Tanlee Posted 15 September, 2023 Share Posted 15 September, 2023 If we go and try and win this in the 2nd half I reckon we might concede 3 more, but what fucking choice does he have.. Schoolboy shit situations create by us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 15 September, 2023 Share Posted 15 September, 2023 Leicester could dominate the game because we gift them a goal. If we don't turn up, then it's that much harder to bring out our own possession game. We looked uncomfortable passing it out from the back. Lack of familiarity in both shape and personnel. So we give it away and it's two down. Persisting with so many forward at corners, is going to cost us. We got away with a couple, and teams will look to exploit that. If we lose it in the middle, we leave acres of space in the full back positions. Yet,Leicester had their fair share of errors. We got one in, but had two go for one effort and a header that could have gone better. The third before the break came from Leicester being happy to keep it until the break, but taking our invite to push past us. Bazunu has had a good game. He looked a bit pressured once, but has mixed it up, saved strongly and faced up to having to deal with our high line. Fraser looks direct and AA is putting in his usual shift. Edozie got back for a solid tackle, as well as getting a goal. We miss Charles in midfield. Smallbone does some things well, but doesn't break it up, and get in front of shots / block as well when Leicester are pushing through. Our tactic has got us forward a bit more, without creating chances. At the same time, we've looked more than shaky at the back. A quick second could get us back into it, but we're chasing this and our opponents should be experienced enough to see it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 15 September, 2023 Share Posted 15 September, 2023 (edited) Baffles me how so called professional footballers can't get the basics of the game right. Pretty much every single goal we concede is self inflicted. I'm not one to jump to conclusions but can't see us being anywhere near promotion contention this season. Crazy given the amount of talent we have (on paper). Edited 15 September, 2023 by trousers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashnats Posted 15 September, 2023 Share Posted 15 September, 2023 Don't think anyone can blame baz or Martin for this one. If you have players who aren't paying attention and passing it to the opposition, that's what will happen. Baz showed there is nothing wrong with the tactic of playing it out if you are comfortable on the ball. Plenty of goals left in this, and it's a game of two halves. Maybe we can still win this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no defensive mid, so we're constantly outnumbered when we lose the ball. That is on Martin and lineup - it's a simple fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 15 September, 2023 Share Posted 15 September, 2023 (edited) Forum performing about as well as the team, got more 502 Gateways than goals. Sulemana on, slightly harsh in Edozie but tbf would’ve like to have started with him. Desperately need Smallbone to get a backbone and give us something in midfield, Downes too, they’ve been anonymous. Edit, as said a knick for Edozie.
