At which point we should have started pressing again. And so on, there’s got to be that balance imo. Got to be intelligent enough to know when to press and when not to - we don’t seem to be capable of making that judgement. I agree that we forced them into a change of style by our good play in the first 20 minutes, which makes it even more frustrating we didn’t keep the standards up! To go from the best we’ve played all season to arguably some of the worst, just like that, is concerning imo. Yep pretty much my thoughts ,, a lot of the problem then is players adjusting to what’s developing in game , though I also think the subs personal wise could have Been better and earlier so for me it’s not ALL on cocu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Ram Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Regarding the subs what is Sibley going to offer in 3mins on the pitch. Needs to be made earlier. We looked good first half then decided to spend the second 45 defending a 1-0 lead. Just carry on playing the same way rather than sitting back.

We got pulled across the pitch by our hesitant play. Buchanan regularly heads balls away from the middle of the box and we think he's great. It was a good finish and a good goal. We should blame the defeat on our inability to maintain possession up front through poor decision making. We were always going to concede faced with constant pressure.

Not harsh at all he gets sucked into the middle all the time. Their man had a free header. PS Bournemouth haven’t lost yet this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, I think the ball ending up with the scorer from the cross was a bit fortunate. But often the case on here with opposition goals, someone has to take the blame ?

But is he put in that position through the system and tactics that were employed?....surely these things can't be viewed in isolation? Or in every game that we have conceded a goal in the past 14 or so been down to the actions of one individual player and not also from failings in the management of the game itself?

Again,I think that's the point.....and the source of much frustration including your own yesterday. We could all see what was going to happen and that changes were needed but the management team ignored the obvious and essentially allowed it to happen...poor old Buchanan was just the last link in that chain of failings that led to the goal. I think you know that too if you were being honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariotofmyown Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Why no one likes the sitting deep tactics, they created very little and couldn't break us down. The only real chance was when Waghorn and another player left it for each other. The goal was a mistake from Buchanan and they shouldn't have scored from that position. Main issue for me is Waghorn, Rooney and Lawrence ran out of steam and had to retreat to behind the halfway line in the 2nd half when they had the ball. Their pressing was brilliant for 20 mins, but seemed to kill them. Rooney not fit enough to play like that and other 2 returning from injury. Shame Jozwiak was not there.

Much prefer him to Max Lowe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
