Royal Lady Knocking one of your own players on the first game of a season, where we picked up a point that certainly I didn't expect, is pretty sad if you ask me.
Who mentioned booing?Rawlie19 Seal wasn't booed today from what I could hear. And groaning isn't the same as booing you know. People might have let out a groan everytime he did something wrong, or didn't do something he should have, but I thnk we're quite in our rights to do that. Don't remember any booing.
leonRoyal Rotherrabidbee What's the point? I've already written about the positive contributions of Seol today on a different thread. It's overlooked, it was overlooked last year, it will continue to be overlooked this year, and it is clearly Seol's fault that Coppell is incapable of seeing how bad a player he is. (Ffs, blame Coppell, not Seol!)
Funny how much more involved in United attacks Wes Brown (marker: Stephen Hunt) was than Mickael Silvestre ("marker": Seol... or possibly Seal...).
The wide angle picture illustrates perfectly how ridiulous it is to compare Seol's contribution favourably with that of the ever energetic and selfless Hunt.BenReadingFCPieEater Reading park a blue and white bus in their goalmouth
I must have taken this pic about a split second in difference to the pic on the BBC Sport website.
You can see the BBC photographer who took that shot in my pic.
errmm no not really.
What that says to me is that Seol was the man supporting Doyle ready to receive the out ball from defence. The idea being that when we cleared our lines we would hit Seol (most probably a longish ball at that afterall he is 6.3 or something )
No point in having everyone bar Doyle behind the ball.
But then I suspect you know that already.
WyW_URZrabidbeeWyW_URZ I too thought Seol would be better this season. He looked off the pace today, his booking was needless, if he had reacted quicker he wouldn't have ever needed to make the challenge.
Crap.
Funny how Rooney didn't get a booking for a worse challenge on Dela earlier in the match.
Thanks for being constructive!!
He was dozing, the ball came towards him, he lost out, and lashed out a bit and commited a foul. Not saying it was a yellow card offence, just the foul was easily avoidable.
Royalee Yes that's right, why bother to mark Cristiano Ronaldo when you can pretend to be supporting Doyle.
If you have nothing else to offer than the usual Coppell accolyte rubbish please don't bother entering the discussion.Schards#2 A year after signing him and after a year of working with him day in, day out, Coppell is still picking Seol.
But i'm sure you all know better than Coppell and he deserves to be dropped.

It wasn't Seol's job to be marking Ronaldo, so you can't really blame him for not doing it. Why isn't one of: Murty, Duberry, De La Cruz marking Giggs?
Doesn't matter because they got away with it but it's hardly fair to pick out Seol for criticism based on that photo and the apparent 'failings' of others.

In the same way that i'm prepared to back Coppell and Morinhio's judgement rather than Woodcote Royal's over Sidwell, I'm prepared to back Coppell's judgement over whingers like you over Seol.
Morhinio and Coppell's credentials speak for themselves, Woodcote's is that Hughes is better than Shorey and yours is that you're officially bored of watching Leroy Lita.

It was just a convenient illustration of the different attitudes that could be seen during the entire 60+ minutes Seol was on the pitch - not meant for wholesale analysis.
Probably, yes. But as we didn't have another signing, maybe because Convey is on his way back - then I am asking RR who he would have played in place of Seol yesterday. As, effectively, Coppell had no other choice, whether through his own lack of bothering to get a player, or no player wanting to join us, so, bearing that in mind, he had no option but to play Seol and give him a job in man marking. I get frustrated with Seol as much as the next person, but he had some good play and as I mentioned earlier, he can turn a game around when he shows a flash of his brilliance. It's like moaning we shouldn't have put Doyle up front because he didn't score!papereyesRoyal Lady OK then. So you're Coppell, you have Little out - who would you have put there to start the game in place of Seol and why?
Given Little's recent injury problems, wouldn't signing a more comabtive right midfielder have been a plan during the summer, so that a plan B does exist?

Royal Rother Look, I am happy to give my opinions on what I see at the time, if that changes then sobeit. I would never get on someone's back after 1 or 2 indifferent performances, but week after week and yes, I'll speak my mind rather than falling back on the fact that Coppell cannot possibly do wrong because he does most things right.
He himself admits he makes mistakes, I just occasionally highlight those he doesn't see for himself... It's up to him when he chooses to act. IIRC he acted pretty quickly with Lita by dropping him, then brought him back a far better player.
