Kangas gameday thread

Bevan gave up 3 goals with terrible play. There is no sugar coating that. Yes he may have been defensively good and I for one will never question his commitment but he gives up too many goals through errors that a Senior footballer should not make.

He bleeds goals with his errors.

Your view on Crouch said it all.

[Plugger46]

Yep - he is a fantastic set shot at goal. Eats pressure for breakfast.

People who bag Jude have absolutely no idea about footy.

Well done to Crouch too, he played a ripper.

Playing good footy and for the seond year in a row. Eating pressure for breakfast might be a bit over the top though - the first quarter of the 2006 GF springs to mind.

By keeping your man quiet, breaking lines, not giving away reckless free kicks, not constantly stuffing up and proving drive forward is not playing well?

By playing as a 31 year old, with injuries and basically being a tagger whilst taking the spot that should be given to a youngster to enable him to play for his contract is not playing well. When he played injured and kept a kid out of the team he lost my respect. Can't be gone quick enough.

How much drive forward can you provide from 8 touches? Everyone is mesmerized by 1 good passage of play where crouch sprinted through the corridor and kicked it long. Besides that he didnt do much all day

Lets be fair 8 touches is an improvement on 4. He is a player for the future. At this rate he will hit his straps at the age of 42.

He had 3 Inside 50s.

He also used the corridor and didn't look backwards as his first option, something very unusual for us!

Different issue. He played well on Sunday regardless of anything that happened previously.

Bevan on the other hand, whilst going hard at it, is a hack. He attacks the ball better than most, just is totally useless at everything else.

Don't forget the passage of play near the end of the 2nd half, where he was in a one-on-one with his opponent (sorry can't remember who) and managed to win the contest cleanly and set up Jude for that very crucial goal.

Be honest, your vendetta against Crouch started well before his infamous game playing injured.

You mean the kanga kid who had just twisted his ankle and couldn't run. The power of George's prayer again.

True. He should never been offered another contract. And neither should Leo. Nothing personal. Just that there are kids who haven't had much of a chance to show their wares. But Crouch playing injured and stopping a kid from having a go was unforgivable. He should be retiring this week.
