Clemdog 39,389 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 It was weird. We switched from the back 5 to a back 4, but kept Wallace as a sort of wingback with a tight midfield three.It worked though.Got to say that it suited Wallace. Could have scored a hat-trick today and that isn't an exaggeration. Had Cha not taken him down he would have been one on one with Forster, he should have scored before Little but I think he was just a bit too close to the keeper and he scored the third. Even then he had that chance which he blootered over the goal. He's a machine energy wise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
offminorthreat 1,467 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 He made the most of it, but Whittaker basically went over and pushed him to the ground. Laziness.Whitts definitely pushed him with his arm / elbow, it was stupid. Had me raging at the TV when i should have been singing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelrug 268 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Whitts definitely pushed him with his arm / elbow, it was stupid. Had me raging at the TV when i should have been singing.Commons definitely went down easy (just like the slimy Greek and the disgrace of a club captain of theirs did all day) Seen it from the stand and confirmed on telly.Thought Whitts done fine for his first game back. As mentioned previously he didn't seem to have a right mid in front of him to offer any protection but they did not seem to exploit that (he is the worst manager in their tainted history, both tactically and as a a human being). One thing I am sure off, we are better with him than without him (Bartley and Kirk didnae do a decent job when they were filling in at right back). Welcome back Steven, I hope you can get back to your form of the last few seasons and forget about this season Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBlue 136 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 He made the most of it, but Whittaker basically went over and pushed him to the ground. Laziness.Or tiredness. Not much of a Whiitaker fan but thought he did pretty well until the last minute of the first half. As he got more tired (understandably) he made more mistakes Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbear 10,924 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Theres a time and place for fancies, SW has not worked it out yet, considering the amount of goals he has cost us down his side losing possesion cheaply, he still insists in trying dragbacks or little dribbles getting caught out more often than not.He was rusty but get it hoofed up the park or play a simple pass then he wont get ball robbed.

King Jela 20,658 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Cringed every time he was in action defensively. gave away an unnecessary free kick for their last goal. Way overpaid in my opinion too. I accept he would have been rusty all the same.Summed it up perfectly. Gave away possession far too much as well.

Aye, you are right we won and that is he greatest thing about it. I had a fiver on 3-1 so that shitey free kick cost me money as well. I am more annoyed that the score makes it look as if they were even threatening to us during the match. We pished all over them and should have seen 5 or 6 on the big scoreboard.

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I thought he was pretty poor today. First game back for months and he kept trying too many tricks instead of just playing the simple pass. I actually like him but not at full back as he lacks the pace for that position.He is one of our fastest players and a great engine on him!

JCDBigBear 10,860 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 He is one of our fastest players and a great engine on him!Sorry mate, you must be kidding, it's his lack of pace at full back which costs us. When he tries the fancy stuff and loses possession he can't get back because of his lack of pace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneDavidCooper 2,505 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I hate writing this because he made a wonderful gesture in waiving 75% of his pay, but I thought he was our weak link yesterday.He makes so many mistakes defensively, particularly this habit of his of trying to dribble his way out of trouble only to find his opponent simply intercepts the ball and is bearing down on goal or the bye line.His passing, crossing and general play was poor too.Frankly, he's not good enough.

Amac9 2,060 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I thought he was probably our worst player but even then he was still better than any outfield celtc player.He is our best RB and considering he was out for so long he did OK.
