Rousseau 10,640 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 2 hours ago, buster. said: This team is mentally fragile and neither Murphy or Windass are the type of players who have the specific qualities to help such a team dig their way out of such a problem. When a team is in such a place, it needs the likes of a Ross McCrorie to stand-up in midfield and help lift the team. In other words, we need to prioritise signing a couple of players who can provide leadership. I don't disagree. I just don't see that need to roll out the same old scapegoat. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windass went missing again and Murphy was essentially - along with Candeias - asked to do his job as well. Hence he ventured inside more often than what his job was in recent games. All Windass did today after coming on was placing his hip into Holt's shot. After that he was missing again, not least when Murphy (SIC!) was going central again, dancing himself free on the right (sic!) side of the area and placing an inviting cross right in front of goals ... put Windass was no-where in sight. If only we had left Cummings on the field! So yes, when talking about Murphy's impact, other players will come into play as well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, Murphy was poor because Windass was playing, despite only coming on for 20 minutes? Not for me. Windass' arse did more than Murphy did today. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Murphy being poor, well, it is all about opinions. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 15,294 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I'm not a huge fan of Murphy but thought he had a decent game today. He reminds me a wee bit of Ted McMinn. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, it was an important event in the game....that one little thing that Windass did, resulted in a goal. As for Cummings....for me he was as non-existent as Windass, if not more so.

I wonder whether it makes your day trolling me and why folk like craig don't slap you for that. The above is pure goading, only looking for a reaction and rather poor indeed. So there, I did it, enjoy it. You have my pity. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cummings, sent through on goal twice, could have had two and would have broken his neck to go central when Murphy went wide. he was working their defence and drew them wide to open spaces for Holt and Tav to run into. Holt's shot was net-bound too ... from what I saw. Edited May 13, 2018 by der Berliner 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only moderator now, or is it that you just want to make me look like the only moderator who lets things go ? It is mildly amusing that you complain about someone trolling you.... by trolling me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
