Gritstone Ram Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Bryson wasn't too bad. Russell and Shackell were crap. We weren't that far behind Newcastle the problem is we are behind them. It will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I didn't think shackell was that bad, well he was just not compared to certain others on the pitch, but how Bryson and Russell make this team I don't understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When ur blaming Bryso for that you have lost the plot , he wasn't too bad in a position that he shouldn't be playing and the blame for that lies with Pearson for not signing a holding midfield player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will suffer without Martin. As will Russell. A hell of a lot of his goals an assists where from him running off Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team is built to a certain style which needed up heaving with Pearson coming in, so with Martin gone and replaced, players like Bryson and Russell should have gone too and replaced with players who link up better with vydra, unfortunately we left it too late In the window to do anything about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passing isn't his strength so why keep giving it him? Not enough invention or movement and players too happy to play an easy pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely pish today, as you would say. I know you have to defend him...... But I can safely say respectfully you're wrong today in my opinion.

We have been guilty of giving it to him and then providing no passing option/running away loads of times, so I normally excuse his passing. Today though, Newcastle had his pants down on a number of occasions. He looked weak and slow of thought in ways to cope with them. The worst I've ever seen him.

Ilsonram12 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Shackell has looked slow for a while, but it's not his slowness that's holding us back, it's the crap passing from eleven players on the pitch and a hoof ball mindset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool As Custard Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Our biggest issue is that we move the ball too slowly especially when we go behind. Players then seem afraid of making mistakes and individuals spend too long in possesion allowing the opposition to take up good defensive shapes. We should be looking at more 1 and 2 touch play even if that means playing more balls early into the channels for Vydra and Wilson to run into. We did it on a few occasions today and looked more dangerous when we did. The more we keep playing this way the better we will get. We won't be up against many teams as tactically well drilled defensively by a top European manager and so the jury is still out on where we really are. Keep the faith, encourage the players and we will get better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
