Im glad i asked the question now. What a good answer, thanks for taking the time to type that out. Next time i see big marv hoofing one out of play at least i’ll know the reason
Forgetting how tedious the footballs been for a second can someone with coaching badges or more footballing knowledge than me explain what our tactics are trying to achieve. (Not a thread to bash Critchley but a genuine question)
For 3 and a half games now its been give it to big Marv who sends...
Anyone else been really impressed with Lavery? Getting absolutely no service but determined to make stuff happen by closing down at every opportunity. I’ll admit i’ve questioned whether hes good enough but i cant question his attitude. Fighting for absolutely everything up there
Bit of a tedious game if we’re being honest. Having said that its a good point away from home. Really not much to add in terms of analysis. It felt like Critch was happy for a point and he got it. Whether thats the right approach or not is hard to tell at this stage but not losing certainly...
The most frustrating thing was watching us aimlessly hoof it up for almost the entire first half.
Don’t get me wrong, it this was an ‘industrial’ way of keeping us up then i’d be onboard.
Fact is this is a team thats at its best when actually playing football. They cant defend for long periods...
I was fuming when i saw those subs at whenever it was, 60 minutes ish. I said immediately it was asking for trouble and way way to defensive considering how much time was left.
I was wrong and happy to admit it. Wherher you agree with big Mick as an appointment or not what he does have is an in...
Appleton has to go for me. Why on earth did he wait for them to equalise before making changes? Anyone watching that could see a goal coming 10 minutes before it did. So why did he just let it happen? No attempt to bolster the defence or midfield whatsoever.
If hed made changes to try and...
Since world cups began the host side generally gets favourable decisions. Case and point englands 3rd in the final against Germany. Having said that its always been marginal decisions rather than out and out cheating. What makes it more remarkable is theres now VAR so you cant even blame human...
There are of course extenuating circumstances but ultimately we’ve just lost to easily the worst team I’ve seen in the division.
That leads to a blame game. I don’t rate nor even like Appleton but i don’t think the terrible header back or the ridiculous karate challenge from Marv rests at his...
Firstly we’ve just gone away to a team at the top of the league and for the most part played the better football.
Secondly (and after an hours plus hindsight)
the ref probably gave us as many bad decisions as Sheff U. Don’t get me wrong he was awful but as has been pointed out we did get away...
Not sure i agree with that. Some of the saves looked incredible at first viewing (madines header specifically) but when you watched the replays i think ots fair to say you would have expected him to save everything which he did
Brilliant today. Not just the result but the effort. I know football fans in general (including me) form their opinion based on the result but when it was 1-1 I turned around to my dad and said I don’t care if we win lose or draw now. Theyve given it everything and I don’t think any reasonable...
