Owling_Wolf Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 3 hours ago, KrolMong said: That was a genuinely good second half. No bad displays, and we caused all kinds of problems. Bannan, Pol V, Palmer and Musaba good. He’s got his set up away from home now. It’s got to be two more defensive minded midfield players with Bannan and then a front three. At Millwall, I’m going with a 4-3-3. Beadle Pol V, Bernard, Famewo, Johnson Palmer, Bannan, Vaulks Poveda, BCM, Musaba We can almost play Pol V as a winger and have Palmer dropping in. After getting it wrong first half, Rohl got it spot on second. Can't believe I'm (ever) putting this but Wilks looked half decent 2nd half. Got stuck in down the left and came pretty close to an own goal by their full back from close range. **Goes for a lie down** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that to an extent, but there is a time n place for it. And I just think sometimes until the game gets settled then play the percentages, especially in the first 4 minutes away to the best club in the division. We genuinely started the game ok then bam a goal against from a collective error. And suddenly they have confidence to spray it round. The one moment that irked me most, probably just after they scored, we got a free kick on halfway, near the managers. Was it pumped to the edge of their area, test them. No it went back to Beadle who then proceeded to launch it left 10 foot over Johnson out of play. Mrs MK unwisely choose to be in the same room while Wednesday were on and got my full on Tourettes.

HoylandOwl Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 The first half last night was incredibly frustrating. Yes, a decent start turned into a shit show in one moment. I echo MK’s sentiment earlier on it. There are benefits to it; that we have seen… But we can’t do it religiously in every situation. That last night shows, Vaulks had nowhere to go but Beadle passes it to him. Maybe that’s the immaturity in his game? While it’s his fault, there’s part of me that thinks, he needs to learn but we can’t be learning…. Anyway. The other thing was how wasteful in possession we were in that first half. Not only did we cause our own problems with the goal, (or goalS as the marking on the long ball was horrific too) but we treated the ball like a team of 6 year olds just kicking it anywhere when we got it. It’s like what we did against Southampton away too. Don’t take care of it, not try to slow the game down, hold possession a bit, just get it forward asap and give it them back. It just invited pressure. Second half. much better with and without the ball. And we arguably deserved at least a goal. It’s just too much though to continually get a goal or two behind to then change seemingly the mindset and tactic. There’s positives in recognising things or happen before adapting, but our ‘happenings’ seem to be catastrophic before things are rectified. That’s not taking the responsibility off the individual as well. As I say there has to be a sense of autonomy in certain situations as well. Like Beadle. Yes; we want to play this way but in that moment is that the right thing? What’s the biggest risk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is what it is but we dare to dream staying up now for me is the equivalent of being 2-0 with 5 minutes plus injury time.

Nothing gladens my heart than seeing pass and move football The fact that players are desperately trying to get the ball back to their own goalkeeper and their opponents are desperately trying to stop them is an even bigger shock still, every time I switch the telly on. I remember watching t.v. games in European Competition back in the day, (1960s or '70s) on a black & white telly with my dad. It was such a complete novelty to see the European teams passing the ball backwards at all that it caused laughter at first. (And much hilarity once when a backpass went into their own net! Scotland or Wales international team, perhaps.) Just think, if we'd have put 'contracts' out on an overseas coach or two back then, we wouldn't all be having to watch this collective insanity at every level, suitable or not.

Turn the other team round, get your shape right, and grow into it. Totally agree. With every team I've coached the game is split into 10 minute blocks. First 10 of each half is always nothing daft and let's see what they've got. Next two blocks depend on that initial 10 mins but revolve around can we open up and control the game or do we need to soak up and counter. But that's down to fluidity of formation and everyone knowing the plans. I've never been one for setting a team to play one way, regardless.

BraddersTim Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Nedem Onuorah did a really good bit about this and how the players who were in the game 20 years ago really don't get it when they commentate, especially when teams make a mistake and they come out with "why are they doing that/they're not good enough/it's too dangerous". His point essentially is that the players and coaches know exactly why they're doing it, the point is to stretch play, draw the opponents in and make space in the areas behind them. The coaches know there will be mistakes but that's part of the improvement process & the testament is actually how few goals are being conceded now when doing it. The issue last night wasn't the system, it was simply a mistake by Beadle, who should have kicked it first time. He'll learn from it. The point though, about these pundits, not quite appreciating how the game has changed tactically is a sound one, i can't imagine that Carragher would have got many games in a side that played in this way. It's probably time for a bit of a changing of the guard at Sky etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still; has a bit of the x factor, is quick, strong and doesn't shun his defensive responsibilities perhaps in the way Gassama does. Mind you Gassama is a very exciting prospect at only 20. Quick, powerful and skilful and has the rare ability to be able to take on and beat a defender more often than not.

There's a possibility - to this layman, anyway - that the gesture meant, 'Not to me.' Would they have discussed such things during training?

My view FWIW; given where Vaulks was and which way he was facing I suspect that most experienced keepers might well have disregarded both general instructions and any signals from Vaulks and just cleared the ball out of the danger area either upfield or out of play. Whichever way we look at it Beadle was culpable to the greater degree. It happens and is part of his learning curve. Better last night than at Millwall for me. Without this error and/or if Musaba had passed to Smith etc. I think that Leicester would likely have been able to up a gear anyway.

Problem a lot of footballers have is if he's getting an endorsement payment for those boots then he can't switch, not even within brand. Haaland is wearing a pair of Phantom GX2 hybrids and they're perfect for this weather Crikey. Unfortunately sounds about right these days. Roll on to the dry hard pitches.

EastCraigsOwl Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Dry, hard pitches you say? He'll be injured by then. Beadle looks like a clone of the young chap Trafford at Burnley. Half decent shot stopper, weak as piss in the air and thinks he can play football. The first half of the match wasn't Foxes vs Owls. It was men against boys. It was so bad, I took to playing 'bit harsh Bingo' with the commentary. Example: "Vardy... Praet" "bit harsh." Second half was much better, although Leicester had at least one more goal in the tank. Onwards to Saturday. 3 points please Wednesday 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
