All I did was ask a perfectly legitimate question and get accused of being negative ffs.
I am afraid it's a poor side how ARH is still here I don't know.
The only players I can see being of quality is goalkeeper Moore,Adi Yussaf and Harrison poor quality the rest.
I don't think defending was the main problem. In fact, it looked the least of our problems to me! The main problem was that we couldn't put 2 passes together going forward and our only attacking threat was from balls hit forrward for Yussef to do something on his own or long punts into their penalty area. I didn't see Jones doing too much wrong and although I don't think he's great I don't think Barthram got caught out too much. However, I can't say many of our new players are as good as the ones we lost. Moore v Flatt, Barthram v Beeley, Nieskens v Livesey, Jones v Anderton, Bennett v Yusseff, White v Hannah, Williams v Bauress, Gomis v Turnbull. I might take Moore over Flatt and Gomis over Turnbull but it's close but otherwise I'd take all the players from last season.

Hughes should be blamed for turning up vastly overweight but the management team should be blamed even more for allowing it and then playing him! Of course, they will say that the squad is too small and we have injuries but as a matter of principle it shouldn't be allowed and basically tells the other players they can get away with almost anything.blue nige wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2017 10:04 pmdon't blame hughes blame the management teamMark Johnson wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2017 9:58 pm My gripe about Hughes is that he is playing as a professional footballer and obviously enjoyed his summer too much. Fair enough, enjoy yourself but have respect to the people who pay your wages to come back looking fit and if not you have the whole pre season to do that.
When he came on he was sluggish, the close up of him was embarrassing and I'm not having a go at overweight people in general but anyone playing professional football should be fit. Unless you are good enough to not have to be fit, but no one at this level
Makoma looked fit and hungry - good lad hope to see more of him
So was Yusseff but at least he made something out of nothing. White may as well have not been on the field. No pace and no control.Bluebarrowman wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2017 10:08 pmStarved is any decent service
Still our top scorer
Team is shite mate
Again why no criticism of the management team they train pick the squad?HenneysKnee wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2017 10:16 pm If we want to reduce the wage bill we should pay Liam Hughes up
