No, it doesn't, but when teams like Preston come out all guns blazing and keep you pegged back in your own half for over 25 mins, the crowd is going to be very quiet whatever.
Unless they are booing of course.
Doesn't help with fans scattered all over the place in small pockets
As I said on Saturday, I think that was a bit of a false dawn for Preston. They seem to getting carried away and purring to their hearts content at how good they were, but they will never have an easier gams than that all season long.
We were powder puff, didn't change the system to counteract their tactics, didn't pressure them, didn't have any shots on target and our first corner was in the 88th minute.
It was so, so easy for Preston. Cannot see any team playing as badly as we did. It really was that dreadful.
They were poor and we were far worse it was a dreadful game
Well,They were poor and we were far worse it was a dreadful game
Well,
Well, that's what I am saying. It was a very, very average Preston side and we were just so poor they walked the game easily.
The system is the only problem
The system is the only problem
then went on a 7 game unbeaten run.
I'm always suspicious of the phrase 'unbeaten run'. The first question I'm asking is how many wins and how many draws and then how many goals did we win by? In our case, it was a less than stellar 'unbeaten run'.
Yep, that and all the players that scored last year have left, and the keeper that kept us in plenty of games has left.
Do you mean the system of selling anyone that we get an offer for and replacing them with a loan/free signing, but only bringing in the players once everyone else has had their choice of the free players so their wage demand might be lower?
They have been replaced with players of the same ability (Barring Murphy), only significant difference is the change in tactics by Pressley
I beg to differ, neither Clarke nor Wilson have been replaced by players of similar ability. Who is going to contribute as much as Moussa did from midfield in terms of goals? Baker splits opinion, but it's hard to see anyone other than perhaps O'Brien who has been brought in who might be any better.
I'd agree that the shape doesn't help, but I can't see there's much evidence the squad overall is a good as last season's, particularly pre-January.
