Sometimes I think people should wait until the day after the game before posting, there have been some ridiculous posts in the past 24 hours.
Well it is kind of obvious that King and Miller had poor games, though mainly it was in the first half.
Calls to drop Miller are a huge over reaction. He has been in our best this season. Hanging a guy out to dry on the basis of one poor game is pretty stupid. If Maric has a shocker next week will we drop him?
While Miller simply had a bad game, King looked underdone. I would not be surprised if he gets a run in the 2s to get back some form.
Surprised that no-one has mentioned my favourite player, Jackson. Again he was a liability when he got the ball. I wonder how long we can afford to carry a player that really adds nothing to our team. I think we've already killed off the argument that he is an 'onfield general'. He is a mid-paced, slow-thinking, low-skilled player whose sole redeeming feature seems to be that he is a 'mature body'. He can't even play as a tagger, and that is the role of last resort for a midfielder. Honestly, we cant afford to keep playing this guy much longer.
And the last thing I want to say is what is with this fixation on Post? For crying out loud guys, he is just another Gourdis. I've been seeing this kind of fixation on talls playing in the ressies since Matty Francis was playing (google him if you must). Post is not going to magically get better if we give him 4 games in the 1's. Do that and our percentage is going to get smashed, let alone our win/loss ratio. The only way he should get a game is if we completely run out of talls. If we must experiment, the time is when we are out of contention, not now. Post had his chances in the preseason and Rd 1. There is no conspiracy to keep him out of the team, he's just not any good.
