Benty said it all - how do you not just stroke that ball across the 6 yd box…. Clarke’s reaction said it all - he’s sh** and there is no changing that - worst pound for pound signing in club history … |  | | |  |

Hirst one that hit keeper in face too. Pass that across goal and its in. You ain't scoring when the keeper is in on you like he was. |  |

You could level the same argument at Leif Davis in the first half, he chose a cut back rather than driving it across the a danger area [Post edited 29 Nov 2025 9:28]

Not to single him out as there was a lot wrong with that second half but what was he thinking? He’s literally never going to score from the angle he was at. Just needed some composure. |  |

I think that's unfair, the replay showed that Hirst did his best to lift that ball over the keeper, who had got down very quickly, and the pace of things thwarted our move. |  |

Nice finish tonight probably his best individual moment of the season but I don’t think he’s really been that good this year. |  |

Either side of his face and it's a goal! |  |

A bit harsh. If Hirst had controlled that over his shoulder and scored with his second touch it would have been a bit of a worldie. McAteer's failure to play a five yard pass instead of hammering it out for a throw-in is not the same degree of mistake. [Post edited 28 Nov 2025 23:32]

Egeli was pretty much standing on the goal line tho. If you dont score the easier option looks like an opportunity missed. | |

Ffs Leif is a left back - not a number 10 attacker whatever McAteer is…. | | | |

Sadly you can't argue against that, for the money we paid his composure is awful, this guy isn't making a big step up coming to us from where he was, so there's little excuse. |  | | |

Just smashing it across the face at 100 MPH, since he lashed it into the away end at Preston in a great position on his debut I’ve see very little improvement when he’s got in behind or had a good chance. | |

Probably because KM is trying to make him so strange left back number 10 just to accommodate two flairy forwards. | |

Whoever was responsible for that recruitment needs to be banned from doing recruitment ever again.
Absolutely baffling piece of business that looks more ridiculous by the week. |  |

Yup. All the Leicester fans including myself said it when he joined it was a horrendous signing, you'd be querying the worth of picking him up on a free tbh, got piled on by many in here and to be honest he's been even worse than he was at Leicester, a a you said it truly baffling signing who is NEVER going to make it at this level. |  |

He has done this same smash shot across the goal at least 3 times as I recall this season. It is poor decision making and, whilst I am always a patient fan with players on poor runs of form, this surely has to be addressed by the coaching team. He puts himself in great positions in the box and then thrashes uncontrollably at the shot. |  |

OP: because he's McAteer and £14m worth of dross...
HOW MUCH has this " team".... squad cost?? ALL McKenna's choice of player at this club now. Certainly NOT a " team", barely a squad. There's nothing "about" them. They're overrated. Theres no fight, no urgency about their play ( 100% coached!). We miss Sam Morsys leadership and drive like no other player. There's no leaders out there, no one to drag the team through that brick wall.
Its the same sh it every game. Dull, slow, boring, predictable, clockwork, same pattern out from the back, incapable of feeding the ball to the strikers in the box, poor crosses, poor tackling, losing the ball SO easily..
McKenna's reached his ceiling, and run out of ideas, and theres definitely no plan B!
Down arrow at will now fellas, I really dont give a damn, and it certainly wont change the next 90mins of dull, slow, predicatable play by us, with the oh so predictable like for like substitutions on 70mins.....
And Thumbs up to the Town fans asking thst long journey to Blackburn Tues. You deserve a bloody medal. |  |

Never say never, but I think those of us who were wondering why Burns was included in the squad to January and how he was ever going to get back into the team are a little less puzzled by that now. | |

His end product and decision making has been so poor.

Really frustrating bit was that to get himself in that position was incredibly good, running full tilt onto the back heel and have a touch good enough to be in a position to cross was fantastic.
The easy bit was to play it low across the box which would have been incredibly hard to defend or stop a goal. |  |

Agree with the Hirst one - was a great 1st touch to get himself in, then just smashed it at the keeper. Needed a bit of composure to slot it low. |  |

Do you really think he had time to look up, he's slightly unbalanced from the pull down he is having to get there at speed and get his shot off in very little time. If he takes his eye off the ball the chance is gone, believe me. Hirst was unlucky here, pulled it down well to create the chance, got good power on it, 6 inches higher, 6 inches more left or more right and it is in. He couldn't have hit the guy more flush in the face if he tried. Fluke save, but keeper made himself big so credit to him. So saying Hirst really was pretty poor again overall. Maybe we need to get an ex-striker in to work with. Keepers get specialist work, why not strikers. | | | |

Whether you hit it high or low, it is a bit of a lottery depending on how much body the keeper can get in the way, Arguably a head is a smaller target to avoid than 2 legs or a body. The ball sat up as well, ideal to hit it higher. On this I am not faulting the striker. Mcateer on the other hand, he needs to get some composure, in spade loads. | | | |
