We put away a good lower league team today and it could have easily ended up a Spurs replay affair granted if our attitude was a little off. However, there was nothing in the performance for me, to suggest we are improving on a few weeks ago or that players appear to be understanding each other better if that is indeed the problem.
We look at present to have reached a team plateau and I don't honestly know if we have the ability to punch through it and move up a tier.
Talking of Carroll BL -I watched the game on Star with Steve McMahon saying that Carroll spends far too much time fighting with defenders and the referee, when he should be looking at getting blind side and dropping off if he needs to. I find it incredible that he would need telling any of this or that if the coaching staff have told him why he isn't listening.

But maybe the coaching staff are asking him to be mixing it with the defenders to create space for others in the team, I'm guessing he is not going out of his way to go against what he is told to do by the coaching staff or he wouldn't be getting a run of games.

I was at the game yesterday and it was a good team performance with two very big exceptions, Henderson and Carroll, they ae both utterly sh1te football players and need to be got rid of asap.
Yes I know Carrol got the goal but the amount of times he wasn't where he should be because he was jogging around or looking the wrong way was ridiculous. The less said about Henderson the better, suffice to say that he is terrible and that I have zero idea what Kenny sees in him.
For me MOTM were Suarez and Downing.

Good call highroller. You clearly know your stuff.......Unlike the buffoons who think carroll is showing his worth and henderson has great potential.
May your stay be welcome.

May your stay be welcome. Carroll got man of the match. That was voted for by thousands of viewers watching the match. You disagree that he had a good game despite this, yet I and many others who think he had a good game are buffoons? Just because we see things differently to how you see it?

swap hendo for maclean, from sunderland in the summer,
comolli, got his stats wrong and kd fcuked up with signing hendo for that massive fee.
if hendo was signed for 7/8m, plus add on's, then fair enuff.
carroll i believe will show his true quality, wen he has 2 quality wingers providing quality crosses for him.

Actually don't know where to begin with that one, tbh.
