Said it before and will say it again. Eccles is a league 1 footballer

Probably can say the same for Thomas

For two pretty big strikers we have fuck all Ariel presence between them

Yes very little threat in opponents box

 

[Evo1883]

Not when you've got a player on top of you.

He never tried to play it out though , he tried to dribble it out there's a difference

 

[robbiethemole]

Surely we’re allowed to just Fucking clear it out occasionally?

 

[CovLis86]

Nothing wrong with playing out the back, it's having the fucking brain when to just clear it. So frustrating some of the absolute gifts we give with just a moment of stupidity.

 

[wingy]

Refs having a shocker no was that a foul by Wright.

 

[skybluecam]

One of the best 40 mins we’ve played all season followed by one of the worst goals conceded

 

[stupot07]

100% he should have just wellied it

Many teams play out from the back , it's 2023

Oh it's 2023 so let's do something we're not capable or skilled enough to do. Great idea.

 

[Paul Anthony]

We've got to be a lot smarter at realising when we can play it out and when we can't.

 

[Macca]

Binks on, Godden on

 

[SIR ERNIE]

it was naiive at best. Clear away from danger. Bad decision making.

 

[MalcSB]

One day he's going to try the Bobby Thomas long throw.

Careful, @hamertime will be wishing you dead.

 

[shepardo01]

We suck so bad at set pieces

We are the top scorers in the division so far from set pieces.....

 

[Evo1883]

I agree he had to clear it

It's lame, though. In moderation perhaps but watching shite lower league players mess up whilst trying to Man City it out from the back is getting monotonous. Then you get Luton and us last season playing more direct and getting results.

What are you on about , he never tried to pass it out , he tried to dribble it out

Again we've played quite well , we haven't been caught playing out from the back , a player tried to dribble the ball out , it's different

 

[rondog1973]

Neither Wright nor Simms anything like aggressive enough.

 

[steve101]

Thought we looked comfortable in the main. Their goal came out of nowhere. Bobby Thomas looking very unsure again. Apart from a couple of loose passes, Allen and Eccles have looked good in the middle. Ayari started well with some nice interchanges but went quiet for last 20 minutes. Neither Simms or Wright look confident.

 

[covcity4life]

Played quite well. Hopefully can get an equaliser

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

It is MR's tactic to play out from the back.

There’s a pragmatism, he spoke this week about players making decisions on the ball. Even without the benefit of hindsight, Eccles dribbling in the box under a lot of pressure probably doesn’t qualify as a ‘good’ decision.

By contrast, Bobby Thomas’ passes that were a bit dodgy sits under poor execution rather than poor decision making.

Otherwise, I thought we look alright in that half but now we have an uphill battle now!

 

[CCFCSteve]

Eccles will be playing at Shrewsbury in a couple of seasons.

Thought he’d had a decent half before that mistake.

We’ve played some decent stuff without really threatening much. I’d just keep feeding sakamoto who does look dangerous

I’m all for playing out from back but way too casual at times

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Eccles out Lati or MVE in

Wright or Simms out and Godden in

Thomas out and Binks in

MR out Bielsa in

 

[Finham]

What are you on about , he never tried to pass it out , he tried to dribble it out

He means in general. You just have to watch the FL highlights, there's as many goals from cock ups passing it out as good play-see Marosi this week!

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

Ridiculous decision making by Eccles. Why faff around with it inside our box? Just clear it!

 

[wingy]

What was decision with the chance where the goalie got fk via Simms, looked totally innocuous to me

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

We were playing reasonably well, but we’re creating very little yet again. We don’t win from behind so a point is probably the best we can hope for here.

Wright still very unconvincing in the kindest words possible.

 

[Ashdown]

Wright and Simms FFS …..They are so shite

 

[Evo1883]

I think stay as we are until 60/65

 

[Dickie]

For two pretty big strikers we have fuck all Ariel presence between them

It’s very fishy isn’t it.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Yep you can take conceding a great move or shot that was neither

Midfield playing much better than Blackburn

 

[Evo1883]

Actually thought kitching had a decent half , moves the ball up the pitch well

 

[Martin180]

It’s very fishy isn’t it.

Let it go mate

 

[SkyBlueAussie]

Playing well up to that. Balls are getting into the box. Absolute Sunday morning park football shocker that though.
