Thierry Ennui Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Did you watch the match? During McClaren #1 we had a team which cost a combined £3m-ish and we were playing attractive football. Aside from Leicester and one or two other teams in my opinion we were pretty much outplaying everyone and not in my opinion we were scoring lots of goals. Fast-forward a few years and we have a squad costing about £25m (more than the majority of teams in this division) and we're playing as if the teams we're facing are two leagues above us. Against Birmingham and Brentford we were entirely despressing to watch. We looked scared. I'd want us to show more initiative if we were in the Premier League, never mind against two struggling Championship sides. I'm not sure how you can dress this as anything other than pretty disastrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A draw at Brentford I'd take that thanks. There's another much easier way to accommodate Ledley - Drop Johnson - He played the full game on Saturday, no reason not to 'rest' him And if it was an experiment - How could he not see at half time that it wasn't working? He kept it that way until Ledley went off on about 85 minutes It's not the result - It's that we were incredibly lucky to get that result, looked like the second best side by a mile and the team set-up and tactical decisions were bad We've played all of the bottom 5 now this season - And only beaten one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that was the role he was given yesterday... Was not at the match so probably not too qualified to comment but surely he is played there to pick up scraps from the forwards? Scored 15 goals for Norwich in their promotion season when played there before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played in that position last night and done a really good cross which leads our goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scored 15 goals for Norwich in their promotion season when played there before. Possibly - I actually ranted throughout the game that if Johnson had simply followed Woods around stopping him having the ball it would have been a very different game - But he didn't - He drifted around aimlessly - And there weren't any scraps because Winnall proved to be too small to play as a target man - He didn't hold the ball up and won pretty much no headers so there were no scraps Pretty sure he played on left side of a 4 man midfield for Norwich - I remember thinking their setup that season was interesting as they left the full-backs to provide all the width and played (essentially) 4 CMs - So he was picking up scraps - But scraps coming back from 2 CFs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky to concede after solid defending Much easier to stop a team scoring if you don't let them have the ball If you keep handing them the ball back and let them have attack after attack it's not good defending - And inevitably they're going to create better and better chances They were unlucky with 2/3 efforts from range which had Carson totally beaten because the midfield hadn't closed down well enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
