Changing Times 12,220 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Just now, DanFromDownSouth said: Against Brentford we definitely had Clayton sitting deep and Wing and NcNair pressing further up. In a 3 man midfield triangle. Seems like we have gone away from that completely. Oh yeah, I get that. But that's only part of our game plan surely? I said the other day that in my opinion the only thing that's really different between this season and last is how high we are trying to defend up the pitch. Now we press, last season we didn't and were happier to drop back. What about with the ball though, where's the improvement cos I'm not seeing it. Link to post Share on other sites
LBP 3,012 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I just don't get like people have said, if we had no ambition why didn't we just cash in on Britt and co? Could've made us financially able to actually have a go at scoring more than a goal a game next season Link to post Share on other sites

Ragnar 48 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I have to say, that if Gibson was in charge of the NHS and picked my doctors, I'd be dead now............he's an even worse chairman than Mike Ashley and you know what N/cle fans think of him...............it is time he went along with all of the board. I think Woody is going to be another Mogga............local hero to bluddy zero Link to post Share on other sites

The play before wings goal vs Luton was great and I dont think we would have seen it under pulis. But yes, certainly havent seen any consistent improvement. Link to post Share on other sites

Brunners 7,952 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Here's the penalty decision, this behind the goal angle actually suggests it's a lot softer than it originally looked, but there is a small tug there. Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 If this performance carries on does he come out and repeat 'terrible performance' that he already used in midweek? He's putting himself in such a weak position people can blame Gibson for hiring him but he's turned us into a soft centred ill disciplined team very quickly just like Monk did it's really not good enough the excuses don't run that deep when you keep Britt/Randolph.

BillinghamBoro 229 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 This is horrid so far. Trying to find positives but cannot see anything, rovers have controlled the game so far and we've barely challenged them. I honestly am struggling to see where our next point is coming from. Hoping to see a much improved second half but not holding my breath. Stupid play from Dijksteel. Link to post Share on other sites

Not much in it really although there probably is a bit of contact I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites
