Numero Uno Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Some of that was a joy to watch. I really hope we can take the sting out of the game second half and come back with three points. As for a Colin, that is literally anti-football that he’s got his mob playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swanker Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 That was lovely to watch, the best football I’ve seen us play for a long time. It’s nice to be smiling when watching City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WirralRobin Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Agree with everyone else, brilliant half all round! As well as the really good football on the ball, it's easy to forget how well we defended in that half too, pressing brilliantly all over the pitch and the three centre halves (+Fam et al) have been immense at dealing with the barrage of corners and Shotton throws all half. Seriously impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calculus Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 You do wonder whether Holden tried to give his opinion to LJ or not. Did Holden just keep quiet or did LJ just ignore him? Doesn't say much for our boot room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marmite Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 1 minute ago, LondonBristolian said: I really do wonder if the major issue with LJ wasn't so much that the players disliked him as much as that performances were analysed to an extent that he inadvertently got them to a point where they were so worried about getting things wrong that they lacked the confidence to get things right. Paterson in particular now seems freed up to play his natural game and it is making a massive difference. I'd love us to appoint a manager next season who encourages the team to go out and enjoy playing. Structure, analysis and discipline are important but I wonder if LJ sometimes forgot that players had got where they had got to based on what they could do well and sometimes it is about building on that rather than deconstructing it. Great summary, particularly 1st paragraph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City_USA Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 You have to wonder whether the board are regretting not pulling the trigger earlier. What an extra win or even a draw in the last 12 games would have made. This was the season that could have been. We've got the players and now they're playing with a smile on their faces.

Should get booked for time wasting. Every throw is at least 30 seconds, some up to 45 seconds. If Jay Dasilva took a throw on the half way like and used 45 secs of the clock, he’d be booked.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Weimann and Paterson have their critics but good today! Fluid, a great strike by Paterson and Weimann got both assists. We're nicely set up now, we can hit them on the break..onus is on them somewhat and as it becomes stretched perhaps we can catch Middlesbrough out.

Street red Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Seems to me these players are out to impress, Not sure what it is but players seem to get a lift when a manager gets sacked but it does show they are playing with more freedom. I wouldn't get excited about appointing Holden just after a nearly two games against two very poor sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 That 2nd goal was excellent. From their corner, 2 passes, and we have the ball carrier wide and 5, yes FIVE men busting a gut to get in the box. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gert Mare Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 That was much better. Nothing too over complicated, possession football for a while too, but what has impressed me is our counter attacking breakouts with pace and stretching out to the flanks to create space for the runners through the middle. Trouble with LJ’s philosophy was get it, piss about with it at the back, move to the half way line, drop back to defence a bit, then play wide, knock it around the corner flag for a bit, move back to midfield, a few side passes....bollox, get it forward quick, stretch them and don’t allow them time to get men back behind the ball. Simple, get them on the back foot. We’re doing that today. Nice to see them going off at half time all smiles and congratulating each other. Much better. More of the same second half please. Don’t get the ‘hold onto this‘ thoughts which force us deep. Just keep playing. COYR!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
