Jsim1986 150 Posted November 20, 2021 Just now, TeemuVanBasten said: I was really excited to see his name on the teamsheet, but I can't disagree. Has looked unfit and at times like he doesn't want to make himself available for the ball, get Tsoliz on, or even Giannoulus at left wing would probably be an improvement. Agreed, it was dribbling Infront of his box with 3 players Infront of him and giving the ball away that did it for me ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keith Scott 245 Posted November 20, 2021 Smith has got it badly wrong. No surprise. Hanley, Cantwell and Gilmour should never have come back in. If i was Omobamidele i would hand in a transfer request. All the best, Big Keith Scott. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,898 Posted November 20, 2021 Well. That wasn't great 😬...but it's still 1-1. I wasn't expecting much from Smith's first game tbf - too soon for him to have had any real impact. Anything today would be a bonus. OTBC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,138 Posted November 20, 2021 Central midfield killing us again. Gilmour is a small boy completely lost in the men's game and McLean offers nothing, Normann is not a holding midfielder  Also the standard of this league is ridiculous now, if Southampton are a what a lower midtable side looks like then god help us we have no chance 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted November 20, 2021 Bit hard to criticise after one half but Hanley in for AO was a big mistake. Todd is not a defender and he is spending his time in our last third. Farkeball has definitely gone as we try and get the ball forward earlier but its going to take time to adjust to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have a general lack of quality in that area, without a doubt, but I can't help but feel that McLean and Gilmour is never going to be our best pairing. I honestly think we should take a punt on Sorenson as DM, then Normann in the middle with Lees-Melou. Edited November 20, 2021 by TeemuVanBasten 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuzzar 1,702 Posted November 20, 2021 Really poor performance. They look a class above - bigger, faster and stronger. They're playing through our midfield with ease and both fullbacks are always in space. How did we get to half time level!?! Hanley at fault for the first goal and really poor. Todd looks rusty and lightweight. Omo looks really unlucky to have lost his place... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hurricane 21 Posted November 20, 2021 Looks like we have abandoned playing out from the back, all goal kicks are long which mostly have gone back to Southampton and put the pressure back on us, a dominating midfielder or two we are missing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
