spiderman Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I feel so sorry for our strikers as we don't create chances for them, they are feeding off scraps, Marriot ran his knackers off today and got nothing to feed off, Rhodes has been slagged from pillar to post about his lack of scoring but to me it is a midfield problem that they do not help the strikers out enough, we do not have a box to box midfield player.I would have given Kieran Lee another years contract as i reckon his buzzin' about and darting runs into the box is defiantly what we are lacking, better crosses into the box also not just head down and hit in, get their heads up have a look who's in there and pick out a cross.............Your thoughts? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Service is poor yes. Even gone down the long throw route now... desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wednesday_Jack Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I would love to see bannans assist stats for the last couple of seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) Got to be honest Marriott looks dire. Is he or is it us? Kachunga couldnt look less like a striker. Windass looking less like a striker this season than he did at the end of last season. I sort of like Paterson then the thought enters my head that he’s our replacement for Fletcher. I know most of us hate Rhodes now, but honestly I really think he is our least bad striker. And the one most likely to score.

WalthamOwl Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Our lack of creativity In the team is a massive worry. Without Brown who will miss so many games this season our midfield looks so poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Unless your a big lad and are very good in the air you get nothing to feed off. We crowd a box and let Harris lay it back to Bannan to float it on. We never get in behind or break the lines. Who ever has played up front the last 10 months have had the same problems. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggoisgod Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 The midfield is the biggest problem we have...doesn't support the strikers or protect the back 4 unless Luongo plays Awful sutuation 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every attack we now have 3 strikers in the box. Yet, we cannot for the life of us pick them out. Then when the ball breaks free it goes back deep because Bannan and Pelupessey are about 20 yards away from the 3 in the box. As soon as we do win it we have to go wide because the 3 up top cannot link any play with the midfield and as soon as it goes wide we either fail to get a cross in, fail to beat the first man or it gets defended. We just seem to have no link between mid and attack apart from floaty long balls and poor crosses. Seems like we're trying to play 'simple' football but in a really complicated formation. Its so odd. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 None of them are good enough, I’ve said it along. The service wasn’t great, or hasn’t been great, but that’s how Monk wants us to play, but none of them will reach double figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Early days but I really don’t rate Kachunga. Waste of a signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 A symptom of Monks huff and puff football. It's the only way he knows, hence why you will see Flint playing upfront whenever we are chasing a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it’s almost like we just try to create a set piece situation. We never create overloads out wide. We don’t play through teams. We don’t try and get players inbetween the lines. We don’t get players to the byline to cross. We just get it out wide and put 2/3 in the box and put a cross in from the LB/RB area. It’s like a set piece from open play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks poor in the role he’s being asked to play I completely agree. But signing someone whose proven they can score 12 goals at this level playing RW and using them as a number 10 behind the striker, I find it really harsh to judge him!

jonnyowl Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 If we play 3 at the back then why do Pelupessy and Bannan stand 5 yards away from back 3 to receive the ball. The whole point of playing 3-5-2 is for the two center backs either side to bring the ball out! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 The way we play we need a target man. Paterson puts himself about but he’s no target man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
