Tarkowski at fault again...

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Not picking on the lad but he is not good enough for the EPL on yesterday's showing.

Sorry Tarks but that was not defending when you allowed a run of the mill Championship player a clear run on goal.

WTF was the tackle? It's not like he is not big enough to put his leg in...

Going to have to go with Donzy's recommendation and buy a centre back and quick.

It is becoming clear he is not a good replacement for Keane.

Afraid not CiB.

I thought Tarkowski did everything right yesterday , but was caught out for their winner. He was not the only defender who should have stopped that goal and should not get the whole blame.

I think he has the potential to be a top defender.

And yes , we have always needed another central defender much better than Anderson.

Once again , yesterday's result did not reflect the performances of the two teams. Better finishing would have won it for us but overall some good team play and passing.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Tarkowski is costing us too many conceded goals donzy.

If you have the ability just re-run the last four games, he is costing us at least one goal per game.

I never, ever belittle one of our own but SD either needs to get him and Mee on the same wavelength or replace him asap.

Leave him alone. He stopped a goal in the first few minutes and Tom was badly out of position for the goal.
Why not blame Ben for allowing the forward space and time to head the ball on, or Wards half tackle on Robson Kanu was poor and left Tarks facing a fast moving player in on goal.

[Altobelli]

He was one of Sean Dyche's picks, give the lad time lads.

we wont get time in the PL- one mistake is all ittakes to lose 3 points as we saw yrsterdat

[oldcolner]

Sack Tom then!

That one mistake cost us one point, not three. Not hitting the target in twenty attempts cost us more.

I'm not going to defend Tark other than to say only Mee outplayed him in the back four. There is plenty of room for improvement on that side of the ball. Hopefully, most of it will come from the gelling of the current personnel, because I don't see us buying anyone of note to help...At least not until January.
