vectraman Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Anyone who takes Fernandes off who is playing very well, for Will fucking Smallbone needs sacking.

Jack Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 What’s with not defending the edge of our box, again. Yes the ref was awful but Russ has done nothing to address our obvious issues. Not responding to Fatawu coming on, as if Manning on a booking and Fraser were going to deal with that. Get him gone. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you've got an experienced left back on the bench who has played in the Premier League and was probably unlucky to be dropped but smartarse Russ thinks it's a better idea to bring on a guy who plays as a winger.

Saint86 Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 (edited) 8 minutes ago, Jimmy_D said: If we’re ever see Taylor referring us again it’ll be too soon. Agreed. Should have been allowed the corner, they were passing it around 40yards out at walking speed when 7min ticked by. The bias on fouls and yellows all game. The non penalty. Just a joke. Every little decision went against us this game consistently. The corner is a carbon copy of the Ipswich set up though. Zero excuse for that. Sackable offence to concede two goals like that in the 90+6 etc minutes to Ipswich and Leicester. Shocking. Furious actually.

Costa del Solent Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 I’m sure many have mentioned it but too pissed off to read through the thread. Leicesters winner a carbon copy of the mistake made against Ipswich. Russ substitutions are poor and players coached to sit deep in the box leaving so much space around the areas for skilled players to pick out corners. No room for sentiment in football. Russ is a personable guy and is clearly well regarded by players. He is, however, tactically out of his depth in the premier league 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMrsWallace Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 As soon as they pulled one back it seemed inevitable. It's so obvious RM can't coach defending and at this level it's being ruthlessly exposed.

RedArmy Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 All the focus will be on Martin tonight and he can go for all I care but that’s on the ref. Booked multiple players for absolutely nothing in the first half while they were kicking lumps out of us, going in from behind etc and we didn’t even get a foul. The Dibling one on the edge of the box is as obvious of a foul as you’ll see and he told him to get up. The 2 penalty scenarios are the icing on the cake of a fixed game of football. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 The third goal was entirely tactical. We know we don't mark the edge of the box. All our opponents do too. It is no surprise that they practice ways of taking advantage of it. We've seen it happen, and RM has persisted with it. We had the odd near thing through Archer early on second half. Leicester continued to push. A combination of their better fitness (noticeable as it went on), individual talent and physical power paid off. Our lack of tempo, game management and brittleness let them do it. I didn't think much of our bench before kick off today. Leicester brought on a game changer. Sadly. so did we, just in the opposite way. Taylor okay, TP a bit of a huffing lump with no support, and no idea why RM has turned to Sule now, having frozen him out. Will was anonymous at best, and offered no respite to the side. Such a disappointment even if we were letting it be an open game first half. We're not strong, fit or coached well enough to shore up a lead. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom57 Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 I'm by far not a master tactician, but surely anyone can see that by leaving Manning at lb basically on his own we're going to completely give Leicester complete freedom do what what they like offensively down the left. Taylor for sugawara was the obvious change if he had to come off injured. It's rare one change can completely ruin you like that one did. First half was nice though I guess... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpsaint Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 (edited) Ryan Fraser wouldn’t get near any other Premier League side, quite why we signed him because it’s nice to have “weeman” around the place is beyond me. As for Smallbone, he’s such a non entity in this league, got all the guile and presence in the middle of the pitch as a fucking traffic cone. The fact Russ bought these two onto the pitch is worth the sack alone. Edited October 19 by bpsaint 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, from 2-0, the way RM managed the team should be a straight red. That's up there with the worst of inept managing. So many substitution errors and that defending of the final corner, especially after Ipswich, was criminal. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BotleySaint Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Fraser was great for us last year. But exposed badly at this level.

Saint86 Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 What I can't even begin to fathom, is that we had a proper left back on the bench...

Inexcusable to do the same again as the Ipswich game. He should go but we know he won't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
