Topram Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Decent passing half but just too slow no movement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Hmmm,frustrating. We are being smothered in the midfield again and the balls just not travelling up front. Got to go for it in the second half or our play off chances are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like the defenders hand was floating in the reverse angle replay. I'll delay putting my flag down until I see it again but looked a complete dive to me. We're still in this game but its really quite apparent we are missing a lot of starters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKRam Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Sorry @SaintRam seen plenty of free kicks for that, ridiculous yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady1993 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Might be controversial: but a fair few of our problems are coming from the shift in midfield. Shinnie is causing problems in building from the back by being loose on the ball and, more importantly, not offering himself/getting into space enough for the pass from the defence. Rooney in the #10 is leaving Martin isolated and us short in attack. Sibley can't affect the game as much from where he's playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Hyperbole one up from Superbole. I need a laugh. Waited ages for this game. We need a lucky goal or penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve How Hard? Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 The ref is having a shocker. Austin scrapes his studs down Evans thigh and he gives nothing. Happy to dish the yellows out to us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boooooooooooooooooooo Zooonnnnnnn Boooooooooooo If he doesnt play well today in the 2nd half at least Cocu can justify why he is not on the pitch and never play him again. Tell him to get the ball and run his socks off, shot on target whenever available and get a decent cross in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Common Cocu. Drop your OTT possession football you had us playing with, in the first half of the season. It was the same against Forest. We've got to be willing to lose possession whilst attacking. Enough of the side to side and back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone actually want to run at their defence? Or is the game plan to slowly pass them to death? Lack of movement and a lack of pace going forward all 1st half. Hopefully a full 45mins of Whittaker can help in that regard... already made one or two decent runs in the 5mins he's been on. Exactly. They’ll be quite happy watching us pass around our back 4 all evening. Where’s our attacking intent. Unless we show ambition we are going to lose this comfortably.

ramboy63 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Still in the game but the first half as passed us by without creating a thing,we look nicey nicey in position but it means zero if there is no end product This was always going to be difficult with two suspended now Holmes injured makes this a massive ask Thought Cocu would of gone for Jooz as sub replacement for a bit more experience we lacking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its because no one apart from Bogle is making the right runs in wide areas or able to beat players, I would get Zoon on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 That first half pretty much summed up all our poorer performances since the new year. Some nice interplay in midfield to retain possession, but nowhere near enough incisiveness or creativity up front - combine that with our defences inability to keep a clean sheet, and you have a recipe for trouble. Yet another early lapse in concentration has made life extremely hard for us here, just like it did at the weekend. Forest and West Brom thrive on the counter, and in both games we’ve made life very easy for them, through our own lack of concentration in defence (Forsyth I’m looking at you!!!!). We’re still in this mind, just need better quality in the final third. Hopefully Whittaker can make his mark here. We need at least a point here or things will be incredibly difficult for us. Really we need all three given we play Brentford on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Think we’re playing alright. Much faster and a bit more aggressive than Forest game. Not hard though. just so reluctant to get shots at goal. Everyone so keyed into passing we have gone back to our 18 yard box from their 18 yard box 3 times!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
