Hampshire Red Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 You can attribute blame to the player on an individual basis but the coaches are working these guys every day. If NP continues such a bad record it wont just be the Board that want rid, everyone on here will too. NP has to shape up very quickly, days at Leicester are irrelevant to a Championship club with no crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperRed Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Not surprising when you’ve got a striker with zero movement, a striker playing wide left who is anonymous, a raw young player wide right, 3 centre midfielders who all prefer playing behind the ball, a 34 year old right back, a right back playing left back, and two centre backs who lack ability on the ball.

Kalas has shown more ability on the ball at International level at least in terms of sound technical stats- same at Fulham. A 34 year old Mariappa won't help a side play a high line, neither will a 34 year old Simpson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmite Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Back passing possession football has been my pet hate at City for years. We are just soooo negative on our approach. How much are we missing Weimann? He may not always have done much with the ball down the channels but at least it was a forward pass in the opponents half. We are so frustratingly slow going forward. The first thought is ALWAYS backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdivision Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 It was a beautiful pass from Tommy Rowe. Inch perfect. Superb execution. Come on, you're 2-1 down with 3 minutes left, why would you go forward when you can pass 40 yards back to a Coventry player to run on to the ball in a 3 v 2.

Bazooka Joe Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Tommy's time at the High Performance Centre has paid off for Coventry. His back pass demonstrates he'd be better off playing (as another undercover agent) for Rowe-vers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archie andrews Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Remember him passing back to bentley from free kick on the halfway line last seconds of game we were losing unsurprisingly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Incessant back passing - it'll be the death of the beautiful game. Hated by spectators who expect to be entertained by attractive, attacking football with the prospect of a win at the end. If incessant, aimless back-passing is what is being coached at the High Performance Centre, they can close it down now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet sky sports/BT would have you believe that modern insistence on side-wards and back-passing is footballing entertainment at its finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in this mess mainly because of Johnson's and Holden's mismanagement! This is going to take a long time of blood, sweat and tears from the players, management and supporters before we even start looking like a proper football team again.

Hampshire Red Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 You are clearly wrong about most things and certainly on the comment you appear to try and make on others' behalves. Perhaps you could make a relevant point of your own about City and be less critical of supporters who have probably a lot better reason to make comments than you. If you think the performances under Pearson are anything but awful you are deluded. The great 'Fam Show' at Boro (where we usually do well) was as much about playing for the club shirt as it was NP's tactics. The win at Swansea, we were all delighted about but you know we got battered first half and on most other days would have lost that too. B'ham we finished well after they should have gone 2-0 up before we scored, hitting the woodwork instead Every home game has been dire and we lose to a poor team today where none of players looked interesed in playing for the manaager. You tell me what's good about that sunshine. If you wish to make comments on my views you should stop before you embarrass yourself further Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Two really annoying habits we have: - an inability to play out of defence and so just passing back to Bentley who kicks long, and - there's nothing wrong with keeping possession at the back, but don't then just hoof it down the channel. We don't use the midfielders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Red Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Only two? Optimistic! This season we have more irritating habbits than i've seen for donkeys years; not helped by watching it with bad commentary, but that doesnt excuse the coaches You could add to your to two points; no running into space from throw-ins, points hoofs from wing backs for forwards to chase as if they were greyhounds, fewer crosses to the 6 yard box than any season in my lifetime (how it feels, but no facts to support this), this season's coaches have no clue what their best back 4 might be, being out-muscles in every department except Kalas, unable to defend corners, and many more. If it was only two we might have picked up some home points in the last possible 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was only two we might have picked up some home points in the last possible 21 Ha - I agree with that. Many, many annoying habits, of which those were two that particularly irritated me today. I do actually recall a couple of crosses today. One by Massengo and one by Pearson, both overhit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
