deano Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Play out from the back next season when Röhl (hopefully) brings the players in to do that. Until then let's play to our strengths with unapologetic route 1 football. I like my team to keep it on the deck but it's hard to argue the point after that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 First half was like Peterborough away! Bold, decisive management from Röhl to recognise he’d made a mistake with the starting XI/formation and make wholesale changes at the break. Playing more aggressively gave the fans a lift which gave the players a lift… really hope we go out and get at Stoke from the first whistle on Saturday instead of making life easy for them like we did in the first half tonight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're much more effective getting the ball forward quickly then closing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worthing_owl Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 That energy and passion will get us over the line. The fans can see it and they love it. Everyone is raised by their effort. Vaulks and Patto just ran and ran, if Norwich didn't get out of the way, they were going to run over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerson Thome Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Easy to say in hindsight, but we should have started the game with the long ball tactics. Norwich were setting traps for us and breaking at pace. If we had been more direct they wouldn't have kept getting caught out at the back and on the counter. Plus they weren't really up for a fight, wish we'd put a few more crosses in early doors. But, great comeback. There's something thrilling about direct football when done properly - just like the Peterborough game the OP aludes to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worthing_owl Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 We can't match the top sides for passing and movement, but we can scare the poo out of them with power, aggression and pace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the ball up there and hope for something then hope we can defend. Lump it and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I think the last 15 mins was like Peterborough at home last season but up to our first goal rest of second half was mainly awful still. Norwich still had 3 or 4 opportunities to put game to bed after half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these stats, possession, pro zone, continental tactics and what gets us back into the game good old fashioned set pieces 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
