Other - lack of attacking threat, lack of ideas, lack of team identify.

 

A 3-5-2 with wingers who cannot cross a ball (bar Reach) and a 2 that are not strikers so lack they striker nouse.

 

 

Play a formation and style with the players you have and performance and results will improve.

To me, it's pretty clear that one of our main tactics at the moment is to win the ball back from our opponents as high up the pitch as possible and launch a quick counter attack from there.

 

Only Bournemouth have made more interceptions than us at this very early stage of the season, and Brown and Luongo have been central to this approach.

 

It didn't result in a second goal, but after we went ahead in yesterday's game and settled back into a more solid defensive shape (until the loss of Lees), we actually created our two most clearcut chances (Reach and Luongo's) by taking advantage of QPR's increasing desperation to get back on level terms.

 

Our squad is one of the most changed in the Championship, so it's going to take a while to fully click. Hopefully we'll develop other ways of playing as the squad begins to gel and the players have more time to work on attacking plays etc.

 

This.. its pretty clear by us signing more dynamic players and getting rid of tired legs.

 

Getting in Paterson who can make it stick up top until help arrives is also more proof of this tactic.

Organised, hard working but with little cutting edge is how I would describe our play.

 

Yep.

 

Hopefully having a bit of time to work together on the training pitches before our next game will give Paterson and Windass a chance to develop a bit of an understanding with each other and with the rest of the team.

 

We look a well-organised team so far - though individual defensive lapses continue to crop up from time to time - but we really need to find a way to create chances on a more consistent basis if we're going to force the issue a bit more.

Can someone check on the S36 OWL Russian Bot?

His program seems to be stuck on 'post as much Monk hate drivel as much as possible as quickly as possible as repetitively as possible'


To be fair there’s quite few agreeing with him, myself included.

Look at the list of players who we keep picking regularly this season. Not that many changes, other have made more.
