Very fine lines! You actually should’ve been right.I'll see your 2 nil and raise you to 3 nil, Winnall getting the third from off the bench.

I don't think anyone is particularly happy with him at the moment - I suspect not even Dan Agyei is happy with Dan Agyei.....Be interesting to see if Agyei isn’t seen again for a while....KR is clearly unhappy with him.
I thought Agyei was terrible today. Not just for the missed a sitter chance but it seemed like everything he did was poor. Giving the ball away, silly free kicks, poor touches. Rightly took it badly at the end. KR might have been harsh on him in his interview but I’m sure he’ll come back stronger.Wonder if Sykes will now get a chance again with Agyei being the man KR now freezes out.
Missed Robbo’s post match interview. Did he talk about Dan specifically?
Mate he would be a good signing. Robbo knows how to get the best out of him. Not to mention he’s played at a higher level and for country.Went onto say Griggs name multiple times. Let's hope he does not come here.
Seems to often happen when we make three at once.Is it just me, or do we just fall to pieces a bit as soon as subs are made? (usually 60 mins or so) it has been like this since (and in) the swindon game.
We've held it together and got good results but has ended up as squeaky bum time, today was a good example.
Brilliantly put and more articulate than I could be, but I agree with all of that. For a club which apparently prioritises players mental health so highly, you do wonder how he will be dealt with when he was apparently in pieces sat on the pitch after the game. He’s just a human like anyone else, and it clearly means something to him.Agyei had a mare today. Should’ve just put the rebound into the net first time. It went from bad to worse after that - he has to be better than that. But I also didn’t hear him getting praised when he smashed the ball into the bottom corner from 20 yards only a few days ago. When he messes up he gets slaughtered; when he does something brilliant that helps to win a game he’s largely ignored. It isn’t balanced, I’m afraid. No wonder the guy seems all over the place mentally at times. He also shouldn’t ever be played on the wing, especially the left. He is abysmal there - at least on the right he can drift in on his stronger foot and ends up centrally a bit where he’s comfortable. When he’s on the left he’s consistently terrible. He also can’t track back, commits loads of fouls in trying to do so and generally looks woeful because he simply doesn’t know how to track a full back or tackle a player who dribbles at him in the way that centre backs don’t. He cannot play there. It actively affects him because he’s so uncomfortable and then the team suffers for it. Either put him through the middle or don’t play him at all. Nobody is benefitting from this, and while I once again have to say he was rubbish today and he needs to shoulder the blame for that above anyone else, I don’t know why anybody expects him to be any better when he gets the crap kicked out of him. How many players have been terrible, ineffective or missed chances that actually mattered in games and not had half as much spotlight and attention put on them? It’s disproportionate. If that was Jamie Mackie today and he tripped over his own feet he wouldn’t be getting anywhere near the level of stick or public slating, I’m absolutely certain of that. From anybody. Agyei’s goals to minutes ratio (especially given he’s almost exclusively played out of position) is actually pretty respectable, but the way he’s spoken about you wouldn’t think he had ever contributed a thing.
I don’t think it will ever happen for him here either way. Some of it is his own fault and some of it isn’t, but it’s kind of irrelevant. He’s becoming too polarising a figure - damned if he does and damned doubly if he doesn’t.
That's nearly up there with "Slatter got his ball to the head".Anyone else just hear Nick say that our running win continues..?
Sad me in hitches.
Agyei takes it first time, blasts it over the fence and knocks over the poor fellow on his scooter.WHAT HAPPENED NEXT ?
Agyei played well at Rochdale..I don't think anyone is particularly happy with him at the moment - I suspect not even Dan Agyei is happy with Dan Agyei.....

Brilliant. Presumably the manager didn’t take the opportunity to slap him in public while the local media spent the first 15 minutes after the game solidly talking about him, despite the fact that his mistake didn’t affect the result and he had just scored a peach four days earlier, with barely as much as a grunt of approval to show for it?For a club which apparently prioritises players mental health so highly, you do wonder how he will be dealt with when he was apparently in pieces sat on the pitch after the game.
I agree, he was poor today.It wasn't just the miss though. Thoughtless booking, slow in thought.
Agyei can be excellent at times but you just don't know which Dan Agyei is going to turn up.
