When I team is on the ascendancy (and thus playing in a way that affords them control of the game), why change things to play more defensively (and with 25 minutes to go, might I add). That in no way can be mistaken for having faith in the abilities of your players. When you sit back, you invite pressure. Why even assume the increased pressure in the first place when your on the front foot? It was just a self-fulfilling prophecy yesterday to bring Pelupessy on and go with two sitting midfielders to prepare for an increased amount of pressure. It was what gave fuel to the pressure. We were easily dealing with QPR's 'pressure' up until Lees went off, and created our best clear-cut opportunity of the game hitting them on the break in the final few minutes of the 90. It's a valid tactic which countless managers use. How you equate that with having no faith in their players, I don't know. Link to post Share on other sites

Ray Von shabba 1,518 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I'm neither Monk in or out at the moment but he does seem to make strange decisions. With 20/25 minutes to go yesterday QPR weren't really causing us much concern and we looked like taking all 3 points. So why use our last sub and change the tactics to holding and inviting them on and what happened is just deja vu, as it's happens time and time again. I see why some get over frustrated. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

It's a valid tactic which countless managers use. How you equate that with having no faith in their players, I don't know. I understand full-well about the tactic of hitting teams on the break, my point is why did we revert from a position of having control of a game by playing on the front foot (a period which got us the lead), to one whereby we invite the pressure upon us with the goal of hitting a team on the break? Given the defensive injuries we'd endured yesterday, why change tactic to invite more pressure on the defence, when the tactic which we'd hitherto employed in that half (and which actually had got us the lead, after all) was working?

Emilianenko 2,489 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Our current points per game average would see us end the season on 45 points (following the deduction), which is just below the average points required to stay up in the Championship (46). This doesn't even fctor in the inevitable Garry Monk second half of season collapse. I'd say we are up a certain creek without a paddle. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I never thought we looked in control of yesterday's game, certainly not to the extent that we could feel comfortable with our lead. Although we looked the more likely to score for most of the second half, we weren't controlling QPR or stopping them from being able to get forward. Dele Bashiru looked like he was tiring, which is understandable in the first league start of his career. If we hadn't taken him off, we may have conceded more clear-cut chances on our goal...and we'd have had posters on here slating Monk for not changing things. As it was, the switch meant that we looked fairly comfortable in defence, were frustrating QPR's attacking intentions, and we're creating the better chances ourselves....until injuries forced us to play with ten men.
