The Merse Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Absolute joke footballer. How can he continue to get a game!? Thought Robbie had finally learnt last week but nope the untouchable was back to his best today. Possibly one of the worst first touches I've ever seen from what is meant to be a ball playing midfielder. No wonder he's not been able to nail down a good run with a club in years.

RudiHMFC Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 He's one of them when you think to yourself, what does he add to the team? If he doesn't make an error then folk say he's had a good game, i think the fact he's not been fully fit has hindered him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf's Mate Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Whilst I don't agree with the OP's points I do think Buaben does the hard part easy and the easy part hard. I've lost count of the amount of times he beats a player or two only to then get caught in possession, pass to them or put the ball out of play. Most of us know there's a player in there but I'm not sure we're ever going to see him again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfstar Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Had some moments of very good passes and 1-2s with gomis and made good tackles. Also had some shocking passes and moments of 'what are you doing'. Overall central midfield done okay today, just wish we had some goals from this area Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All roads lead to Gorgie Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Bauben frustrates me in the way he tries to turn on the ball and look for support most times instead of going at the space in front of him as attacking midfielders should do when defenders are backing off. He did have a couple of runs today but not enough and maybe Swanson needs to start in Bauben's position as we are letting teams regroup in defence as our build up is stuttering too much in centre midfield where Prince is the chief culprit in taking the momentum out of moves.

RobNox Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 He should have been hooked instead of Sow. Did some good things today, but too often dwells too long on the ball and ends up giving it away in dangerous positions. He may not yet be 100% fit, all the more reason to have replaced him in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 All 3 of our main central midfielders think their job is done when we have the ball in the opposition half and they can pass the ball sideways to Nicholson or Walker. Where are the forward passes that Fulton used to make? Or the forward runs past the strikers like Mickey Cameron. Opposition midfielders must love playing against these guys when they are never forced to go back into their own penalty box. My guess is that we could get far more out of our attacking players with someone more positive in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost in space Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Gomis was poor today but can forgive that performance due to his workload and you can see hoe much the game means to him. I have heard the " not fully fit" nonsense for Bauben and the "plays well with Gomis" nonsense. How long is it going to take for some on here to realise that he is as good as a plank of wood? For the thick - tell me when he had a good game? This season - NONE. NOT ONE!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf's Mate Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I think some of the criticism directed his way has been overly harsh, but he was pretty rank today. I also thought he was bad today however it wasn't as bad as he has been. That's not good enough though and I just hope Robbie was holding off to see if him having Gomis alongside him would see an improvement. It didn't see one which was acceptable and Swanson deserves to get a shot. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Times do change. What hasnt changed is Gomis' s commitment. He can have a poor game - like today but puts in the dffort.Bauben is lazy - and ineffectual - and poor passer -and poor tackler - never makes defense splitting pass - never scores. Is not box to box - as you have to be able to break into a run. Can any of the "Prince fans" tell me when they last saw him have a "man of the match"? - no, didnt think so. What about a good game then? No hasnt happened...... okay anything specific at all then since he was given the stupid contract he is on................no...........nothing specific..............

Tony Soprano Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Maybe the OP was a little over the top but i do agree that buaben needs dropped. Ok, he wasnt exactly the worst player on the pitch today but i have no idea why he is starting over pallardo. If it is that neilson wanted one sitting CM and the other attacking then no doubt about it, swanson should have started in his place. Having missed parkhead last week due to being on holiday, i havent had the chance to see the new guy in action. If the management team have decided the guy is good enough (his cv certainly seems that way) then why did we not give him a chance? Really just seems odd continuing with a player who has really not had a very good start to the season, especially when we have 3 other players more than good enough to take his place. I think buaben needs dropped for a couple games and be made to work to prove he is still capable of starting for us, and i hope he does get back to his best.

Generic Username Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I'll repeat myself here; He's quite blatantly not fit/playing within himself as a result of the injuries he picked up last year and within the close season but now we have the options we do in midfield he needs to hold his hands up, admit he isn't fit enough to start/play for 90 minutes and give other players a shot at game time. Part of that is down to him telling Robbie he's fine and part of it is down to Robbie not wanting to hook him/having faith in him and Gomis as a partnership. He wasn't dreadful today but should never have played the full 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
