Title: christian roberts
Post by: Bennett on Tuesday, August 23, 2005, 21:14:14
i think it's time he was cut from the wage budget. in a match where very little effort was displayed he appeared to give even less than normal and really really was appaling

(i think thorpe may be the next to face my wrath aswell)

Heath upfront!!!
He nearly scored a piss-take goal by kicking it through his own legs!

Cureton and Fallon should be the first choices though, with Heath a viable alternative if necessary

one things for sure he shouldn't be played left wing...especially when our left winger goes into central midfield...when he's already said he doesn't like playing there.

Thorpe needs a kick up the arse and soon. Roberts will get better I think, he has shown a lot of positives this season.

Cureton and Fallon all the way.

Chrissy Roberts is a 'confidence' player. He needs to be playing regularly. He adds pace to the team, and just needs a break a la grunt sniff.

i'll be more than happy for king to give roberts a break as soon as we know we're safe! but whilst we're underpeforming as we did tonight he really doesn't warrant any wages

He wasn't dredful, even if he has had much better games...

Did Thorpe go straight down the tunnel? Think he's wank n lazy (yes im in a slagging mood, but to be fair cant afford to keep wasting money to see shit rate performances and losing to shit teams) he will be gone by January...I HOPE ALONG WITH SMITH!


Title: christian roberts
Post by: reeves4england on Tuesday, August 23, 2005, 22:02:08
Gone where? Its not loike we can afford to pay him off, and if he really as bead as he seems so far then nobody else will want him...


Title: christian roberts
Post by: FlashGordon on Tuesday, August 23, 2005, 22:04:19
He may get released by mutual consent? Thorpe that is cos he looks far from happy?Did he storm down the tunnel when subbed?


Title: christian roberts
Post by: stfc11 on Tuesday, August 23, 2005, 22:08:48
yep he stormed down the tunnel straight away

Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, August 23, 2005, 22:13:57
Roberts was almost non-existent and Thorpe was just useless, the fact he threw a strop after being subbed speaks volumes.

Post by: stfc11 on Tuesday, August 23, 2005, 22:19:20
when Gareth Whalley came off for Nicolau he seemed very unhappy didn't even look at Nicolau shock his hand and sat in the dugout in a strop, seems non of them want to come off even when they're not giving it their all!!!

Roberts was utter shit tonight, one of the worst performances on the pitch.  He just didn't look like he could be arsed

Ah well, onwards and upwards! Lets hope they are up for Yeovil and perform for us. If we lose to Yeovil I'm gonna begin my worrying...

 I thought Heath was a mascot a bit like 69 a season or so back....:shock:  shocked to see that he stayed on.

I think it's unfair to criticise any of our front men when our midfield is as f***ing s**t as it is at the moment. :evil:

Whalley - Shouldn't have started looks unfit (in his defence I think that he's still suffering from ilness).

Pook - Will be superb, good goal but has the touch and vision of a blind cripple.

Heath - Good for about 10 mins, anonymous otherwise.

Shakes - Our best player (and a great signing), but always had no support when he did get into some space.

I'm not saying that Thorpe or Roberts played well (far from it) but when your having to come into your own half to help the defence clear the ball because your midfield are wandering aimlessly is not surprising that they lose confidence and under perform. I think Thorpes hissy fit was more in frustration at the team behind him rather than being substituted.

and don't get me started on our defence :evil:

Or that useless son of a hoar of a ref!

I thought Roberts and Thorpes attitude was totally wrong as does King from his interview - I can understand Roberts being like he is .. he has done well in the last few games and never got a match at Blackpool and he has been here for a while

But THORPE - has been here 5 mins .. has picked up more bookings than goals .. and his attitude STINKS for a new player

I dont know what is wrong with Whalley .. he doesnt look fit .. must be ill .. no one can be that slow naturally

Roberts is carrying alot of weight still, needs to train harder.

Oxford Fan made a good point last night, after a hernia operation some people become addicted to the pain killers and look to food to replace the craving for the pills.

I think JMH75 has made a great point that I noticed during the game but didn't really pick up on.
Thorpe got a lot of criticism because when he got the ball he was lost and did nothing with it.
But when he is the only one in the Wycombe half what do you expect? Roberts was back trying to help the defence clear the ball, and the midfield were somewhere between the dugout and McDonalds

Post by: Johno on Wednesday, August 24, 2005, 10:03:30
i also spotted this out...it was obvious whenever he got the ball, the only player there was roberts and that would have involved a pass out wide which would have done nothing, or he just had to try and hold it up, but lost it everytime unfortunetely. i do remember thorpe having some good chances though...

Roberts was crap and disinterested, but thorpe was worse.

What does he actually DO other than stand around and argue with the ref?

No pace, no power, cant hold the ball up. All that city fans told me about him is true. Give him chances in the box and he'll score but he'll contribute fuck all apart from that. Get rid. now.

"2 Christian Roberts...there's only 2 Christian Roberts."The one that played v Forest and Oldham(putting himself about,chasing lost causes,frightening defenders etc.)and the one who played last night with his couldn't fucking care less head on.

at least he doesnt flounce off after being subbed for a well under par performance?

Nothing gets to me more than players that dont try.

Say for example Rory has a bad game, we know he has just been unlucky and we cant fault his effort and we'll cheer him off at the end

Roberts and Thorpe looked like they wanted to be anywhere else in the world

So do I, they're both absolutely proven at this level, we just need a functioning midfield to thread the balls through. Pook's getting better with each game if you ask me, Whalley has shown glimpses. I'm still giving them both (Thorpe & Cureton) a chance.
