I wouldn’t have even had him in the bottom 5 shit players from tonight. That’s not to say he wasn’t shit. They all were bar Allen and Fletcher looked fine when he came on tbh. A real bad night. I take it by fletcher not even touching the ball means he didn't cock up, so that is fine He won everything in the air that came his way I thought and had our first actual attempt on goal.

That puts to bed him being the difference. Or some kind of saviour. Never seen a more disinterested and absolutely dismal performance in my life. Not the player you want in the trenches. How he didn't get dragged at half time I'll never know. He should be fucking ashamed. What a useless "I think I'm better than everyone else" tosser. Wank. Wow. I've read some shit on here, but this could top the lot.

There were 2 players worse than Powell Campbell and wilmot And how can he be one of the best players in the league when he doesn’t even play in half of them Maja was fucking atrocious for a start. Tymon had a stinker. Baker might as well not have been on for 93 minutes. JPB hid. Bellis looked scared. All played worse than Powell imo. I suppose it’s really hard defining shit and shit. Would agree the ones you mentioned were shit but Powell was also

I think people are just realising he probably won't play premier League football in his career. He isn't the difference at all, he's basically the continuity.

so not on the fact that the defence was awful It was but then he’s signed 3/4 of them and is playing a couple of them out of position. The Wilmot at right back thing is surely over now, he’s had one good game there and several pretty dodgy ones. Who for though? MON was stupid enough not to sign any fullbacks in Jan when it was painfully obvious we needed at least two.

Had a poor game but he’s one of the very few players that has showed up most games the past 3 seasons.
Think he deserves criticism for the performance but this thread is a bit over the top!

Powell was shit. Everyone was shit apart from Joe Allen.
The key to success is good players keeping fit and playing together regularly. We've used 32 players this season.

Wrong. Powell worst player on the pitch. Fact, not opinion. 😂😂😂I love it when you have these breakdowns. I love it how you live your life on here, and still 99% of people on here think you're a fucking idiot. One lap of the track. You're making the absolute maximum out of yours flower 😘😂

We're back to square one again though aren't we? Playing him left side of centre means you are always risking him being kicked and punched out of games, in amongst the good games.
Powell has always, and I mean ALWAYS been best when he's played centrally, close to the striker and allowed a free role.
Tonight it would have given Luton's two ball winners something to think about and would have given some much needed support for poor Maja.
It's a frustration with this manager that he has to shoe horn players into a system whether it's good for the player or team or not, and once he's wedded to it there is seemingly no willingness to change it unless he's completely forced to OR he's been on a post season piss up in the lakes.

I'm not against Smith playing there, Wilmot should never have been an option, I just hope Tymon isn't too badly injured. Might be time to finally give Coates a go.

He’s the difference to us in that our entire creative threat hinges on him. Yes and what creative threat that is.... I agree we would be worse off without him, but I don't think we would be significantly worse. We would end up mid table again anyway just as we have with him season after season. Therefore, I don't understand the splurge surrounding him. He is far too inconsistent and his goals return is absolutely nothing to shout about. His form is consistently sporadic, thus he's probably not good enough to help us get promoted. We need a squad of exceptional players to get promoted, And I don't think we are capable of recruiting that squad nor utilising them properly (as O'niell is now demonstrating with at many players with apparent potential). Bellis' loan is an absolute disaster. I don't think JPB will reflect all that glowingly on winning 1 game in what may well be the next 10 games (given our consistent inability to win, 2 in 11, 1 win at home in 4 months....). This is pretty embarrassing either way. Powell isn't the problem but the team is nowhere near good enough for promotion with the current manager. Next season is just as likely to be a disaster than a success, but most likely just another mid table shite.

I don't think they are. I think people are just realising he probably won't play premier League football in his career. He isn't the difference at all, he's basically the continuity. I think that’s a fair assessment. He’s often pretty good but will a team like Fulham be beating down our door in the summer for him as a reasonably priced option to take with them to the next level? - probably not. Says it all about his career really.

It was at least three, which I suspect might be more than Maja managed in 85. To be fair to Maja, our midfield barely got the ball that far up the field in the first 85 minutes.

Defend his performance then. I'll wait. Fine first half and looked like one of the only ones who would do anything. Got sloppy second half and did play some bad passes but wouldn’t say there was any lack of effort there. The ‘football’ we played in the second half would see anyone struggle to make anything happen.

Next season is just as likely to be a disaster than a success, but most likely just another mid table shite. He is generally consistent though, if you look at his contribution over the last couple of seasons. Who are you comparing him to, exactly, in his position? For a bloke who doesn’t play as an out and out striker his goal return is entirely respectable, 14th in the division last year and nearly 1 in 2 this season before he broke his leg.
