ZiderEyed Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Is there a criticism to be made about a naivety through his devotion to “style”? If it wins you the game but doesn’t fit culturally,is that Manning-friendly? Quote Link to comment

George Rs Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Personally I think we are 3-4 players short of this kind of system working. A left footed left winger, attacking midfielder, a goalkeeper and potentially a striker but that’s probably the lowest on the list with wells coming back (and hopefully the other 3 will contribute to better chances being created for our current strikers.) 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Top Robin Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 On a positive note - for short spells in that second half we actually looked really good - just need to be more consistent 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Curr Avon Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Lets play with some confidence on Saturday from the start and we might even win! Seriously though, if we took our chances we draw the game. Scoring goals is a big issue. Lets get behind the lads Saturday. Oh, and Mehmeti likely to start, after slowly re-discovering his mojo. Keep it up Anis and prove me wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment

ray savino Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Biggest disappointment for me is that we only started playing with any real intensity and bravery at 2-0 down. First half trying to keep possession we kept giving it away a passing back to Max to hoof aimlessly to give it away. We started playing at a tempo that gave Blackburn more problems once we had no choice to throw off the shackles and go for it. We then started to look good and looked like we might scrape the draw. I maintain if we want to play the patient build up stuff, all very well but we needed up the tempo and take some risks first half. Seriously need for at least a couple or three key/good recruits to bolster this team and getting our injured players back in January. Worry for me is that if we don’t get a couple of wins very soon we could easily get dragged into the bottom part of the table. Actually think we’ve got enough to keep clear, but we can’t carry on playing for parts of games. Losing by the odd goal and playing half decent is still losing whatever. Big, big performance and more importantly result needed against Sunderland (beat Leeds 1-0 tonight) to go into the Xmas period more confidence and take some pressure off the team and manager. 5 Quote Link to comment

It is a flawed system, why should we set up this way, when we lack a true RWB, a 3rd ball carrying CB for 2. Quote Link to comment

Red Billy Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 For me the team that was on the pitch at 60 minutes should have been the team that started. Too much rotation at the moment is disrupting our cohesion. In isolation we look really good but in the majority quite poor. Manning, like any other manager who could have come in is going to need a couple of windows to make his mark but I can’t fathom some of the team selections presently. 2 Quote Link to comment
bearded_red Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 If people keep telling themselves ‘the football is better in places’ I’m sure it’ll come true eventually. But it isn't. It’s crap. I liked having a style of play that suited our squad rather than one that doesn’t make use of their strengths and exposes their weaknesses. Got rid or a pragmatic manager that knew how to get the best out of his players for one that wants to coach out of the textbook. Oh and by they way, I’m certain other teams allow their most dangerous attacking player to play 90 minutes rather than dragging him off every single game. 3 2 Quote Link to comment

Granted he makes a nuisance of himself, but that's about it. If I had a choice on current form (at least 6 weeks) I'd choose Cornick over Sam Bell any day of the week. Not sure what position is Sam's best. Not a winger, not a CF and currently it's like playing with 10 men. Quote Link to comment

ray savino Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Got to say that Dickie has looked a bargain at 700k? Need a few more in January. Think Mr Lansdown is going to have to let go of some of that Scott money this January. 3 Quote Link to comment
Mr Popodopolous Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 If anyone is interested. Our first loss to Blackburn since June 2020, likewise our first loss there since then. Under Lee Johnson. Plus only our 2nd loss there in 8 years, another record! Quote Link to comment
redkev Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 We’re playing better football without doubt but in spells and look really good , but we are just not converting chances , no matter how well we play in games we are simply not picking up points , I hate cliches but here’s one losing becomes a habit in any team game , I fear we have got into that habit let’s hope it doesn’t become an addiction we are very quickly eating up the points to the bottom 3 2 Quote Link to comment

mozo Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) For 58 minutes we were absolutely dreadful. Robins TV comms was actually interesting for once with Kal and Nakhi really struggling to understand the long balls down the centre and the lack of movement and leadership. The last half hour was pretty decent and if we had an in form striker to aim for we might have nicked a point. Finally there was passing and moving and Mehmeti had a little more joy than usual. Needs to be much better than that in the future though. Edited December 12, 2023 by mozo 1 1 Quote Link to comment
