FrozenRobin Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 I think LJs use of subs recently has been atrocious. The usual perpetrators of this are: Palmer COD (even though he scored last night) Semenyo Why don't we try something different? Give Rodri a go. Use Szmodics for 30 m. Play Pedro higher up? Getting very sick of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Peacock Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 I could have sworn I have seen Rodri come on as sub. And Korey Smith and Taylor Moore and Pedro Pereira and Eliasson and Diedhiou and Semenyo and Baker and others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Last night was screaming out for Matty Taylor on 60 minutes. its a shame he is seen as surplus to requirements and let out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketh2nd Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Cod should have came on at half time , its fine to move brownhill central he was better there but lets not ask weimann to play upfront and leftwing . if we went 3 5 2 or 3 5 1 1 we may not of conceded the 2nd goal. For me we lost the game by giving millwall acres of space on there right side and having no cover for Rowe . For me we could of at least drawn this game if we had addressed our left hand side.

Interesting how LJ swapped Weimann and Eliason round to try to give Rowe more protection but Rowat instantly switched his wide men around too . Rowat basically did us last night !

marcofisher Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 I think LJs initially tactics were more culpable. What worked well against Huddersfield and Fulham, where Eliasson could pick out gaps in the box, was not going to work against the 3 towering Millwall centre backs and only played into their strengths.

redsquirrel Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 I laughed when they made their 3rd sub,dirty little no8, but I did say ,'oh look,they do have one midget' and he wasn't that small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he was thinking Eliasson might be more effective on the right as that is how any sane manager would think about your most creative player...

robin_unreliant Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I think the basic issue is we have no depth up front. What we needed was another decent striker on the bench. What we have is Rodri and Semenyo, both of whom have yet to impress. My feeling looking at the bench was that there was no-one you could bring on that you might expect to score. If Matty Taylor had been there I still would've felt the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how chucking on another striker is going to stop Jed Wallace casually passing Rowe every time he had the ball. Everything that was wrong other than individual poor performances stemmed from our left side, until COD came on there was nothing going forward on that side, which meant Millwall just compressed the pitch towards the right, Eliasson and Hunt more often than not were playing 2 on 3 or 4 so understandably neither were particularly effective.

Meh Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 To be fair if Perreras shot in injury time was 12 inches higher and 12 inches to the left which is not a massive distance we get an unlikely draw and we are all saying it seemed a strange sub at the time but LJ got it right / was lucky / spawny git according to personal bias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What worked well against Huddersfield and Fulham, where Eliasson could pick out gaps in the box, was not going to work against the 3 towering Millwall centre backs and only played into their strengths. What concerns me most about this, it was evident almost from the kick off how Millwall would dominate the aerial and physical battles. It was also clear their five man midfield would simply outnumber us. So we do all this research into opposition teams and it seems we got caught out by them. Was surprised back the lack of defensive options on the bench, we were crying out for Korey to come on and put his foot in to help us compete 58 minutes ago, Super said: Because he was terrible.
