B4ev6is Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Come on let the lads play stop holding back we are to slow moving the ball around we need to be quicker we are sitting to deep at the back at the back. Were has this hit and move football gone forcing everyone forward forcing all the oppersition on the back foot. We need get back to the football that beat hull city dont show the oppersition any respect and keep attacking it alright playing ugly football if you cant get into there half. There is a reason why bradly johnson can not play holding role as he get swapied before he get chance to move forward with the ball he better when he can bomb forward with the ball and beat other players creating room for geouge thorn and butterfield to spray the ball into stead of passing the ball backwards side to side all that does is give oppersition to sit back and figure out our style of play.

Palmo Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 While it's clear that Clement has his own views on how we should play, and it's totally at his discretion on how he plays, it would be nicer to see a little more advancement. I know we play a solid possession based tactic, but some of our best wins (Hull and Ipswich away) have been when we have had less of the poss. Middlesbrough, for example, dominated Brighton in a 3-0 away win with only 38% possession, proving that not only can it be done, but when done right it is super effective. I bet they didn't string 14 consecutive passes between their CB's that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninos Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 B4 pretty much nailed it - we aren't very creative so hopefully they're working on that in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That dramatic pause was phenomenal. As a half fan, personally, I am more interested in a style that wins than one that entertains (except when they're on TV) - but as the points have dried up over the last few games I don't think it's unreasonably to ask for a change that would, on the face of it, at least increase our chances of scoring goals and therefore winning games. And whether you feel like the players are being held back or not, I don't think we can criticise Clement without asking the players to pull their fingers out. They are not blameless.

ram59 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Trouble is, I think our players have got into the habit of having an afternoon nap at about 4pm, well they did on Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Clement needs to learn out to get the best out of his attacking options. If he can tap into that resource then I won't have to be such a miserable ******. Problem is, for 95% of this season we've looked an absolute shadow of what we should be or even what we've been in the past couple of years. He's a smart guy and he knows how to grind out results, ala Billy Davies, but I just feel like we're constantly stuck in second gear. I don't know the problem, but it's clear to see the attacking players are singing from a completely different hymn sheet. I guess my message to him would be to pick the phone up and ask McClaren just exactly what he did to get the best out of Ince, Martin...etc If he can do that, whilst keeping his defensive organisation, he will be able to win promotion at the first time of asking!

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Makes you wonder if the players who played under Mac give their opinion? Perhaps they do and he's not listening. Frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the key question though Ambitious can we do both? Perhaps they are mutually exclusive? To be a bit more creative going forward we have to sacrifice the defensive solidity or to be as solid as we had been defensively we couldn't be so gung ho in attack. I think his tinkering with 4-2-3-1 was an effort to do both, but the initial efforts did not work, so what now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Can I add something to your message please b4? STOP PUTTING 11 MEN IN OUR OWN BOX FOR OPPOSITION CORNERS! The fact that Birmingham scored from a corner shows that it does not always work. Plus it only means more pressure if we clear the corner. I remember when Mac first came he would leave 2 or 3 on the halfway line meaning the opposition would have to leave 3 or 4 defenders back. Surely the less opponents we have in our box the less chance we have of conceding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
