KivoOwl Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 And breathe... After eight weeks of back to back matches, we finally have a full week until we play our next game. Looking at the performance today, the players might need the rest more than the fans do. Adam Reach, previously our fittest player by a mile, is really struggling at the minute, and understandably his performances have dropped as a result. A week off also gives Jos a bit of time to actually coach the players, rather than just preparing for - and recovering from - games. Leeds away isn't the fixture I'd have hoped for next, but i'm not sure what is. And after that, another fortnight off. Luxury. Just imagine this for a team for the Preston game - Wildsmith Hunt-Venancio-Lees-Pudil-Reach Clare-Hutchinson-Bannan Joao-Nuhiu Subs - Dawson, van Aken, Palmer, Pelupessy, Boyd, Rhodes, Matias 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stringy Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Bannan is the key. We might not tear the league apart because of him alone, but without him it shows how bad some of the rest are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Was looking half decent until I got to the front pairing. Good sensible post though Kivo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Powell Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 for all our sakes ditch the 3 5 2 ,we arnt solid with it. Boyd is wasted as a wing back . We offer nothing going forward. The players dont look comfortable with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reach has got to be wing back and Hutch and Bannan need to come back in midfield once fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markowski77 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Hutch, Bannan, Clare would dicatate and control a midfield it would make such a positive difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 WE NEED BANNAN. BARRY BANNAN I JUST DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Getting Bannan in left midfield, Hutch defensive midfield and putting Reach left wing back will strengthen us no end. Whilst not the finished article by a long shot, we will look a much stronger proposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I thought we'd get a point from these two fixtures. Though I thought we'd draw with Ipswich and lose today as it's always the scrapper teams we really struggle against. Agree with Kivos OP, the manager has been saying for weeks thst he's barely had a chance to properly work with the players with the thick and fast run of games and the need for proper rest in between with our skeleton squad. I'm hopeful that he'll have the opportunity to do so now the fixtures start slimming down a bit. Added to this we have players to come back into the fold. Players who I'm sure will open up his options not just in selection but in system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Let’s hope these players put in a little bit more effort and desire against Leeds. Getting beaten by them would really pi$$ me off on top of all this rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a good time to play them, especially if we can give the players a rest and get Hutch back in the squad alongside Bannan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 When Bannan is back, we’ll play a faster tempo game, and that my friends will make all the bloody difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Reachs left peg Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Time is what jos wanted he now has that, between are next game he has a week now to make a difference to the team and hopefully by Leeds game there will be a few back next Saturday will show if there’s any difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
