We had a plan B yesterday. Brought Nuhiu on and went route 1 to get Brentford penned in. It allowed us back in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ranmoor owl Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 None of the fancied sides have had great starts, newcastle only on 9 points, norwich and brighton 8, villa and derby are on same as us, if they were all on 15 it would be worrying but the leagues not settled down yet, 2 weeks to bring in a couple and get a couple fully match fit and work together as a team, 2 home games up next to get season up and running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 10 hours ago, edwardjameswells said: The number of games that were turned by a half-time team talk or substitution were too many to remember. If anything, I'd say it's not that CC doesn't have a plan B - it's that his plan B is often much better than his plan A. I was very impressed with CC's will to change things early on in games last season, even if often frustrated that we'd start too slowly to a lot of games. Agree strongly with this. It's our first halfs that let us down and let oppos ease into the matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We battered them first half.. Should have been 4 or 5 up. Its the losing focus for a few minutes when something goes against us that is a concern. Need to stay calm in those moments and not lose control of the game. Apart from 10 minutes after they scored we totally bossed it yesterday, but in those 10 minutes they could have scored a couple more. Something that can be sorted on the training pitch though. Need to switch to no-nonsense football when the opposition get a head of steam up. The best teams do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 It's an easy get out clause to blame everything on the FF affair. I can't imagine most of the players give a poo about it. If people think that we have had only one upsetting issue in the camp since CC has being in charge, then they are living in cloud cuckoo land. With a set of young fit men then there are always going to be all sorts of issues which could ignite and get out of control. At the end of the day once they step on the pitch, what ever issues they may have, should be forgotten and they must play in a professional manner. If they don't thats the start of their decline, dropped, then eased out of the squad then sold on with a poor reputation, which the top clubs take very seriously. Its in all the players interests to get those three points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTacoSWFC Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Just watched the highlights and we were very unlucky... We could have easily been winning 4-0. One gaff by Westwood set us back, otherwise we would have come away with 3 points. Joao looked like he had an ok game too... Apart from... Well...

Flexibiltiy? Dropping the weakest links down the right flank. Replacing with better on the day. Creating chances form the word go. Going down to 10 men, making formation, substitutes & tactical changes to still keep attacking. Ultimately getting some reward. Hardly no plan B is there? Probably a C & D in there too.
