A E Neuman NYowl Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I raised this point last week " Do we do out homework" A staggering 32% of the goals that we have conceded in the league this season have come in the first 10 mins. This at time when most teams are switched on and concede on average of just 9%. Guess how many goals we have scored in the first 10 mins. None, thats right a big fat zero. There must be something wrong with the preparation to be so slow out of the blocks. We really need to look at our starting tactics and prep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mkowl Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Wow that is pretty shocking and pretty damning for the players and head coach alike. Watching Soccer Saturday the one comment that stood out from the fella at the game was the tempo and intent they show from the off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just off the top of my head I can think of games against Sunderland, Brentford, pigs and Bolton where we've conceded this early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be something to do with warm up or final gee up before they go out. Teams are now wise to it and go at us from off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching Soccer Saturday the one comment that stood out from the fella at the game was the tempo and intent they show from the off This why we will never be competitive again until Carlos is gone. He's not a bad manager, but the spark we've had the first 18 months just isn't there anymore. Same goes with the players we have, it all comes down to tempo. I know we were going as hard as we could down a man the whole game, but christ there about 7-8 times I noticed down our right hand side from either Lee, Wallace, or Hunt when a bit more pace and direct running would have split them apart. But every single time they'd go for it they'd hesitate and play it back, or just simply got shut down because none of them are fast enough to play directly like that. The only players we have in the squad that can play direct like that are Boyd, Matias, and Joao but Carlos never plays them when they are healthy. We've simply just ran out of ideas at this point, it's very disheartening. Like I'm not even angry or anything, I just know it's over and disappointed by it; like the finals days before you eventually break up with your SO after trying over and over and it isn't working. I'd also like to see Matt Penney play on the wing as our wingers just don't have any pace like he does and we need that in our game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mkowl Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 The old saying was that you had to win the initial battle to then go out and then play your football. We just want to do the football bit Unfortunately clubs know this and get at us from the off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
