Shocking goalkeeping.

[Tap in MN]

I love your optimism BT I really do but In reality we continue to play with players that make the same mistakes game in game out and at this level we are punished for them.

Yesterday we were devoid of any fight or heart whatsoever for 70 mins in the game.

The goals knocked us especially the second but we couldn’t pull ourselves round or see a way out of the hole we’d dug ourselves.

Now on here I don’t like to slag players off constructive comments are my thing just on what I see so based on yesterdays abysmal showing here goes ( the last 15/20 mins accepted ).

Vitinho - can not play at this level - left back - right back we just shifted problems from one side to the other. ( don’t know if sub can check but I was thinking an interesting stat might be how many assists he has to his name for the opposition- he tried hard yesterday to help them be it passes in open play or throwings ).

O Shea wasn’t making it at West Brom at this level and based on what I’ve seen he won’t make it here either - too many positional problems to be a quality centre back he’s re - active not pro active.

Ekdal I like but doesn’t have the pace to play at this level.

Ramsay had an opportunity to show some spirit if nothing else but he failed on all counts and only encouraged Fulham onto us. ( I’m surprised as of the two brothers we are supposed to have the better one ).

Berge - I think technically is a decent player - but I posted when he first came that he’s very slow and looked un fit - yesterday he looked like a player who plays for the dog and duck on a Sunday full of ale sweating bucket loads trying to get up and down a pitch - but found it really difficult as when we got in their last third by the time he’d caught up with play we were losing possession and going back towards our goal again.

Brownhill ( I’m a fan generally ).

This lad isn’t a captain he’s not a leader of men can’t motivate himself to do his job never mind others , is going to get himself hurt limp legged challenges and under par performances of late when we need someone who drives people on - I accept at the side of Berge yesterday it was difficult as Brownhill is mobile just not competitive in the engine room the most important position on the pitch.

Amdouni - tries very hard but embroils himself in situations that should be the midfields job and ends up doing nothing to help the team as foster ends up as loan wolf up top

Foster - I’m afraid isn’t free of criticism I’llness or no Illness , makes some selfless runs but lets the ball get away from him a bit to much lately.

Odebert is a breath of fresh air - a winger who can go at defenders on the inside and outside either foot always trying to get to the line to deliver ball in dangerous areas.


Finally if VK can not see our failings in defence and midfield he’s responsible for our demise as well as the players.

I agree with most of your comment Army and if we survive it will only be because at the last minute we acquired a centreback, a striker and a full back which a sad comment on the summer purchases for which VK must take responsibility. If everybody at BFC is happy that we now have two young players who can be sold at a profit and division status is not important then god help BFC. Too many players who will never be epl standard either too slow or technically weak to be replaced when the team is to be rebuilt. Nothing but problems ahead considering the mysterious financial situation so let's hope VK and co. have learned some lessons.
