Nero Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Its necessary to drag the attackers forward and create space further up the pitch. Every team does it. Except Gillingham. You Neanderthals need to get over it. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said for a while now, don't try to turn certain players into something they ain't. Let them do what they do best. If you really have to play that way, which I don't think we do, then recruit the ball playing CB's which come at a cost as they don't tend to be available on free transfers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be done straight away couldn't it and save the first pass out to Dunkley 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 We are getting the balance much better recently. Gone is the endless, pointless, danger-filled tippy tippy tappy torture we were put though previously. Its used still but far less. And we do it more confidently as a result. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassetts Allsorts Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I thought we got the balance right last night, played out from the back at times and then more direct when we needed to. The return of Luongo, Windass and Byers definitely helped, all comfortable with the ball and confident in finding the right pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeadonowl Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 We don’t move the ball quick enough to pass around any press I’ve no issue with playing out from the back I just wish we’d try and inject some urgency to the play 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Watching Iorfa and Dunkley playing out from the back early on in the season was like watching a car crash, even last Saturday at Stanley Dunkley gave the ball away on his first attempt and that pass was to Luongo BPF is a good distributor of the ball so let him do it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren H Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 i would rather BPF kick it up the field and then compete for the first and second ball, when we did it last night it worked well, we were winning our fair share and then attacking in their half, decent pressing teams work us out, force the players back to BPF who then ends up kicking in a hurry.

S72 Owl Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Felt the booing was unnecessary in the first half, and was a bit disappointed to hear it. There’s a time and a place to play out from the back and I never thought we looked under pressure when we did it last night. Yes the build up was slow but that’s because the opposition were well drilled and sat quite deep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nut Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 The keeper playing goal kicks short to defenders inside their own box is the most ridiculous thing about the modern game. Even the top clubs come unstuck doing it. Would love to know how many teams build an attack and score from this tactic against how many goals are conceded doing it. It's a simple game - get the ball forward and wide and get balls into the box. Don't commit suicide in your own area. It was great to hear the fans boo this when we tried it last night.

swfcmonkey Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I'm 40 years old and the game has changed massively from the old lump it and compete for the 2nd ball. I don't want to see BPF just hoof it up field. As long as the balance is right then this style of football is the way forward. We adapted against Sunderland to a different style and again last night at times went a little more direct. Once we get the players back we will be a decent outfit at this level. 14 new players was always going to take a little time to gel. I'm not a happy clapper btw but my patience has grown over the years and i can actually see what Moore is trying to attempt with this bunch. Stick with it WAWAW 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwellOwl Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Playing out from the back is improving and will take time. Like everything this season, fans need to be patient whilst we build and we are beginning to see the rewards for the change within the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is total bullsh*t, if you have players like Man City then maybe, dont think anyone has seen a stunning example of how that benefits any side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camffiti Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Being riddled with a philosophy, lacks common sense For example Chey Dunkley clearly isn't comfortable playing out from the back. When he's being closed down & hesitates / panics on the ball, let him makes the sensible decision (for him) The safest way for us to do it, is for Bannan to pick the ball up from the backline ... But our fanbase loses its sh*t when takes responsibility, in that way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But our fanbase loses its sh*t when takes responsibility, in that way If Luongo can stay fit he’s surely the man to pick up from the defenders. It allows Bannan to get into more attacking positions as he did for that great assist for Windass last night. It’s a big if but Luongo is key to the way Moore want his side to play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkley lost the ball on Saturday at Accrington when it was 0-0 they missed by inches, could have been a totally different outcome, we're not Italy Euro champions and the masters at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 It’s not about passing out the ball or hitting the ball long; it’s about playing the right ball You have to be able to do both, and we can. As someone said the balance is much better 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
