Too right Dr Mike, they were trying, trying their arses off but isn't it
completely obvious that most of the players in that team are nowhere near good
enough to play in a team who has top 6 ambitions. We've relied heavily on Siaz
and Hernandez this season and when they've been absent or having a nightmare as
Hernandez did today we look clueless.
I was supposed to be staying out in Leeds for a few beers tonight but after
that I just did a swerve for the train and I am now sat a bit happier with my
glass of vino tinto.
But reflecting, just makes this worse. One fact, which I'm sure everyone who
was at the game today will state is that Sheff Wed were the poorest team that
have come to ER this season and yes that includes Burton. They were clueless,
slow and had a big lump up front who gave us more problems that he should have.
George Boyd who I thought was a decent player looks finished and in general
they looked like a team incapable of winning this match.
So what does that say about us ? For me, Hecky is turning us into Barnsley. I
don't see any signs that he is having a positive affect ? There's been
absolutely no 'new manager affect' and if anything I see a system and players
that appear far more pedestrian than they did under the hapless Thomas
Christiansen. Hecky's main changes have been the keeper (yes that was forced)
and bringing back Dallas and Ekuban. It hasn't worked and today and whilst Dr
Mike was right in that there was clearly a lot of effort there was nobody
capable of hurting Wednesday.
Their goals were really worrying. Pennington for me has failed. I thought he
looked like a player but their second showed he hasn't got the strength or the
defensive nouse to be a top defender. You also have to ask where he was for the
first goal ? The defence was all over the shop today not helped by bringing in
a yound lad for his debut. Like a lot of modern day, young defenders, Pearce
looks the part and to give him credit he showed second half that he has a nice
left foot, but FFS he's a defender and to be honest I think I know how to
defend better than him and the number of times he put his defence under
pressure with stupid back passes. A poor debut for me.
I was hoping it might get snowed off second half. It was a miserable afternoon
even a goal from Grot couldn't cheer things up. He's worth a start now though
and I do think with confidence he will make it despite some horror shows this
season.
Scores:
Farelly Peacock - 5. Made a couple of saves. He's not the answer for me though.
Beradi - 4. Tried as captain to get things going but he couldn't also suspect
defending.
Pearce - 3. Poor defending. He's not in the team to play 40 yard left foot
passes.
Jansson - 5. I thought he looked shaky but not surprising given his co-defenders
Pennington - 2. Really poor. I think he will going back to everton at the end
of the season and they wil surely terminate his contract if they've been
watching him.
Forshaw - 7. I thought that was possibly his best game for us. He really worked
his arse off and actually drove forward whe he could.
O'Kane - 2. Did he do owt ?
Dallas - 2. Come on Hecky ? You've given this guy a chance but he's clearly got
nothing to offer. A totally average player. In fact average is flattering him.
Hernandez - 5. Had more of the ball than anyone but he just kept giving it
away. Not a good day for Pablo.
Allioski - 5. First half he tried but just didn't have the ability to hurt them.
Ekuban - 1. Had the chances , missed them. Poor.
Subs:
Lasogga - did make a difference
Grot - scored . I think that's the 7th goal of his career
Philips - why ?
Crowd - big, cold and pissed off.
Hecky - if Cellino was in charge he'd be a gonner and that might not be a bad
call ?
More red wine for me ...
