Luton have done their homework. Press us high whilst we fuck about short passing. If Moore kicks long we have no height except for Gyok.

Am I wrong?

You are exactly right. Although I wouldn't call the passing about fucking about.

It was 4-0 when he came on

Shhhhh don't let fact like that get in the way of the Sheaf bashing.

On that note-

Properly dropped the ball with a comment in the first half, no humour was intended but no excuse at all. Have to hold my hands up and apologise.

One of the dangers from tonight is how much other teams learn from this. Our back 5 have looked so slow and uncomfortable under pressure. If other teams decide to adopt the same tactic we're going to have to have a re-think on the way we build from the back.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

I don't get why we've forgotten the high tempo, more direct counter attacking stuff from last week. That's how you beat the press each time

They haven't just pressed, they've been aggressive and bullied us.
we haven't been able to handle it

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

O'Hare has not been up to his high standards for at least 3 to 5 games now.

But there is no replacement and won't be with Bright/Jones as back up.

He tries hard but isn’t going to turn games

It happens sometimes. A few years ago a team I was managing were near the top of the league. Went into a game we thought we’d win comfortably, found ourselves 5-0 at half time and down to 10 men.
Fuck all you can do to change a game in that predicament

 

[covcity4life]

Bright to return


To the subs bench !

Sat I hope.

Also give Jones some more mins robins ffs

Time to go onto the facebook forum with...
STAB. KILL. FOOTBALL. MAX!

Should garner me 1,000 likes.

 

[tommy hutch legend]

Has he had a touch

no exactly

 

[Frostie]

Kane on at LB Saturday…. Maatsen has been rinsed

If you dropped everyone who had a poor game we'd be putting the U18s out on Saturday.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Don’t think our players have anything in tank. They’ve been running on empty. We need a petrol head in midfield. Where’s the engine room? Maybe need Vin Diesel next to Sheaf to add some steel? Some of our defenders have the turning circle of a fuel tanker. We lack octane in our attack.

I'm probably clutching at straws but it could be a good thing that there is a game so soon after this one

Have no idea what was said mate , was too busy crying in the toilets at Luton

We executed an effective plan against that infamous Barnsley side last season along similar lines. But a bit like Brentford at our place, in shell shocked mode they just kept trying to play it out and got squeezed time after time

 

[cc84cov]

Jones for O’Hare at least to get some time into his legs O’Hare been poor for a few weeks now

[Evo1883]

We need to address the away form , despite us playing well in all but tonight we seem to struggle to do the business

Let's just say it hasn't been a good night

He isn’t on the bench and we’ve made 3 subs

Agreed mate , almost home

Am I wrong?

Historically we've coped pretty well against high press teams & would have known what to expect tonight, the fact that we've absolutely collapsed is inexplicable.

That's a suitcase of memories that I almost left behind

Millwall and Barnsley was struggling to do the business. This hopefully is a one off aberration

 

[Frostie]

Yeah, but apart from that?

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

I blame Walker

 

[lord_garrincha]

That's a suitcase of memories that I almost left behind

Hopefully without severed limbs...

 

[procdoc]

Shit manager

My best player got sent off and my best centre half , a lad that was captain of Bedworth in his younger days, went off injured. Was a horrific day haha

 

[shmmeee]

Bright to return

Well he’s finally at the same level as the rest of the squad.

Penalty threw us and we’ve been awful since. Can’t think beyond a sickness bug

 

[Evo1883]

Sometimes in football , a team plays that bad everything just goes wrong .

Tonight we've had 2 shit decisions , 2 deflections , 2000 bad passes and it wouldn't have mattered who we played

Burge has got to take some blame for what has happened tonight.

Brentford just kept playing the same way all game long that day as we have tonight, despite it being a busted plan. Doesn't mean we should stop doing it full stop but it does mean we need to get better at what we do and have a Plan B up our sleeve for this type of oppo
