Good points, and I think they highlight the problem we've been facing. Playing out from the back requires skilful defenders who can place a ball, they require vision, and also the ability to pass and move. It's rare to find those qualities at this level even in players who play in more advanced positions, let alone at the back. They also need to be cool under pressure, and the understanding between each other and the keeper needs to be almost telepathic. That's a big ask in the Third.

The stat of something like 8/9 shots on target in 4 league games is an early symptom of a side that can't play attacking football. And supposedly that's what Moore is all about, and somewhat supposedly we have a lot of players that you would expect to see playing for clubs at the top end of this league. It must must must improve. I'm increasingly feeling that we have too many players in and it dilutes the sort of tight-knit group feeling you need to consistently win football matches. If you're going to have a big squad, you need a football manager that can handle that. Moore strikes me as the type of character that could lead a small tight-knit group to playing well above their station. You need to be a big big personality to keep so many players focussed and feeling together, especially when many are new and/or here on loan.

At least in the last 15, they should 40 yards up field. Come on Be fair If they did that everyone would be screaming they should have been playing it safe and seeing the game out Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You expect a highly paid professional to act in a professional manner, not make a basic error of judgement. You might just expect him to be aware of the space around him ffs ? This isn’t rocket science. He screwed up big time (whatever Moore’s style of football is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I could raise a smile if a few of our wingers could waltz past a few opposing wide midfielders. As well as the MOTM award we should have a WWW award Wizard Waddle Winger get us on the edge of our seats. Just So Drab ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nile Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Wouldn’t matter one jot all these player mistakes if we actually played to win a game of football other than 1.0. mistakes are highlighted far more when it costs points. if that happens when 3.0 up we all laugh about it. blame lies at the managers feet for his constant negative system.

vulva Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 This playing out from the back is laughable. Man City started it, with their £500mn back 5. Funnily enough, it kind of works with that level of investment. 2 minutes left. Launch the thing into the the corners, box em in and give away a free kick if they look like getting out. And then repeat until he blows his whistle. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We miss a penalty last week and make a risible error this week. 4 points thrown away in games we weren't even that good in. The other team can't score if the ball is in their half. If you don't shoot you can't score. It really is that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
