We’re on the beach with half a team of players who won’t be here next season in a meaningless game. And it shows

[Stranded]

Just popped in to see how we're getting on in the dearest of dead rubbers. Shit, losing and people getting carried away because we tried something new and it didn't work. Ah ok, walks away whistling.

Right, apologies, but I'm back on the get rid of Swift camp. He's the epitome of poorly applied talent and slow casual play.

Scored a great goal, but but we're being over run in midfield, Rino is everywhere, Swift is nowhere and is losing the ball and playing people into trouble left right and centre.

Funny how Swift is the one talked about across the league but Rino never gets a mention, when he’s the more consistent high performer for us. Shows how backwards modern day football is!

Pull the other one. Swift’s one of the best creative midfielders in the league and has been extremely consistent this season. Rino is a tidy player but he’s never going to be on Swift’s level and has had his share of shockers this season (particularly last Autumn).

Agreed. For all Swift’s faults without him we create nothing.
This today is as bad as I’ve seen all season. We are being totally outplayed and constantly stretched.

[Snowflake Royal]

Puscas is being so lazy today. He’s not closing anyone down which is exposing Swift and Rinomhota and Olise is providing any defensive cover down the right. You realise how much work Meite does in that position

Puscas is awful at closing down every single game.

3-1.

This is why we shouldn't play 4-4-2 and players out of position.

We have to play a CDM. Our midfield is so oxf*rd lightweight. Olise isn’t ready for a regular starting place.

Well hard to do that at the mo when we don't have one, but yeah. At least three midfielders and a consistent shape. Too many people wandering aimlessly around all over the field with no discipline.

In fact I'd say our key issues are intensity and discipline. We have not enough.

[SCIAG]

Great subs from Bowen.

[Sutekh]

BAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllccccccccooooooooooockkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk yay!

[Snowflake Royal]

Now that's the Obita crossing we used to know and love.

Good movement for Baldock and a great finish.

Tidy header that

We have been trying things for the past 3 seasons that haven't worked, we are all justified in getting carried away. You carry on accepting mediocrity though, you're used to it in life.

[Old Man Andrews]

Tidy header that

Hopefully that goal will secure him a move away from the club.

[SCIAG]

Yes!

[Snowflake Royal]

Tidy header that

Baldock certainly has intensity.

Sigh, more cack from Swift - poor ball from McCleary buy he just gives up on it and makes it comfortable for the defender.


Baldock feeds Meite!!!

[Zip]

3-3. Super Sammy Baldock

[tidus_mi2]

3-3 lol what?

Flashbacks of 2007

[Hendo]

Top work from Baldock there.

[Old Man Andrews]

MEITE!!!!!

The bloke is a very good Championship player, anyone who says differently knows nothing about football.

[Sutekh]

[Hound]

Sam Baldock’s coming on. Praise the oxf*rd Lord.

Drop the whole bullshit wrestling persona thing and being a cock to everybody. You are boring and you don't need to say abusive things to people. I know you aren't like that in real life

[Snowflake Royal]

Now Baldock really is a striker who plays better in a partnership up top.


Not a lone striker for holding it up though.
