

 

If Page makes contact with the ball as he should’ve, then Thomas falling over doesn’t happen 

Not having this at all, Thomas shouldn’t abandon his duty just because the ball has bypassed another player.

I too watched the last 35 minutes of the first half and absolutely could not tell this.

 

[Free Falling Foxes]

Mrs. FFF asked why I no longer shout and leap about when we score. That match typified why.

Not straight away. The first half was spot on. I'm referring to how they came out for the second half. After a Marti team talk.

Its 5 years too late for that. Chilwell, Barnes, and the rest were all given loan spells at this level to toughen them up and give them chance to learn and bulk up before they were put in the team. Thomas had two years in the top flight before we loaned him out. Boro and Sheff U couldn't get him back quick enough. Fvck him off to Carlisle or Blackpool, 102 games is enough, he's utter gash, even in this mickey mouse league.

Ricardo was at fault for their first for me. He come so far in field, he leaves his winger with the freedom of the pitch to come into our box which immediately puts us and the rest of the defence under huge pressure. He did it in the first half as well which led to their best chance I think it was.

 

Nelson and Okoli were both equal in my view so you name check both or neither.

 

Thomas is a disgrace.

[Nolucklcfc]

We did battle and played pretty well at times but there’s just a deep rooted mentality issue that goes back years. No idea how it gets sorted. 
 

when’s the last time we won a big big game?

Ok.

He’s quicker.

He’s better in the air.

He’s more likely to win a duel, both on the ground and aerially.

Enough?

I love how we give him no credit for the first half performance then blame everything on him for the second half. 

 

We are bang average because of the squad we have at our disposal.

 

The goal comes in the first minute of the second half because we have Luke Thomas as our main LB who Rudders gave a 4 year contract to.

I will 100% give him credit for the first half. Said in the match thread how refreshing it was to see us playing with some aggression and intensity. Thought we looked good.

But the way we repeatedly drop off straight after half time onwards is weak mentality and inadequate tacticd and that comes from the manager. Its not just a one off.

I’m not saying that 

 

I’m saying the goal came about from Page missing a free header initially 

 

 

Was terrible ‘defending’  by Thomas obviously 

 

But it’s akin to blaming a keeper when a CB has given the ball away on the edge of the box

I called Okoli …. Sokol 

[Md9]

You know when you are only 1-0 up at half time we wouldn’t win and conceding 2 mins after half time was no surprise at all it’s ridiculous how bad we can be. 
I don’t like to blame the manager because I know what a bunch of shite he inherited but he has not helped himself picking shite and what ever happens at half time is not working .

Better in the air? Did you watch Okoli today? 😂

 

****ing fell over at the simplest balls over the top. The hate for Vestergaard is laughable. He's comfortably better than Okoli. Especially for how we try and play.

Except for the second halfs of matches.

[Foxdiamond]

I would take the end of the season now if only guaranteed to miss relegation especially with the points deduction pending

Fair. I don’t know why Ricardo gets such a pass from fans. Yes he is a good pro and been fantastic in the past for us but now he is a liability. Not to Thomas extremes but still a weak link.
