Phileas Fogg Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Bad performance against a very dogged and determined Bolton side. Felt he got subs wrong and Pack shouldn’t have come off. Frustrating game and Bolton’s gameplan to stop our attacking threat worked very well. Odd how there are some posters who have been prolific on here since the final whistle who were quiet last weekend.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were chasing a last minute goal. That was pretty much what we changed to at 0-0. And it lost us the game. We were totally disjointed thereafter and didn't create a single chance whilst totally dominating the second half up to that point. Totally wrong set up and formation in my opinion.

Cornacix the Druid Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Ok, ok. The match was not the best. Yes, subs may have been not right. I feel the subs on we're right, just not the guys to come off. I think LJ should have made he change on half time, not leave it. Patterson is a good player but it was obvious he was struggling. So Patterson off and maggers on at half time, with the other adjustments as suggested above. Get a hold of the game then think about shuffling the strikers around. If Fammy stays on then bring Elliason on. If pineapple comes on then Reid needs to take a rest. But then, if we all had the benefit of hindsight, we'd all be called Pep. We all make mistakes. Learn, cut out the mistakes, move onwards and hopefully upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have changed formation much much earlier IMO the formation should have stayed as it has been from the start. Keep Korey Smith in midfield with Marlon Pack. Keep Bailey Wright at right back. Bring Hörður Magnússon in at centre back. Don't shuffle the whole pack for one absentee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not so sure though - I think we have seen a performance tonight that we’ll see in a number of games between now and the end of the season. The problem as I see it is two fold; 1) the expectation levels have risen dramatically due in part to the performances in the cup and because we got to the heady heights of 2nd place. 2) teams know that if the play in a certain way - many men behind the ball and in a physical manner - that we don’t have the guile to break then down. Don’t get me wrong - the season so far has been much more enjoyable - I just think we’ve been ‘found out’ again and we don’t seem to have a Plan B. I’ll be delighted if I’m wrong though!

I hope he comes good, but needs to be more aware of an early pass. Holding on too long to the ball compresses space and rather snuffs out the quick pass and move play that LJ wants.

INCRED Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 If you don’t have forwards who can hold the ball up and be a focal point for your attacks then you won’t build momentum. I’m not singling Fammy out as I thought there were quite a few off their game and we deserved what we got - Nil points!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelksRed Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 I assume that we all have never had a bad day at work and that everything always goes to plan? I guess football is like life.....sometimes you you win sometimes you lose irregardless of the effort but in......we've played awfully in games and won....we've played brilliantly and lost....#thatslife We need to regroup and come back stronger.....no point crying over spilt milk.

RedM Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 I guess it’s just the two sides of our team, united and able to grind out a win against QPR when the odds were against us as such, but unable to break down solid teams like the Millwalls, Bolton’s etc who will not allow us to play our game. True promotion candidates have to be able to either impose their game on others without question, or adapt with intelligence and results against others. We did neither last night and floundered. Got to echo what others have said about shuffling too many to cope with Bakers absence, we all said it before the match and also sometimes Lee gets the subs spot on (QPR) and sometimes he doesn’t. So let the players recharge their batteries in Dubai, I hope too many weren’t in ‘holiday’ mode last night as if I were Lee I’d be making it clear it’s anything but.
