Yellow Green Army 248 Posted May 16 The only one who can hold his head up high. He was brave, wanted the ball and tried to get the team up the pitch. The rest were absolutely dreadful and that includes Sara and Rowe. A chance to play at Wembley and they bottled it. Sargent clearly not fit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,358 Posted May 16 Was disappointed we didn't start Sainz tonight, I hope we can keep hold of the boy for a few more seasons. Still raw but there's some player in there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Giannoulis played well and with determination, was the only one who was switched on in the first 20 minutes and was absolutely devastated when they scored their 2nd goal in what will now be his final game for the club. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deptford Yellow 295 Posted May 16 Giannoulis started well for sure but I suspect we won’t see him in yellow and green again … Sainz runs and runs - miles better than Rowe tonight …. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarydan23 4,760 Posted May 16 Giannoulis could have played like Roberto Carlos today and he'd have stilled got subbed just after an hour because we have 50 IQ Wagner in the dugout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Mass Debater 1,202 Posted May 16 Error to drop Sainz for Barnes in retrospect. Rowe's second start in a week after 4 months out, Barnes first start, Sargent not fit. We pplayed 3 crocks up front and it showed I think. I wonder if we were disappointed with SVH in the end. Has really seemed reluctant to play him, that and what we've seen on the pitch suggests he really wasnt as good as perhaps we thought he was. Otherwise you'd have played him ahead of Sargent and Barnes if neither were fully fit. Not that it would have made a difference but I think a fit Idah would start ahead of an unfit Sarge/Barnes 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rock bus 1,059 Posted May 16 (edited) Should be getting in a young manager who will build a team around Sainz and allow him to shine. Edited May 16 by rock bus 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nexus_Canary 1,206 Posted May 16 WTF was Rowe starting for - sell him (if anyone will have him) cash in now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's fair to fault him for the third goal though. Tracking back he has a look over his shoulder so he knows where his opponent is and then does nothing about it, choosing to mark thin air instead. He knows he's left his man unmarked to stick one in once we've conceded Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keith Scott 294 Posted May 16 Sainz is literally the only player worth keeping. Maybe Sargent, although i wouldn't be overly disappointed if he left. The rest of them, and that includes the HUGELY overrated Nunez, Sara, and Rowe, aren't fit to wear the shirt. All the best. Big Keith Scott. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
non-scoring strikers 153 Posted May 16 We also need a manager who lets Sainz play. Benching him tonight, taking him off early in recent games, pulling him back when he’s getting in space… etc. It feels like Wagner has something against him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,174 Posted May 16 you have to play your Dangerous players a Sainz one of the best we have i would have start Sara in the middle of Rowe and Sainz Sara was far to isolated out wide and could not influence the Game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,923 Posted May 16 A big frustration of the Wagner system is that Rowe, Sara, Sainz etc are primarily runners and structural players. They spend an awful lot of time not threatening the opposition goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
