Adams: "I am not going to come on here and make excuses"

[Brighton Breezy]

"But the game totally hinged on the penalty..."

What has happened to Micky's brutal honesty?

I would respect him so much more if he just said: "We were not up to it tonight. They were a better team. We tried hard but lacked a bit of quality."

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

It would have been more accurate if he'd gone on there and said that the game totally hinged on Adam Virgo being skinned alive by George Boyd.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Or the manager failing to notice Adam Virgo being skinned alive by George Boyd.

Or the folly of playing two wide men who will not defend against probably the best attacking quartet in the league.

There were enough clues LAST time we played them...

 

[blue and white army]

It was a dubious decision, I would of been outraged and would of DEALT with Boyd brutally with a lunging sliding challenge

Adams must have seen this was the case in the game at London Road, Virgo has a MARE, was skinned alive by George Boyd for 90 minutes, so to combat this, let it happen again until Virgo got booked for booting Boyd into the dugout after giving away a penalty.

Every time Virgo tried to 'deal' with him he made him look an IDIOT...

Who else is he going to play there we're hardly blessed with right backs

Went down to easy for the penalty, he was arguably there best attacking threat don't see why Forster played right wing

Yesterday I would have played El Abd right back, and Livermore in midfield instead of El Abd.

I know it would cause havoc as Virgo would be on the bench, but it would be for the benefit of everyone.

Other right backs if fit and available. Whing, Cook, Hinshlewood (at a push as he has played well in the centre until yesterday)

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I think playing Hinshelwood right back with Fraser infront of him would have offered more protection against the threat of Boyd.

Failing that, try and cut out the ball getting to him in the same way Posh managed with Seb Carole in the second half.

Went down to easy for the penalty

Still not seen it on the telly (youtube link anyone?) but from H Block - directly in front of the incident - it looked for all the world like he just lost his footing and wasn't even trying for a penalty, the ref just gave one

 

[les dynam]

felt sorry for both full backs becuase they had NO cover in front of them.

i wish mickey would just for once pick a team with all players in their proper positions. he makes things so much harder for himself than they need to be. clearly we have a decent squad. he talked about going back to basics so please mickey, go back to basics with your selections. if there are 2 better centre halfs available then virgs goes on the bench. if you want to play 2 forwards and neither is forster then he too goes on the bench. if hawkins turns up on match day he's steered back to his car in the car park.

 

[Austrian Gull]

Anyone else worried abot Mickey's cheap shot about Carlisle United not being Peterborough United? Let's hope that the Carlisle manager doesn't get to hear what he said and use it as motivation for his men.

 

[Don Quixote]

We lost against peterborough! Peterborough united! Not hereford!
