...the short goalkicks and passing across the back four. We aren't good enough and end up giving the ball or throw ins away.

Problem is mate long balls to Baka are only going to just come straight back at us

I’d rather he stopped doing a pointless 88th min substitute

Talking of which, our throw ons are poor again. I thought we'd fixed that but just lately they're too slow agsin, limited options available and invariably concede possession. Frustrating.

No no no

It works fine. We finished just outside top 6 due to chsnging from hoof.

What it needs is centre mid to tske ball from defence and be the transition. Today kelly and shipley could not make any incisove passes to the front 4 and our fullbsacks did not penetrate along wings.

But using cbs to retain possession and play oit frlm bsck is defintley the right way to go.

don't agree. he's playing to a plan that is working more often than not

Completely agree with this. Robins said one of his aims for this season was a football identity and it's been one of his great successes. Keeping the ball the way to go and we'll get better with it.

I have mixed feelings. The first football advice I was given, 60 years ago, was " never pass across your own penalty area" but that was village football, not professional. My concern is that we seem very laboured in changing from defence to attack. A lot of good forward runs are missed. I think this is because our midfield is designed to protect the defence, not support the forwards

There are st best half a dozen teams in world football capable of taking this approach, we aren't one of them.

fellatio_Martinez · Apr 28, 2019

What's the point in being great at passing if we're only the 8th goodest in the league!?

It's like being great at foreplay but rubbish at sex. Just put it in the box and hope for the best, that's what I say.

BigadamL · Apr 28, 2019

football has moved on from lumping the thing up front, work the ball out, shift the opposition around, I would say we are one of the better teams in league one at doing this, Shrews didn't do it today and I doubt have done it much over the season and I would like to see a state on how many balls come straight back
