This has been traditionally my gripe with our FBs especially Key. He seems to stick closer to his Mann now but my opinion is still that he’s not good enough in this current side, as much as I want him to be.
Please Josh, go and rub my nose deep into the dirt. I’d love it. |
I’ve mentioned this many times
It’s a weakness of both our full backs
Wrexham will target this
They are dangerous on the flanks
We can do this | |

Key has been rubbing his critic's noses in it since about halfway through last season. I'm really not sure why some people keep banging on about the same things when he's not been far off one of our more consistently impressive performers for quite some time now.
Perchy I get. He hates both Key and Tymon and would be slagging them off regardless. You I give a bit more credit to. |  |

Key has been our best player across the last 3 games and only just behind Eom in the last 2 games. I'm with you. I have no idea why these people keep up the abuse. | | | |

For a lot of them it's because they spent so much previous time doing it they almost have to reprogramme their brains to think otherwise.
You see it all the time with Fulton. As impressive as his performances are, it will only take one average one before they're all off slagging him off again, or pretending that it's only recently he's been playing well despite his about 300 games for the club. It's almost a reflex action.
Vague hints of it coming through with Vipotnik as well. People turning on him really quickly. I'll be expecting a Jack247 comeback if he goes another game or two without a goal. | |

How many more times
It is not abuse
Look the word up
Comments are made about employees and their competence
Nobody is being hated insulted or abused
Questions are asked about his defending
Some take a particular like to some players , I certainly do and when their favourite is criticised one sees one’s arse
To suggest key has been our best player apart from EOM is simply crazy considering Welsh who has been sensational as has Idah , still under appreciated by some
i had affection for Gylfi Sigurrsson , an individual who virtually kept us from relegation for two yrs at least singlehanded yet he got stick
I e seen average players like Mark Gower and Grimes referred to as virtual deities and any criticism bringing wholesale pure hate posts
Fact
Enough has been said about Key and he seems infallible , no questions to be asked at all
Let’s see how Josh fares this Saturday eh
Finally, no fanbase turns on each other like ours [Post edited 3 Sep 20:37]

I think along your lines. I am sure than there are ''fans'' who only watch to see their most hated player make a mistake. Then they rush on here to tell us all in glorious detail.
Charlton should win at Stoke, while QPR v Middlesbrough is probably game of the day. We should still be top by close of play on Saturday. | | | |

Not sure if Charlton are all that. Winning at West Ham was a decent result, but they've not played anyone else particularly amazing. Similar to us if I'm being really honest, but I think we've got more about us.
Saw a stat about Hellberg earlier which surprised me. Apparently only four wins in the last seventeen games despite their spending.
If we play to our full potential we'll beat Wrexham. For all they've invested there's not many players in their squad that I think would be an obvious improvement on ours, and that includes O'Brien. | |

It s always been the same even before the advent of forums certain players would be berated or dissed on the North Bank despite their contributions.
It's fans and they all have opinions...sometimes some can't see the wood for the trees.
But re Vipotnik,I was never sold on him and yes he had a great season last year bit it makes me wonder why despite being the Championship 's top scorer very few clubs have come calling | |

I suggest that when you attend the Burnley match you keep your mouth firmly shut and don't voice the opinions that you do from the safety of your armchair. Supporters at football matches have been known to be removed for their own safety. |  | | |

I’m expressing my opinion in a similar way you do with Stamenic. You’ll have your reasons, I don’t agree but I don’t see any need to make snide comments towards you. I’ve laid out my reasons why. There’s no malice or hate, quite the opposite. I want him to do well but my opinion is that he’s not up to it. Doesn’t need vitriolic replies, just discussion.
He used to leave the winger too much room. He’s cut that out to an extent now but he was robbed on one occasion on Tuesday night far too easily. He's not bad, he’s just not good enough going forward. I feel a lot more confident with Lissah there but that leaves a vacancy at CH which may be an issue. I’m not Cabango’s greatest fan and know very little about Seelt.
Please try and read the posts in the tone they are meant. |  |

Our players aren't perfect. They will occasionally be tackled. They may occasionally concede a cross. That's fine. It's football. It happens. The problem I have is when the same players are continually targeted for criticism no matter how well they're playing.
Key has been one of our most consistent performers for the last 20/30 games, yet still we've got people looking to nitpick basically everything he does. It's as tiresome with him as it is with others that I've mentioned. | |

And that’s your view, your opinion. I don’t think the same because each of us see things differently. Not rightly or wrongly just different. Accept others’ views as they accept yours is my advice. | |

Really
Advice? From you ?
Nah
So now fans comments are best kept to themselves for fear of upsetting others
1 I shall be on my own
2 I always watch a game in silent mode as I know the mentality of most
That includes you
People like you and Winston don’t exactly encourage others to go to games
I know what you get off on
You want to meet me and have things out then fine
You know where I will be

Quite interesting in the game against Watford was a number of balls by Lissah missed out Key completely going straight to Opoku leaving him one on one with the fullback but also giving him the option for Key who hanging deeper to hold the opposition wide player in position which allowed Key to come forward onto a ball at pace instead of closing Opoku's space up early in an attack. We have seen Cabango play similar balls but I think he became worried about his pass to high up the pitch being cut out, remember thinking for the first goal against Watford that a number of passes from deep could have been cut out but the precision of the passes bypassed that threat.
Key holding deeper and similarly Tymon now keep the threat from the wingers to a minimum by getting tighter but we have seen them tuck inside a bit leaving the wingers space under Matos at times, with such attack minded fullbacks it needs to a level of control by them as to when to attack and when to defend which under previous managers seemed missing or was it a case of the midfielders not covering their forward runs, both Just and Widell seem to do a lot of hard work in the midfield where as Eustaquio seemed to be in the right position a lot.
Will O'Brien last the whole game I hope not because there is a battle to be won. | | | |

One of the things that could be adjusted is our full backs defending so narrowly. Stop giving the freedom of the pitch to opposition wingers.
That said, Kieffer Moore has always caused us problems especially in his Bournemouth days. Stop the crosses & he becomes pretty lame |
Spot on
Our fullbacks stand too far off the widemen, giving them time and space to receive the ball,we need to mark tighter against Wrexham , a lot of their attacks involve long ball’s over the top to the wings,allowing them to run in behind, if we stop that happening by marking tighter ,they will be forced to change the way they normally play
They had far too much space and time against Millwall and got the result | | | |

The thinking on tucking in the fullbacks is to ensure the centre halves lack of initial pace is covered as sweepers but given Lissah is very mobile and it looks as if he and Welsh have the awareness to cover the long balls in behind the defence meaning the fullbacks don't need to tuck in so much and our good high line has caught many a forward offside.Against better teams will we be able to be as effective at the back, the high press often makes teams long balls rushed and off target, so a combination of factors in the success so far this season.
Each team sets a number of problems for us during a game and we have to be able to adjust to suit to negate threats while maintaining ours. | | | |

What i did notice on Tuesday was that instead of playing one DM we seemd to have both Stamenic and Eustaquio interchangeing and a bit further forward, with Key and Tymon covering the space when needed. We will have to wait and see if that is the tactic going forward or one off for the Watford game. | | | |

Lissah is clearly a class act with a big future
He’s our next hot property
We need to nurture him
IMO , he is by far a more solid defender than the present incumbent at RB
I would play him RB tomorrow and bring on Seelt to look after Moore, derided by some but we know deep down he’s very dangerous
Fair to say this fixture looks big | |
