Kaz has lost his pace

[El Turi]

If we actually played with two wingers then maybe the opposition wouldn't find it so easy to crowd out the one winger who has started.

 

[catfish]

Looked way off the pace, if only we had started with Will

To be fair Will was pretty poor on Saturday. He certainly made a huge dfference when he came on tonight though.

 

[Lush]

Kaz seemed to be getting treatment during the warm-up, which didn't bode well. But Edwards was just too good for him and Buckley in my opinion.

That is a good point, Calde seems to have lost that pace to attack so we were only attacking from one side during the first half.

Orlandi cannot play as a winger either

This is where we have missed Bruno

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Not sure Kaz is fit enough for 90 at the mo. Is much better off the bench. Needs to lay off the Nando's!

KLL was dreadful tonight, audible sighs of relief when Buckley came on. He does run head down and he does get double teamed and the two things combined are my frustrations. If 2 or 3 players are trying to tackle KLL that's a f*** load of space somewhere else we should be exploiting and he should be seeing. I agree he's best as an impact sub, when defenders are tired he'll be under less pressure and have more time to look up and do something effective.

 

[Triggaaar]

He should never start ful stop, he is an inpact sub, last 10 - 15 minutes at most. How anyone can say he should start haven't a bloody clue about football.

So Gus hasn't a bloody clue then. Gus out.

 

[Zebedee]

Totally agree with Dobbie comments - looked uninterested, did not challenge as much as he should and also bottled one challenge altogether.

I am less than convinced by Dobbie so far. He looks as if he doesn't give a toss. He needs to shape up.. and quickly.

 

[Max Paper]

Probably shouldn't be up playing FIFA till the early hours before a match

KLL was up against Edwards tonight, who was the best player on the pitch by some distance.

He had him in his pocket all night, and dealt with Bridge too. Only a fresh Buckley gave him any sort of problem.

And maybe neither of them would ever get the ball as we'd be totally outnumbered in midfield.

As for Kaz, Edwards was searingly quick as he showed with one of his first half runs. If he can't outrun his marker then he's not really got the tricks. Doesn't make a him a bad player - just one who won't always be effective.

Agree totally, great ball for their goal by Edwards, had KLL sussed from the off, he knew how to deal with him. It's not always going to go our way.

Totally agree. Edwards was top boy tonight. Think he put the ball in for their goal too. Looked quality

 

[greyseagull]

Not only has he lost his pace, but I think he's lost his brain too...

He is becoming a bit of a one trick pony and his crossing also leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[seagullondon]

He had a good shot today something which we hadnt seen for a while and we nearly scored off the rebound.

But I agree with the above Edwards was excellent tonight and did a brilliant job on him.

 

[Davey Boy Smith]

If he was getting treatment in the warm up that might explain it a bit. He just seemed to be missing confidence today and made a couple of poor decisions too. Normally I get so excited when he gets the ball as he does something with it just didn't happen for him today. Agree that With Buckley not having a great game Saturday he was right to be dropped today. Will be interesting to see what happens when David Lopez gets fit to play 90minutes and with Orlandi and Buckley I'm not sure Lua Lua will get much of a look in... I want him too though as he can be such an exciting player.

 

[drew]

thought he was looking promising in the second half and was surprised was taken off.

This. He started poorly and gave away the ball with his first 5 touches but then he was getting into the game and was taken off. Not sure about the pace comments as I thought Ipswich marshalled him well.

This. Some people are weird! Edwards is very quick! He might be 33 but he's quick!

There's something not quite right with Calde.
He's half the player he was last season.

It's almost as if he's reluctant to cross the halfway line.
As opposed to not wanting to go back again.
