Owly Mowly Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 The last couple of Home games, I think we are starting to see how we will aim to play under Jos. This isn’t going to be about a lot of possession, but keeping solid and organised as priority 1. When we have the ball, we look to get it moving quickly and dynamically and ok, we may not keep the ball every time that well, but will be trying to get the ball in the net as quickly as we can - without any of the sideways passing we have seen earlier this season. This is why joao and Nuhiu have benefited in recent games. This style certainly doesn’t fit Ross Wallace’s style of play, and will need players who think quick, get head up, look forward for incisive movement. Next season = low possession stats but plenty of goals and wins (We hope). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djorkaeff Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Good. Most goals are scored on the first phase of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owly Mowly Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 Strikers want that ball early - not waiting and waiting and waiting for the ball to be played - they know it’s gonna come early - they can gamble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wath-owl Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Yep, give me that over the laborious tippy-tappy passing amongst the back four that Carlos insisted upon. If you've got players with the attributes that Forestieri/Joao/Nuhiu/Hooper possess then get the bloody ball in the attacking third as quickly as possible and let them cause havoc. It doesn't really need to be any more complicated than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep! Keep it simple stupid. It can be all all too easy to over complicate things as we saw with Carlos here and there. Goals win you games, not possession or any other stats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pussface Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I must admit now a few of the senior players are back the youngsters feel more comfortably integrated. Suddenly everyone looks like they know what they’re doing, which really wasn’t the case is his first three months here. Here’s to a proper preseason. Also fast acting in the transfer market is key.

So it's a straight swap for me. I am a fan of Pelupessy too. He's done a good job since coming here, and clearly has an outstanding attitude, but Lee is a different gravy altogether.

The Night-Owl Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Sounds a bit like Cardiff this season under Colin. I'm up for physical direct football if it's effective and carries on bringing results and better service for our forwards. We'll still need to bring in more of what we've needed ever since Wembley pace and power to effectively play that way next season but the signs are encouraging with Jos. Let's hope we build upon our good finish to the season, bring in what we need and take some positivity and momentum into next season. Who knows maybe next season we might do what Cardiff did this season after near misses followed by a season of struggle and change of manager, from mid table to a surprise promotion.

pgmetcalf Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Wasn't impressed by our defensive marking, closing down play and in my opinion playing high crosses into the box instead of cutting in or pulling in back. Look at Wolves, they hardly ever put in a cross but always got it square onto the net before having a crack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mkowl Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 The other huge key was fitness levels. A big part of our end of season success was not only getting key players on the pitch but also that our players looked in better condition than the opposition. So yes in part that would have been burn out catching up with other squads but more the benefits of the initial work Jos did. I think our players will grasp the season starts in the first week of August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Its obvious that Jos likes mobile quick players , also he is not a fan of the over the hill brigade . I have to say Pulpessey has grown into his role , Lee is a better all round player but I think there is room for them both , probably Lee right wing back .
