About 10 shots from outside the box in the game today and the closest was from a stevenage player which clipped our bar. All of ours were miles off target. Its frankly unbelievable. It's because he has to rush them because he's so slow he can barely get a yard on a league 2 journeymen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 8, 2023 Moderator Share Posted January 8, 2023 He's a player that needs a dozen games in close succession to rediscover his rhythm and his mojo. Of course, you might lose all of those dozen matches while he goes through the motions. He's a bit of a puzzle for the manager right now, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stop shooting. They're getting further away each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantholtgolazo Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 He was ineffective today to be sure, but watching on tv I noticed more a few instances where Phil seems to just be dawdling over the ball, but seeing the full field, the attack is stagnant with very little movement to/for the ball.

AshVilla Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Get rid asap. Can't even look good against Stevenage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 If you want the entire game to slow down to snail's pace when you're attacking, this guy is your man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Gets the ball, nobody makes a run for him. Hes not the player i hoped he would be, and he is certainly lacking confidence. But hes the only one who is looking to be positive when he receives the ball and hes a better player than Buendia. Probably should have not played Luiz and played Ramsey to run past Ings. Bailey doesn't help as his movement in the final 1/3rd is very poor. Final ball off Bailey, Cash, Sansom, and the LB were all very poor today Ings is an impact player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving a bad player ten games in a row isn't going to make him better. He'll still be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 We were fooled by those first 5 games. And now we are going to be the best part of nearly £40m worse off for it in the next few years. TOP WORK PURSLOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the game today, the players were poor but the system didn't help IMO. There's hardly any width, full backs don't get forward at all it's basically a flat back 4 at times, two sitting DMs. There's not enough attacking options, they had to go backwards all the time with passes, he tried to force a few things and they just weren't working but what options did he have? Bailey and Ings, that's it. Ings was marked by about 3 defenders most the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icouldtelltheworld Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Looked close to tears on the bench after he went off. Utterly dogshit today, unfortunately I think he's finished at the top level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I have backed him but he couldn't even boss a match versus a league two side. His legs have gone. He is only 30 but looks more like 35. Unfortunately it is looking like we have been sold a dud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
