Popular Post TodwickOwl Posted September 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2021 Losing faith, despite the clanger - we don’t carve chances open, we’ve hardly tested the keeper at all Really really poor and we don’t look like a side that looks to kick on after taking the lead - we sit and absorb, we don’t take it by the scruff of the neck and look to put it to bed. We should be seeing some sort of patterns of how we play now - but it’s turgid football, nothing is slick - it’s sloppy, can’t believe the amount of misplaced passes. At this rate DM won’t make it to Xmas - that’s not down to player errors, we purely won’t score enough goals and with the wealth of talent we should be making more chances 15 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trev Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Yup. We are awful. Really bad. We created nothing. We aint going up...we will be lucky to be midtable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Don’t think it’s time to make a decision yet, although you never know with Chansiri he can be ruthless or over patient. All the recruitment that I thought was excellent in the summer seems now like there was no plan for what role any of the players were being brought in for. Too many square pegs in round holes when our squad has plenty of options in each position. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not completely convinced by the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 This team should be performing much better. For years now it looks like we don't train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0742 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 There's just no intensity to our play at all. When you have creative players like Bannan and Wing, along with the energy of players such as Adeniran, Shodipo and Berahaino and yet you look as one paced as we do, you know it's the manager and tactics that is the issue. We have the makings of a squad that can really storm this league, but we're looking more relegation fodder than even mid table. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DoesJackHunt Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Gregory was really isolated again. We need to get people around him. Surely whoever’s is wide on the other side of the pitch needs to come closer to him when we have possession on the opposite flank and the wide players should probably sit higher and narrower generally. We could then try and go more direct to Gregory and get them playing off him. We don’t offer much in the final third at the moment. Much work ahead !

Bang on No energy or intensity whatsoever - and we have pace in the side. Id be looking to bullet Moore in 3 games or less if things don’t change - style or play, chances created. It’s needed to save the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Watch the League One play offs last season and feared we were well off the pace and intensity required. The worst part about that being true is the lack of tempo is seemingly dictated by the manager, and not the players not being able to execute a fast paced game plan.

And not completely convinced by the system. Absolutely. Brought in Corbeanu & Sow to play outwide and he’s using Berahino who is a 9/10 to fill the role, also used Bannan on the right last week. The system is just ponderous possession football, we create very little from open play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl Be Back Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Yeah, he was like this at WBA. Squad there should have competed, and arguably stormed, the league and instead his team overpassed the ball during games and slid out of contention. He isn't the answer but I think we'll struggle to get anyone better in as we've still got to get over our bad reputation in the wider footballing world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperwinngardensowl Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 You might not be convinced, but every game we play is convincing me he was a poor appointment, and I like to give managers plenty of time and leeway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TodwickOwl Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 In fact, I think I’ve seen enough after 8 games. Bullet him now before it’s too late - it’s plainly obvious he can’t find his best side, has no Plan B and we will as said above - overpass it till the cows come home.

Onge Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I'm so fed up of us creating so little. We NEVER kill teams off. 1-0 away from home but not looking like we really wanted that second goal. It's so frustrating. It's not a one-off either. We've been like this for YEARS. Conceding so many late goals is infuriating. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel. Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 It’s important we give a manager time. Always been the case since DM arrived. However, I am concerned that the attacking football he wants to deploy doesn’t turn up and this is ignored post game in the media. A combo of not creating much and then giving goals away is costing us dearly. In truth we should be able to accommodate the odd clanger at this level and just make the most of the attacking talent we have. Even some of the worst swfc sides I’ve seen have created and scored chances in this league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
