Gradel

[Jimmy Lad]

I thought he was really poor against Millwall. Gave the ball away continually (altho so did most of them), got frustrated & was lucky not to have been sent off, couldnt cross & was ultra greedy in promising attacking positions.

I would like to see Adams given his chance on the right vs Orient as so far he has done well in his limited opportunities.

Gradel would be a good bench option if things are'nt going to plan.

 

[Matt_B]

It's a tough one because as poor as he was he had no support from behind once Gilbert went off. Normally Gilbert would be tearing past him and give him an option on the overlap, Tunchev didn't do that as he doesn't have the pace.

 

[Willlow]

Gradel always seemed to cut inside rather then trying to go on the outside and get a cross in.

 

[alex]

He's young and has much to learn. It's also a little unfair to judge too much on one bad match, as much as it is to get over-hyped on a good one.

I would like to see Gradel on the wing, Adams get a run out in the middle.

 

[Melton Fox]

I see that as a positive, because he can't f**king cross it.

 

[homer]

He was poor, but nowhere near as poor as a few others on the pitch

King and Fryatt were complete and utter shite, and actually more of a hindrance than a benefit to the team, but I don't see any threads about kicking them out of the side

 

[Melton Fox]

Gradel has had one bad game, in the others he's been OK with glimpses of excellence.

I think it's too early to be screaming for his head. Back in for the next game, for me.

Tactically, Millwall got it spot on.

I would have dropped Fryatt after the first game. OK, he's been scoring a few, but as Hume last season, he should be scoring many more.

The fact we were winning with his goals was enough to keep him in the side, but the moment we lose because of his wasted opportunities, inability to pass and his inability to watch the back line, his position should be in jeopardy.

Me too .

Aye they stopped us playing as we have been for sure .

haveing said that i think they thought it was ruby at times

I agree King was poor but then IMO he has been all season, its only the fact we have won that has stopped people highlighting it!

A few people have been saying it right from the start. In my opinion he was our worst player against MKDons, and has been cack ever since

He was embarrassing at the weekend, and that is being generous

But he's 'one of our own' from the Academy so is immune from any criticism whatsoever

Its a big step from going from bit part player to main role in the midfield. He also seems a bit lightweight in the middle and panics on the ball.

IMO Oakley is our most creative midfielder yet seems to be the one that is playing the defensive role whilst King gets forward. Surely playing Wesoloski or Kishishev would allow Oakley to get forward and make us more creative?

 

[Chuck T Masala]

we certainly looked lightweight in midfield on Saturday, nobody made time to put their foot on the ball and nobody supported the man with the ball well enough. Max looked out of sorts, but to be honest few of them looked confident enough on Saturday to change things.

Didn't she take her love to town?

Fully agree, but I thought the ref wasn't strong enough, that's why they got away with it. Alexander should have been sent off for his tackle on Martin. He was that late and intentional that he caught him as Martin he was advancing forward with ball in hand when he was brought down. Once the ref let him off with a yellow that released them to play rugby which our lot found hard to cope with. Another bit of education for our lot in this division. Think we'll find more teams playing like this in future now somebody shown them how to do it. Need stronger and better ref.

Bollocks to the ref. That's what you get at this level, so tough titty

They simply played hard, and we shat ourselves and didn't know what to do. It certainly wasn't 'rugby' (or even ruby) - much of it was well within the rules of the game. Our players simply hid instead of standing up to be counted.

I don't even think they were a very good side - just pretty well organised, and got stuck in. Plus they'd done their homework.
I doubt they'll finish in the top six, to be honest

It was pathetic to watch

It was our fault that we got rolled over, not the officials

Even though the ref gave them a goal and not us?

I forgot about that - we were obviously cheated and robbed by a bunch of anti-Leicester bastards

It's all a conspiracy against our club, and nobody is to blame
