NobbyStyle Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 It takes time but we should be doing better than this ffs. It seems to be maybe an inability to understand the opposition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Bostrom's dog Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Plenty of time to gell. Honest manager with a big heart. Everyone in this league still want to beat us. A draw is not the end of the world. Onwards and upwards hopefully. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like the formation. Don't like our main striker, he's not mobile enough. For the formation. Wing looks like Izzy brown. Bannan is overplaying the ball. The keeper isn't an upgrade. Hunt urrghh not sure. Behrinio isn't fit Theo looks like a rabbit in headlights. Love our number 7, can watch him all day. Agree with all this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 All very disjointed at the minute. What concerns me most is that we can play for half an hour, but after that lose control as tempo slows and after 60 minutes blowing out our arses, no forward movement and backwards passing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_vinyl_frontier Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 We are so desperately in need of decent strikers. Gregory is poor. Berahino looks good but I doubt he will play many over the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOwl72 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 DM isn’t alone. How many ‘good managers are there out there? It’s a closed shop for ex pros with the best contacts. It reeps what it shows. Most managers can’t ‘manage’. Football is over complicated today with pundits etc. The game is simple and a good manager will get the best out of his team. DM doesn’t seem to have any insight into what his best team is or how to set us up. He’s going week to week looking for some magic to happen. It’s a shambles. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck Rogers Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 1 point and 1 goal from Morecambe, Plymouth and Shrewsbury. The players are up for it. The tactics are poo . Play two up front and attack please. The crowd need whipping up with pressure and attempts on goal. Can't get the crowd going playing backwards and sideways. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 What I find frustrating is we were excellent for 30 mins. Any one of the three or four good chances go in and we are flying. Then we miss the pen and just turn to dog poo. What’s happening that we are so fragile? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scilly owl Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Moore should ring up Ryan Lowe and pick his brains a bit. ”Ryan, you’ve got a team of players that I’ve never heard of… well, maybe two of them I might have heard of…anyway, how did you get them to play like an enthusiast , organised , energetic, technically competent well oiled machine, and on half the salaries of my lot ? My team are mostly, if not all, championship players and I can’t get a tune out of them. They just surrender if they don’t get things their way. Come on Ryan, spill the beans” I’m sure that he’d help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s extremely worrying, reminds me of the Chris Turner era signing lots of new players but couldn’t get them to play so Sturrock came in, feels like it’s playing that way again. Sturrock was a top manager at this level. Who is the next one in line? All those we were linked with, previously, other than DM aren't doing it now. It may eventually have to be someone with promotions on the CV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 When we were good for the first half an hour we moved the ball very quickly from the back to the attacking players via the midfield. That’s what playing out from the back is supposed to be. Fast, accurate passing to players who are making themselves available for the ball. When we start to look ropey it’s because our passes go astray, we get caught in possession, we struggle to win the ball back and the defenders look like they have just met each other! Our substitutions don’t have any positive impact on the game. I can almost see our style of play in patches but I really don’t think Moore knows what his best 14 players are never mind best 11. He has to figure it out soon though or a mid table finish looks certain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOwlsofDodworth Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 The players got in their heads today. Stopped doing what was working and instead did the Wednesday thing we do at Hillsborough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my main concern/frustration It's like we are into the season but playing around with the starting lineup and formations like it's the start of pre-season That's the main frustration for me. Not the results but the lack of understanding Was thinking exactly the same after about an hour. What is our playing style ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the Morecambe game really - battered them early doors but didn’t put the game to bed, got punished via a scruffy goal, then lost all semblance of shape trying to break them down and were fairly lucky not to concede again. We’ve not controlled a game for the full 90 minutes yet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those first few games didn’t necessarily flatter us, but probably raised people’s thoughts expectations far more than what they should have been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would be nice for us to have a highly rated manager who actually gets results. I thought Moore was meant to be highly rated and then his Doncaster supporters pretty much said they’ve drive him to S6. Callum Davidson at St Johnstone seems to be working some minor miracles up north, might be one for other clubs to look out for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the results but the lack of understanding I agree we don't seem to be any closer to nailing down a formation and a good understanding but for me our continued failure to deal with adversity on the pitch is just as bad. For half an hour today we were really good, there was only one result possible had we deservedly made it two or three early on but after the penalty miss we went backwards and never really got any flow second half. Just like the last time Bannan missed a pen at that end, we went downhill and failed to get the result we should have. Just like when we go behind or concede a goal, we all too often fail to recover and lose our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
