Jimbo_Jet_Set 0 Posted February 20, 2010 Having read many of the posts on here this evening I''ve noticed that Michael Rose has been getting quite a lot of flak. Now I know that he is not in the same class as Drury but I''m not entirely sure what he has done wrong to suddenly become the centre of so much criticism. Is it because his arrival has coincided with a slump in our form? Is it because he is trying to replace a very good player in Drury? I''m not necessarily defending the guy but I would be genuinely interested to know what others thinkFor what it''s worth I don''t think he is that bad. His defending is solid and makes an effort to support attacks when he can. He gets little or no support from ,the massively overrated, Lappin either defensively or offensively. There are far weaker players in our side than him and I think much of the criticism directed towards him is due to the need for an easy scapegoat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salford 0 Posted February 20, 2010 So you''re not defending him but...his defending is solidhe makes an effort to support attackshe gets little or no support from lappinLOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Ascent 0 Posted February 20, 2010 Aree with a lot of what you say JJS but I think the problem is he''s having to step into the boots of Drury who has been extremely solid all season. Lappin leaves Rose exposed at times and Rose is still adapting to the system we play. He needs to get forward a lot more and put better balls into the box. He''s certainly not the worst player in our back four. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woody11 0 Posted February 20, 2010 he gives the ball away abit but he does need help from the midfeilders otherwise he just keeps booting it away everytime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted February 20, 2010 Looked out of his depth today I thought, out of position, beaten numerous times by Puncheon and gave the ball away countless times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought he was no worse today than many of the others on show. I''m prepared to be convinced otherwise though :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lambert is King 0 Posted February 20, 2010 Football is of course about opinions and I think I am right in saying I dont usually criticise any of our players, however as a defender he has got to be the worse left back I have seen at this club for a long while. Now in fairness it may just be he has had 3 bad games and is a very good player.This is not a one off please look at the threads since the first game he played and you will see that his player ratings from fans have been 3 - 5 all the time.Personally I just pray Drury will be back for March.

As for giving the ball away- who didn''t today? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salford 0 Posted February 20, 2010 Lambert has been clever in loaning rose. If we are promoted he''ll be bye bye back to stockport. I think he''s all right in this league though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arthur Whittle 0 Posted February 20, 2010 Hmmmm, I would say his passing is poor, his positioning is up for debate {I noticed Holt on many occasions telling him to go and mark so and so}. good throw in, but needs to start showing a bit more of himself.

grantroederdisaster 0 Posted February 21, 2010 What do you expect when signing someone from Stockport/ Rose is adequate at this level but has his limitations like many players at this level! The team as a whole wern''t in top form today against the Saints although the ref wasn''t fair with us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have however just seen a few clips on the FL show and was embarresed at his defending. These were not isolated incidents today he was torn apart. The same applies at Miilwall and Brighton.I do however hope that this is just a settleing in period but I fear not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smudger 0 Posted February 21, 2010 It is easier for many to criticise Rose than to place any blame on Lappin.As for the guy who claims he is our worst left back, has he forgotten Patrick Boyle already??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wandsworth Canary 0 Posted February 21, 2010 The main problem is the diamond gives our full backs little cover when the other teams breaks or attacks. Millwall and saints used width well against us and exposed this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
