Agree. Maybe we should try Greaves up front, Macca on the right wing and Coyle on the left wing, with Connolly and Vaughan at the back in a 2-6-2. Because it doesn’t matter who plays where or what the formation is does it?
Well my criticism is the way we build attacks and how we try to use possession doesn't seem to be working, nor does it seem to be improving, there is no emotion involved in this view and it's one that I've had for a long time now. There has been, and will be many games where the opposition is far worse than Norwich and we are much better than we played on Saturday and so I have no worries about us competing and picking up the points needed to be comfortable, but the way in which we are trying to attack has looked relatively similar without a great deal of success for a while now. The most frustrating thing for me is that I believe in the squad we have in terms of having the potential to take the game to most teams, and in the case of our attackers, I think they are unable to develop the confidence they need because of how limited and sporadic our attacking play is. A lot of this is based on my preference for what I like to watch, but it has been mentioned that we would be an attacking team so I did have an expectation. If it's said that we are going to go out, be hard to beat and attempt to capitalise on certain moments of the game I will except that and shut up. I'd also like to mention that this is purely from a discussion stand point and I have no desire what so ever to be a part of any build up of pressure on the manager etc. I was pleased with his appointment and I want to see him given time to mould the squad he wants and hopefully learn and develop as he is young and surely is still heavily in this period of development. However, that doesn't mean there won't be an expression of frustration or some critique along the way.
Then surely a good manager, one who shows he can be adaptable to circumstance and situation adapts to accommodate the players we have. Then, if you do well at that, you can overtime bring players in through successive windows that allow you to play the way you would ideally like to play. Say again, square pegs square holes not playing people because their a lovely lad or signing someone because you think you can make them a man. For LR CV that has to be the way forward...
The whole sinik thing is bizarre to me, re the transfers there has to be more to it than we know. Either we aren’t signing LR targets or we can’t attract people the club or simply Acun’s lost his chq book. There’s no way we are still waiting for our first choices this late in the window….loans maybe but not transfers and so many
You’re right. A bloke with a ball in his front room is much better than witnessing the incident in the ground. My mistake
To be fair, I think seeing it live in real time isn't that reliable. That's how refs get things wrong! The ball can often look out but not be. We've got a photo that shows that it's very close indeed, but I don't think it's definitive because of the angle of the shot and also it looks like the winger has already played the ball back into play at the time of the shot, so it may have been a few more millimetres out in the preceding milliseconds. Really don't think we can say with any certainty whether it was out or not.
This is the most ridiculous comment. Proper straw man argument. I suggest you book yourself an appointment at spec savers.
Norwich were physically a much bigger team than City. Furthermore their passing was more slick and they looked to be a much fitter team. Vinagre did not look match fit and the protection he was offered by the young winger was non existent. I could have dropped my pie when there were no changes for the start of the second half.
Physically bigger, slicker and pacier. Get used to it (if not already from last season), it's going to happen a lot ..... unless these "exciting" 3 -4 incomings change things markedly.
To be fair the ****ing linesman (assistant referee) needs to keep up with play. It's not like it was a slick passing move that caught him out it was a bloody long ball. The young man behind me called him a ****ing bald **** more than once. I suggest more relevant might be to replace bald with slow.
Maybe just maybe that's why he chose to give them the benefit of the doubt with the corner? Well done that young 'man'
