Match Day Thread Hull City v Bristol City

where have I said we should kick the ball long?
you wont be able to find it because I have never said it
it is a figment of your imagination
a 'straw man' argument

 

You just did

 

Read my post the other day , our back got collectively are not technically good enough or quick enough to keep ‘easy’ possession , Greaves cushioned them last year as he was comfortable . Nothing wrong with passing from the back providing your players are able enough .
As for movement , Spain gave England a lesson in finding space as Real Madrid do ,and come unstuck mostly .

 

Yes you're right Peter, I am sorry. Hopefully Tim gets his act together and we start passing to the right player from now on. I've got work to do now, have a lovely day whatever it is you are on with.

 

I think Jones and Coyle looked fine on Saturday. Macca has looked ok in preseason but struggled on Saturday. Jacob is a good player generally but I dont think he can play this style. I really think given his performances and Giles' situation they dip into the market for a LB. Maybe look at offering Brandon Williams a deal given he can play both sides

 

Pandur threw the ball out at one point. He even kicked long quickly after collecting it on occasion.

Something so simple but quite refreshing after not really seeing that under Rosenior. Although Allsop did mix it up he was often under instruction to slow it down and play out from the back. Although we are doing something similar we certainly seem open to release the ball quicker to counter.

 

Brandon williams is an absolute bellend

 

20-30 yards from a goal kick is 'long' in your opinion?
I think you will find that footballers dont class that as a long ball
a football pitch is about 115 yards long
kicking a ball long would, I suggest, be kicking it into the far side of the centre circle from a goal kick
a distance of 50-60 yards
that is a lot more than my suggestion of 20-30 yards

 

thank you
I have work too
at 72 but I cant let my clients down!

 

Well Acun said Walterball would get the fans talking, it certainly has on here.

 

I'd love to see the keeper that can play perfect 20-30 yard passes to the middle of the field in your wonder system. Especially from a dead ball goal kick where most of Bristol's players were set up

 

it's still the same with goal kicks but the rest of the play is quicker

 

I think give it time the goal kicks will change too.

 

Allsop would regularly hit it long and led to us scoring a number of goals. Passing short only works if you occasionally mix it up.

 

He's still a free agent though and played a large part of Ipswich's season

 

I'd say plenty of keepers can pass the ball 20-30 yards
it doesnt have to be to the miiddle of the field - passing to a player on the touchline is allowed
if the goalkeeper isnt good enough to pass a ball 20-30 yards then a defender can always take the goal kick
the defender can still run forward to avoid leaving attackers onside even if the ball is wayward

 

He had 15 apps
Hes also a sick note

 

Think of your clients Peter please

 

I can multi task

 

Are you a gigolo
