Mister Soul Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I’m still convinced it was tactical but playing compact and tight away in the first leg is common practice by numerous successful teams over the years. if we’d played with width (Hunt) it would have made it a more open game. Which usually I welcome (as that’s when we’re at our best). As it stands I’m very comfortable with the result 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the game where they had the luxury of resting key players due to having secured playoffs earlier whilst we had a team of walking injured and players coming back from injuries, and drew 0-0 not losing 1-0. The only issue i have with thise games are our record signing not having the balls to take a penalty and FF putting in a half hearted attempt.

I’m sure he wanted to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legendaryswan Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Played way too many long balls, straight down the throats of their CBS, ball kept coming straight back and resulted in us defending way too deep and stifled the creativity in our MF as the WBs were all busy defending and unable to provide the wide outlet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHERSTATE Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I don't know if we 'froze' or not, but we struggled to string 2 or 3 passes together for 80 minutes. We could hardly pass it out of our half and we couldn't create anything for the few times we made it into their area. Our best players, such as Marvin Johnson and even Bannan, looked dazed and out of their depth. It really did look like we had barely any attacking intent, even just to release the pressure of the constant Sunderland attacks. Did we really try to kill the game off from the first kick and make the game just a mess? I don't know what Moore told them before kick-off but we were so lucky to come away with a 1-0 defeat. That performance is worrying to say the least. It was horrible. And no mount of chest thumping can change how I felt watching that. Here's to a fresh start on Monday and a completey different approach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked proper frail as soon as we went at them Maybe that was because Sunderland would not be good boys and let us play, They closed us down very well in the 1st half and made it a long ball game, but with out a couple of mistakes by Hutch and BPF, they would never have scored.

They looked proper frail as soon as we went at them ^^^This all day long. 'Tactically we got it wrong but are still in it' is the story of our season. The only reason reached the play offs is because we have a championship team in League One. Unfortunately, we have a League 2 manager. Neill took Moore to school on Friday (surely anyone can see that) - If he does it again we are out. Fortunately, we have no option other than to go for it now and we do better when the tactics and - often this season - team selection are out of Moore's hands and forced upon on us by circumstance - which sums it up for me. Tactically, Friday was an unmitigated disaster. I've been dreading the play offs as they are tactical affairs and hoping we would get a team with an equally inexperienced manager. Sunderland were the worst team we could have got. I'm already nervous for tomorrow and won't look at the team sheet or formations, I'll just go down and shout a lot and hope that having comfortably the best team will see us through.

Dont for a minute think we played defensively on purpose, think Sunderland got in our faces, pressured us and stopped us getting any rhythm at all. Once they tired we came right into it and looked quite dominant. Any team that does that will beat us, it's been the same the 'Clown' was our manager.
