But in a must win game he chose Sinclair and Keiran **** Richardson as 2 3rds of our attacking unit. Grealish, gestede and Adama did nothing more than those two when they came on to be fair.

That's a fair point - of course there can be criticism for selecting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I can understand why he's going with the same midfield all the time and we are stuck for options in defence. If we struggle to defend and protect with Veretout, Gana, Sanchez and Westwood playing then swapping them for Grealish/Troare/Gil is going to end up with us getting hamemred. It's got to a stage where it's too late though, no point trying to gain confidence with performances and draws, play them all and if we end up 4-0 down after half an hour then whatever, we will lose anyway but we have a better chance of winning with them on the pitch. That's not how football always works though. Packing your team with defensive minded players and playing in a negative way will allow teams to come on to you more. It's about risk/reward I suppose. Sure, we might let in less goals with a defensive team, but we have more chance of scoring goals when we have more attack minded players on IMO. The latter will probably mean we lose more, but it's also our better chance of winning. Picking up the odd point to at this stage is not really much better than losing. But the odd win is.

PaulC Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Adama had a go. Grealish just came on too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adama got 3/4 crosses into the box, won a free kick and a couple of corners. The sort of things I'd expect attacking wide players to do. Also they're coming on for 30 mins or less in a game that we're behind in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post markavfc40 Posted December 28, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) I knew very little about Remi before he came in but was happy to give him a fair crack of the whip. I know he had limited experience and was a gamble but seemed an exciting appointment. We are now 8 games down the line and I am not sure what to say about him. The least you expect when a new manager arrives is a bit more passion in the players. Them willing to break their necks for the cause and the new man. You also expect him to improve on what his predecessor did otherwise what is the point in forking out the 4 mill+ in getting rid of Sherwood and his coaching staff. For me overall I have seen no improvement. We still defend poorly, we don't create much and we don't score many. In too many games there has also been a lack of fight. The biggest criticism I have of Garde though is that he has been too negative. We started today nine pints from safety against a poor Norwich side who we needed to drag closer to us yet we started the game with one of the most defensive line ups we have seen this season. It is baffling and suggests for the position we were in Garde was the wrong man as he is way too cautious. I said the other day perhaps if we were sitting mid table he'd have been ideal. Bottom line is that when Sherwood was sacked we had 4 points from 10 games and were 4 points from safety. Now after 19 games we have 8 points and are 11 points from safety. To say it is not what I had hoped for when Sherwood was sacked is an understatement. Edited December 28, 2015 by markavfc40 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YGabbana Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Adama was postitive every single time he got the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-k Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I'm waiting until after January to judge Remi. I'm optimistic he knows the squad is weak and not good enough and has just been trying to limit the damage until he gets players in ASAP next month. That, or he was promised money by Randy and won't be given it. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Adama was positive. Grealish barely had any time to make an impact. Gestede I'm not especially sold on as a whole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did Sinclair do other than get knocked off the ball and give it away on most occasions? Adama showed exactly why he's not starting. Rarely attempted a run off the ball, the few passes he made were poor, lost the ball several times by trying to do too much. Did he win a couple of corners? I think he might have won one. He delivered a couple of crosses but none of them were particularly good. Hutton was constantly shouting at him to make a run and he never did. All he does is come short. Look, I don't think he was terrible, and I don't particularly think Sinclair is very good. The point I'm trying to make is Garde isn't exactly blessed with a tonne of attacking options. I think his biggest fault today was trying to rotate to account for all the games we've got over this period. It didn't pay off at all. Today was awful. I hope we'll be back to a proper line up for the next game. Edited December 28, 2015 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Yes and we are so much better under Garde aren't we. This and Everton the two worst performances of the season imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Adama looked more threatening than Sinclair did. And a million times more threatening than Richardson. Is he a perfect attacking player? No. But there's more chance of us getting goals with positive players attacking the opposition. This negative approach from Garde has been defended and what has it achieved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't today, but overall we are. The fact that we're STILL not very good shows how **** awful we were under the joke of a former manager. Anyone who would prefer him to still be here needs their head checking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midian Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) Never be convinced by Remi and Im still not some selections he makes confuse me,should of stuck with team from Saturday not change defence etc dont think hes an improvement on Sherwood really but think he will be good manager in Championship.
