Scowcroft!

[MON]

I have to say he is utter crap. Connoly has shown how important he is to our side. But Scowy is just awful. Sell him in January. I would like to see Benjamin or Blake play along side Connoly. At the moment Blake. Them two will work well together IMO. What do you think???

[PompeyFox]

New poster. Thinks he looks tired and jadded at the moment. He gets tackled, and gives up. Doesnt try to win the ball back. After watching him last night, he looks as if he has other things on his mind, with the transfer window looming? I know Norwich were interested in him, and i know for a fact that after the Millwall game he went down to Portsmouth for a look around (in Harry's days). Im not sure he is the right person up front to play with Connelly. Mind you with Connelly always having to come out on the wing to pick the ball up, is Stewart any good for the front two. If Scowcroft would sometimes turn an shoot when he chest the ball down, i think this would make him a good player. (Easier said than done, i know). But at the moment his movement and passing is lacking the Scowy of old.

[PompeyFox]

I await to be shot down. But these are my opinions. Also i think Nalis should play a role like Steven Gerrard, stay on the 18 yrd line on corners and anticipate the ball coming back out, as he has a good right foot on him.

I have just posted this in another thread, at the same time as you. Great minds think alike. Scowy is awaful. I agree with you.

[Guest Daniel]

I think your an arsehole.

Blake? He's the worst player at this club.

Scowcroft is a better player than Blake, at least he wins some headers, blake dont do anything.

Connolly showing how important he is? Because he scored a goal from 2 yards out?

No need for abusive language you twat.

Scowcroft is not a striker i am begining to think. What did he do yesterday apart from miss an opengoal, that i think Blake would have scored.

Connoly made those runs into channels, but it was a pity that scowy couldnt anticipate where his corsses were going. I never saw anyone else in the box when Connoly was on the wing. Where was Scowy??

Hope you get banned for this

What like you were ages ago? But came back when your not wanted.

You really dont use your head, slagging Scowy because he missed an open goal and theres Conncolly missing an easy chance in the first minute.

Or didnt you see that on sky?

[Teeno]

I think its unfair to pin point one single player after yesterday, for me there is only really two players that came out of yesterdays game with any credit thats Keown and Gudjohnson.

[Guest Daniel]

and Gillespie.

[Mark]

Scowcroft is bad for us and we're better off without him. He is bad for Connolly, he can't even be considered as a strike partner for anyone is has no mobility he's just stood there not knowing what to do. Watching the game yesterday, whenever he came on he just look fed up, half asleep and not interested one bit. Static Scowcroft.

Dont worry about that, speak your mind. If people give abuse they obviously have trouble answering your good points I agree anyway, he gets worse and worse.

Yeh but did you see Scowy running down the channels. Playing with some fight. Wanting the ball. Still trying eventhough he missed. Scowy is just not bothered.

I totally agree lads. Scowcroft is not like he used to be at all. Lets try and offload him in January if possible, and try and get someone in who is right for connolly

I'll call you what i want.

If people really think that Connolly is better than Scowcroft then jesus.

Connolly is awful.

[MON]

Ok then Bm Connoly is awful

[Guest Daniel]

Indeed, 2 or 3 goals is terrible.

He can't score for shit, look at last nights goal 3 yeards offside and still nearly missed from 2 yards.

Scowy, opengoal. Surely in. The muppet puts it wide.

It was just as easy as Scowys chance, you wouldnt know from Sky would you?

[davieG]

Get some facts in here both players are technically reasonably sound, both are having torrid time at the moment, Scowcroft has shown to most LCFC fans that he can make a good contribution given a confident team and structure to play in - see last promotion season. Connolly unfortunately comes with a good reputation for goal scoring, which we've yet to see materialise, maybe the pressures on him too much and that is why he's snatching at chances. CL obviously has faith in the two of them in being better than any other option at the moment. Personally I think Connolly would be better if he had a goal scoring striker partnering him, which I believe is not Scowcroft's strong point. He's more of link player we don't play a style to suit that therefore he suffers.

I suggest that people agree to disagree on this it'll never be resolved so move on and either find something else to argue about or stop speaking to each other. Either way everyone is welcome to their views but just don't bore the pants off us and stop calling each other names.

We all support LCFC don't we?

People have their favorite players, and sometimes dont see all that can be seen. Im not knocking people for that. I have just watched the game on video, after watching it at the ground last night. The tv only shows the action where the ball is or being passed to. What it doesn't show is the off ball movement, or lack of it in some case's. You cannot judge players on what they done last season, or the season before that. Connelly has come to a new club, new surroundings. Scowcroft has been here a while now, (fair enough it might as well be a new club with all that has happened over the last 6 months). At the next game watch both players instead of watching where the ball is. Connelly runs all over for it, coming out wide most of the time, to pick it up. Then try's to cut in to shoot, but it's not working like that at the moment. Scowcroft get's the high ball's more time's than not chesting it to players. Sometimes the opposition (because the control is not as good with chest, than foot). But i feel he seems to give up after that, easier than Connelly does. What is needed is the midfield to run in full pelt to offer options to both these players. They need to be closer to the forwards, to create, help and score goals. Connelly and Scowcroft are two totally different types of forwards. Scowcroft needs the midfield to run onto his flick on's or chest down's. Whilst connelly need the ball feeding into his feet one the edge of the box. Also with getting the midfield running in to help, it gives you more player's in the 18yrd box to score.

Good Post, I wish I'd said that

[Anish]

This thread illustrates how childish and immature some posters can be.

If you can't agree to disagree, then don't both abusing one another.

Scowy has gone down in my estimation after the last 2 games - extremely poor indeed. I feel it is him rather than Connolly that is the problem - although the fact that our midfield doesn't offer any support to the strikers doesn't help. However, Scowy's off-the-ball movement is abysmal and he is far too slow both on and off the ball.
