Curle's tactics are just unbelievable. 3 defensive midfielders and he says we must get forward more and score goals.

oafc1955 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Yes, we’ve had registration problems and a fair few injuries but only 1 win and 4 points from the opening 8 home games is absolutely dire and not acceptable. We’ll struggle to amass even 40 points at this rate and IMO having Adams, Hart, and Hopcutt back will not make the slightest difference whatsoever! The fact that the ’s don’t want to spend any more money is probably the reason Curle still has a job because under normal circumstances he’d be well gone. This is easily the worst squad squad in living memory and If Carlisle and Scunthorpe manage a decent January window, personally, I think we’re fucked!

Hands on Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Well I was there! It isn’t simply that they collectively aren’t good enough it was another attempt to play three at the back. The showing from half time when we played 4 was better. Hope isn’t the striker we need but he does at least commit the defence whereas first half a stroll in the park with the out of position Bambouzle. We would improve if the missing players become available. Why so many are missing is a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvlatic Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 That was an embarrassing performance (and that's putting it VERY mildly)too many square pegs running around like headless chickens. Positives: clarke at least showing a bit of bite and err..that's about it for me. The rest were fkng garbage- shit formation shit tempo shit attitude = shit result.

I wouldn’t mind so much if he showed any inclination to change things in game but he just stands there and finally makes like for like subs in the 80th minute And don’t get me started on playing a right back (Clarke) on the left of a back 3 first half bollocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archiecat Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 First team we encounter who can score a goal ( let's not get carried away with Swindon,they are by no means prolific ) and our supposedly mean defence decide to go walkabout. This team and it's manager are the worst i have ever seen in all my years of watching. We are well and truly up shit creek,anyone expecting there to be a couple of teams worse than us is deluded.

Mcgahey and pier are ok, Clarke is much better right back and couto can do a better job at left back than he can at wing back. It’s the featherweight 3 in front that make it hard. Battache may as well not be there and whelan and Bowden are too lightweight to play together. Diarra has to be in to tackle, not that he’s great but he puts his foot in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluehobbit Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Curle lost us that one. Once again we don't have the players for this 3 at the back 1 up top nonsense. If your playing Bam up front at least give him a partner to work with. Hope got cought out a lot as a wing back and I'm glad that experiment ended.. Too lightweight in midfield with all 3 of Bettache, Bowden and Whealen failing to make tackles. Why play all 3? Stick Vaughan in for one of them. At least he's positive and will try and go forward. Lucky to only be one down at the break but we managed to show some degree of fight and got a foothold and as soon as we pressured their back line openings appeard but we are so thin on quality we couldn't make anything of it. Both Bam and Dkd were awful and nothing worked for either of them. Swindon looked decent but didn't get out of first gear in the first 45. Why can't we start on the front foot more often. We must find a way too strengthen other wise our league stay, surely, is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayfield Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Worrying performance today, clearly not progressing or learning from previous errors. Reminiscent of a couple of games under Dino when we fell to pieces and didnt have a clue how to respond. The manager can point at the limitations of his squad but this does not justify poor tactics. Didnt expect Faysal to be in the first eleven, he struggles to influence the game, I would argue Raphael could have offered more today. Defense had too much to do again, the ball comes straight back, Benny Couto continues to impress. We have moved on from Harry Kewell's cavalier road to nowhere style, which was entertaining, to a winless slide into relegation. The bench was weak today, baffled that Dylan Fage wasn't introduced. Bringing on the young and clearly talented Isaac Modi really odd. With five teams now dropping away from mid table, we are already in deep trouble. If the squad cannot be improved, hard to see a positive outcome, I believe relegation is akin to oblivion for this club. Presumably any settlement of EFL loan is predicated by sale of one or more players, I fear it is several players, with no certainty that the owner would reinvest the proceeds. Very good call on BBC Manchester just after the game from David, spoke very well about how we feel, the word is sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperKeeper Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 You can't stay up with just draws You can't win unless you score You can't score if you don't get the ball You can't get the ball with that midfield and if you don't press and tackle Would ditch any number of players in January if it means we get 2x midfielders who can win a ball and 1x striker who can score at least 1 in 3.

I’ve just got back, apologies for the delay in responding That performance today was the worst I have seen from Bahamboula. I have to agree that everything, from his demeanour to the white long johns, was shocking. He was not alone though, as so many in a blue shirt simply did not play well. Whelan, Bettache, Bowden, DKD, Hope and Bahamboula had dreadful games. The lack of energy and desire was exacerbated by poor decision making and poor technical skills.

Great move from Curle to completely ruin our most potent attacking threat when running at the opposition by having him playing with his back to goal.
