OWLISH Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 After close pre-game analysis of Luton's style of play, here's waht we decided to go with last time out: ATTACKERS to sprint to close down their CB to force him to cut out two thirds of teh team DEFENDER to put name on it and head the ball straight up in the air DEFENDERS to clash heads so both miss second ball LAST DEFENDER to dive in nice and early leaving their striker to a one on one Unorthodox but followed to the letter and it worked! They didnt score. But Wycombe will have done their homework, so we will need to tweak a bit. Maybe this time the whole team could rush up past halfway and then appeal for offside? Let's hear your thoughts below. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentwalker Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 When we have the kick off, actually keep it in play and not punt it straight out of touch for a throw would be a start. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This really annoys me. What is it supposed to achieve? Even if we won the decision it's not like we can actually take throw ins. I know we have Paterson now with a long throw, but is that really the best we can come up with. I'm not sure even non league clubs still deliberately boot it out of play for a long throw. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we've no idea how to actually use it. We had Flint hugging the post and it got no where near him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scilly owl Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Get Monk to tell the opposing manager that we will be taking the knee and putting our fingers in our ears for thirty seconds and when the ref blows the second whistle belt down their end and slam it in the net. F•ck protocol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustrates the hell out of me that does, simply giving possession away so easily allowing the opposition time to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hear your thoughts below. If you pause the highlights at 8 seconds we outnumber their players 7 to 4, about 5 seconds later half our players are stood watching the ball, Dawsons doing a crab impression and Flint is heading the ball off the line ive never seen anything like it at the start of a match.

airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Be nice to see us turn up for both halves of football. Probably too much to ask to see men playing in a derby match like their lives depended on it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a massive gripe and it isn’t just us that do it. Teams will do all they can to play out rol the back all game yet from a kick off they are happy to just punt it out for a throw in as if they’re playing rugby union.
