Your MOTM today?

[SanguinePar]

Bene got it officially of course, but I thought Otoo was outstanding today, definitely my pick for MOTM.

Honourable mentions to Ngwenya and Comrie, and McCann had some really good moments, along with a few ropey ones! Also, Tobi did well, not much to do, but a fantastic save in the first half and some solid cross collection in the second.

Comrie hasn't played that well for a long time, great to see.

[Piracy]

Comrie for me.

[Deutsch Par]

McCann gets my vote.

[Raymie]

Our best players were in defence. Bene, Comrie, Tobi and Otoo 

the manager said Todd was the best player on the pitch. 🤷 

I must have been at a different game ?

Otoo gave away the ball a lot for me, he’s a centre mid and we need him in there. Makes absolutely no sense playing him CB when we’ve got 2 sat on the bench

I'd love to hear the managers reasoning for that.

So would I. Having your best CM out of position is crazy to me 

[kelty_par]

Mcpake not happy with the reaction to Kane substitution. On the face of it, taking your best striker off at 0-0 in a must win game maybe wasn’t the best move.  Said it was down to lack of training etc but I thought Mebude was harshly dropped today

[Salvo Montalbano]

Comrie for me. Three or four vital interceptions and also got forward to good effect several times.

[Eastendtales]

Comrie followed by Bene. Both were really good. McCann scored but his general play is abysmal for a professional footballer.

[da_no_1]

McCann is a bit erratic but I'd definitely stop well short of saying he's abysmal.

He'll just be trying to give him a public vote of confidence, truthfully Todd hasn't got firing at all this season. Has been poor. 

 

Comrie was MOTM for me in what was a poor team performance.

That's it he's frustrating. Only because we know hes better. The irony is his goal today was an awful first touch and a fluke from a slip.

He's played way better in 20 games without a goal. 2 in 2 thats all I can ask. Keep proving me wrong and I'm happy.

First half was everything that is frustrating with him. Lack of awareness, balls bouncing off him, no threat, breaking down our own attacks. 

2nd half was better, out couple decent balls into the box and scored the winner. I'll change my mind if he keeps on scoring goals but he's had long enough that we can't afford him as a passenger in the team.
