WAWAWUTO17 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Jos... The team selection from the start was wrong. To me he viewed Forest as a weaker opponent to Villa and it has backfired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Down South Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Players need to take a look at themselves - don't think selection was so blatantly poor, it's not like we have an embarrassment of riches to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Very similar to before we played Villa at home last season Even rats learn, Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMortimer Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 The title of the thread gave away the calibre of it's content. Why do some people have this compulsion for a clearly defined (and often singular) scapegoat? The manager picked a similar side to the one that had been doing well lately. Don't see at all why this should justify such criticism. The defensive approach is a slightly different matter, but it has been getting positive results. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

full fathom five Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I'd rathe blame our tactics of having our two central midfielders playing twenty yards shy of our own half and then wondering why we look so poor going forward and can't hold the ball up in their half (first half particularly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tactics, regardless of the selection (though that worries me) scares me if im being honest. I said after our first game and poor summer recruitment (for obvious reasons) that i fear we are relegation material, at best bottom eight under Jos. That's not to say i blame everything on Jos, he's been dealt a poor hand but he's a poor card player and doesn't make the most of the cards he's dealt.

I'm truly lost for words, despite the loss we've picked up 10 points from last 5 games. He's got our promising youth involved and sorted the fitness issues out gradually and hasn't had a crack at the transfer window. 8 games in and 2 points off the play offs. This is the kind of reaction I'd expect after a run of 8 games without a win, get a grip people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For once I agree, the players need to stop going through the motions on a weekday, they clearly do not give a to55 sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the kind of reaction I'd expect after a run of 8 games without a win, get a grip people! The majority of criticism that I've seen on here tonight has been constructive and fair. We've played almost 20% of this season's league games and over half of those fixtures, we've failed to win. I respect and understand that Luhukay has done a reasonable job so far in his tenure here. But let's not try and pretend everything is hunky dory right now; the results have been underwhelming with the talent we have in this squad IMO. And we're already falling behind the promotion-chasers. 1 hour ago, Geedee said: Those criticising team selection should name the team they would have picked. What will that achieve when many fans, if given the choice, would be selecting Westwood to organise and lead our defence. Yet, the club have put a stopper on the guy taking to the field.

Swiss Toni Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Barring the inclusion of Onomah for Pelupessy the side (apart from Fox) was no different to most this season. Just too many had an off day personally. Only Bannan in midfield had any drive, Reach and Onomah gave the ball away too much and it didn't work playing Onomah in the holding role. Also only Joao made any impression up top as Nuhiu and Matias were non-existent. You can't expect to win with so many having an average day. Jos (or any backroom staff) only ventured into the technical area about 3 times all game, I'd like a bit more passion in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William 1867 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Jos out. No structure in play, Best players not used or played in strongest position i.e. Reach. Best goal keeper not on the frame. i could go on. Jos out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owlinator Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Reach,Matias and joao for me are lost in this formation away from home. It looks like they don't know what to do and where to go. With Dave also up top it's like playing with 7 men, none of them invoved enough leaving Bannan and Onomah trying to do everything. It doesn't help when we keep giving ball away constantly. Edited September 20, 2018 by Owlinator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
