Pick 29: Shai Bolton
- Thread starter puregreen
- Start date
I agree. I thought he was really solid yesterday (had him in my votes), so was wondering what I'd missed so was waiting to see the replay, but good to see others saw his game as I did.
Most of what we created (not a great deal) came through Shai.
agree with this. Wasted at the moment in the forward. His dash around the ground and centre is valuable. still missing the link that lambert provided
Yeh, it's like he doesn't know when to be selfish and when to involve teammates.
I thought he played too unselfishly yesterday, but he ran hard all day.
I also wish he was better at set shots. He is probably our worst, and it's a pretty big field.
Did u see $hai's reaction to the goal he kicked in the 3rd?
Was way down the other end to me.
(I was standing near the Ryan running goal end).
He kicked the goal and almost gestured to the crowd like he was saying why so quiet, fire up, get involved.
He was shocked by the crowd's apathy.
Me too.
We are content with our recent success and almost not sure how to react.
It's like we are getting used to being *smile* again.
Noticed just a level of apathy.
No boos (not calling for them BTW), not much joy after Goals, it was all very ho hum.
Just a really weird feeling.
Maybe the venue also had some say in that (as DavidSSS mentioned in the Game Day thread).
To me it felt like we can't be cross with the boys (YET) after the great joy they delivered us.
Although, that day is coming.
Maybe we're all just stunned at how quickly we have fallen off the cliff!

I’m putting it down to us being shocked at how quickly we have hit bottom
I was at the game, and I blame the stadium.
It's a soulless vacuum of enthusiasm. I went with my wife, not a normal football attendee, and she summed the move from the beautiful bright autumn day outside into to the dank, concrete bunker as the feeling of descending into a dungeon.
Couple that with watching 2 goals scored in a half, and the crowd really had no ability to get into the game.
Even when Bolton scored the goal, the hope in the crowd had already died.
It never at any point felt like we could score freely, let alone win.
The only time I felt the crowd involved was that disgusting deliberate against Shorty.

I made peace with this last year, then got false hopes with the new lads coming in.
But I made peace with it again before our latest calamity.
Tigers needed wins and good strong wins against the Goldens and Eagles back to back to re launch the season, but blew it.
That’s because as supporters, we’re back to not being able to trust the team to deliver.
But in all honesty was there any player or highlights that deserved our manic response.
yep crowd was quiet, we did get a chant going in the last but it was put to bed very quickly when
we gave up a goal.
as I said in an earlier post we used to fun to watch when we went about our football.
not so much anymore

The 12 suns supporters at the game made more noise than Tigers fans did.
Overthinking things and instinct and joy the players once had, has been snuffed out.But in all honesty was there any player or highlights that deserved our manic response.

Injuries have put us under tremendous pressure and our senior players can’t carry the amount of inexperience in our side.
Game plan = no idea what is or what the team stands for. If it’s circa 2017-2020 it doesn’t resemble anything like it. We don’t have the players to execute or the speed to play that style.
We have been tantalised here and there and we all think ‘we are back”.
The last two weeks have shown us where we sit in the scheme of things.
Our ladder is a reflection of that.
To an outsider it’s like the players have lost confidence in their abilities.
We will never know if Soldo goes back and kicks that goal that it might have ignited a fight back. I saw no one to him ( I think ) and tell him to take the shot. I think missing the earlier one gave him no confidence that he could kick the goal.
All that would have done ( IF we won ) was mask the problems Hardwick and co are facing.
It's great when Shai has the ball and is dodging and weaving, but to watch him jog through the centre when the opposition has the ball is so frustrating.
At least we can see he's thinking on what to do instead of blasting anywhere.
