jrh Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Why did we start 442/4411? 433 has looked like it could work well for us and with nando on the left side and Harris on the right side that gives us chance for them to get the ball in positions where they are more threatening. Then changing the formation to 3 at the back and putting Harris left wing back was an absolute joke. Why not just put reach to left back and play 433 again. I wanted Bullen to get the job but I feel he has cost himself it today unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.. Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Shouldn't have changed formation to include Forestieri, think he bowed to the pressure of the fans complaining about his lack of gametime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forestieri could have slotted straight in the left wing position. Harris right putting crosses in with stronger foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left side is perfect for Forestieri, he doesn't want to defend, Fox doesn't want to attack plus Forestieri can cut onto his right for shots.

Suzuki_San Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 It was like watching someone play Football Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Sad to say, but its because Bullen isn't a manager. Naive, inexperienced and doesn't IMO control the players and demand respect as anything other than a coach. It's like letting a nurse have a go at heart surgery because they've seen surgeons do it for the last 6 years.

Rev Owl Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Bullen doesn't seem to command the respect of the players by his own admission. In post match interview with Radio Sheffield he said he told them what to do before the game and during it and they didn't do it. He also said they'd played in second gear and not given their all. It speaks for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 He didn’t know what to do. The 343 he tried to play ended up being more a flat back 5. We couldn’t get out. QPR well and truly deserved 3 points today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hack-Abusi Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Forestieri doesn't want to play left wing or whatever. Wants to be centre id attention then ends up flopping and producing jack poo .. abject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animis Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 It's the personnel as well as formation - we lack players with presence, energy and pressing all over the pitch - been like this for 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Games are won and lost in central midfield and ours was pathetic today particularly in the 2nd half. Time and time again when possession turned over there was literally nobody in there, giving QPR time and space to pick their passes. Absolutely unbelievable at this level of football that this can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The set up was wrong and as for the substitutions / change of formation; mind boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
