Spot on. Utter cr2p bob. I won't listen to Warburtons after dinner speech. He's spent the money picks the team and yet it's still the same old rubbish. We have won once ( first game). Season is over before Christmas again.
It will be as predictable as always. I'm beginning to think Warburton is just a talker. Says the right things and sounds good but cant really put his ideas into practise. We have an awful habit of stopping our own attacks to pass backwards, letting the opposition get back into shape. We also need to stop this attempted playing out from the back. We just arent capable, the players arent good enough. We take Ball off and leave an OAP in the centre of the park?!? We take Chair off, which is Warburtons only tactic. He was our best player in the first 10 minutes and can create something or at least create more than old Geoff. Its piss poor. The lack of intelligence from the management all through to the lack of urgency and desire from the players.

At what point do u think we are going to cream this league Ellers?
I don’t ( I said earlier in this thread that an improvement on last season and a top 10 would be good.) That ain't going to happen.
Do you think we should be losing 2-0 at home to Preston? Is that what you thought before the game started?
In this division I except my team to do better at home and improve on last season if you think we played well you should watch netball. That was going backwards.
 
For me, we're not fluid enough. A lot of the attacking players seem to just stand near the opposition box waiting. I think we need our attackers to drop back to pick up the ball whilst someone swaps and goes into the area. In any case, there's too much of a disconnect between attackers and the rest.

Agree. We do have many changes though including the major loss of Eze.

But what concerns me more is that having been on top until they scored and creating some half chances, we fell to bits as soon as they scored.
 
Having seen them on Sunday against Cardiff they had problems breaking down a well organised counter attacking side when at home, this on the other hand was right up their street, a poor home team with little penetration and not really putting them under any pressure near goal. They just had to wait for our mistakes.

More concerning is there is no midfield 'general' who can dictate play, it's all sideways backwards sideways then give the ball away. Chair became anonymous but he's not really being played to his strengths. The side is not balanced and I can't work out what Warbs is trying to achieve playing carthorses like Wallace and Cameron and the formation he's using. It seems the players are just as baffled...

Spot on. The balance is awful. Where was Carroll actually playing tonight? Not that I'm blaming him for where hes instructed to play.
