It's Josh Wright isn't it?
Comically gave away a penalty yesterday I think in the wall, with his hand 8ft in the air.
Week before gave the ball away in a dangerous area and actually ran away on the pretence of a 'give and go'.

Riley and Bruenker are strong candidates

Got to be big Kai. There's nothing there, nothing at all.

Brüenker without a doubt, he's worse than Darren Morgan. Shame his willingness doesn't match his ability

I can't give it to Kai as he's clearly not a footballer.
It has to be Wright. Honorable mentions to Kelvin Mellor and Joe Riley though. A fierce battle to prove who's our shittest right back.
Almost makes me miss Tony McCunt. Almost.

Wright for me. Bruenker's an amateur given a golden ticket. He's squad man and I don't think anyone really expected much from him. Wright is a seasoned pro, our fucking captain and arguably the most ill-equipped midfielder plying his trade in the game today. He can't tackle, head a ball, pass over ten yards, he doesn't break forward and he never, ever finds space after passing. He's a midfielder who can't win or keep, and simply doesn't want, possession. The epitome of the shivering shithouses we're calling a team these days; the poster boy for Project Rahic.

He might technically look more accomplished than some of our other players, but what has Scannell contributed? Absolutely nothing.

Scannell would definitely be the biggest disappointment. I think he escapes flak because he's about the only player who actually looks to go forward. That he invariably fails gets ignored by our low-expectation fans because our already-low standards have taken a further hit watching this team. Even our fans are beaten, broken men.

I think more a case of us ruining Doyle. At least in the first half dozen or so games he looked like he was bothered even though it wasn't working - doesn't he have one of the best goals to mins ratio poor any L1 striker? So what do we do, play him in a set up that plays to none of hos strengths and makes him totally useless. I don't know, Scannell, Brunker and Wright for the reasons above (and Scannells crosses are abysmal), NKP for his rate of decline, McGowan for being a total sham compared to the brief few games he had earlier this year... Wonder how Omari is doing?

We could have conceded a fair few more. The central midfield battle is the most important position on the field, gain control there and you take pressure off your defence and lend weight to your attack. We have replaced Law, who wasn't that bad, and Dieng, who flattered to deceive, with Wright and Akpan. Worse still we made one of them Captain. Both make Dieng and Law seem like a massive upgrade. Worse midfield pairing we have had in my years watching them. Other notable mentions for NKP, McGowan, Mellor, even Scannell who looks like we've been sold a dud. Kai is exempt because he is not a footballer, merely eye candy for the female fraternity.

You could pick anyone from this list: #scanz Riley Mellor Wright Akpan Doyle O’Connor McGowan NKP Isherwood (barely played but shit)
Fair play to the likes of Wood and Colvil. Both just kids playing their first season in a first team. Made mistakes but nowhere near as bad as the above. Dick O’Donnell is decent too, despite conceding so many.
But all this is will massively contribute to our relegation. You just can’t replace 7-8 players in January, it’d be massively expensive and there’s still no gaurantee it’ll turn things round. People hoping for the saviour cometh in the transfer window need a reality check.
I really think we’ll be breaking all the worse kinds of records this season, and there’s nothing we can do. Clap harder, protest, fly a banner, change the manager. None of it will work.
The best we can hope for is that because we’re so utterly awful, the national media pick up the story and run with it to make RnR realise the problems they’ve caused, get sick of it and move on.
To who though? That’s the other huge problem.

I'd have Billy Knott over either of those and he plays for Canvey fucking Island.

Says it all that O'Brien came in and was our best midfielder after no preseason and not kicking a ball in anger in months. Couldn't drop him and his lack of fitness has probably contributed to his injury.
On paper we have some good signings if we could get them playing. In reality it's not working due to the preseason and the build up to it being an absolute shambles. It's fair to say that I expected HopkinS to muster more than 4 points from 30 and after 10 games you'd expect to see some of his influence on the team. I know there's been injuries and suspensions so he's been forced to juggle them a bit but would anyone say they have an idea of what his preferred playing style is? Keep hearing it's similar to Parky but he doesn't always play a big man.

I'd have Billy Knott over either of those and he plays for Canvey fucking Island. I keep seeing the same rubbish about our squad, 'but we have signed some decent players from other clubs'. But none of these people seem to look at how much of an influence these players had at their corresponding clubs and what players they had around them. Wright and Akpan spring to mind as two players where comments were hardly glowing from their former clubs, O'Connor had fallen out with the Aberdeen fans and McGowan was making sandcastles at some outpost in the desert. Riley was 'brilliant' because,well, its Man U innit. Miller went down with Bury and Doyle with Oldham, although he did get on the scoresheet a few times despite playing for a poor side, albeit playing alongside a targetman like Craig Davies. Something our club forgot to think about when spunking the Wyke cash. Fact is we either signed player no one else seemed to want or players Huddersfield wanted us to have for their benefit. How much of a part Abbott played in all this remains to be seen.

Keep hearing it's similar to Parky but he doesn't always play a big man. It takes some doing but we haven't looked the better side in any game this season, either in the league or the cup. Fuck sake we even got beat by the worst fucking team in the league in Macclesfield. I don't think we could have a better job of fucking this season up even if we had set out with the intention to. Worryingly the signs were there in pre season. And its hasn't got better at all.

Where do you fucking start?
In terms of quality, it's Brunker. Because he's done nothing to indicate he's a professional footballer. Which he isn't.
But in terms of being just downright awful, Wright leads the way.
NKP isn't far behind. McGowan has been dog shit.
In terms of being a let down.
Mellor, Doyle, Scannell, Akpan, Riley. Even Seedorf.
The only ones who've come remotely close to what I expect are O'Donnell, Payne and Miller (who I thought would be meh, and is).
