SedRA Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 In Kalas’ interview on bctv he states that we were too ‘lazy’ in the first half and weren’t trying hard enough. I appreciate his honesty, but that’s quite an admission. I think most of us can accept being outplayed when it happens, but not outfought. Its a basic requisite that the players are giving everything, very disappointing to hear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 I think Kalas was trying to reiterate what LJ had said. We weren't attack minded enough in the first 45. For example, happy to make defensive throws when halfway into their half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pace of the film was meant to highlight the sense of isolation and boredom when you find yourself in a situation far from home . A sort of time capsule where your life seems to have little sense . A bit like the first 45 minutes of yesterday's match . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 I still maintain we gave them too much respect, ex Prem side. Although we beat them in the cup a year ago, maybe we thought it was going to be easy and were lazy in that respect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SedRA Posted November 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Judging from the post match presser, Kalas WAS being upfront about laziness in the team in that stoke game. Sounds like the team has lost desire over the recent weeks from the way LJ was talking. TBF they've probably got disillusioned with the complete lack of cohesive approach from the manager.

Today's game we were definitely out thought, not like Preston were especially good either, certainly didn't resemble the side who finished 7th- but it looked too easy for them for large parts- which was very concerning.

Chappers Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 I suppose that endlessly hoofing the ball in the general direction of Fam is pretty lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fam is lazy. Rearly breaks a trot. When he does try and run it's like watchingan oil tanker in 2nd gear.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually felt quite sorry for him yesterday, our only plan was to launch the ball in his general direction, despite the fact that he was well marked and nobody was anywhere near him looking for knock-ons.

Pezo Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 It's lazy football not lazy effort IMO. Which is correct. It's little dinky balls to no one in particular and kicking the ball long because they can't see another option. It's the sort of thing that is easy because the person doing it isn't going to get a load of abuse from the stands but it gives the ball away easily and invites pressure.

True. But if you make 100 runs for a striker that never finds you maybe you stop making the runs as much? I've played with some players who are terrible at passing for various reasons but it can be frustrating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Kalas and LJ stated a lack of effort to get around the pitch and run around more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
