Embarrassing last night

Wed Sep 28, 2016 7:34 am

What can we honestly expect if xahore is our second striker? don't think I have ever lost faith in a manager as quickly as I have with Trollope. How can he have any belief when his second striker is zohore ? It's not the kids fault, but anybody who has played or watched football can identify he's not a football player. It's embarrassing. He has no positional sense, can't jump even though he's a giant, doesn't know when to drop off or when to spin, hasn't the work ethic either. I couldn't believe what I was watching last night. With Trollope in charge and zahore we deserve to go down. Complete shambles against another poor team in Derby who could hardly be bothered. Modern football hey?

Apologies for the negativity, am more in shock than anything and wondering what the hell is going on at our club. Bellamy night not be the answer but zahore wouldn't even make the bench let alone play most of the match. Play a kid not a guy off the street. Baffling. :sad7:

Zohore like many other players under contract, a) shouldn't be here and b) shouldn't be professional footballers.

I firmly believe Trollope is just a play thing for Tan to pick and choose his side week in week out, no self respecting manager would put a complete cart-horse on the pitch, well apart from Alan Durban :lol:

I don't believe tan picks the team, ludicrous but you do wonder if he's leaning on Trollope to include him. Still baffled.

Bird? Although the new rules now allow our top kids to be taken by cat one academy's so the rich get richer. Shocking rule.

Surely Rhyl Healey would off been a better option than loaning him out. Or give young Jamie bird a run out at least he might actually get a touch of the ball :lol:

Eli Phipps seems to be a goalscoring machine for the academy. Top prospect linked to the big boys
Where was Fred last night ? surely hes 2nd choice. Injured again ?

The necessity to play with a big central striker is the one that scares me.....

Derby had very technical midgets all through the team, if you don't launch long high balls why do you need a big lump up field. The bloody irony is we stopped playing long ball to the big lump when Zahore came on.

Kelvin Etuhu spings to mind. A youngster Citeh were convinced was a top striker ends up a midfielder in league 1 !! Although Kelvin was a lot better than Zahore......A lot better !

Plan B needs to be pace and movement is Rickie is injured
