There are multiple reasons for our poor performance last night and in some of the recent matches.
If people are going to over react after each defeat I would just like to see alternative threads pop up like:-
Riordan - Is there a more light weight attacker in the league?
Bamba - Is there a more 'clanger prone' defender in the league?
Zemmama - Is there a more inconsistant and frustrating winger in the league?
Nish - Is there a more ineffective target man in the league? (outwith Nade obviously)
Riordan- Is there a more out of position striker in the league?Quote:

Zemamma- Is there a more 'central' winger in the league?
Nish- Say no more.

Correct :agree:Quote:

Yogi would have been better with a back three rather than Hogg at right back.

Just don't see why Hogg should be made the scapegoat everytime, when clearly there are others in the team who could be singled out for not performing.Quote:

Not having a go at you mate just grumpy!
No, just the one last night. The penalty against the huns was a dive, Bamba never touched him.Quote:

Likewise last night he gave away a stupid penalty by sticking his hand up and stopping the ball in the box.
Two stupid penaties in the last two games.
He was never getting the man either, perhaps he should not have tried to shut him down either. A diver cheated to get that penalty. Just another excuse to have a pop at a player, when he's done nothing wrong.:confused:Quote:

Either that or maybe tried out at right back?
With what we've got at the moment I'd like to see Hogg/Murray in the centre with Hanlon left back and McCormack right back.
Rankin left mid, Bamba, Miller, Wotherspoon.
Stokes and Riordan up front.
Since Hogg has been right back-we have had 2 defeats. missing him in central defence???? calamaty bambi all over the place imo...........
:agree:Quote:

Yep,my thoughts exactly. Yogi doesn't seem to like him for some reason.Quote:
