If Ss continues with this style of play we are going nowhere,too many long balls hoofed to one player up front. Even goalkeeper Cooper is now told to punt it up front whereas he always played it from the back. Totally disillusioned by these tactics, flowing football out the window, we just missed out on the playoffs playing foot ball from the back with two up front why change.We might as well sell Jephcott he won’t get a look in playing this system. Not a happy chappie, what are your thoughts?
Totally disagree tbh.
Last week we passed it around the back 3 and GK as Barnsley pressed us second half. Almost getting caught. So l don’t get this thing about pumping the ball long when they were taking risks in last game.
Last year our CB’s get the ball and fire it long to Hardie. Time after time we just watched him chase the long ball down the field.
It’s a myth about front foot football. Passed it side to side amongst the back 3. The wing backs get the ball and we went nowhere until we eventually give it to Mayor when he could get forward enough from midfield. We’d then say go on, you beat players for us and create a chance for our forwards.
This league is very competitive and we going to suffer more days like this until we can get our squad up to a better standard. It’s a good team but when Peterborough have Marriott and Johnson Clarke-Harris as a front two unfortunately that shows we quite haven’t got that talent that is clinical enough in the final third. That’s where patience comes into it and we have to grow the club so we can get better attacking players for this level.
People may say that’s being defeatist. The truth is we talk about budgets and those that are superior. We say as fans we understand the budget constraints. Yet do we? As go and look at Ipswich, Portsmouth, Derby, Sheffield Wednesday spend on their squad and then look at ours. That’s is the difference unfortunately.
