That's been happening all season.
The opposition can literally walk through as at will, that's not even hyperbole and I wish it was.
Back 3/5 is now almost inevitable at this point.
That's been happening all season.Still frustrated after yesterday’s poor showing, I’ve just watched the highlights on TV. Probably a mistake as I’m even more pi55ed off.
First goal image:
5 players in a line on edge of 6 yard box (looked to be Bassette going towards our goal). Scorer on his own, another guy on his own on pen spot. Both free to pick up any balls that drop (which happened and they scored). Not sure what Milan’s doing here.

Second goal images:
Chap picked up the ball on half way. No one within 20 yards of him, until he got to the edge of the box. Slotted home. 2-0.
Asante not tracking, neither of the 2 CMs coming across to cover until it’s too late. This seemed to happen all half.
Could Thomas not come across and tell Milan to push to press the ball here? Shows no awareness and no communication. Concerning.

Milan then pointing out the area the guy had the freedom of.

Now if I can see this watching from the stands and the highlights on TV, surely the horde of coaches can?? Yet these (and other issues) are happening from game to game. And also don’t seem to be addressed mid game.
Big concerns for me. Other teams who started slowly (eg Luton and Norwich) now picking up wins.
Robins said about getting in at half time, I'm not sure why he thinks he has to wait until then to talk to players and change things?BTA was following the LB Tymon who inverted into midfield. They then had Cooper drift out to the left along with Eom, continually creating 2v1s. It's very clever play by them but it was absolutely criminal that we didn't adapt to it quicker.
As @Nick said earlier, other teams have their keeper go down 'injured' to stop the game so that they can make tactical adjustments. We didn't even need to resort to that, the game stopped anyway for Allen's injury but we still failed to address it. Shocking.
BTA isn't good enough technically to play the 10.Torp not good enough. Drop Rudoni deeper, BTA central as the 10, Tats on the right.
If not that, then for Leeds away I'd even consider Lati in with 5 at the back.
It looked like a lack of trying from where I was sitting, literally cantering back. The bare minimum you can expect is application and effort, defensive work is basically non negotiable.Think it's unfair to blame BTA for that, doesn't look like a lack of trying, it looks like a down the middle centre forward being played wide right and assigned defensive duties that he doesn't know how to carry out.
Or blood Kai against Leeds, can only go one of two ways!Torp not good enough. Drop Rudoni deeper, BTA central as the 10, Tats on the right.

I'm not sure why we should be so scared of playing Leeds. Their squad is about the 4th best in the division and they've hardly had a fantastic start. Last season, yes, this season, no different to playing any other top 6 club.Torp not good enough. Drop Rudoni deeper, BTA central as the 10, Tats on the right.

Be Brave get some Coventry in there even if he is young and use the the other one for at least half a game Tavares!This is the last team I’d blood a kid into tbf

Genuinely why on earth would we do thisThe defence is shit because for some unbeknown reason we've gave Aled Williams, who has a questionable record in his actual area of goalkeeping, the defensive coach job
He's out of his depth with goalkeepers let alone giving him responsibility for an area that was a strength under Lawrence

For the second goal Torp has got to go and face him up, you don't let a player run into the penalty area. It's fucking basic.
BTA isn't good enough technically to play the 10.
He's the perfect impact sub to chuck up top and say "be a pest for 30 minutes" thats him limitation at this level.Nor tactically, the only role I'd trust him in is a central striker to be quite honest.
This is down to team selection, playing a CF on the right wing, when Sakamoto is on the bench is always going to cause us issues.Still frustrated after yesterday’s poor showing, I’ve just watched the highlights on TV. Probably a mistake as I’m even more pi55ed off.

Poor all round. Bassette needs to chill out until he’s actually scored a couple of goals
I'd say the exact opposite is true, we need more players that demand better from those around them.Poor all round. Bassette needs to chill out until he’s actually scored a couple of goals
He had a really good chance on Saturday and missed, there isn’t much wrong with the pass he’s complaining about in the video eitherI'd say the exact opposite is true, we need more players that demand better from those around them.
Why the fuck should Bassette accept piss poor service?
The headed chance (if that's the one) certainly wasn't easy.He had a really good chance on Saturday and missed, there isn’t much wrong with the pass he’s complaining about in the video either

I notice you didn't mention either of our centre halves, who's job it is to clear crosses into the box..I mean to be fair, the first goal comes from at least two, possibly three players (Eccles, Bassette and maybe Rudoni) missing a simple header clear - awful awful defending
I notice you didn't mention either of our centre halves, who's job it is to clear crosses into the box..
Imo dropping Kitching has had a massive effect on us not keeping clean sheets.
Jesus. So now he is spread over two areas after his questionable ability in his main role!??...The defence is shit because for some unbeknown reason we've gave Aled Williams, who has a questionable record in his actual area of goalkeeping, the defensive coach job

Just not good enough, not the player we need to get us promoted, he doesn't seem to offer anythingNot convinced with Torp, his honeymoon period is over and he looks either shit scared or not bothered
