Here we go… scapegoat city. Give the guy a chance. Today wasn’t good, but it’s early days. One bad kick of the ball doesn’t make a bad player. Let’s see how he responds to this and move forward from there.
He's got football pie all down his shirt tonight.

I think he'll come good. He's got a ball winning tenacity.

It was a big mistake from him today not to put the game to bed, but you can't blame him for it. Misplaced passes happen all the time.

We didn't need four players committed,.............
Maybe not, but he still should have passed to one of them. Just one. One out of four, all available.
they're just as responsible for the goal.
....err, no.

He should have. He tried to. His misplaced the pass. These things happen.

Why did it happen? Nerves maybe, lack of game time, or just bad luck to mistime a pass (which ALL players do) at the worst time.

It is of course possible that he's not good enough, such as the angry mob with pitchforks have concluded - but in reality, the club knows what they're doing, and if he didn't have the ability to make those kinds of passes, he wouldn't be at the club and he certainly wouldn't be on the pitch.

People need to chill the f*** out and be patient. This will be completely forgotten if/when he finds his feet and puts in more good performances.

Feel sorry for the bloke, don't think he or Gruda should have been introduced in a game as close as that.

As bad as Weiffer's ball was which will grab all the attention, Gruda was comically as bad as he was against Spurs.

Yeah, I know. He's young and all that and will undoubtedly improve but the early signs are underwhelming to say the least.

Th

e problem with ducking up a 4 on 1 so spectacularly is that it then presents the opposition with a 10 on 6.

Even ManC would’ve left their defence and DM in place at 2-1, probably more midfielders. An obvious and huge insurance policy to 3 points.

I don’t think FH wanted the arrogance of what we saw, players lost their heads.

What annoyed me most was that after the goal and at the end of the game he was on floor curled up.

Yes it’s embarrassing what you did but get up, stand up and take it.

If I was the manager I would have been on the pitch pulling up off the floor.

Give the guy a break. He made a mistake, shit happens.

I have every confidence he will bounce back and become a vital member of our squad going forward.

Part of being a supporter is supporting the players and the team through good times and bad times.
This is NSC mate they are mostly Kimberly Clark supporters as a clue they make Diapers (y)

If there were many ahead of him, why weren't they, er, chosen to play ahead of him?
Because they're now playing for Chelsea, Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund and Napoli?


.................................. and where was Hinshelwood?

You can’t judge Gruda on today. He came into a game we weren’t not controlling, where we were being tactically dominated. He didn’t stand a chance. And all that whilst not having a proper preseason.

It’s part of a mistake that cost 2 points. Experienced heads may have realised we are deep in stoppage time and winning and taken the ball towards the corner (to the groans of the stadium) and taken a corner or a throw in and killed the game off. The pass didn’t have to be played.

I completely disagree. There is many a time when, like you say, the player should take it to a corner flag. But not when it's 4 on 1 and you have the chance to end the game. 4 on 1! It's unfathomable that he managed to find the one Wolves player.

We should have simply walked that into the net.
