Blue and white Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Prior to the Birmingham game he said in interview that we need to be more consistent, may I suggest for the love of god a step in the right direction would be to utilise players in their best positions. This isn't a Carlos out thread just a simple observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelowl Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I would think most would agree with that The answer isn't going to be easy he has created his own problems, he quite simply has too many options and I think he's lost any idea of his best team in trying to keep people happy. We have a jigsaw of a side that will eventually come together - I hope but imo he needs to start looking for a free agent centre-half to partner Lees I heard him again say yesterday he's not bothered about clean sheets I'm afraid our defence agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 We have consistency. Unfortunately however, our defence have the consistency of a meringue: a little bit of pressure and they crumble. We need to become more solid and hard to break down, like an over-cooked rock bun.

Guest BRADFIELDOWLS Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Before the game, the Brum manager confirmed our problem. Not solid enough and too much space when out of possession. We need an animal in the middle and big centre half. Get done in the air way too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 For me Carlos needs to man up, start with Reach, Lee, Bannan and Wallace in the midfield and then it's up to Abdi, Jones, Buckley and the rest to force their way in to the team.

Theres plenty truth in this there is more to winning a game of football than passing teams to death, sides go out every week to intimidate forestieri and its working. Gamesmanship helped win birmingham the game yesterday there constant fouling diving etc got them up the pitch when they were under pressure. We have none of this you need players with a bit more controlled agression and genuine desire to win, watching the leicester game yesterday lowton absolutely clattered albrighton who was having the better of him, in the 93 minute when the game was already won vardy got revenge for his team mate and smashed into lowton on the touchline as a little reminder. Its these kind of things that help players win the mental battle on the pitch and keep the opposition on edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed 100% with that, I was amazed no-one went to offer their support. It did however make me wonder was that due to what the "team" thought / think about FF or was it simply due to no-one saw it as everyone was trotting forward with their backs to play.? Everyone for the main celebrated with him v Wigan so I hope it was the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him, he was an absolute animal. Not tall in stature but a bloody animal. I think Joey Barton would have been a good signing for us in the Summer. a nutter & can upset the dressing room, but I guess no more than FF did.

vontemp Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Bit ironic him asking the players to be consistent given the way he chops and changes the team from one match to the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Joey Barton would have been a good signing for us in the Summer. a nutter & can upset the dressing room, but I guess no more than FF did. i'm not sure barton would be on the field long or often enough to have sufficient effect... just a tad too 'crackpot' for me... he's small and has to put it about... for me if you see a small dog and go to stoke it and it bites you, you give it a kick... if you see a big dog, you think i wonder if that c*** bites and keep away from it... we need some BIG DOGS... some nasty ba$tards IF and when you cross them... carlos hasn't that in him, it's not in his make up, he doesn't understand it, he's not grasped what english football is about... he needs a manager in above him, sadly i'm afraid anyone who cannot see this is in denial, or actually knows little about english football... the passing game carlos has brought is fine, but that alone will not get us up... we need passion, grit, determination, fire, strong running, longer passing to stretch opposition not just 5 yard (invites for someone to clatter you)... and if you want it like morrison did yesterday, free f***** dentistry...

This is 90% of the problem,obviously you have to allow for injuries and suspension but on the whole he should have 11 players in his head who make up the starting line up and this should include 2 wingers. The other then have to push for a place in the team and take there chance when it comes along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
