" Robinson, McGuinness, O'Dowda & Ng "

Not going to praise anyone's performance today because I thought they were all poor.

But those four were the only ones to walk around the pitch and clap the fans at full time. Fair play to them and shame on the others for running straight down the tunnel.

They were the only ones that kept trying all game. We do have at least players that can be the base of a team if we can get someone in that has the skill to build them up.

I’d add Ojo to that group the way he’s playing atm.

As always it takes forever to get out of Canton if you stay to the final whistle and personally I decide that no matter how bad performances are I'll stay to the end. Others entitled to what they think but that's my thinking. Plus train (£32 a game for me) I paid £300 odd for my season ticket and want my money's worth :lol:

But yeah, agree that those four gave the most effort as well. Would particularly say that Robinson did.

Yep. He’s much more effective in a free role

I like Ojo there, even though he might try something and fk it up, he looks more dangerous. He has pretty solid ball control and can keep it away from a defender.

I respect that it wont always work out but atleast hes trying to make something happen

I am not a boo'er, every player in the squad tries their best. It's often not to the level required, but that's not their fault.

Ojo for all his skill has no composure near the goal, that's him, inconsistent.
Philiogene all the skill in the world but poor decision making but he is here for a reason.
Etete is painfully under-strength, but he is a kid in that frame.
Sawyers tries to run but his legs have gone, Ralls isn't far behind him.
Harris isn't that great and lost form since the WC
Davies is still learning the game and probably should have been in L2 a season ago

They all try.......

Yeah I was a bit unfair on Etete. Gave his best and at one point made a good tackle for a counter attack we wasted.

And he runs his nuts of covering when we haven’t got the ball.

Ojos attitude seems to have improved since the Leeds game. Giving 110 percent now, can't fault him at all

Taking him off for Davies was tbr wronb move. We should have taken philogene

Totally agree with this.

I believe every player tries but sometimes the system they have to play in makes them look bad. Lets put Calum Robinson in goal. Every cross that comes in he will be committed to collecting it but will most likely misjudge them all. Every back pass to him he will most likely want to shoot. Damn don't tell Tan that.
