None of our forwards will do much with that inept service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj9a408 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Knight running around like a headless chicken leaves Shinnie too exposed. Very poor first half chasing the ball around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Makes the decision to drop Waggy look very poor. Yes he isnt the best but at least he would have offered abit more energy for us to press higher. Doesnt matter who we have upfront though if we just keep smashing it long. Shinnie & Knight been very poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re really bad and hopefully the new owners can give us some money to spend I personally don't think the team selection is wrong other than maybe CKR who looks way off being fully fit. The players on the pitch just aren't helping the defenders when they get on the ball. Absolutely no one is showing for it so they either hoof it long or pass it back to Roos who hoofs it long up to an injured CKR or Sibley to compete in the air with a giant in Souttar.

Anag Ram Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Can't play five defenders and two defensive midfielders and expect to create anything positive, especially with such an immobile centre forward. I’ve moved more than CKR watching the game. Get Lawrence and Creswell on and take CKR and Mengi off, purely on tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelovebelow Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Well that was boring. Im considering not watching the second half... Who am I kidding, I'll watch it. Its the hope that kills you.

Surely you leave Mengi on for his pace for the ball over the top which has caught Wisdom out a few times now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramcoteRam84 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 So he’s picked the team that played majority of second half against Brentford. He’s playing Sibley. But of course it’s not going well so it’s Rooney and it’s tactics to blame How about the players who have been picked step up and perform?!

In fact, I'd wouldn't have had Wisdom on in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because from the looks of it our main tactic is hoooooofing it up to wingers or telling one player to run 40 yards with while telling everyone else to run away from him.

Millenniumram Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Well, after a surprisingly attacking half of football the other day, normal service has resumed. Another ridiculously defensive set up from Rooney, with runners instead of footballers in the middle of midfield - and surprise surprise, we look to have no quality whatsoever. Sitting way too deep, and not pressing them at all. We basically look like we can’t be arsed, no energy whatsoever and we’re just allowing them to play the game how they want to. Don’t know about Stoke being on their holidays already, it’s us that look like we’re thinking about the beach - disgusting lack of effort and desire really considering our precarious League position, especially with results going against us. And don’t even get me started on our passing. Christ almighty, that sort of quality doesn’t even belong on the local park. I started counting how many times we gifted possession back to them, more entertaining than watching the actual game. Just hoof after hoof. Dreadful.
