Elphick SURELY told his marker to stop??

[BensGrandad]

Have just seen the goals on SSN and may have been a little harsh on Kuipers as the ball was played to the edge of the 6 yd box and Doherty should have been beaten to the ball by Elphick.

What I done understand is the flack our players get. OK Elphick should have marked him but how many times do big defenders do this even at prem level?(Turner, Dunne etc)... all the time.

If you watch our corners Elphick/Virgo often win clear headers but just aren't converting them.

Frankly every team is going to make two or three errors a game, it just seems we are being punished every time so far.

Questions have to be asked about a keeper that doesn't dominate his 6-yard box

Not always will the keeper be expected to claim. In this instance, Elphick was more to blame.

But as I said, these situations are going to occur every game.

We just happened to miss an open goal (Murray's chance), a header cleared off the line (Murray's header) and we also missed a free header from one of our corners.

We aren't playing badly, just seems everything is against us.

Tommy Elphick is a vile free loading rich kid,that only plays league football because is very rich parents know the right people.That is 100% fact.Im sick of all the Elphick & El-abd PR crap that comes out the club,and the Argus almost every week.The sad fact is both these very poor players have been part of the same defence that has had the club almost bottom of the division for two seasons or more now.Plus in all these years not one other league club has come in for these players,not even when out of contract.

 

[never wrong dave]

Please lets not forget what Livermore said when he left.These players are on very big money.Most other clubs would not pay them 50% of what they are on at the Albion.These vile rich kid free loaders could be playing div4 football next season on championship money.

Calderon was badly at fault for the equalizer I thought. He's great going forward but just seems afraid to go in for the tackle, always backing off.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Elphick should have been marking Doherty. He powered past him like he wasn't there for a completely unchallenged header. Elphick has cost us more games than I care to remember this season. I can't understand why he is still in the side. He makes at least three serious errors each game. Top defenders don't do that.

Very weak attempt at a block - and not for the first time is he found wanting in his defensive duties.

I would guess that Gus will bring in either El-Abd or Hoyte at RB next week. May put Hoyte at RB and El-Abd instead of Elphick.

I would like to see Painter in the middle.

Virgo and Elphick make mistakes that lead directly to us conceeding (and losing points), yet Tunnicliffe is the one that gets dropped and shipped out on loan...

Oh go on Dave, say what you really think.

 

[Blackadder]

Elphick has been our best defender for the vast majority of this season.

I think Virgo is better at the moment!

The same rich parents didnt help his brother Gary.

Top defenders dont play for League two clubs either. There is a reason why they play for us and that is that they are, generally speaking, not good enough to play at a higher level.

If Carole could take on and beat full backs for fun, shoot on target from 25 yards every time, and track back to defend when we lost the ball, he would be playing in the premiership, not for us!

who, on here, was most peoples man of the match yesterday?

who, on here, has been regarded as one of our most consistent performers over the last 5 games?

how many goals has our defence shipped in the league since Virgo went to centreback with Elphick?

how many goals did Tunnicliffe's side concede yesterday?

(out of interest, what was Virgo's mistake that 'lead directly to us conceding'?)
