Wanderingred Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 We are being totally outplayed all over the pitch by a team currently in 15th. They are light years ahead of us, and this is probably our strongest team. I don’t think we have what it takes to stay in this division. 6 Quote Link to comment

You can coach playing a style and to build from the back, but that is just poor decision making on an individual level 2 1 Quote Link to comment

But **** me what chance have we got when we do this every week. I will, it must be his instructions to play out from the back when it's clear for everyone to see (except him) we ain't good enough to do it 2 Quote Link to comment

No, it’s basic decision making. Do you coach the team to lump the ball aimlessly forward just in case a calamitous goal like that is conceded? Of course you don’t. You rely on pro footballers to be able to make decisions that aren’t ******* downright stupidity. 10 1 2 Quote Link to comment
MelksRed Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Swansea excellent at dealing with high balls and heading back to the keeper. Yet will still persist with lumping it and hoping. Not going to work today. Change of approach needed before a second. Equally...why are we playing backward from a freekick.....? Quote Link to comment
AshtonRobin21 Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 This is a painful watch. We are chasing shadows, and they are just bypassing our midfield so easily. Quote Link to comment

B1ackbird Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 We haven't had a penalty for so long no one knows who the penalty taker is ( probably Lee Mathews) Atkinson grabs the ball to make amends for earlier and passes it straight to a Swansea player.... Quote Link to comment

Despite two good away points on paper, we still can't win. Together with not getting the right decisions and potentially losing our best talents, it doesn't bode well. Most of the teams around us have brought more than one player in while we wait for the best deal. We need players in NOW. 1 Quote Link to comment

My mates a Southampton fan and said he is looking forward to our dour 1-1 draws next season. I advised that’s unlikely as we will likely be hosting Stevenage. Quote Link to comment
Negan Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Nothing new. Watch this football every week. Those 2 away draws might have looked alright but it’s just prolonged the shit show even longer. Can’t blame Nige for the goal but this awful football is down to him. 2 years of it now 4 Quote Link to comment

You rely on pro footballers to be able to make decisions that aren’t ******* downright stupidity. Our decision making has not improved under Pearson. I don’t want to aimlessly lump it no, but also when needed it has too (and we’d of not of made the mistakes for the goals). Don’t play players who make mistakes like that / or play a more direct style if you haven’t got the personal to play out from the back. Quote Link to comment

If he didn't have as bad financial restrictions we would have been able to improve the squad. Its that simple. 1 Quote Link to comment
Johnr1986 Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Our set up just doesn’t suit the players we have, totally overwhelmed in midfield james too slow and not mobile enough for a two and Scott taking away his ability to go forward , todays game would be an ideal time to try a 4-2-3-1 and see how we fair , Pearson is so stubborn it’s insane 1 Quote Link to comment

Professional footballers are allowed to make decisions, can’t be coached for every possible scenario. Most football fans are stuck in the 1990s when it comes to tactics. Getting it forward at all costs is now a bygone era. You barely see any teams play that way anymore, even in League 2. Football has evolved from this dinosaur style tactics for the betterment of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment
