Stock BTA on for simms and put their defence under pressure

 

[Evo1883]

Interested to see how haji wright looks through the middle

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Getting sunburned here

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Very poor half from us . Something needs to change

It really hasn't

Possession is the single most useless statistic in football. We’re playing to hit them on the counter and it’s getting us some decent positions.

It surprises me that people still refer to it (not aimed at the initial poster so much, more a general feeling). The amount of times I’m told a team is dominating because they have 60% possession.

Possession is calculated on the number of completed passes. Tippy tappy shit around the defence (or AAATB) will inflate this. I’d much rather we had 40% possession in the right areas than 65% possession because we’re being dickheads round our box.

Bit of a mixed bag. Dasilva probably MOTM so far but is too narrow at times.

Happy for Preston to dominate possession but we need to be better on the ball on the counter. We make some very odd decisions, not helped by having nothing on the right side, was Milan is having arguably his worst game for us.

77% pass accuracy says it all. Almost one in every four passes off target.

 

[Chris1987]

The reality is that Preston are a shit side and we are no better. The defence is shambolic and the football we are playing is dross . Frequently Difficult to know what our tactics are. What are the coaching staff actually contributing ? Can't recall a full 90 minutes where we've played well this season.

It's impressively bad. Yet Robins still keeps trying to say we're a possession team who get the ball down and play.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

That should've been 1-0

 

[chiefdave]

what a chance, not even on target

 

[Paul Anthony]

Got to be hitting the target there

 

[jordan210]

Eccles has sheafs shooting boots on

 

[Nick]

Such a bad shot from Eccles. He could have had touch.

 

[pusbccfc]

That's the clearest yellow card

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Lovely turn by sheaf

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Second yellow ref?

 

[Nick]

Surely a second booking for that on sheaf?

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

That is so poor, Eccles

 

[larry_david]

Josh Eccles that is disgustingly bad technique

 

[Nick]

We have to get at him as he has to be on his last chance.

 

[David O'Day]

where's the 2nd yellow?

Everton in a pre season friendly

 

[gspotgaz]

Pulls sheafs shirt back already on a yellow - you guessed it, no second booking

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Surely a second booking for that on sheaf?

100% automatic booking . Refs bottled it.

 

[stupot07]

That was horrendous by Eccles.

 

[Paul Anthony]

What the hell is that?

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Eccles can't hit the target from there pathetic, what do these guys do in training

 

[Nick]

What was Eccles doing then

 

[pusbccfc]

Preston completely kicking the shit out of us

 

[Nick]

Preston completely kicking the shit out of us

We let them though.

 

[chiefdave]

Don't forget we've had refs recently saying the threshold for a second yellow is higher than the first, even though there's no mention of that in the rule book

 

[pusbccfc]

We let them though.

Exactly. Zero leadership questioning the referee.
