Spartan 0 Posted February 21, 2009 Chris Killen hardly got a touch of the ball for the whole of the 20 minutes he was played and was dire; couldn''t get his head on anything or win a ball. Why did Gunny take Cort & Cureton off at such a crucial time in the game, to be replaced by a totally ineffective Killen, and a young lad (very promising though he is) who was far too inexperienced for such an important game. Once Cort went off there was no one to flick on the long punts from Marshall (when he actually managed to get any distance on them) or hold the ball up, and we missed the experience of Cureton who scored a good goal and was having one of his better games. Hoolahan had a great game and had asked to come off, but why not bring on a wide player to replace him? Oh thats right, we didn''t have one on the bench (what would we give for a Huckerby???). Gunny is a great guy, but is showing his inexperience of football management in terms of both team selection and substitutions. Still, when interviewed later he and the players seemed pretty chuffed with a draw at home against a ''good'' midtable team; could this complacency be why we are fighting relegation? What I saw today was a bore draw, and not a game where the home team were giving everything for the cause. Isn''t it strange how all season the fans have been watching a quite different game to the manager and players? Still, renewed our season tickets today so can''t be totally disillusioned; only partly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
