Andyben Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 This set up is a decent combo of last seasons shape, but woth more tempo and attacking intent. Could work.

Bellsview Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Not a bad first half that. Their left side of defence, and especially Engel, are poor. Can’t get complacent second half though. That defensive high line could easily be exploited if they manage to slide a pass through, so we need to concentrate. First half just seemed a bit easy to me - and I think that’s as much to do with them being really poor as it is us finally clicking into gear. But I’ll happily take it! More of the same second half please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkowlthesexynewversion Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 It is better for sure. I still have concerns that once the opposition get hold of the ball it's still a bit too easy to pass through the lines in midfield and slide in balls to the attacking players. We therefore need to keep going forward and not sit back inviting pressure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 The basic footballing skills of some of our players leaves a lot to be desired. How one decent bit of play can be immediately undone by crossing it into the Kop, that clearance at the end when you have time puts us under pressure with a free kick. One positive was Valentin, not difficult to be MoM amongst that lot. At least its a point but still not much to suggest that we have the quality to avoid relegation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean apart from Boro were as poor as us and as devoid of confidence too. Our midfield is piss poor and there is no strike force to cause issues There was at least a semblance of a style of play, but its all far too slow and predictable. And better sides will carve through us far too easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canterburyowl Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) @WincoNot trying to be super critical, just dont agree on some of the decision making. I dont rate the manager and I stand by that. I also believe he has chopped and changed it all so much so far, that the players lack confidence. I agree about Valentin and said as much earlier.

owl71 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 That performance offers some reason for hope. The biggest question after Saturdays utter shit show was how on earth are we going to create chances? That at least got answered tonight. Yes, there are a stack of other question marks about this squad. There were decent balls into the box that didn’t really get attacked. There were periods of defensive panic. There were some bloody awful decisions by midfielders. Yes we know. But, unlike Saturday, we didn’t look like a side that will be lucky to get 20 points.

KrolMong Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 That was fucking abysmal. Boro’ shit themselves first half and then realised we were awful and tore into us second half. We ran out of legs, we didn’t look fit, the changes were bad. Not acceptable. We are an absolute country mile of being Championship quality. We aren’t mobile enough, agressive enough and we don’t carry any sort of goal threat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see how we are going to win games - it's going to be a constant struggle to score goals. It was a good goal, Byers should have scored, but beyond that ? At the same time the defence and keeper have a mistake in them And when midfield does lose control then the opposition create way too many chances. We were fortunate that their final ball was as bad as ours But it's more I can't see how much we can up it quality wise. I just think it's a very average group of players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrolMong Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 My issue is how easily we don’t keep the ball, but also how we are awful at getting the ball back. At times we are so focussed on shape that we forget that shape is there to retrieve possession. Boro’ ran the show second half. We are an absolute mile off this division, both tactically and personnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
