Lord Snooty Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 "We came from a tough period, we lost four times in a row and I think you cannot expect a really nice game from us at that point. Of course you want to win the games but if you don’t win, you must make sure you don’t lose it." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I've never seen a team who keep a clean sheet lose a game so it seems like a sound policy to me but you have to do it on a regular basis and have players who can nick you a goal to win games like they did under carlos …..not sure what we have at the moment are capable of doing that .

Youve summed up Carlos season 2 which was a genuine if boring plan to get out of the division. I’m just not sure there is a plan with Jos - we survived a 0-0 massacre - the team got a clean sheet - but mi underpants were choddified by 90 minutes.

Utah Owl Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Just had my local Blunts mate on the phone. He had no idea that last week was our first clean sheet of the season. Says he's now really embarrassed. RESULT!!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as you start thinking about not winning the game's over. more than one way to win a football match ,the Italian clubs were famous and probably still are for shutting up shop and hope to pinch a goal …….I don't believe though that any side no matter how negatively they set up arnt thinking of winning the game it's just that keeping a clean sheet is there number 1 priority.

United are the only team NOT to have scored against us this season. If I were Jos I would set out to try and win every game 3-2 until the end of the season. Appart from the next Derby, where another clean sheet would be critical. It won't happen, but we really don't need anymore clean sheets now appart from against them.

Ten wins= Thirty points Twenty Draws = Twenty points In scenario two you are unbeaten, but victory will eventually seem impossible and relegation often haunts teams who draw too often. We can't have another Norwich, and theirs been occasion where we have looked just as bad defensively in other games. Personally I think Jos needs to get us defending better further up the field, but creating quality chances is key. We also desperately need one of our Strikers to hit form.

Rogerwyldesmullet Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 We’ve gone from having one of the tightest defences in our history to having one with more holes than .... well maybe just one great big one like the hole in the road of happy memory.
