The football isn’t that different to last season, clearly we’re a long way off being as successful as last season for obvious reasons. So we accept that we move up a league and then don't bother to improve, just play the same? Almost as if we're going to continue doing the same thing over and over, whilst expecting a different result, which is the definition of madness isn't it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't recognise the change which was brought on by McCarthy not being able to pass out. The result was that we were much more direct and turned around a disasterous run of losses which had scuppered any chance of direct promotion. I gave Martin the credit for that however it may have been an unintended consequence, either way it worked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm well aware we changed goalkeeper for those games because (if we're being pedantic about such minute details) I watched those games and at least one of the goals we scored included a short pass from McCarthy to his defenders and us "passing out" but again...things are much more nuanced than "THIS KEEPER ISNT AS COMFORTABLE AS OTHERS AND WE WON SO OUR TACTICS MUST HAVE CHANGED COMPLETELY WHY CANT WE DO THAT AGAIN ITS SO OBVIOUS OMG!!!" And again...if we're talking things you haven't recognised...you seem to be omitting the fact that we had success against those teams with Bazanu in goal too.

Tragic that the club are repeating Lowe’s mistakes with PR people infiltrating supporter forums. They are getting so obvious now on their trolling as Rupert’s lot did. I except Notnowcato from this, has different views from 99.9% of the site but he and Lighthouse are actual fans who happen to be big fans of Martin’s - disagree but still respect them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint86 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 A win and a clean sheet, and a bit of luck perhaps (for once this season). Will take that (obviously). Lets see if we can get a win out of Wolves somehow - would be absolutely massive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloucester Saint Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 Again, the best spell in the game is when we moved the ball quicker and overwhelmed Everton. When we reverted to Martinball, we were back to being a constant risk of conceding and flat. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint86 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 Interesting stat on today's stream. It took Dyche 11 games to get his first win in the prem, he went on to keep Burnley up that year. Martin has done it in 10... A glimmer of hope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh a win would be brilliant but a draw wouldn't be the worst result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving the ball faster - when we did that Everton struggled to cope and the goal was a classic example. We need to mix it up more and try more shots from the edge of the box, work their keeper more. Sometimes you get rebounds or an error and cash in. Ramsdale is getting worked harder every game and need to ask more questions of the opposition. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of our usual play resulted in a goal. A departure from that to quick direct passing on the counter attack did. By the way, if you enjoy the way he wants us to play as you mentioned before you must have hated the goal we scored.

You do realise that the whole, "obsessed with possession, I don't care if we lose as long as it's over 70%, only allowed to pass backwards and sideways," thing is only an internet meme? We play a largely passing game but we've scored plenty of goals direct and/or on the counter. On Tuesday we played it long down the right for Armstrong to run onto several times and put some long balls in to TP, everyone just pretended it never happened. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the real world, at the game he looked clearly offside but I could swear that nobody noticed those red and blue lines across the pitch.

I used the term ‘offside goal’ in the context of what could have happened in the last few minutes. Yet you and others can only concentrate on the word ‘offside’. Surely everybody knows what an offside goal is? Surely? *pedant alert* It’s not actually possible to be a mile offside. 😎 Lighten up.
