I'll have to disagree with you Gid. I think it was o'dour in the first goal just let him shoot. Turned his back like a f**kn girl. The second goal he was sat on his arse down the flank.

Im voting felipe.

I refuse to watch a replay of the game, but I thought the 'in game' replay proved it wasn't O'Dor who turned his back.

How's my driving? - Whine here

Someone voted for O'dor!? Two lapses = two goals. No one gets MOM for that.
 
I'll echo what Spam said above. Dodd was like the Energiser bunny, just kept going and going and going. Rees was good too, and Daniel really lifted the tempo late on.
 
First goal I don't think was O'dor's fault looking at the replay (Brown out there failing to cover?). 2nd and 3rd definitely were -  the result of poor marking and lack of concentration.

i thought it was brown who turned his back for the first goal, odor had gone in to cover the guy coming down the middle and left hernandez open.
dodd for me, sadly because he looked like our most attacking player

I wouldn't blame O'dor as much as you guys are. As the commentators said, he was left abandoned too many times.
 
I think the rose tinted glass on Dodd have to be taken off. His best play was when he scampered down the left wing. Trouble was, no one supported him. But at the back week after week he is progressively getting worse. Caught out far too often. his heading ability is his saving grace but too many of them are finding opposition players. Sorry but Dodd started off really well and now is giving average performances which some thing are brilliant. If I was Ricki, I'd be looking to bring in four Central Defenders in the close season and releasing three. Keeping Rees would be the better move. But Dodd, O'dor & Old make our live's just far too hard!
 
I voted Ferrante for his long range shots - at least someone had the balls to try shooting.
 
It's a sad day when I have to agree with Robbie Slater but I thought he summed it up quite well.

Dodd. Only one with a bit of fight.
 
Ferrante and Daniel were decent too. Rest were rubbish.

At long last someone sees Dodd for what he is.I said at the start of the season that he was the week link. He is the worst defender in the league

Well that 1st half has got to be our worst of the season.

Ferrante edges it for me.

I'm fairly sure that big girl concerned was Tim Brown on that one, Dunc.

No argument about him f**king up for the 2nd goal tho'

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Dodd has potential but I think he is highly over-rated by my fellow faithful. If his level is considered great, we are in for a long long difficult existence. Maybe the nix  should check out Clarke Carlisle or Danny sh*ttu. They would be good at this level. Both at Watford, Carlisle isn't getting the games this season but he's a good CD, just keep him away from the booze.

I thought Dodd was ok, maybe we're just thinking hes great because compared to the rest of our defence (apart from Rees) he is? Being fair, id say he isnt as great as we say he is, but he certainly isnt bad,so...average i guess.

Dodd is a good player, he's the best defender we have - might not be the best in the league but he's my player of the season. He does his job consistently and well.
 
Sure you could say Daniel or Felipe or even Ferrante for the one night of season that he had his shooting boots on but got pick pocketed all night long.
 
Brown and Elrich were our worst players last night , O'dor got exposed by Lia not helping out ( It was really obvious that Lochhead was missed!) , poor guy gets left for dead with 3 guys on him.
 
Lia did much better on the right when Elrich went off ( thank god, its now getting painful to watch him - however when he passes from the middle or lobs balls from the middle of the park he seems to play better???) His work rate is not good but it would be interesting to try him as a an attacking midfielder , also his wonder goal was scored from the middle of the park too.) ..........Or i could just say "Bring on Bertos!!"

I voted for Ferrante, just ahead of Dodd and maybe Rees. Rest were pretty disappointing, to say the least.

Am I reading this right? Nobody telling me how great Moss was this week, he hasnt got 1 vote yet. Surely none of the goals were his fault so why hasnt he got lots of votes yet?

I'm beginning to like Archie. 110% effort every game, great skills has a sense of humour too and knows when to laugh - eg after that horrendous shot! I think he'd make a good foil along side Smeltz.
 
please don't ban me HN!

don't understand all of the dodd bashing, brown and elrich bashing is justified but dodd hasn't done anything warranting being labelled the worst defender in the league and the 'weak link'. wtf?!
brown should have shut down hernandez, instead he walked towards him and gave him time to shoot. he shouldve and couldve put much more pressure on him and then he turned and jumped like he was scared.
elrich should get paid less.
