TodwickOwl Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 22 shots on target in 8 games 7 goals scored In comparison - MK Dons have the highest in the league, more than double our total at 47 shots on target and would you believe it - they’ve scored the most in the league with 17 goals. We seriously need to start looking at our attacking phase of the game because we don’t look like scoring at all - Gregory isolated, no intensity coming forward. It’s boring. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 This is the biggest thing for me We have a striker who is meant to be quite good at League One level. We supposedly have the best creative midfielder in the league. We have a player who Rotherham fans salivated over last season at the level above. It is unacceptable that we cannot create decent chances consistently. One or two games, fair enough, it happens... but this is consistent. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Trying to figure out where the system is wrong. Can’t quite put my finger on it because 4-3-3 isn’t completely alien and is used by clubs up and down the country. Wing I think is playing too deep. He should be furthest forward? Gregory is isolated, but we don’t seem to get crosses into the box? The fullbacks don’t really bomb on. I’d just go 4-4-2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve got a good gauge now on how we should play - and it’s not going to get us enough goals to get us out this division They look shackled in all honesty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Gregory isolated. Wingers non existent. Bannan has been mostly ineffective further up the pitch. Wing playing out of position. Full backs supposed to be bombing forward whipping crosses in - rarely happens and when it does it’s a poor cross or nobody in the box! I don’t think Gregory has ever played as a lone striker before, and if Berahino is supposed “to come alive in the box” according to DM then why play him on the wing! It’s a combo of poor formation, tactics (playing out of the back) and square pegs/round holes with players playing out of position imho. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul G Wisbech Owl Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 We have been way too slow moving the ball from the back to the front for the past couple of seasons. By the time we have passed the ball across the back a couple of times and crawled up to halfway, the opposition have all eleven players behind the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debram Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Moores tactics have not worked from day 1, he needs to change or go but I honestly don't think he knows what to do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
