Lucas Joao's Tooth Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Playing 1 upfront you have to dominate the midfield, we failed to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is not solid enough, creative enough or streetwise enough. Spot on Historically we always struggle first season back in this league. I said before the season started we would be mid table but hoping we could push for 6th spot. It's looking increasingly like mid / lower table for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a lone striker completely isolated most of the time. Our wingers don’t seem to be able to create things or beat a man (Shodipo tried today though). A central midfield which seems to lose the midfield battle for large parts of the game. We seem to gift the opposition so much time and space around our final third and down our wings. We continually invite pressure on ourselves by playing out from the back. Every other pass is backwards. Apart from the opening 30 minutes against Fleetwood and the second half against Rotherham it’s not been working. We’ve had two weeks on the training ground and we came out today looking like they’ve all been out potting last night. Moore needs to get this sorted out ASAP. Agree with all of this. We were ok for a short spell in the first half (around the half hour mark) and slightly better in the last ten minutes (other than their goal) but the rest was atrocious. I’m not advocating total hoofball, but let’s play the game in the opposites’ half instead of inviting pressure by passing it round our penalty box and then clearing it in a panic when their attackers close the ball down. We’re not great at fashioning clear cut chances either so play the percentages game - get the ball in their box more and be positive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmJimmers Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Might be worth getting the captain on and asking if that was worth a few hundred quid it would have cost for Wednesday fans to be there today. Or we could try not to upset them too much and have no consequence for a complete no show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imre Varadi Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Jesus wept...that was beyond ridiculous!! Not many positives from that s h i t e.....near the end of the first half,their left winger tried to get 2 crosses in and Hunt wasn't even on the screen ffs!!!

They were playing us not Manchester bl00dy City for Gods sake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentwalker Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 At the moment I just don't understand the forward line. If it's a 3 it's a very wide 3 the two wide players offer zero goal threat due to their position apart from a cross. But there's fek all to cross it to.

marshy Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Plymouth got it bang on and celebrated like they had won a final. They won’t play like that each week. The point we must learn and quickly is that teams will treat playing us like a cup final and we must Be up for it for the word go and we were nowhere near up for it. I don’t want to get into a blame game, but that midfield needed some beef from the off. Worryingly we’ve had 2 weeks training and come up with very little. Now you need to earn your corn Mr Moore and sort this. Im not in the promotion camp, I never was, but I expect better performances than that.

bigdan2003 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Still a long old season to go. No need to completely lose our sh*t just yet. But we’ve really got to learn how to play in this league, we can’t expect to go into games thinking the opposition are going to stand off us and let us knock the ball around. And Moore needs to learn what his next option is when it’s not working. We have some good players, who need to adapt to a more direct style, and be more physical. We got bullied at times today. But let’s be fair, there has been a lot of change and a lot of players brought in. I do think we need to have some patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOT jack whitham Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Just now, Crofty_11 said: No plan B. If that’s the style of football he brings, he’ll be gone by Christmas. Nothing changed in the second half. Playing ourselves into trouble, passing backwards, no movement, ineffective Bannan dancing & prancing around with no bite. Utter ******** poo. Could be another Megson-Jones type scenario. Moore puts a decent squad together, but another man finishes the job off. Appalling, embarrassing & abysmal. Bannan is more interested in showing off his flicks than doing anything positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having patience is fine, and yes it is a long season with plenty of points still to play for, but getting beat of diddy poo like Morecambe and hammered off another diddy team in Plymouth should never be acceptable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
