Not a slight at big Kasper but players get stale sitting on the bench week in, week out, the passing around our six yard box gives me the heebie jeebies at times and we give teams the opportunity to hurt us in when we keep doing thatI don't think Kasper has done much wrong so far this season. But I do think Sinisalo can do as well as him.
I understand Scales is not the most gifted player and he does have the odd brainfart. But at least he tries things to make a mistake. Nearly every other player simply lays off the ball backwards or sideways. CCV looks a shadow of the player he was 2 seasons ago.
Hatate has been poor too often this calendar year. He still has the ability to make a killer pass but the vast majority of his play has plummeted in quality. He would look world class in a YouTube highlights reel, but he is struggling.
Calmac is simply not able to dominate the way he did a couple of years ago. That is simply the ageing process finally catching up on him. But he is still a massive player for us so we should use him smarter and not expect him to belt about the pitch for 100 minutes every game 55 - 60 times every season like he has done for the last dozen years.
I don't believe these players have become poor. They are struggling for whatever reason so they need to rediscover their mojos to play as well as we know they can. Maybe it is injuries, age, fed up of the fitba they play week in week out, unhappiness with the system, personal issues or whatever.
But too many players have dropped off in form at the same time. They can still turn it on at times and play wonderful football so we know it is still in them. We can reinvigorate them but a clearly hacked off manager who is publicly being humiliated by his employers appears to not be the person able to do this.
it is sad and totally self-harming situation we are in, but we can still turn it round and have an exciting season. HH
One play had me saying wtf ? When Kasper came about ten yards out of his box as the ball was clipped in but big Liam got to it before the Hun player
