qwertyell Posted 18 April, 2021 Share Posted 18 April, 2021 Well, we're still alive. Playing the usual rubbish; slow passing moves that inevitably end up back with the goalkeeper who hoofs it. But we haven't lost yet. Lots of mistakes being made though that Leicester will surely take advantage of eventually. Not really clear what the plan is - we're not pressing much in attack or sitting back defending deep. Or anything really. We're just sort of there.

Playing Jankewitz is a huge risk. If he comes on and gets sent off or looks disinterested, we've thrown the game away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydney_saint Posted 18 April, 2021 Share Posted 18 April, 2021 I was watching a video with ings and Bertrand yesterday. I found it interesting to the question 'who is the teachers pet' they quickly and unanimously said Redmond.

Teddeer Posted 18 April, 2021 Share Posted 18 April, 2021 (edited) That was a totally negative first half from us. We are afraid to move the ball forward quickly and would rather dwell on it, go backwards, rinse and repeat. If that continues there is only going to be one winner. Time to see if Ralph has any tactical nous to change the direction of a match. Edited 18 April, 2021 by Teddeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinSFC Posted 18 April, 2021 Share Posted 18 April, 2021 Just now, CB Fry said: Our first option seems to be to go backwards or find Fraser. Pretty pathetic performance. We're fortunate that Leicester not exactly on fire. We can't seem to trigger an attack from where we actually win the ball. It seems we can only start an attack from the back. And if that is the case, you need players in the middle who can pass the ball efficiently. Diallo was giving it away immediately almost everytime he got it and Leicester were nearly scoring everytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted 18 April, 2021 Share Posted 18 April, 2021 We're stifling the game but it's not bad tactic. Leicester not really done anything other than a couple of breaks when we've given the ball away. Would have been interesting to see what would have happened if we'd gone more attacking. Might have sneaked a goal but could have easily been carved apart. I'm not displeased at all so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk Posted 18 April, 2021 Share Posted 18 April, 2021 (edited) Mixed bag of emotions still. Finding it hard to think rationally and not as a fan. I’m utterly bemused by Ralph, his playing philosophy and squad selection. It’s absolutely mortifying that the only players that attempt to play through opposition is our CB’s. Diallo & JWP just recycle possession and do it in some incredibly dangerous scenarios (matched up 3v3 or in an enclosed space). Diallo concentrating on not getting the second yellow. Redmond picking up spaces in between lines but does it every time with his hips square and back to goal, he either turns and then slows down or then turns and drags his touch sideways. Moussa, is just a rabbit in headlights, his ‘unorthodoxness’ is a sin as much as it is a blessing (he barely looks balanced) On the other hand, pleased we’ve not conceded but hate the fact we don’t attempt to light up the game, any Leicester attack has been at the fault of our own.

Chez Posted 18 April, 2021 Share Posted 18 April, 2021 We need a bit more threat up front. Adams is the obvious choice, but we could do with some pace so maybe Tella. Redmond didnt see a lot of the ball but he gave it away badly once and then when the opportunity to break was there he looked like he didn't have the confidence (perhaps in his pace) to go all the way.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 18 April, 2021 Share Posted 18 April, 2021 Ralph’s plan to contain them in the first half has worked! Just need to switch on the magic now. Be nice if the ref actually remembered that he can use the yellow card on Leicester players too! Some of their fouls have been cynical attempts to nibble our players - shocking that they’ve not been booked. COYS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
