I thought that in the first half Sinclair did alright and looked to be getting some headway down the flank but in the second half we just never gave him the ball. He certainly worked a lot harder than he has recently.
Koumas on the other hand, had the ‘pleasure’ of sitting behind the dugout for a change tonight and he wasn’t interested in sitting in the dugout and just trotted down the tunnel after Jonesy had a word in his ear. Whoever was sat behind me certainly wasn’t Jason’s biggest fan. Saying that, he has had more chances than anyone to make his mark but he’s clearly happy to sit and take the wage, turning down Cardiff again says as much.
Gomez and Scotland just can’t cut it at this level. One can’t finish and needs to leave the club for his own state of mind (why did we turn Barnsley’s bid down?) and the other makes half-arsed tackles, slows the game to a standstill and then passes it back to the back 4 to ‘build’ again. I don’t think Scharner should go without criticism either, he’s been a joke the last few weeks. Surely his ego has took a battering at still being with us.
