Snowflake Royal Hound The effort was there but we have no quality. Azeez showed flashes but he was inexplicably on the bench
Thought Hunt got it very wrong. Poor team selection, Hoilett and Long both absolute passengers. Had flashes in the second half but obvs conceded just as it looked like we might grab the lead
Subs were poor (should have brought Hoilett off a lot earlier, and Mbengue for NGW? Bizarre)
Hendrick sums this side up. Works hard, runs around, clearly cares but is just not up to standard
Fornah was exceptionally bad wben be came on.
Deserve to go down to be fair. That’s our level
Hendrick was absolutely dreadful. When he wasn't hiding at RW to avoid his midfield responsibility he was second to every ball in behind, passing out of play and blazing into orbit. Absolute arseclown.
NGW was making quite a few mistakes before coming off, and may have been one of those not tracking for the goal so I get that.
Azeez looked poor with the odd flash. Hoilett obviously wasn't fit. Casadei tried, we gave Joao almost nothing. Yiadom put a huge shift in. Sarr and Holmes were ok but so often given absolutely zero option to pass out. Lumley did fairly well.
That cross from Fornah.
The Toms looked bereft at the end.
NGW’s crossing and long throws looked our best route to score - and we were 1 down
Hendrick was absolutely all over the place and not in a good way. He seemed to be centre forward half the time. Like some over enthusiastic u10 player. I really won’t miss him despite having respect for his effort etc
Thought Azeez did pretty well considering the situation and being shifted about. Almost scored a nice goal, decent cross for Casadei at the end as well.
I like Casadei but stuff just doesn’t seem to come off for him very often. He’ll be a good player though
Correct on yiadom, he had a good day
