Cheerio Kewellio - Sheep Shearers Special

[DelroyFacey22]

Do agree Evinas not great, but again everyone was slating Jones before saying he's useless. I think he has just got a terrible squad which is huge and there's a lot of work to do, I think we should just let it ride out to Jan and try and sort, I don't think we will go down.

Exactly, people moaning about the players on the bench but who would they have rather been on it when two of our first choice strikers and arguably best performers this season are out (Stead and Hemmings obviously).

Most fans were absolutely slaughtering Dan Jones while Nolan was here and now you't think Kewell is leaving Roberto Carlos out of the squad with the way people are desperate for him to come back.

Our squad is big but there is absolutely no quality in depth upfront or in midfield, which is probably why we end up with defenders on the bench. Duffy was the only experienced option on the bench (other than Hawkridge, who is dogsh*te) and Enzio is clearly a better player than the two young lads that were on the bench.

If he'd brought on a 16 year old for Dennis people would have moaned that he shouldn't be throwing in an inexperienced player if he'd not played well and if he'd put Hawkridge on they'd have still said "it's a midfielder for a striker" and complained so he couldn't really win with the options he had. If Enzio had put one of the two chances he had away then you would have had to give Kewell some credit for the sub imo.

As you've also said, experienced players like Milsom weren't even connecting with their passes, this team is nowhere near good enough to cope if a few players have an off night and last night Milsom and Alessandra were way below the standard they can and have achieved recently imo.

That is exactly 100% what I think. Regardless of service Dennis looked poor, his first touch wasn't great at all and I think Enzio was the only option against a tough defence and TBF it nearly came off when he got away from the defence but the keeper saved. The other decision was who to bring on in centre mid as I think it was right to push Alexandra on the wing, yeah putting Briesley there on the face of it doesn't look great but it was a scrappy physical game and I see no one advocating putting Husin or Vaughan in that situation, the rest of them aren't up to it either.
