westonred Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 If LJ is "Happy with that" then we might as well pack up. It was bloody gutless and clueless again, players out of position again awful substitutions and totally tactic less He ought to come up in the stands to watch it he like us, he would be from from Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have little confidence we'll up the quality which is what's desperately needed. See for me I think there’s actually a fair amount of quality in that squad. Kelly, Kalas, Webster, Dasilva, Pack, Brownhill, Eliasson, O’Dowda, Paterson, Diedhiou, Weimann are all good players. IMO this squad is capable of much better than we’re seeing.

Davefevs Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 The post-match interviews are frustrating to listen to. He does treat us fools, certainly inferiors (which of course we are) and that bugs me. As @AppyDAZE says, the subs excuse was lame. I thought we were the better side today, played with control in the first half for the first time in a long time. We built pressure and we unlucky when Diedhiou hit the bar. We continued this and got a deserved opener, if somewhat fortuitous, although Diedhiou was stooping to head home had Cooper not put it in with a Larry Grayson-esque flick. So what changed at 1-0? We went all pretty...but without purpose. Little give and goes in the centre if the pitch whilst your front-runners are making all kinds of runs ahead of you. We suddenly went 4141 from 4231/4411, Pack sat deeper for some reason, making it difficult for us to get out from driven diagonals from Millwall. But we did change and got our control back, especially down the left. Surely we’d weathered the gentle storm. Would need to check the goal again. Kelly getting flak for being caught with Morison, but also another Millwall player (Tunnicliffe?) outside him. I really think he feared Morison flicking it on but as it was, Morison headed into the path of Williams who finished well on the volley. Who was tracking Williams? Why wasn’t Webster on Morison, allowing Kelly some Protection? Probably a game we should’ve won 1-0, but we didn’t. Not gonna sit here and blame it on LJ tonight...although thought Watkins would come on for Weimann and O’Dowda would come on centrally for Paterson, but it meant changing positions again. Diedhiou was tired though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NcnsBcfc Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Just got home, and was unfortunate to have to listen to LJ on journey back. I can't believe he said we played "with energy and tempo", and have got our identity back? That game was so flat and pedestrian. In the last two home games we have had a total of 2 shots on target; against teams with awful away records. He is insisting on playing with wingers hitting constant crosses into the box; when we might as well have Junior Bent in there the amount of headers we win. The man is unfortunately deluded. The worst part of the interview I thought was blaming Kelly for their goal. From up in the Dolman you could see, no pressure on the passer(cb), doubled up at the back post and no-one on the runner into the middle. In essence, a collective team error. Everybody could tell the energy levels of the team had dropped, but 78 mins gone and no substitutes done. LJ says " oh yeah, I was just about to do that when they scored". For God sake Lee. Just admit that we were awful. Luckily they were worse, and we got away with a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevP Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 "Played it wide".....yeah with 4 wingers on the pitch at the end. It's got predictable now. Sideways, sideways, winger or Kelly goes forward, over comes a cross where the 6ft 7" defender just heads it away . Week in, week bloody out. Its sh!te it really is.

What was a problem, was that typically Diedhiou was erring towards the back stick, when we wanted someone to dart across the front post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad blit Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 It’s December and he still doesn’t have a clue about his best formation and players for this tactic. As for his live interview, I don’t care about ‘an identity’ or ‘assets at the club’ if the team on the pitch have no passion, game plan or desire to win a game. Like others have said, we do have a decent set of players at the club, but we need the right manager at the helm who dosnt over complicate every match and plays to our own strengths.
