Our only way of transitioning the ball from defence to attack was trying to lump it to our CB at RW. It’s the most over complicated system I’ve ever seen. When things aren’t going well you need to get back to basics. We are a team devoid of confidence and lost for ideas. Its laughable as much as it is embarrassing, it really is Sunday league stuff. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if Monk has considered turning him into a wing-back, or even a centre-back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scilly owl Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I’m not sure that we have any tactics. Also... I thought that Beattie was going to turn our strikers into.... well... strikers. We have lots of forwards but none of them seem to have a flippin clue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 If you are going to be a long ball team then be that, hoof it up field, massive strong players, win the 2nd ball. We are just nothing, we play crap football without fully committing to the hoof ball style and end been well, nothing, just utter dross. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it or not we are long ball - the stats say we play less short passes than most and more long balls than most at this level. Imagine being a long ball team without a target man or midfield hustlers. Does Monk still think he has put Fletcher in the team every game?

Strikers rely on service for a good few years now for a striker to succeed at Wednesday they need to get the ball hoofed up to them take it down on the chest 40 yards out from goal, turn and take on 4 defenders before smashing one into the top corner from the edge of the box. We just need somebody that can do that 30 times a season and we are laughing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngowl Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I've supported Monk upto today, but I just switched off when they scored I've seen some bad performances during my 60 years of watching and this was up with them. I dont think he knows what to do anymore. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest REDAs_biG_piECE Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Been saying the same since December 2019 but unfortunately the Owlstalk experts and latterly the site admin censored my opinions Monk should be long gone for one simple reason alone - Westwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigash_swfc Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 And when Matt Penney would come in handy next season in League 1, we'll not have him because we didn't give him a chance now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 His brand of football is honestly some of the worst I’ve ever seen at Hillsborough and that’s no mean feat considering we’ve been rubbish for 20 years. Football that makes your eyes bleed and doesn’t get results... what’s the point? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshfish Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 ...Bannan and Pellupessy together anywhere near midfield..and then adding Reach. Other managers must just look and laugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A E Neuman NYowl Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 The football we are playing at the moment looks like it has come out of a museum. Hoofball and relying on long throws ala Wimbledon in the 80s. This awful to watch but I could put up with it if it was getting us results, but we just don't have the players to play this way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Theboylangers Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 We have a strike force of non-scoring strikers. In addition to this, we don't create many chances. We have no idea how to attack teams. It's no surprise we are seeing Sheffield Wednesday-nil in our home games. Something drastically needs to change in our home tactics.

That's it. Sacrificing some style for substance in our position would be understandable. We have no style and very little of any substance either. The means are not being justified by the end.

Flint going forward goal kicks (WTAF) Don't mind number one really, his throw is excellent. However, the second one is just ridiculous. When I saw it I had flashbacks to Hutch playing attacking midfield at Wigan again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
