Evatt… you are NOT as good as you think you are

Just aimless hoofball
Terrible

Rubbish yet again that should have been another 3 points especially with Victors point blank miss. We just still haven’t a clue how to overcome physical in your face teams, even ones as poor as Burton and I’m really not sure if Ian actually knows how to fix it?

That was really bad.
Nothing like a promotion performance.
All the early season class was gone and we just played hoofball against another hoofball team.
We started sloppily and should have conceded twice early on. First Iredale, whose passing today was appalling, played a back pass straight to their man who went round Baxter and hit the post when he should have scored. And then Baxter played a suicide ball to Dempsey to leave their man one on one against Baxter and he thankfully shot wide.
Burton were a yard faster to the ball and kept nicking the ball off our player’s toes.
We had one decent attack in the 1st half when Williams broke and brought a good save out of their keeper.
2nd half and Forrester replaced the injured Santos and we started terrible.
Yet again, we lost the ball in our own half 20 yards out. They broke down the right and centred and our defence was all over the show for a simple tap in
We equalised when the ball broke kindly for Charles to break through and take his chance well to roll the ball home.
After that we should have won but we were sloppy. Our passing didn’t improve but Cogley set up Adeboyejo for a simple goal but he hit it too near the keeper who saved well. The ball broke back to Adeboyejo and he managed to slip when shooting. Summed him up.
We had most of the 2nd half and should have won but our style of play was so poor. Just hit and hope.
The number of times that we just humped the ball forward and Burton’s defence easily cleared was ridiculous.
There was no style to our play today – it was dreadful, average play and NOT promotion quality.
Marks:-
Baxter - 7 Made one tremendous save in the 2nd half. Should have given Burton a goal in the 1st half when his kick to Dempsey was intercepted’
Dacres - Cogley - 5 A couple of late runs in the 2nd half but overall had real problems getting forward.
Williams - 6 A good shot in the 1st half and some decent runs in the 2nd.
Jones - 6 Outjumped for the chance that Baxter made a great save from and all over the place for their goal.
Santos - 6 Injured early on but was steady up to being subbed at half time.
Iredale - 4 Terrible. He gave Burton an open goal from which they hit the post and his passing and centering from free kicks was awful.
Maghoma - 5 Some neat looking moves but created little.
Thomason - 6 Did what he does – got stuck in. One good pass in the 1st half but little creation.
Dempsey - 5 A real struggle. Involved in losing the ball for their goal and just could not get going.
Charles - 6 Busy as usual. Took his chance well.
Adeboyejo - 4 I know he scored a hat trick recently but he is dreadful. No ball control and then missed a sitter which would have won us the match.
Forrester - 7 Very good. Calm – Gary Cahil like – did well
Jerome - 5 Not anything
Mendes-Gomez - 5 Looks like there is something there with him but not coming off at the moment.
Nlundulu - 4 We take Charles off to bring him on thereby taking away any chance of a goal.
Sheehan - 6 Steady and at last put some proper passes in.

Glad we stopped a rut. But I'm really glad that these two performances have happened with just short of a week left to do something.
Sharon says she wants automatics. But she hasn't backed us nearly enough to do that. Put up or shut up.
We need 4 more players. Quality players. 4 out, 4 in. Out: John, Sadlier, Jerome, Nlundulu.
In a RWB, DM, AM and a speedy striker.

In a RWB, DM, AM and a speedy striker. You might get 2 of your 4 out OM in John and Sads but no way is Evatt going to out, even on loan, Jerome and Dan and admit he’s made a mistake with them. I know he sees something in Dan and I get that, he does have attributes but he’s so far away from delivering them that for me he should be in the B Team or a last resort as a first team member. Bringing those two on yesterday when we were on top and searching for the goal to kill the game off he subs our two major threats. I’ll bet Burton couldn’t believe their luck. As for players in, unless we sell someone for cash first I just don’t see it. For me there are only two worth money in Dion and Rico but with Rico now injured I think we can write that one off. If we were to lose Dion I hate to think where we’ll be because for the money we’d get for him where would we find an equal replacement? The next few days will be interesting to say the least but if Evatt is serious that there are no more incomings I think we’ll struggle to be in contention come January. |
