If he did, I think he'd be here by now. He'll probably be able to get a high end Championship or lower end premier league offer. Link to post Share on other sites
TheJew 2,937 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 On a positive note we have pressed quite well. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like to see Tav come out of the 3 in midfield and play just off Britt and Fletch. Playing this formation it's important to get the midfield into the box and get lots of crosses in - we are doing neither at the moment. The stats said we have had 15 crosses tbf. Only 5 successful though. Link to post Share on other sites

AnglianRed 6,320 Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 Well that was a pretty decent half...right up until that corner. Bournemouth lucky to be 1-0 up at the break...don't think they deserve to be. Both sides were pretty evenly matched and neither side had looked like scoring until then. Don't know if thats because the Cherries are playing below par, or Warnock & co worked out an effective lineup and game plan to deal with them. Either way we looked a lot better than in recent games...just failed to really test the visitors' keeper. We're going to have to change that second half. Link to post Share on other sites

Both them, particularly Johnson, are capable of decent crosses. But where do you stand as a forward in that box when they are ready to deliver? It's a bloody lottery. Johnson ranges from spanking it all the way across for a throw-in to a casual tap in the direction of the box straight into a defending midfielder. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldnt, Savilles 3-4 times this game has anticipated passes when theyve played out from the back and won the ball high up the pitch. Wing all he seems to do is give the ball back to opposition recently. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I honestly don't see a player in there Neither do i really. He’s similar to Wing. Came into the team and completely took the opportunity and couldn’t do much wrong. As time has went on, the real standard of both players has shone through, specifically Wing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,938 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Bournemouth definitely don't deserve to be ahead, but i don't think we do either. We've shaded the general play but you need to create chances to deserve a lead. Link to post Share on other sites

It's certainly not been that common. Good pressing from us has helped as it's knocked them off their game a bit 👍 Link to post Share on other sites
