Gets his big chance and blows it. Get shut ASAP.

I agree bc that it is somewhat churlish to pick out one individual when the team display as a whole was inadequate. Provided we put things right against Cardiff I will get over the disappointment. Humphries injury incurred in training seems unfortunately quite serious and he will be missed because Pires is far from solid defensively.
He could not lead a pack of Girl Scouts. He is pfhucking useless![]()
It seemed to be one of the most lack lustre games we have played. None of our players could say they put in a good shift today. However, Parker must take most of the blame for a poor / weakend team selection.
Ridiculous
No support to him just left with two centre backs and full backs to deal with,
If you want to start pointing fingers I?ll give you a few.
Parker not acceptable set up - tactics personnel
Sonne exploited continuously physically not strong enough
Pirez. Posted before not strong enough decent going forward but CANT defend
Shelvey - did he play ?
Brownhill - mostly anonymous
Benson - too lightweight to start games
Sarmiento - mostly outmuscled but did keep trying
Hladcky - not up
To the job being honest especially playing out from the back
After all that lot now you can start pointing fingers at foster as poor as they all were he was probably one of the better ones in truth.
And we wander why he?s struggling - I shake my head sometimes at views on here.
Add the other headless chicken to the list Army-Koleoscho.
Worrall.Past his sell by date literally.
Basher.Tried but past it sadly.
Laurent.Weak for his size,slow and cant find a pass.
There was nobody on that pitch that showed any commitment apart from Foster.He tried at one point to put a through ball to Sarmiento and he just slowed down as the ball was passed and the Nobender collected the ball.You are right Foster does try but he has no service, his confidence is shot and he needs moving on.It simply has not worked out for him here.
As for Cardy and the club-with the knowledge of two previous meetings with the Nobenders they knew the tactics and style of play yet we surrendered before kick off by not playing Hannibal and fielding a lightweight team incapable of matching them for physicality and strength.The result was all too predictable.Heckingbottom must have thought it was his birthday when he saw the teamsheet.
Apparently 7000 fans made the trip to Deepdale and for Cardy and the club to serve that up to them is a feckin disgrace.The club is becoming more and more detached from the paying fans.If I had travelled to Deepdale and paid for a ticket I would be asking for my money back.If they do not win on Tuesday there will be hell to pay.

Tbf to Koleosho hes been out 5 weeks and he did get in a couple of decent positions however to pint fingers at individuals is wrong even though I highlighted several in response to the lame Foster slagging off again.
Im not with everyone on Laurent I think hes just a steady no frills workhorse who trys to do his job but needs flair and better players around him.
Ive knocked Cullen a time or two this season but my god hes worth his weight in gold after watching today
Also he plays Sarmiento in the hole behind front man because I believe Sarmiento wants to play there - he should have been wide and imo.
Hannibal is competitive at least and should have started we looked weak doing what we did today.
I dont mind losing but we were rudderless again no one steering the ship - no fire in bellies - no will to win again ( I have posted that more than once this season ).
Im going to say though for all the thoughts posted on players the performance and the set up lies with the management Im afraid.
Humphreys is a big loss for me teams can exploit our left side as I just dont think piers is a full back.
Foster offers nothing. Brings nothing to the table and need’s shifting to help me keep my sanity.
