Curr Avon Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 No pace in midfield, no one who can pass the ball in attacking areas, apart from the odd cross from Nicolas and zero pressing. Do we want to win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original OTIB Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 "Worldie" aside our front 2 have been rubbish. Utter rubbish and have given the Wigan back line almost nothing to worry about. We need somebody to "get on the ball" and do something. It would not surprise me if he brought on Paterson and took off one of the aforementioned. Not advocating it, but it would not surprise me at all.

RedM Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Very poor game. We look low on confidence and lack ideas. Every player has more errors in them than normal, can the whole team really have a collective off day? I am staggered we are level at HT, we don't deserve to be.

What I don't get is everyone says he is a centre forward, but he mainly runs to the wing all the time anyway. Jon, its effin' easy to understand why (not having a go at you)....its because the other bloke up top 1) doesn't make any runs 2) takes his space centrally.

JoeAman08 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Wigan are highly athletic and fit. It really shows against a side like us because we have no pace or power. Not only has the fun of football been coached out of everyone we haven’t recruited any athletes to overcome this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However there are particular times, such as at half time in a game like this, when he has an opportunity to really earn his corn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Well positives from the half - we haven't conceded, but given they're the lowest scoring team in the division, not much to celebrate. Defensively narrow, compact and organised, but we sat off and let them play around to their hearts content in possession with little pressing. To be fair, we didn't concede any major chances so that is working, Dan having little to do. But we look lacklustre and slow to get out of that defensive block of 8, the front men stretched so we regularly just play long and early and ending just giving the ball back as no one is there for the scraps. Wigan doing well to give us no time on the ball, crowding us when we get possession. That said we had the best chances of the half, Famara scored the best non goal i've ever seen, and had another decent chance from a cross. Dasilva and Niclas linking well going forwards, we need more of that. Still they are way too slow in transition, dare I say badly missing a 'Brownhill' and lacking invention again - but given defence has been a recent problem, there is some improvement there at least.

Assombalonga was offside but played on when Moore touched it. You can be offside without touching it but I would bet it was a foul anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go and join a bowls forum if you want decorum! I joined a bowls forum once and it was just as bad. Some bloke kept saying he didn’t believe anything that happened until it was on the bowls website, moaned continually about not being able to hear when it was his turn to stick up from his seat and then, to put the tin lid on it, he took the other local bowls team on a day out. Our captain confronted him but he denied any knowledge. Glad it’s only bowls people that happens with and not football fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Dreadful first 30 mins by City - barely got out our own half. Next 15 slightly better but Wigan seem to want this more than us?! Not sure if Fammy ‘goal’ was offside or a foul by Watkins? But what a way to waste that hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weimann does seem to be dropping back a bit alongside Massengo, with Korey sitting. But I imagine Eliasson in a more free role might cause Wigan more problems. He can drift either wing then too.

We look gutless, clueless, tactic less, and formation less. They are obviously not playing for the manager its plain to see. I still think we can sneak a win here but that will just keep LJ in a job for a little longer. If we do lose tonight what will LJ excuse be tonight ? it cant be the players need a rest he's used that one Obviously "not back up to speed yet" or "fine lines with ref decisions" should be "I dont know what to do now except buy some more players" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
