madowl47 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Ok Dave youve got this up on youre mobile. - well done Is there any chance tonight you could * Get more than three players in and around the penalty area when we attack * Play the defence higher up the pitch enabling the midfield to concentrate on football and not marathon running * Play two up front and actually give them something to think about. * Not rely too heavily on Antonio doing the damage - let everyone know they are a team. * Ask Mr Bothroyd to actually turn up and play for his pride never mind the shirt. * Oh and a 3-0 win too if you dont mind. Actually concentrate on the points above and the win will follow. Ill be interested tonight what the experts say if we defend deep again.

EatMyGOAAAALLLLL Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Playing the defence higher up the pitch would have been devastating against Blackpool. Who'd win a race between Ince/Phillips and Gardner/Llera? Our defence isn't blessed with pace so we have to play to accomodate our strengths. We'd be conceding loads from counter attacks if we played high up the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee A Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Completely agree about getting bodies in the box, Barkley, McCabe, Bothroyd and/or JJ and even when the opportunity is there Semedo really need to make a lot more of an effort in this area. Not sure bout the defence playing much higher though, just leaves room to run in behind, Llera and Gardener might be solid, but they are seriously slow.

You can read the game all you want but if our defence is pushed high up and the ball goes over their heads they aren't catching players with pace no matter how good they are. I agree we should push out at times, like when we clear corners/freekicks etc, but standing high up the pitch whenever we can isn't always the best way.

theowlsman Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 DJ, can you please ensure Lines and Reda are getting the best medical attention going. They will turn things around for us, mark my words. I am rarely wrong on these matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a centre half pairing and I know you know this. One defender drops off and one goes for the ball. With us defending deep its our midfielders that are going for alot of the headers from punts forward. Meaning they are in a starting position for any attacks which is far too deep. I reaise you have to be careful with the ball over the top however as I say reading the game right and the pace of Buxton and Jones should be ample cover.

ry3owl Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 We Will Win! I take it as stated we are infact playing the same line-up as tuesday ? Cog up front on his own an a defensive side ? Id like to see a mixture we need the attacking side that we had when we was scoring 3 goals a game suppose it depends on the team your playing.... roll on tonight!!
