'GESTEDE STARTING'

Sat Dec 29, 2012 2:30 pm

I for one thinks he deserves it, excited to see how he does given a full game this season. No doubt some people will call him out no matter how well he plays but I really hope he has a good game. Thoughts? :ayatollah:

I think it's a good choice, HH has played every game so far I think, and being 35 I bet he's knackered by now. Meanwhile Rudy has been improving with every game, makes sense. Hopefully he works well with Bellers :ayatollah:

I've been a huge critic of Gestede but he has looked good in the last few times I have seen him. He needs a goal though.

Lovely play by Noone, tore the full back a new one. Great little finish by Rudy too :ayatollah:

Well taken goal but fair play noone is f*cking class!

Noone is f*cking amazing, when he was 1 on 1 with that defender you could see it coming, amazing ball across and quality finish from RUDY!

He didn't do much else though.

Even John Salako said he was poor apart from the goal.

John salako said?

C'mon give him some credit. Got a chance and scored. Won headers. It was a scrappy game. Nobody can criticise gestede after today's game, there were worse performers in our team today (Whitt)

Yeah, he was commentating on the game for SSN. Not sure who was the commentary on my stream though he never really mentioned him either.

I've gave him credit for the goal, but he did little else apart from that. He should be winning headers.

Whitts wasn't great but every time he gets the ball you feel something could happen. Rudy doesn't give off that vibe. Mutch failed to impress much again too.

You should go to specsavers mate whitts didnt give the ball away and was a calming influence in the latter stages.

Turner n Hoof punting it up to Rudy for most of the time made it scrappy.

I counted 1 header Rudy won which went to his own team mate. Useless.

Rudy did win a few headers in fairness, but you're totally correct about Whitts, he calmed the game down which eventually calmed me down. Although he did go off the boil mid way through the second half

Well. I'm sorry but Rudy is not up to the job.

If we put him on the transfer list... Who would come in for him??

His touch is not good enough. He is not imposing at all considering
his size, and he does not dominate in the air. He looked lost today

Re: 'GESTEDE STARTING'

Whitt misplaced passes and was caught in possession. Probably one of his worst performances this season.

Rudy won more than 1 header, lets be fair. Why do some people want to abuse our own players? Give him credit when it's due. Scored a goal with his only chance if the game. Wasn't a quality performance but neither was it for many today in a physical game

Without game time how do you expect him to improve ?

Im giving an honest assement not being absuive, no difference to you saying whitts had a stinker which he didnt imo.

Lets agree to disagree as we were obviously at different games

Game time? he's had bloody plenty of time on that pitch. Improve what?
The basics? His control is not good enough for this division and he is too
easily muscled off the ball.

Dave I made a point of watching him closely today as thought I was being harsh but I wasnt.

He gets bullied too easy, cant hold the ball and cant time his jumps.

6 foot 4 and jumps 5 foot 9.

I swear he crouches when he jumps too and so doesn't actually get any height :?

At least he's sorted his running out now though so he lasts more than twenty minutes without pulling his hammy.
