Dale Stephens

[Eeyore]

The MOM award seems to be a standing joke. Invariably it seems to be awarded to whoever our goalscorers are. I find it hard to take seriously.

 

[ewe2]

Stephens was my man of the match......but a poor one !

 

[St Leonards Seagull]

Apart from the goal Stephens was terrible, as were the rest of the team.
Stephens struggled to make 2 consecutive complete passes in the second half, I was exasperated at the amount of times he gave the ball away.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

So do misses.

A game starts 0-0. Several misses later it finishes 0-0.

Must admit thought Dale was the best of a bad bunch and that Kaz should have stayed on as he was gradually getting the whole Blackpool team booked and eventually we could have seen a red

Spot on. Why take Kaz off when he just put their central defender on a card. Stephens has to take part of the responsibility for the lack of fluency in our passing and midfield play today.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Kaz was injured which is why he went off.

 

[supaseagull]

You were at the wrong game. Stephens and Kaz were the only threat we had going forward.

 

[Machiavelli]

Oh come on, he can also pass back pretty well too.

He sometimes manages to do this over a distance of six yards too. I don't mind him playing passes sideways and backwards, what I mind is him doing so when there's a forward pass available. Ince instead of Andrews on Friday please.

 

[Rookie]

Not afraid to take the ball in sometimes difficult positions which is why he will give the ball away.

 

[Machiavelli]

Damning with faint praise.

Stephens was better than Solly.
Stephen Hawkins would have been better than Solly.







Not clouded by having money on March to score today, in any way shape or form.

And yet you didn't start a thread about March, but did about Stephens. I'll be interested to see how their scores both end up when Acker announces them in a few days time.

Because Solly got carted off at half-time, and Stephens was named MotM.

Clearly I agree with one decision, the other beggers belief, hence the thread.
It's not rocket science.

 

[BensGrandad]

Thought that he was the obvious choice as MOM as he had a very good game.

 

[The Large One]

Dale Stephens quite comfortably.

 

[Silk]

Andrews was MoM for me, but Stephens not far behind.

But it doesn't begged belief from quite a few people it seems

 

[livingston seagull]

Just shows it's all about opinions. I thought Greer was fine, in the NSC player ratings thread for today, almost everyone's given him a lower score than Upson, Bruno and Ward. Is he always viewed that way?

That's because his passing was bloody awful today, he gave the ball away on almost ever occasion he passed the ball forward!

and yet four minutes later...

I think the quite a few still stands...maybe look back in forty minutes

It's a shame some people are clearly prepared to forgive anything for the sake of one, albeit great, goal.

Although not a bigger shame as the fact although poor, today, clearly DS was a long way from being the worse performer.
