It'll be a bit of that, but we're getting shots on target obviously. They won't all have been straight at the keeper like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan1234 1,129 3.1k Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Not sure why so many of you are clamouring for 5 at the back after that first 30 mins against Norwich. Was absolutely horrific with zero threat at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's chopped and changed so much (partly due to injuries) the players haven't had time to get used to playing any particular way. A bit of continuity might help... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we have no wingbacks and you're essentially dropping Azaz for Mcnair. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was absolutely horrific with zero threat at all. We aren't advocating the flat back 5 that we started with which was ridiculously negative and invited pressure onto us. More the 3 central defenders we morphed into after the red card with Ayling and Engel getting up and down the flanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,746 8k Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) No complaints there given what we have available . Hopefully Jones will get a bit of a run out today. Can't predict today at all. QPR are as unpredictable as us. Could be any score or result but we do owe them one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pikerman 1,228 2.3k Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 3 at the back 4 at the back or 5, it makes no difference until you sort out the midfield cover in front of them. We were appalling in that first twenty minutes against Norwich and it all stems from the same problem not having midfielders who compete for the ball and who repeatedly get the wrong side of their man. Hopefully Carrick will have seen what we all saw on Wednesday and has had time to adapt his tactics otherwise I fear the worst today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
