Kibs Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Now before anyone starts, I'm a Johnson fan and still have faith in him but sometimes his team selections and tactics are baffling to say the least!I hope he has the bottle to say he got it wrong, We are never going to score in a million years with a line up consisting of 4 centre half's, A right back, 2 centre midfielders and 3 strikers!! I realise we are injury it and have players cuptied but how can you expect to create anything with that sort of line up!! Theres better balance in my bank account and that aint exactly healthy!Stroll on saturday where we MUST WITHOUT FAIL bounce back and get 3 points.
Redhyde Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 It was another weird line-up from GJ.5 defenders 2 midfielders and 3 strikers in a mess of a formation.We'll have much more options on Saturday and no doubt we'll play a sensible formation and team too.
i_am_red Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 And please GJ save the crap excuses don't make us anymore of a luaghing stock
Guest midlandno2 Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 I'd be amazed if GJ takes any blame for this. 5 defenders at home in the first leg against a mid table division four team is not good enough. I want to see us bully teams at AG not defend and try to counter, GJ grow some balls!!!
Brianred Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 And please GJ save the crap excuses don't make us anymore of a luaghing stockGJ needs to find the winning formula, then keep it, NO more chopping and changing! Has he too many players to keep happy?
Clevedon Red Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 GJ needs to find the winning formula, then keep it, NO more chopping and changing! Has he too many players to keep happy?He found the winning formula in the last 2 away games when he had other players available. Have faith.
samo Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 GJ owes us a promotion! Like Clevedon Red said, we've got crucial wins away recently and so let us put this behind us and look for a responce on saturday against Northampton.COME ON YOU REDS!
exiledinwatford Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 He found the winning formula in the last 2 away games when he had other players available. Have faith.Our squad was easily good enough - he screwed up last Wednesday.Northampton need to be on the end of a backlash. I think GJ will get the squad in the right frame of mind - I hope he does particularly from the start!
Percy Parrot Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I too like Johnson but think over the two games he got it wrong. If we play a simple game (simple formation, simple passes etc) we know we are better than the Rovers. Messing things about gives them a great chance to get it wrong. Over the two games Rovers deserved the win, we didn't look like we would score and we did lack quality- but I think this was mainly because of the formation. We never really got in behind them.Over 2 games, 4-4-2 we'd have done them in my opinion.
Admin Maesknoll Posted February 28, 2007 Admin Posted February 28, 2007 GJ needs to find the winning formula, then keep it, NO more chopping and changing! Has he too many players to keep happy?The chopping and changing was enforced though, cup tied and injured players unavailable.Over the two legs we were suckered in and drawn down to their level, I've got bloody neckache for the amount of time that the ball was in the air..............
Portishead Red Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Guys don't aim your anger at johnson, sure he was the one who put out the team and tactics but it was the PLAYERS who totally bottled it. They wernt up for it and looked like they didnt even want to be there.Midfield last night (comments based on last night only)Johnson - cant tackle cant head and based on last night, cant passNoble - cant tackle cant head and has one pace - slowShowunmi - is NOT a midfielder - didnt want to be there, waste of spaceKeogh - Best of a bad bunch. Commited and would run through brick walls, easily our best player - then taken off!!!!!!!£500k down the pan whichever way you look at it. IF we do go up we are going to get a hiding nearly every week.WE NEED WINGERS JOHNSON, NOT STRIKERS WHO HAVE NEVER SCORED IN ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just what we need. Although i think hes injured at the mo...
