Something needs to change at half time

The fucking formation and game plan

 

---

[mark82]

That’s all they ever do when they play together. O’Hare is a much better player when Palmer isn’t on the pitch.

Yeah, agree with this. Both trying to do the same thing.

 

[Paul Anthony]

We're asking Simms to everything attacking wise, he needs someone up there to help him.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Our lack of pressure is painful to watch

Totally agree. The back needs to push up and go man to man if we have to. Can't let them 'kill the game' so easily. Far too easy. Be very surprised if he doesn't change things, be it players/shape.

 

[Chris1987]

Ultimately King’s stubbornness in Jan will cost us.

Do you know this for a fact or is it speculation ?

 

[Grendel]

Or just seeing out his contract without injury.

Thats unfair - the formation isn’t working - he doesn’t work with Palmer and needs a better outlet

 

[mark82]

The fucking formation and game plan

Need to be back to 4-3-3

 

[PVA]

Palmer the only one playing half decent. The midfield two are passengers, the defence is shaky. Simms has been...not good.

Wright for Lati at half time and go back to 4 at the back.

 

[lord_garrincha]

Dangerously close to smashing my tv up

Domestic violence is NEVER the answer.

 

[shmmeee]

Odds we go back to 4atb after the break?

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Ultimately King’s stubbornness in Jan will cost us.

Yes but we own all our own players so all fine and it means we have done better than last season apparently.

We really should have been more flexible and pragmatic. A couple of loans would have made all the difference.

 

[Osullivan18]

Well that was pretty pathetic. Far far too easy for WBA this. Positive, it's only 2 at half time this Friday

 

[mark82]

Yeah, I know, just frustrated.

What happened?

 

[Saddlebrains]

Old enough to remember when we had an owner who thought taking a punt was a good business plan, we've only just about recovered from it

Would it really have solved all our problems getting some loans in? We'd have spent a chunk of money which we then couldn't spend in the summer and would still have been fucked when we lost Sheaf, Allen and Sakamoto one after the other

It would be a huge gamble on not just getting to the play offs but winning them and potentially weaken our chances in the next 2 or 3 years as you can't spend it twice

2 loans where we had to contribute circa 12 k a week, in the wide positions, to maintain a system we were getting results with is 100% fucking worth it

As we're seeing now

 

[procdoc]

Well that was awful. Zero pressing, no cohesion, they’ve strolled through that half

 

[Tommo1993]

Not a massive fan of either keeper but Collins is doing fuck all for those goals.

 

[HadjiChippo]

That was a hard watch.

i can accept the first goal as a bit of individual magic, but that second goal was soft as shit.

Can’t see us getting anything out of this. At 1-0 it was still possible to get something, can’t see us getting 2 or 3 now. Would’ve been a different game if Eccles shot had gone in.

 

[mark82]

Simms is isolated.

 

[shmmeee]

Wright for Lats, 433, O’Hare wide right Palmer in the 10.

 

[Nick]

Nice to see us playing the clock down….

I think we will be trying to keep it at 2

 

[Saddlebrains]

Wasnt going to say anything but im fuming so fuck it

Dennis Lawrence isnt going to be here after the end of the season

 

[Evo1883]

Besides 2 decent chances we were pretty poor tbh , too slow , too many extra unnecessary passes , no press at all and lacking a bit of fucking passion tbh

 

[Evo1883]

Wasnt going to say anything but im fuming so fuck it

Dennis Lawrence isnt going to be here after the end of the season

Who is replacing him ?

 

[tom88]

We’ve been shit since we beat Leicester and our style of play is getting boring and a box ticking exercise

 

[fernandopartridge]

Always the problem with this formation. Especially when you don’t have two players a level above the league.

TBF Bidwell was often further forward than anybody other than Gyokeres. The two clowns playing there this year just don't seem to have the appetite

Some of us got criticised for saying it at the time. I was right, again

 

[Chris1987]

Because we don’t have any other players. That’s why we’ve got two kids on the bench.

So they're just warming it then with zero chance of coming on?

Interesting. Explain..

Palmer the only one in midfield putting his foot in and trying to win the ball.

No tempo in our play when we do manage to get possession. WBA being allowed to stroll this.

Why not?

 

[hill83]

We are setup not to press initially. So they can just fuck about with it for as long as they like. Exactly why we were shite early in the season.

I’m seething ffs. Ha ha. Need a can.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Or just seeing out his contract without injury.

O’Hare is coasting! Not helping Van-Eawig at all

 

[Macca]

Not mean, just a bit fucking stupid if you can't see Simms isn't the issue here.

Just fucking stupid if you can’t see he has been part of the issue tonight. Had a poor half

 

[shmmeee]

Frankly on this evidence he hasn’t been here all season.
