Thracian Posted 15 August 2007 Author Share Posted 15 August 2007 I'm not saying whether he did or didn't have a good game but you can't take Thracian saying that one of the youth teamers had a good game as meaning that they actually did.Out of Thracian and Sir Fynwy, I know who's opinion I trust more. One day you'll watch these people and form an opinion you can trust. My guess is you've seen Sheehan once at best. Apart from anything else I didn't rate him as having a "good" game. I rated him 6.5 which is an average game. Wesolowski was the only player who I thought just about good. A case might be made for Henderson if you forget his nearly gifting them a goal.

Durnerz Posted 15 August 2007 Share Posted 15 August 2007 Anyone marking too tightly in conditions as wet as last night would have been asking for trouble becuase and asking to be turned with no hope of recovery whatsover.Accington did get some dangerous crosses in from both flanks but basically as a result of contriving two versus one situations where close marking would have been fatal. There was no help from anyone on the left flank and Sheehan was highly disciplined in containing attacks until assistance arrived from midfield etc. That Sheehan showed little going forward was because he was quite clearly under instructions to remain defensive and, indeed, was left as central last man back for set pieces - when he might have been better used taking them but that's another matter. Fact is we kept a clean sheet with a really unfamiliar defence on a night when MA apparently set out to get in front and stay there by containing the opposition rather than driving at them. A clean sheet on a wet night when the forwards should have been rampant was a worthwhile achievement although, as I mentioned, Accington went so close with some central strikes and free kicks. Utter bollocks. Theres marking tightly and theres standing 10 yards away when the wingers facing you ONE ON ONE on the byline and letting him get a cross in. That was the story of Sheehans night.

Population-1 Posted 15 August 2007 Share Posted 15 August 2007 I agree Thrac, Weso was the only outstanding performer on the night for us. You cannot really make a critical appraisal of Sheehan's performance last night. MA's tactics had him pinned back for almost the entire second period and watching MA he appeared to be consciously looking towards the right flank which to spearhead any attacks. All rather worrying really given we had Bruno in that position last night. The fact we had no outlet on either flank gave Stanley the perfect incentive to drive at our full backs without the need to concern themselves with cover. The fact we still seemed to leave our full backs isolated was even more of a concern. I must have seen Stearman drift out of position and be caught ball watching 5 times in the 25 minutes he was on the pitch. I was also concerned at how often we failed to block the final cross given our defensive emphasis - and we rode our luck given the number of soft free kicks (Stearman and Kish being the main culprits) we gave away. Set pieces are the great leveller. I am not the greatest fan of Porter's, but last night would have been the ideal match for him. A slick surface, gaps on the flanks and a dire need for someone to carry the ball without running infield into trouble. You need to stretch a defence and deliver pacy crosses on the surface in conditions such as those last night. The way Fryatt and DJ played it was almost as if they were attempting to find bottlenecks on the pitch. I can't blame Matty too much though, as he was clearly out of position and overly eager to atone and find his rightful position on the pitch. Porter and Odihambo should have been sent on once Kenton was stretchered off to inject pace into offensive positions, give the Stanley midfield something to worry about and provide respite for a makeshift defence.

Lillehamring Posted 15 August 2007 Share Posted 15 August 2007 Not getting on anyones back, just giving a realistic view of what play was like yesterday, we weren't very good and the assessment should show this. If we want another season like the last few lets accept performances like this.But he didn't have a good game! i'm sorry, i didn't realise you were God Of All Opinion don't know who you are - but i know thracian and i trust him, i know ultra is popular here but i've no reason to doubt his opinion and tommeh seems to know his stuff - they all rated him highly and that's good enough for me... so until davieG says otherwise, i'm content that sheehan did OK.

Fez of Mahrez Posted 15 August 2007 Share Posted 15 August 2007 Sheehan - 5 Not ready. Loan him out or something Sheehan 5 - Never closes down the winger allowing all the time in the world for crosses to come in, did nothing going forward all he did was win a few aerial duels and complete a few passes, not impressed. Sheehan - 6 -Nothing special, couple of good crosses. No less valid than Thracian, Ultra and Tommeh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you another that falls for the long words crap analogies and long posts. for my sins, personally... sitting next to thracian at a game is a rollercoaster ride - for all his positivity on here, he is a nasty sweary critic at the game, he kicks (as far as is possible) every ball, and yes i have seen a game that he has and had similar opinions, it's not difficult - i can actually see past his linguistic style and appreciate the substance of his words, and i respect him for sticking to his opinions even tho there are loads on here who slag him of just to feel like they are TPH's mates. mind you, the nicknames thing...

Lillehamring Posted 15 August 2007 Share Posted 15 August 2007 No less valid than Thracian, Ultra and Tommeh. of course not - the point was that sir fynwy seemed to dislike sheehan more than was fair... i base my feelings on what the manager says and the people i trust, and it seems sheehan had an average game - and between ched's 6 and thracians 6.5, that seems vindicated, unlike this excessive bollockz: The only thing?????His tackling was none existant, his passing was woeful (hoof) and his shooting and crossing was useless (only involvement he had in the goal was taking a really bad shot in the build up). When Stearman came on we had the hoof twins at fullback, neither could tackle or pass to save their life. ...and i was arguing that some fans are already getting on the players backs, not that sheehan is a god...

Amongst all this banal nit-picking over how average Sheehan was (not to mention the playground taunting), this is actually one of the most sensible, informative posts.

Blue Fox Posted 15 August 2007 Share Posted 15 August 2007 A typically drab uninspired Leicester City performance in which no one particularly performed good or bad, except the 20 minute cameo by Stearman which stank, I'll give a 6 to Weso for the goal, 5.5 to Hendo for the save, although he nearly lost us the game a couple of times all the rest can have 5.
