I actually think it was Bednarek to blame the most (think it was him) his jump to head it meant everyone else stopped as he clearly called for it and it went over his head and Bazunu couldn’t get across in time. If he had judged it better an realised he wouldn’t be able to head it Bazunu would’ve known it was coming through to him
I have real issues with Bednarek yesterday. His passing was atrocious and put us on the back-foot. You can’t pass that poorly in a team built on ball retention.
I wrote this the other day, I expect Jack to come in for him soon as he is a better fit for the style of play.
Change yesterday to the last two years. (He does have his good games. But he's way too inconsistent for a CB.)
Yep I don't disagree, but Edozie's mistake was just tip of the iceberg stuff. We were playing suicidal football for most of the second half and putting pressure on ourselves unnecessarily. It was obvious we would concede at some point.
It isn't Martin's style that I have a problem with. I'm glad we are playing possession football. It's just that you need a little bit of common sense thrown in too. We absolutely invited Huddersfield to keep piling the pressure on yesterday. They were having chance after chance. They had totally worked out our little passing patterns and it was our players who were tiring. I really thought Martin had learned this lesson in the run of 4 defeats. We seemed to mix it up then for a while after that, especially against Leeds. But I'll give him benefit of the doubt. He wasn't on the sidelines, and we've been improving on the whole. We need to get Stewart in the team asap though.
As frustrating as it is to watch, obviously the players will get better the more we play the system. We might have perfected it by the end of the season. The problem is, we will probably have a whole new defence next season who will have to get used to it all over again.
I’d possibly put Stewart in for Sulemana, and put Adarma left. Just feels like KS needs to realise he’s not so special that we carry him.
I heard that there is a back story behind this scene. The actor playing the swordsman rehearsed for a long fight with Ford, only for Ford to go down with a tummy bug (or something similar) making him too weak to take part in a long scene. Time constraints meant that they couldn’t wait for him to be fit enough to take on such physical action, so they cut the scene short, hence the gun.
Agree 100% I'd take Adarma's work-rate over Sulemana's individualism all day at the moment. Bring him on with half an hour to go and I think he will have a much better time of it.
