0114 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 This wasn’t an out of blue first half. That’s where the frustration comes from. We have scored 1 first half goal in 2020 at home. That’s not right! The way we are approaching games clearly isn’t right. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I want to be positive but I'm struggling, for me we are just waiting for confirmation that this season will be no different to the 2nd half of last season. Hope I'm very wrong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I reckon I could do a better job than Monk. I'd just go in there and say, look, he's an idiot, Kieran, get your kit on, let's get out there and play lads. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldishowl Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 It’s not the system really. With any system you need to show some composure on the ball and look after it. We have looked slightly better when Reach and Bannan get on the ball because they are trying to play football. Launching it down the channels all the time is just too hard for the front men 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0114 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 For the last 12 months if you decided to do nothing but watch the second half of home games... You’d have only missed 3 goals! And... Only once been leading at HT. In. 1. Whole. Year. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s way past it being an unfortunate coincidence. We have led at half time once in 12 months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet I still (when we were allowed to go to games) panic if I'm running a bit late and there's a slight chance that I might not be in my seat for the kick off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 At least with all these centre back injuries, Monk will have to finally ditch this boring and ineffective system 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Originally when 2-3 teams in the league played 352 it took teams by surprise and seemed to be effective. In 2020 you have about 15+ teams playing it and it just causes stalemate. The other teams all expect it and set up for it. It's less effective when you play it with players out of position and with a new squad finding their feet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s quite simple, you don’t play a system that doesn’t suit the majority of players you have. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigash_swfc Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 It seemed at times we had no link between midfield and attack. Luongo was MOTM for me, combative and there's a place for him in this team. (Backup Pelupessy) Bannan, as a deep lying playmaker, contributed well with his passing and assisted in the goal build up. (Backup Hunt) Dele Bashiru has promise and will only get better with game time, but he is occupying the position where we need forward driving runs...and currently not upto scratch for the role. Basically saying we missed Izzy Brown. (Totally forgot we had him) But if Windass is going to be used as a forward and Iorfa goes... We need a CB, CM and another possibly another forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 We haven’t got the players to play this system. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Our wing back options like our full back options are sh!t. If you want to be a team that continually gets the ball into the box then that’s the first area Monk should’ve addressed. I’m amazed he cites Brendan Rodgers as one of his biggest influences. Rodgers would throw up watching the percentage attritional sh!t that Monk’s teams serve up? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the system It’s ok but we don’t play football which is how the system was designed you can’t play 3 at the back and long ball. To be honest I’d play 442 but under monk It doesn’t matter what we play he’s inept 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
