CiderArmyy Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 instead of getting ponsy jock after ponsy jock.. what we really need is 4 gigantic defenders who take no shit from nobody- martin taylor may not be the most gifted footballer but he does his job extremely well.. our players got bullied off the ball today, and rightly so as watfords team were huge muscular and played well to their strengths.. You'd think hoof ball aginast 6 ft 9 defenders would stop after the first half.. obviously not.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfczd Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 And to be honest, its not the first time we have come across this! A few teams seem to be having no nonsense defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderArmyy Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 And to be honest, its not the first time we have come across this! A few teams seem to be having no nonsense defenders I remember playing crawley, their centre back claude davis was the biggest thing i've ever seen.. wouldn't mind him in our team..

Mickey Bells left foot Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 worked well for us when we had McCombe, since he left we've not been a threat from any set piece we get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud55 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 instead of getting ponsy jock after ponsy jock.. what we really need is 4 gigantic defenders who take no shit from nobody- martin taylor may not be the most gifted footballer but he does his job extremely well.. our players got bullied off the ball today, and rightly so as watfords team were huge muscular and played well to their strengths.. You'd think hoof ball aginast 6 ft 9 defenders would stop after the first half.. obviously not.. They did have quite a considerable amount of help from mr tactics though. Against a defence the size of the QE2 and about the same mobility he decides long ball up to pitman and stead is a good idea. Hell if that's what you need to be a football manager then the 10 year old kid sat next to me may as well be given a go as he seems to understand that long ball against a defence that size may not be the best plan.

BristolCharlie Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 With a big defence they're generally likely to be less mobile. Then the service to the strikers and the movement of those strikers becomes crucial. Both were lacking in tonight's performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I would start sticking Carey and McManus as our 2 CB's not the biggest of fellas like the watford defenders by they will give as much as they get from any striker. Fontaine looks a bit too soft from the last couple of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
