Mysterious Curle

I only ever get to watch iFollow as I am in Canada. This can give as false impression as I don’t see what is happening off the ball. My one memory of the second half is of their number 10 with the ball right in front of the camera. He was not challenged at all and the ball inevitably ended up in our penalty area, without resorting to lumping the ball hopefully forward. This all started in the area that I would have thought that Mills was meant to be covering, but I don’t remember seeing him at all. It was so obvious that we needed to stop giving their man the freedom of the park. Again our manager seemed to make meaningless substitutions, when there was a real problem that needed addressing.
That certainly sounds like the Mills I know! Was giving them far to much room from the off. Even in the 5th minute right after we scored he let his man get away for a free header about 6 yards out.

Why that threat did not materialise in the 1st half is a surprise. When it became obvious that Mills was having a difficult time; so he was replaced shortly afterwards by Koiki which gave me pins and needles as he is not normally renowned for his defensive duties! He was a thumping big bloke but fortunately for us he invariably cut inside or went sideways which made him less effective. I don’t think he caused the goal tho’. Did he? That’s a query!

That guy was Conor Wilkinson who I thought was Striker?

Bit harsh on McW who did not have a good game but was it his worse? It’s easy to criticise players but apparently harder to supply the details to justify the judgement made!
What?? His comment suggests the opposite, that McW is normally quite good. Thought police!!

I am sorry to see you develop a somewhat highly critical opinion on JB handling of the current situation, that is tactics, selection and strategy? All opinions should have some critical appraisal to be effective. However when you start to personally criticise JB are you actually proposing that JB should be relieved of his duties?
What?? Sounded like a reasonably considered personal analysis of tactics. Not allowed, I presume.

Sorry, I see that other posters may also feel offended by your 'helpful' remarks. I might take you up on the fiver offer, seems like a sure fire winner to me.

I know he only played for about 20 minutes but I thought Lee Tomlin looked exactly like the type of player we have been missing for a while.

Its his opinion, as such is worthy of critical appraisal. Hopefully you will allow me to comment. That's all.

I even wonder if Magloire could do a job as a defensive central midfielder. I’ve liked the way he can bring the ball out of defence.

Totally agree. Their number 10 caused bloody havoc in the second half. We can’t seem to cope with a right wing back cutting inside. I remember the FGR chap doing the same thing at their place. There was at least 2 occasions where he opened us wide open on Tuesday night.

Don't worry, it was only released on a need to know basis. You weren't there at the unveiling, so wouldn't have had a valid opinion anyway. 😉
