Poor lad gets put everywhere and anywhere; don't think he's ever going to get a proper run at DM. OTBC Clearly not. Although Lungi himself thinks he's a capable CB. He said as much when he joined us!

They were hardly out of form. They haven’t even been particularly good tonight. Just taken their chances half of which we’ve created for them. We’ve had as many good chances just missed them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No the two replacements haven't looked awful. What looks awful is the way we give the ball away further up the pitch which leads to overloads. We do it time and time again. Any defence would struggle in that scenario. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, they've both made catastrophic decisions as CBs and stupidly been dragged out of position chasing the ball like u5s football. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted April 14, 2023 So while we are discussing the real reason we are losing, there is a tennis match going on about Hanley. Its not about Hanley or Sorenson. Its higher up than that. Forget the past seasons, its what we are doing now. And we are letting Luton, Millwall, Preston and soon Coventry that are outperforming us.

canarydan23 4,060 Posted April 14, 2023 7 minutes ago, hogesar said: Well, that was under the assumption Sorensen could play CB. He shouldn't be ****ing playing there. The Blackburn and Rotherham games proved where he is most effective, but the useless **** tried a repeat of Monday's cluster**** and as we're playing someone half decent we're getting smashed. Clueless weapon stealing a salary because his mate is in a position of influence. Our club has become the ****ing Tory Party. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
