Sinclair conundrum

Sinclair conundrum

Padster said:
There is a large % of the wage budget being paid to a player that was completely ineffective last night and has been in the majority of the games he has started in. He seems to have been recruited on reputation rather than performance. He will not improve going forward.
The club couldn’t find a comparatively small contact for a young player who may well or not develop into a handy one at this level. He came on and was effective like it or not.
There are strange troubling decisions being made throughout the club.

He’s our top scorer this season you dimwit!

He’s joint 4th in the league

Do you think he has improved the team? Really!
How many times has he been substituted early to try and build up some more attacking inten

and was substituted at half-time

You’ve got to be on the wind up

I just think the 2 things are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Sinclair has had a career. Dolan is just starting out. You'd like to think there's room for both in a squad. Not one or the other.

Last night Dolan scored because we'd been specifically told by our manager to give up (still can't believe this, my fingers are shaking in anger, typing it), so they ran straight past us and Dolan poked it in at the back post, unmarked by a knackered Fisher.
 
Just think Sinclair is being misused - he's a natural finisher cutting inside, but instead of receiving it in areas where he can be dangerous, like the edges of the box, ends up stuck on the outside receiving wide balls played to feet with nowhere to go because he's expected to cover back to the half-way line.
 
Hell be playing left wing back on Saturday too, so will spend the whole game defending then get grief again for not scoring at hattrick

Aah, so not only is it his fault we’re scoring less, but it’s his fault we’re conceding more. Perfect logic

No doubt with Dolan we’d be top of the league and promoted by Christmas in your mind
 
On last night's showing, Dolan created more and showed more desire and bravery in his cameo appearance from the bench than Sinclair.

Is it a coincidence that our current demise is at the same time that we smash our legendary wage structure, and our best four players all stall on new deals?

What I think the op is saying, is that something doesn't add up. Sinclair is an asset not the problem. I agree.

But anyone who saw that game last night would see a team that clearly couldn't care less. Mistakes and indifference all over the pitch. A team that was on the cusp of playoffs last season and would never say die.

It’s far easier to do this when you have all of the ball, and you are playing ten men who do not seem to care and have no intention of trying to get the ball off you

Dolan wasn’t having to play as a second left back because the player behind him isn’t capable of defending properly

No not at all but we haven’t improved since he arrived we have gone backwards as a team and something is affecting the TEAM performance since his arrival.
At the moment we look unbalanced as a team.
I am not having a go at him personally but we have gone backwards in performances and results since last Christmas. The Dolan comment was there to highlight the differences in both the individual and team performances last night.
How many of our team would get a look in at rovers on that performance?

It’s not just about his personal performances but the team’s performance when he plays, we are not the most talented team but we have overrun teams in the past, last night we couldn’t get anywhere near them with 11 never mind 10
