UPDATED: Dale Stephens SIGNS 3.5 Year Deal

[Triggaaar]

Rubbish Stephens

He looked tired, yes, but that's a bit harsh.

 

[sllugaes]

Rubbish Stephens was excellent tonight [emoji276]

No not excellent - OK - Not knocking his performance just average.

 

[BensGrandad]

Both Stephens and Kayal were outplayed, out thought and ought fought by McEachran and Woods who over shadowed Judge.for most of the game. Clubs have got wise to their influence for us and try to cut them out.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

I'm a big fan of Stephens, but now we have strength in depth, Chris should give him a much needed break. He played today like he needs a week in the Sun to recharge his batteries.

Hasn't he just had 10 days off?

 

[BrickTamland]

Some of the rubbish that gets spouted on here really does make me wonder how half of these posters even manage to turn their computer on.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Stephens played yesterday like he may have picked up the same bug that Wilson had (has).

3 vs 2, the same thing happened in the first half at Griffin Park. It was a similar story at Bolton earlier in the season.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Stephens hasn't played well now for a few games. Crofts seems back to form and Sidwell hasn't come to warm the bench so the pressure is on for him to get back to his best. We all know what he can do when he is on song.

Were you short of attention as a child? This is clearly such nonsense - about Kayal at least - that I can only assume you are fishing. (and I'm not one to wade in on you, but sometimes ,,,,)

 

[Arrid]

Been very average for a while, unadventurous, poor tackling, let his man run past him for Huddesfield goal (may have been injured), doesn't get close to his opponent and passing average if it's forward. Really struggling at the mo. Needs to go back to basics and prove himself again.

No matter what the team do or how convincingly the team win, 3-0 in this case, (which Stephens was a big part of) some people are unable to enjoy it and have to find something to moan about or a way to stick the boot in somehow

 

[BensGrandad]

Both have been off the mark for the last few games with Kayal losing possession more and having to battle to get it back and neither as influential as they were early season. Not sure of the reason possibly tired, injury or got sussed out but I hope they get back to their high standard of early season fairly soon.

Actually thought Kayal was on the mark last night...good assist for TH's goal

It's just an honest observation, the poor lad has played almost every minute of every match and it is starting to show.

That's not a Dig at anyone, we just haven't had the luxury of resting key players before, but with the addition of Sidwell we can give Dale a break.

Don't be so sensitive.

 

[BensGrandad]

Concerned about the number of time BK is losing the ball and then making desperate tackles to get it back which usually infuriates the ref and eventually finishes up with a yellow card.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Been off pace since December but he's played pretty much every minute except one game. I'd rest him and kayal for Bolton game.

Not being sensitive, just pointing out we have some 'fans' who seem to get great enjoyment out of finding fault or something negative to bring up, even when things are going well or there isn't really anything there to justify the criticism - It's almost a 'we've won, how do i put a dampener on things?'

He wasn't poor, he wasn't being out played by the Brentford team and he had an influence on the game.

Judging him by his own high standards, in my opinion, he was poor.

 

[Triggaaar]

I'd rest him and kayal for Bolton game.

If Kayal is ok, I'd just rest Stephens. Changing both is too much until Crofts and Sidwell have had more time.

So true we have come to expect more.
