Preston

You've picked 2 games in 19 where you think we've been tactically poor ..

I'm not sure the argument holds up

So?

Against Stoke, Millwall and Plymouth .

Ok and your fearing Birmingham who are shite and Sunderland who are getting beat by everyone recently

I have a confession - Never made It to the this afternoon as I stated in another thread.
I caught a conversation in the bookies this morning about the game being on at the Spires so nipped down there instead.
The performances of Sheaf, Jamie Allen and Godforsaken, aside, I thought we equipped ourselves quite well at times - In terms of forward movement and chances (half or otherwise) created.
Had me coat on and walking to the door when Simms got his goal.
Pleased for him and us.

Against Stoke, Millwall and Plymouth .

What are the team to do then ? Do tell .. we've lost to fucking Ipswich away

 

[pusbccfc]

So?

Those aren't as good as Ipswich and the sides we are playing in the next 6 weeks?

 

[Matt smith]

So basically like myself , most people on here thought we'd win at Ipswich away , considering the outpouring of nonsense

No more the manager gave us no chance at 2pm

I can take a loss at Ipswich

what I can’t take the game being over before it had started

You keep asking me to name games we've been tactically poor, you just don't like being told anything but your own opinion

You've named 2 , I'm all ears .. I'm happy to debate

This forum 'why did he change a winning formation'

Also this forum 'it was only Stoke, Millwall and Plymouth'.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

OK, continue , which other games

Cardiff was pretty terrible too if we’re being honest

 

[Warwickhunt]

It is a lesson though in needing to have the confidence to stick with your own system and not grovel just because of the opposition's league position. May have lost regardless but would have been interesting.

Totally agree Brighton SB why the f!ck is MR pandering to the opposition setup, the last 20 mins we had them all ends up and there tactic of launching the ball out to a willing forward fell on Stoney ground because their forward players were having to come back to defend. Sakamoto is quality and I don’t know why MR does not start him ( don’t think MR can talk Japanese I think) i think Allan should have stopped the winger Burns! if he had stuck with him instead of worrying about the overlapping player that Bidwell had got covered

 

[Blind-Faith]

Bit like many on here though

Who don’t feel the need to call up local radio to talk about a game of football they didn’t see

Mustn't have read the original post.

We've just lost to Ipswich and the rest of the run ahead continues to be tough. We've had a decent run against 3 of the poorer sides in this league after losing 4 out of 5 prior.

I praised him for the formation change that has got us results recently

why change it again?

 

[fernandopartridge]

Thats the point. Im not sure we will pick the right team.
Whats worrying me is Latabadieure arguably has been our best player this season and was brought in to be a right sided CB in a back 3. Sakamoto was brought in yet clearly doesnt fit a wing back system. He is a quality player as a winger with a back 4. Now we have changed formation it seems latabadieure has no role in the team.
Surely when bringing in players, they are brought in to fit a system. It feels to me like the management team got a load of money from player sales and just brought in players they like the look of without actually thinking about how they will fit the system we play or might play. Ayari another example. Clearly brought in for a wing back system and now in a 4-3-3 he has no role and so we tried shoe horning him into a wider role.
Were Wright and Simms brought in to be a partnership? Can Binks play in a back 4. Da Silva isnt a full back in a back 4.

Lati best player this season

Are we talking performance or tactics ? Players can play poorly no matter how good the tactics

 

[clint van damme]

Again, so?

What is tougherabout Blues who are shite and Sunderland who can’t win?

Leeds and Sunderland are a write off but the rest we should get points.

 

[Evo1883]

They aren't though are they

 

[CovLad94]

Thought Ipswich were brilliant, we've been alot worse than that, just lacking that cutting edge today and decision making.
We beat Birmingham on Friday imo.

 

[pusbccfc]

Ok and your fearing Birmingham who are shite and Sunderland who are getting beat by everyone recently

On paper easy but both will be up for it.

 

[Martin180]

So to sum it up Plymouth , Stoke and Millwall are going down and the teams we are playing in the next 6 games will all be in the playoffs

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Leeds and Sunderland are a write off but the rest we should get points.

Why is Sunderland a write off?

 

[clint van damme]

I praised him for the formation change that has got us results recently

Personally, I think he made a mistake. We ended up losing away to 2nd in the league, bad day at the office, move on.

No more to it than that for me.

 

[Matt smith]

They aren't though are they

Leeds is evo I’m sorry

 

[Ccfcisparks]

On paper easy but both will be up for it.

Oh yes and I’m sure Plymouth, Millwall and Stoke weren’t up for it

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Are we talking performance or tactics ? Players can play poorly no matter how good the tactics

Sakamoto at wing back, the corner defensive routine failing, and us not managing more than one shot on target till the latter stages. Would say that was more than just a few players having an off day.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

They aren't though are they

Leeds is. Sunderland would have been, less sure on second thought.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Are you Mark Robins

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

You've named 2 , I'm all ears .. I'm happy to debate

Pretty much every game before we swapped from 5 at the back.

 

[Tommo1993]

Gutted to see the noise generated by fans didn’t result in an extra point.

 

[Matt smith]

MR ‘stick your chest out we’re Coventry city’

changes a winning team to try and nullify Ipswich

ffs

 

[pusbccfc]

Oh yes and I’m sure Plymouth, Millwall and Stoke weren’t up for it

I'm wrong then.

Maybe this next 6 weeks isn't tough. I must be looking at it wrongly.
