For their 2nd, what the hell made Benning give-up and stop running and chasing their scorer into our penalty area? No chase, no challenge, no effort, no idea, clueless!
For their 3rd, if that pathetic effort was Benning's idea of chesting a ball back to his goalkeeper, then I'd suggest he gets his rib-cage adjusted by about 30 degrees! No wonder O'Donnell had his face buried in the turf in disbelief!
Scored one, then gave away two, what sort of liability to the team is he?
I recall watching him vs Sheff United at home last season and he more-or-less gifted SheffU their equaliser by failing to challenge their player, and 2 points were dumped. Today, same problem, no improvement apparent, is he learning, are we teaching him that defending doesn't mean running alongside an opponent for a few yards and then letting him go?
Not saying today's dreadful result was all his fault, but he sure made a major contribution!
?
Good to see our young players being encouraged by our "fans".
I agree with Geoff. You would think playing in a League 1 team - you would be able to play to a league 1 standard - face it, it aint been no good all season. Its nothing at all personal about the guy, i hope it has a great footballing career, but how far do you go in keep on making mistakes and putting your arm around them and saying, never mind Mal, better luck next week. Its a ruthless game i'm afraid, and if they aint performing you need to bring people in who can
It's my fault.
I was just a bit shocked as I assumed that Geoff, as a business owner, would know how to comment on performance issues - ie the constructive criticism mentioned by another poster.
His comments however show that he hasn't got a clue.
I bet his office is a laugh a minute.
