Only Blue Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 The fact that we are now debating whether our goalkeeper should be allowed to try and get a goal for us rather than the 10 in front of him really does show how sad the situation has got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Watching England women v Belguim. A joy to see a manager who promotes exciting passing attacking football. Playing with 2 wingers too, so much for being extinct and unworkable in the modern game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah 20 years ago, when players could tackle without giving away a free kick, and trying to con the ref was in its infancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeP Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 10 hours ago, nzlatic said: That's the same thing is it not? Taking our situation out of it completely, if you did analysis on an opponent and saw they had a couple of midfielders who were dangerous 20 yards out but they were poor out wide, then you could let the team have space outside and focus more on shutting them down centrally. If they had loads of space out wide and did nothing with it, that's not good luck, that's good planning. My main issue with Unsworth is that it appears that our tactics are league based rather than team based. As if he's calculated that if we play this way against everyone we'll pick up enough points to move away from the relegation zone. He's probably right. But it's not going to sell season tickets and it's not going to lead to a sustained challenge for promotion next season. It needs to change. Hoping every team misses or Norman saves everything in the most insane tactic going. And it's not horses for courses, it's the same tactic against every team we play. 8 hours ago, League one forever said: You and I both said for weeks, show us something, anything, to get behind. He’s gone on a run of one loss in eight. Now it appears, your previous comments were hollow and nothing he can do will change your mind. Fine. But just say that. No matter how many wins he gets from here you won’t him gone. If we beat Chesterfield I’d expect you to say not good enough. I know he’s really struggling, I have said many times he isn’t capable of expansive football, and ultimately I don’t think he’ll be a success with us; which in itself is reason to let him go. But not giving him any credit for a recent good run is just bizarre. It's a bloody long way back for him from my point of view, granted. You seem to have made quite a U-turn - I don't know what you've seen to "get behind". He's approached every game the same way since day one. This "run" hasn't happened because he's changed what wasn't working - it's because the opposition have been poor and not capitalised on the numerous opportunities we give them. As soon as we run out of luck, it's back to form. Like last night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know even when we win the football is still shit, nor do I think we’ll do anything with him in charge. I’m just prepared to cut him a bit of slack when we win- that’s my only point. For him to win, and people to still say- not good enough- is bizarre in my view. It’s like people who slate strikers for being lazy when they score 15/20 goals. That being said, you do feel last nights performance is always coming/expected- and that in itself speak volumes. If he went tomorrow he could have no complaints overall.
