We do have quite a few brain-dead players don’t we!

can’t wait to see the back of Morgan, Lavelle, innis and a few others…
Once again, a huge clear out in the summer needed- Sandgaard out as well too please 

so bored of watching this utter crap team, in this utterly wank league!

replay against Stockport, no doubt fielding a team of under 21s again, boring boring Charlton! 

Morgan was our best player for fuck's sake. Were you even watching? And what did Inniss do wrong? 

morgan just a football mercenary, nothing more than a cup game team player- and someone who has never kicked on in the multiple chances given…

Morgan a "football mercenary" ....... ?

Do you even understand what that means?
How you can apply that term to a youth product that has spent all his career at one club, is beyond me.

More to the fact that he’s never improved himself/ability/consistency despite playing under 5 managers- all of which have seemingly kept him at the fringe of the squad! 

Perhaps mercenary was the wrong term, but still, a player who adds nothing to the team but somehow finds himself still able to put in so little very often

Morgan always busts a gut and always tries to make passes that other players shirk. 

He ends up put of position often due to covering others and his passes usually don't make it to their target because the target doesn't either come to the pass or run on beyond the defence. 

Of course he has some shite passes in him. And when they're bad it's undeniable, but how about we don't shit on players off the back of good and bad performances... 

Bad I understand but off the back of good ones is just weird. ...{meaning unique}...

Agreed that you can question his commitment during the games, but he’s no better than a semedo type player.

When’s the replay?

The live scores app is saying it’s on Tuesday (29th). Feels very soon, but not sure if things are a bit weird due to the World Cup

I think we all agree that Morgan often promises more than people believe he achieves.

But the coaching staff do rate his ability on the ball.
His glaring weakness has been defensive tracking, where in the past managers have expressed their frustration when he's lost his man -  which proved costly to the team.

This season, one thing we must give Morgan credit for is much improved workrate and desire to track back.
Couple that with his ability on the ball and increased awareness .... we're seeing a young player that's gradually improving but still some way from the finished article.

IMO he's put in some very decent performances this season but still lacking consistancy to prove 100% dependable.
That's typical of most Third Division players - otherwise wouldn't they be playing at a higher level?

Feel again I have to question BG decision making .. it’s clear he don’t fancy Kanu or why would we play the last 20 odd mins with no striker . we really struggle in the 433 formation especially when they changed to 5 in mid ..

Only good thing is we are still in the cup and see who we get to see if it’s worth sending strong team , but reply is not what we wanted although it does take up Stockley banned game .

You could say it’s HT , but it’s going to be great atmosphere up there and most likey live on TV

Pretty much our strongest team, at home, v a team in the non league last season. Brilliant!

Whatever the performance, it's not "Pretty much our strongest team" with 9 players missing.

I think the point was that was the best team we have got (available), which is a problem isn't it.

Fair enough, but best team we have available with 9 players missing is nevertheless, still a long way from our best/strongest team, surely?

What’s Garner up to ?

2nd half we were down to hitting them on the break. 

We ended up with CBT, DJ and Campbell up front. All of whom are as likely to hit the corner flag as hitting the back of the net. 

A kid who scored 40 plus goals last year sat on the bench. 

Don’t understand

It was a bit dicey between when Aneke went off and DJ came on, but I thought DJ did well, held it up and released it well a couple of times. That wasn't the problem. The problem was we had to bring on the flimsiest left back of all time, and play Lavelle for 90

And all of our chances in the second half came from breaks - we win the ball quick transfer forwards and running in behind them- we weren’t looking for a front man to hold the ball up we just needed someone who could get into the box and score, and he was sitting in the bench. To be honest we could well have been 3-1 or 4-1 up by the time they scored their second. 

Surely the replay can't be at the same time as the Wales match

I admit I didn't see the game, so can't comment on Chin's performance, but was he that bad? I'm getting concerned that playing him often and out of position may be harmful to the lad's development now, not that we're blessed with options in that position at the moment.

Who plays LB for the under whatevers and wouldn't it make more sense to try them or bring in a free agent? If what you say is true, they couldn't be worse.

The reply should be on 6th/7th December which would not clase  with any England games.

 Chin is a right footed midfielder. Unfortunately he isn’t very tall. As soon as he came on Stockport started raining high balls in his direction which were easily won by this much taller opponent.
