God we have fuck all up top

[gspotgaz]

We are so poor going forward, our forward players really do lack any pace or guile

 

[larry_david]

Defences won't have an easier game all season atm

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Like a bastard hot potato!

Ffs get on the ball and stop giving the fucker away!!!

Why the fuck have we started playing hoof ball all of a sudden?

Play the ball to a skyblue shirt-Jesus

We've realised teams are high pressing us cos we play from the back so mixing it up a bit to make opposition have to think a bit more?

Going to be a very long season. We just seem to get bullied off the ball to easy.

 

[Liquid Gold]

is a bit of an over simplistic view.
The man on the ball was more often than not blessed with options last year, makes the passing a lot easier, that simply isn't happening this year.

My point is oversimplified but so is yours.

Yes they’re playing against better players but they aren’t mentally putting themselves in the same category as them so when they have the ball they’re expecting the superior talent to be closer to them which causes them to panic and lose the ball unnecessarily.

God we have fuck all up top

it's the fact we are being instructed to play this way that makes it look like we haven't tbh

 

[Skybluefaz]

They've got some diving bastards

 

[ccfcway]

30 gone. very decent showing so far.

 

[coop]

Why doesn't he just hoof the fucking thing up the field.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Have we had a touch in their 18 yard box yet?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Is the aim to draw 0-0?

 

[covcity4life]

We won't do much upfrint till o hare comes on as a sub

82nd minute it is then

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Boro commentators don’t rate Marosi

 

[Evo1883]

We basically look terrified to get forward because we don't want to concede

 

[Greggs]

Is the aim to draw 0-0?

Yes please. All day long

 

[clint van damme]

Fook sake why pump balls up against the giants we play every week and look 2 yards off the pace when the ball goes over the halfway line?
Have a word with Mobray and get some tips on what we are against. We seem to be busy fools.

we simply can't play the style of football required to get the best out of Godden in this league. However, as you point out, he's totally ineffectual when we go long. This is the conundrum MR has to solve and quickly.

 

[coop]

Hammer looks a liability at times he'll be sent off a few times this season.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Shipley just booted a 3 yard pass so hard at feet that it was impossible to control. That isn’t superior opposition.

 

[Nick]

Allen did well to recover then but lost his man too easy.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Well done Allen.

 

[Evo1883]

30 gone. very decent showing so far.

It's not bad... It's very like for like from both sides... Just hope we get a bit braver second half

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Living a bit of a charmed life defensively

 

[CanuckSkyBlue]

We need someone to hold the ball up, we’re hanging on a bit now

 

[cc84cov]

Keep it tight we will get to them later Walker & O’Hare will cause these all sorts of problems later

 

[Frostie]

Well done Allen.

His error originally but recovered well

 

[tigersb]

Commentary is so biased

Swansea game was worse

 

[Frostie]

Great challenge Østigård

 

[Skybluefaz]

GoD wHy CaNt We JuSt Be ThE bEsT

 

[Nick]

We are inviting too much pressure, it's as if it is a matter of time again

 

[fatso]

This is fucking dire.

 

[Yorkshire SB]

Can only assume this line up reflects who’s match fit. I don’t understand the plan here, if you have nothing going forward you invite pressure, and give the defence and midfield nothing to go at.

 

[CanadianCCFC]

Really rate Leo
Game calling out for Walker and O’Hare

 

[Esoterica]

Is the aim to draw 0-0?

The Robins way for much of his 4 seasons. Keep it tight first half and try and nick it 2nd half.

 

[Paxman II]

Nice and competative, much better than Blackburn1 Shippers having one of those mares again though. Expect O'Hare on second half.
