Totally agree Nick. I might sound like a broken record but having a team built
around Philps, with him taking all set pieces is building a team of mediocrity.
He's totally one paced and as you say when he gets the ball the whole tempo
slows. I thought Steve McClaren talked a lot of shit when he was commentating
on the Fulham game but when asked about Philips being an England candidate he
said something really interesting. He said, Philips first thought always needs
to be a forward pass. More than often Philips will get the ball, control it and
then play a backward or square pass.
Last night as really poor for me. Bamford has lost it. Nobody can defend him as
he's not playing as a striker and when he is presented with a good chance he
doesn't look like he's got the confidence to convert. I used to rate him but
he's not the footballer who first joined us or scored all those goals for Boro.
Costa is another who isn't delivering.
Klich appears to be doing a lot of running but not actually doing anything.
I could go on but I'm just going to depress myself.
I don't think we're going to do it.

Phillips is a passenger in games like this. Do we really need a holding
midfielder? He can't do the inventive stuff and as you said slows things down
when he does get the ball.
Still we should really be looking to win all of the last six, totally winnable
games.

This was also my first experience of LUTV too. Generally it was ok, although I
wasn’t sure about the resolution of the feed. I was very annoyed by the slow
replays over live action. As for the girl ‘presenting’, all I could think of
was Mel Brooks’ ‘tits and teeth girls, tits and teeth’ adage!
As a game, we should have won (again), we over-complicated our passing in the
opposition box (again), we cocked it up (again).
If Phillips had ever had a more negative game, I’m bloody glad I didn’t watch
it. He is a passenger half the time, he constantly passes square or behind the
man, and his corners are truly awful. He should have been subbed before Berardi.
Credit Luton - their plan worked, but here we are top of the league and limping
along to promotion (hopefully) with every one of our weaknesses over the last
2 years still unresolved. I’m not sure how much further we’ll get with this
‘law of averages’ approach. At some point we need quality players - you win
nowt with duds ;-(
Yes, I am pissed off, even as we sit 4 points clear at the top, with every
chance of promotion.
