Spike Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 Honestly, Atkinson and Naismith with no clue who was going to close down! This back 3 needs a leader! Nige should tell one of them to call who closes down, like in that situation Naismith should be telling Atkinson to close down if he is going to stand off. Atkinson, Naismith and Vyner all seem to want to be that last man who doesn't commit to challenges and you can't have that in a back three, at the very least we need a leader in the back three who will communicate what should be happening. This is why I don't think a back three ever works well, because it's so rare to find a centre back who can not only play well in a back three but can lead the back three with clear commands.

Absolutely shambolic from both Atkinson and Naismith there. Quote Link to comment
pillred Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 With a former defender as a manager we are very poor in the very area you would expect us to excel in. 3 Quote Link to comment

Didn’t need commands there. Atkinson just had to cover the space or close down and the lad can’t score. Quote Link to comment
old_eastender Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 Oh come on wells, played in by Conway and he makes a heavy touch and loses it Quote Link to comment
redkev Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 However exciting we have been to watch this year with our approach we are going nowhere with the amount of goals we concede . We are deffo not relegation material as we have looked previous years but just by the sheer amount of goals we concede we will be a fair way off the play offs , I truly hope I’m wrong because when we start playing it’s great to watch but stats will tell you if you concede the amount we do your gonna struggle to make progress 2 Quote Link to comment

Spike Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 Burnley look to have us sussed, running our strikers about as much as possible without moving too much themselves, burn us out, prevent us getting possession. Dangerous game to play if we push forward and can actually close them down but right now it looks like they have total control. Quote Link to comment

pillred Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 Who would swap Prestons solid yet probably boring style that gets results for our terrible defending that's exciting to watch, it's a hard one. Quote Link to comment
AshtonRobin21 Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 The irony their fans shouting 'hoof' every time we make a clearance. They spent almost 10 years playing that style of football in the Prem. Quote Link to comment

One of the advantages should be of keeping a stable back line is they get to know eachother, partnerships build etc. That goal looked like they had never played together before. Ho hum.
