If Salisu doesn’t do that terribly underhit pass then Forster would have got rid of it for us. Before that goal, I wanted to say this looks like 2 mid-table teams going through the motions, Watford didn’t show any urgency to suggest they’re down there but now they’ve got a goal they have a spring in their step. I don’t think we will score in this half unless it’s a lucky ricochet or a goalmouth scramble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttawaSaint Posted 13 March, 2022 Share Posted 13 March, 2022 We forget how to lose and then forget how to win. Makes winning a cup impossible. We inevitably have a bad streak that coincides with a cup match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 13 March, 2022 Share Posted 13 March, 2022 We're going to ahve to have learned from the last match , in how to break teams down. Poor choice from Adams there.

AlexLaw76 Posted 13 March, 2022 Share Posted 13 March, 2022 Yep, Watford are doing what Villa/Newcastle did. Defend deep, narrow and in numbers, and look to hit us long on the break (as we have so much space behind our fullbacks). We have to be better when teams figure us out - probably why we are Ralph's level 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point if you want to nit pick terminology. It was the same after covid as well. Let’s hope we find a different way to play sooner than 30 odd games as the last run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallagroth Posted 13 March, 2022 Share Posted 13 March, 2022 It’s not the tactics that’s the issue it’s the mentality of the players. Same setup same squad but gone from individuals playing passes like Brazil to playing passes like a pub team. The issue is our players confidence and the inability to overcome doubts and fears once something goes wrong. It’s 100% psychological but it’s frustrating as hell because it hasn’t been addressed over the past 12 months. Once we slump no one gets them out of it quick enough and it takes a large break to do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
