Alph Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 We've been battered in 2 games and the other was a team way ahead of us that we beat. Won't be the last time we get battered and before the season ends we'll batter someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannable Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 We've still not even deployed 'Plan A' yet. We don't have the squad to. We're building towards it. We've been essentially using something akin to the Clement system up until now as we just don't have the players to do what we used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramberrie Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 It seems obvious to me that apart from Ince and Hughes, there is something fundamentally wrong with the team in terms of attacking. Steve McLaren needs to start handing fines out for players that continually take extra touches of the ball when one will do to control it before passing or laying off. This type of football only encompasses slow tempo football that is very easy to defend against. Fines should also be handed out to every player that chooses to take the easy option of turning and passing the ball backwards when there are other more offensive options available. All season we have been guilty of passing balls backwards or sideways when there are better options available that could turn into chances. Again this leads to a more slower tempo that is easy to defend against. These two issues symptomatically are the reason why we have one of the worst scoring records this season. Compare this with the season we got to wembley and probably should of gone up with Stevie Mac and you will see the fast flowing football from defence into attack. There was no need for Plan B that season. Teams knew how we would play, but the intensity, tempo and more attacking flare was more apparent then than compared to this season. Is it just a hangover from Pearson's micromanaging???? I have no idea, however until these 2 issues are sorted then it doesn't matter what the first 11 is or who is up front or what formation we are playing.

Rampage Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Still no plan B. Totally agree. Leeds game Reminded me of when Leicester hammered us when they went up. Leeds could have scored a few but the goal that we gave them is unlikely to have been conceded by Pearce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
