Seriously NEED someone who can play up front. Who would you put on instead of Britt? We don't have another fit striker. Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Coventry are organised enough that if we keep up the slow build-up, they're gonna deal with it. We need to do better down the sides. If you want someone on that left-hand side who can beat a man and get a cross in, it's bloody Hayden Coulson. This game is made for him. Very little defending necessary if we keep them backed against the wall, defend against what width they have by being aggressive down the wings. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Can only hope 2nd half is better. Maybe Warnock has seen some chinks in Coventry's seemingly impenetrable defence. 😉 Link to post Share on other sites
mj south 610 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Isn't Saville playing in a front 3 with Britt and Roberts? I'd consider taking him off for Browne as he has looked abit leggy Link to post Share on other sites
pikerman 1,089 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 The problem is we have no width to put hard low crosses in and no tall centre forward or two so we can go route one, in other words we are toothless. Coventry well organised but I bet they wish they could play against our attack every week. This cant go on, NW needs to take a gamble and mix it up, is Browne on the bench Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,043 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 We need to move the ball faster like we did at the end of the half. We need Coulson and Browne Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 A win will put us on par with the playoffs. We really need to take these three points. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Their keeper looks relatively shaky too, keep the pressure on him and get him dealing with things, shots, crosses, anything. Even half a chance to get a shot off on the edge of their box shouldn't be wasted right now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Sloooowwwww... I know we are never going to play like Liverpool, but what happened to a bit of good old fashioned pace down the wings? We just keep playing around in front of them and trying to hit balls through them...and invariably lose possession. Link to post Share on other sites
White Band 831 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I think my sleeping cat is probably more interesting than that half was. Even she knows that it wasn't worth watching today - normally she loves watching football. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Runs about like a headless chicken and trips over his own feet most of the time. Awful outlet. Nope. He’s a young lad who could be a good attacking right back if he’s ever given the chance. He isn’t a wing back or a winger, he doesn’t have the skill for the latter and he gets isolated with the former. Play him at right back and let him get settled there with an attacking player in front of him and you’ll see the best of him. That’s when his pace can be most useful and I think he will be better coming into the attack from deeper positions and getting a head of steam up rather than getting the ball further forward and having to use skill that he doesn’t really have. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,678 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Get Roberts behind Britt, and Tav and Browne either side. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
