Come on Waz there was only 3 short paragraphs, with only one simple question. It’s a stretch of the truth even by your standards to say it was difficult to respond to.
Your Rico comment typifies the kinds of things I have read directed across social media. Comments made by our own ‘fans’ that are completely over the top, directed at our own players, usually immediately after a defeat. There’s nothing wrong with acknowledging when players have poor games, but giving him zero and suggesting he should leave? That’s just a strop mate. And yes, it does affect players and their families to read crap like that. I reserve my right to call you out on it.
It’s my firm opinion that Rico has been unfairly scapegoated for a while now (the latest in a long line of players and he won’t be the last). Last night he had a poor game, he'd be the first to admit that. To me he looked tired. But as usual he was one of the few players willing to put in an early cross (how long did it take the likes of Stanislas and Danjuma to put a cross in? By which time Cardiff had the entire team back). How poor were Billing, Kelly, Lerma last night and yet I don't see them getting anywhere near the same treatment.
Did you actually watch Rico against QPR? Because I did, and he was one of our better players. Go and rewatch the full match and actually pay attention to his workrate up and down the wing rather than just focusing on the misplaced passes (not the only one guilty of this in that game). So no, I won't go along with your agenda that he's been poor for a long time.
I haven’t been living under any ‘rick’. JW needs time to learn. Any manager coming in needs time to learn. Learn about the players, the best tactics, formations etc. We lost the option of a manager who didn’t need to learn all this when we sacked Tindall (who surprise surprise you said wasn’t good enough and needed to leave). I agree, the tactics last night were awful, and he needs to LEARN from this.
Regarding previous reports what I ACTUALLY said was “they have been far less reactionary than this one" so where did I say that you only write balanced reports when we win? My original comment was regarding your posts in general, not specifically match reports. I stand by it.
Ahh my cherry on top of the cake, my crowning glory, my piece de resistance was to misquote you again I’m so sorry. You didn’t say it was the worst football you’d seen, you said you’d never enjoyed watching football less. Which is kind of splitting hairs don’t you think?
I do find it strange that you carry on watching football during a period which has been so joyless for you, and hate yourself so much that you choose this period to write match reports for all the joyless matches.
You’re an odd character Waz.
