Not just from set pieces Shopido and Corbeanu offer very little protection down the flanks Moore should have recruited for a particular system, he seems to have just randomly recruited and then trying to fit them in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to be more realistic when it comes to things like this. Yeah, but our chalice is as poisoned as anybody else’s surely? Btw despite that, I still actually think Lowe would seriously consider coming here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right he would. He improved Norwich and Preston in his first couple of years. His problem seems to be players stop listening to him and his teams go backwards after 2-3 years which is why he ends up sacked. But in the short term I think he would put together at team that would see us back in Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started on the front foot, desperately unlucky to not go ahead when Paterson hit the post. That was an excellent move with some really nice football. Corbeanu was a threat all game. And Bannan kept things ticking over nicely. The issue is our defence letting us down. We conceded from a set piece. AGAIN. We played right into Steve Evans hands, letting them get the first goal was a shocker. They just time wasted and slowed things down, fans get wound up, players get nervous. It’s a familiar tale. Generally I think performances are improving - which is a good sign. Ultimately it is a results based business and we’re drawing too many games. I wasn’t a fan of this 3-5-2 as I thought it wasted our attacking options on the bench, but Moore has got it working so the wing backs get into dangerous areas. Which bodes well. I would not pull the trigger on the manager while we’re playing like we are. We need Hutchinson back in defence and I’d get Luongo back in the team ASAP. Just for experience and to provide a bit of calm. Positives - Dunkley playing really well. Johnson actually provides good balance at LCB. Corbeanu looks a real threat at this level. Strikers are scoring goals. Bannan is starting to influence games more and more. Luongo back fit. Negatives - set pieces and drawing games. Needs sorting but if we keep playing like we have done in the past two league games - on the front foot, getting crosses in. I think the wins will come. John Pearson said in commentary that its awful playing against teams who time waste especially when it's as blatant as Gillingham. He said it's difficult to get a rhythm to your game when it's constantly stop start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfcGibbo Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 2 hours ago, Tewkesbury said: He did recruit for a system, he just changed it to a different one. THIS. He recruited an obscene amount of wide players as he planned to play one striker (with two wide attacking players). This is why we were relatively heavy in the centre of midfield too (before injuries). He's now completely changed to the wing back formation with three at the back. It's better but we haven't recruited to play this system. If Luongo stayed fit however I think the current method of using wingers in the wing back positions would work well as he'd offer further protection to the back three.
