I think Redfearn is starting too look a bit silly

Our keeper is a serie b reject, our best 3 defenders atm are serie a rejects and one serie b reject, our best striker is, you guessed it, a serie a reject and the kids last night were bloody awful.

How does that mean Redfearn is silly?

Most players are rejects if they played for more than one club.

14 Aug 2015 20:37:41
Smitch mate you do some excellent posts but this one is just, well, silly.

14 Aug 2015 21:15:30
Ok I've worded it wrong, his philosophy was completely wrong and people kept on saying how well he done and how good he was, but in truth all he did was create a divide between the players and put the youngsters in the shop window

14 Aug 2015 16:26:38
Ross turnbull for first choice like him tbf was really good taking the ball out of the air I do like silvestre but he has you closing your eyes everytime a ball is sent in

14 Aug 2015 18:52:07
Silvestri woulda saved that penalty and may have saved a few in the shootout, so I disagree.

{Ed013's Note - I'm sorry mate but there is no way you can be sure of that and pens are a lottery. I think Turnbull played well and was close to two of the pens}

14 Aug 2015 19:24:39
Well I think its good to know we have two good goalies. Personally on the evidence of last night, and previous games from Silvestri, I don't mind who plays - they do have different styles and the competition can do no harm

14 Aug 2015 20:40:17
Agree with Speedy. Two totally different types of keepers, if you can have such a thing!

15 Aug 2015 08:52:10
yes one good at diving saves and one good in air but need both skills together

15 Aug 2015 11:31:38
I like silvestre he is top draw shot stopper but he's weak in the air Burnley exploited it as will other teams not saying turnbull should be there all the time maybe against big teams(as in tall) lost count how many crosses he claimed maybe just maybe it will rub off on silvestre saying this though he won us a lot of points last season and is one of the best in the league .

I hope Rosler's comments about Wooton were simply a case of him not wishing to criticise one of his players in public. Wooton I believe has serious limitations wherever he plays and how he keeps getting selected is a mystery. Rosler did however speak very highly of Ajose not long before telling him he wouldn't get another game at Leeds in the future. So who can tell what's in the head coach's mind? Probably the way it should be. Let's see what the future holds Team looked better against Burnley. Just hope Wood can prove he is a goal scorer rather than just another player who can lead the line. Morison could do that.

14 Aug 2015 19:17:35
Ditto to that Hess
Don't think a manager should ever criticise a player in public, and vice versa.
We do enough of that!
That's the stuff that should be left behind closed doors. Hope we are learning from the past in that respect

14 Aug 2015 20:24:48
Wooton is there to make up the numbers at this point. To give say Bamba a rest every now and again but playing him in midfield was extremely wrong. Hopefully we sell him and Ajose soon and acquire better players but can't see that happening until January. We could've played Sloth last night. Real insult to prefer Wooton over him.

15 Aug 2015 08:55:07
well means sloth will never get game I guess

14 Aug 2015 11:43:38
Dissapointed with that showing. Gutted we got beat by Donny but it did show what we have. Why Wooton gets a game is beyond my understanding, surely Phillips would have been best choice, but maybe Rosler used game to try out a few things, hope he learnt something. Douks really poor showing in games, thought he would have been suited to way we are playing but out of his depth. Hope Wood gets a goal soon, don't need another Morrison. can't understand what's going on with Sloth as surely there was a place for him in the team last night, and in the matchday squads instead of Wooton. Defence still lacks a bit of discipline and ball needs to get forward quicker. Some positives as we seem to know the game plan and I think if Cook had stayed on we would have beat them easily but its a young team and they were not sure how to compensate, will have learnt a bit. Still need a couple of signing on this showing, defence midfield and attack

14 Aug 2015 10:40:13
common sence if he wanted to give wotton a game it had to be right back ( in changing room )not centre midfield we all know that . WAKE UP COACH DERRRRR

14 Aug 2015 10:17:42
So if we take out
Douk
Sloth
Wooten
Cooper
How deep is our team?
Shallow I reckon
Barton and Buckley anyone?

14 Aug 2015 15:20:18
Your best post yet Ausman

14 Aug 2015 08:40:37
You should of seen my header last night! Iwas standing outside my lounge having a fag ( misses sent me out!) Minding my own business when a ball came out of nowhere hit me a the head and went straight in my grandkids garden goal! Does that mean woods gets an assist?? Lol

14 Aug 2015 08:15:57
What we learned from last nights game is that Wootton and Doukara arn't good enough. That Dallas and Wood are not quite on their game yet, (I think once Wood gets one he'll get a bag full).
The two Italians were our best players. Turnbull looked like he will be an able deputy, but the main reason we lost last night was Cook getting sent off. I thought we were controlling the game up until the penalty and would have done again if we'd have kept eleven on the pitch. I couldn't really care less about the league cup. I just hope missing Cook for the next three league games doesn't cost us points.
I've heard Lewis Cook is in the new Dads Army film playing the part of Pike. Stupid boy! :-)

14 Aug 2015 09:26:41
we played with 8 men for most of the game , Cook off and Wootton and Daktari worse than useless.Its worrying Rosler did not spot thier inability in preseason and training

14 Aug 2015 06:06:56
Ok not many positives from last night and getting in after midnight and up early doors is certainly no bonus. I thought when Cook was sent off and I've still to see this right on TV, because where I was stood it looked like a strong tackle, I thought we defended well. Ok it was men behind the ball, but it was ok. I thought Turnbull played well and Uwe's substitutions were attacking minded. All those whoever thought Doukara was a player must now be of the same opinion I've had for a year, he's not that cracking at all. Couldn't even control it. Still here's to Sunday.

14 Aug 2015 09:47:06
Cook's tackle was two footed, automatic red. Agree about Doukara, could not trap a bag of cement

14 Aug 2015 12:19:41
Seen it now Notts and I agree nowadays players can't go in two footed. 10 years ago I still think it would have been classed as a decent tackle :) The kid looked genuinely sorry afterwards.

14 Aug 2015 13:22:14
Yes JT, he is not malicious, he just over ran the ball and had the desire to win it back. Unfortunately he got it wrong.
