Wycombe Wanderers v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Legion]

Also, where's the actual match thread?

Match threads forum.

I'm sure it wasn't there a second ago!

It may have been temporarily hidden by somebody by accident.

But was swiftly put in the right place.

OOPS! Sorry. I was in a bit of a rush.

i notice how the BBC website report how;
"Villa held by Div 2 Wycombe" (negative)
Whereas:
"Liverpool fight back to deny Exeter" (positive)

One game was played by an almost full strength side and the other was played almost entirely by young players who will never get a look in.

[CT Villan]

I think he took Gil off because he was displeased that Carles didn't go for Richards return pass behind their defence. Simple as that.

That was my guess too, but...firstly, that's very petty and secondly, there's a possibility that Gil would have run off-side because Richards, for some inexplicable reason, decided to take a leisurely stroll to the ball before playing the pass.

Keeps picking the same players we already know are failures. We look every bit as shambolic as at any time during this season.

Who would you be picking ?

I was also thinking who the alternatives are.

Who would you be picking ?

Kozak could replace Gestede
Traore could have been tried instead of Sinclair
Richards could have played right back at any time
Okore should have had more game time at CB
U21 players?
Gary Gardner? Worse than Westwood? You reckon? Ask Forest fans what they think.
Lyden? Couple of minutes at the end of a turgid cup game? Waste of time.

There are things he could have done different.

I would have given Kozak a go by now. I would have played Hepburn-Murphy to see what he has. I might have given Kinsella a look. There isn't much but there are some players who seem to get picked however poorly they are playing. Certainly through the middle where the current option isn't an option at all.

[sirlordbaltimore]

Ask yourself how shit Kozak must be in training day in day out to not get a look in. I never rated him before his injury personally, but he must be bloody useless in the week to not get a chance ahead of Gestede, who is fast becoming the worst player i've ever seen in the shirt

As to the poster who is trying to infer media bias about the headlines after the Liverpool/Exeter and Villa/Wycombe games- it's all down to the timing of the goals. Liverpool fought bacjpk from behind twice. We let a lead slip.
Hence different headlines.. Simple as.

How about trying to get Jack some momentum.. we're already down.

Traore is injured and Gardner is back on loan at Forest.

Which happened in the last few days. Explain the previous few months of non selection.

The Dippers went behind twice and came back to equalise; that is fighting back. Aston Villa led once and let Wycombe, Div 4 Wycombe, equalise. I have no problem with the BBC's phrasing in either case.
