As we won, and scored 6, I think they deserve a thread.

Great to see Amari finally score and his assist for Diego's hat-trick was class.

Ralph / RCS - take a look at who lost their man for the Leics goal and who the rest of the defence was looking at for an explanation

These things happen. If you are going to be fair, rather than picking on one player I assume you will look next at every goal we have conceded and tally up who makes the vital fatal mistake for each one.confused.com wrote:Ralph / RCS - take a look at who lost their man for the Leics goal and who the rest of the defence was looking at for an explanation
Then also add up minutes played by each of these players. And then work out who leads to the most goals per minute played.
And this doesn't necessarily mean the last mistake before conceding, but the vital one. Eg if JC is out of position and lets a player in one on one vs Downes who inexplicably falls over the fault is with JC not AD. Similarly, if AD passes to KS, so JC moves forward to attack, and KS gets tackled and the opponent breaks into the space vacated by JC who can't get back then the vital fault is with KS.
Once you have done this for every goal, show us the stats and if JC is the worst offender in terms of goals per minute I will accept your targeted criticism. If not, I do not accept there is evidence to suggest JC deserves daily criticism above and beyond what other under-performers receive. My money would be on KS, AD, DP all being worse.

Sad state of affairs when you want to be discussing who is the worst of the bunch. Comment is in relation to my 'negative remarks ' at half time. Also as Shade has posted elsewhere, this happens 2 or 3 time a match. I still believe that NO defender should lose his man that easily or that often.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:These things happen.

In your scenarios above a) I would put JC down as a definite assist. b) nobody would blame JC for that one, he is obv under orders to get forward as often as possible.
Also I believe when reading these threads all those you name come under daily criticism. And also believe the regularly losing your man (because he does), is unacceptable. It is not due to a mistake, not down to just not being good enough. It is lack on concentration and lack of effort to get back to rectify that.
I won't go on about it any more. There are those on here who see the same issues and those like your good self who see it as being on a par with other lesser performers in the team.

Whilst I know Ben Hamer came off and was not in goal all game, his Soccerbase stats make depressing reading.
Last 2 games

Let's hope he joins a team in L2 and we play them in February and score 7 to keep his run going!
