Wolf Island Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Sounds very down. Injuries, trading players rather than building a squad, underperforming squad players. Worrying if we don’t get a win vs Blackburn with Xmas fixtures and the January window coming up. I wonder if he’s starting to get itchy feet.

Sounds like Massengo may get rested and Weimann will definitely play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 On 2:00 minutes he says we can’t afford to gave a dip in the championship - paraphrased that we need to play well to win. However that is probably the same for 10-12 other teams in this division. It’s tight, both in terms of points, and team capabilities, apart from the top few, where they have undoubted quality. But even then we can go to Fulham and beat them. We are in a great position. If we were say 8th always playing catch-up, getting there, then dipping again, I’d be worried we aren’t breaking through in our improvement. However we are on 35 points from 21 games. Lets hope we see the response we want on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think them losing the goals & energy of Dack could be key.....no free headers for Gallagher please plus no silly freekicks just outside the box for Downing to enjoy! I'm gona put the curse on now - very winnable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackburn just need to copy their 'sit deep' tactics and we'll be stumped again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactics were good while ours weren't spot on, and too many had an off day again. My thinking was we would freshen the side up for Millwall , and revert to the side we had at Fulham for this game, so I have no idea what LJ might do fo this. I wonder if he might throw COD in for Weimann and try and really stretch the pitch. Apart from that we go with the same team again and hope for more 8+'s like Vs Huddersfield instead of the 5/6's from Millwall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson simply cannot work out how to beat a patient, stubborn defence whatever their position in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were strong , fit and quick and pressed us a long way up the pitch . Will do well this season if injuries allow . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I did just see a stat online that said they have averaged the least possession of any Championship side (42%). For all that though, they did press well- did counter well, actually quite attacking in the first half. Certainly look like more of a footballing side under Rowett- not one that will dominate the ball but more varied than Harris certainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was impressed with how they shaped up in possession. 3 forwards seemed to pull left and drag Rowe in, left space for Romeo (?) to bomb into. Very quick to get back into shape and pressed well.

CotswoldRed Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 I can't make today. Although I've missed just a handful of home games in the last 2 years, I've only seen us win twice I think. Bound to win. FACT FOR THE DAY: If I turn up my stereo to 3 at home today, it will be louder than the atmosphere Ashton Gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm well off-topic, but quality audio gear can be had for very little (and a lot). You'll never regret buying some new gear, putting on the old tunes and switching that TV off. And if you change your mind you can sell it and get your money back. www.ebay.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
