PaulC Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Not sure, the way Huddersfield pressed Norwich was totally different to the way we played. We have a bigger squad than Huddersfield so why cant we play with that intensity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see the game, so I can't comment on Huddersfield. but we didn't press Norwich with any kind of acceptability. its nothing to do with the size of the squad its about having enough individuals who are intent in competing Edited December 16, 2016 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think partly because even after Bruce has come in and improved our organization we still have a defense, a midfield (well not really) and an attack who are all isolated entities with little or no cohesion. There's been games when our attackers have done a good job pressing, but the distance between our attackers and our almost non existing midfield makes it almost pointless because it's too easy for our opponents to find an simple pass to a teammate.

BigAl Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I suppose the worrying aspects of our push for promotion is that we have yet to beat any team other than Reading who will be involved in the promotion battle ,now we have played the majority of these teams away as well but it's still worrying there is much more in this side we need more goals which is our biggest issue ,our forwards haven't clicked and we have little creativity in the midfield sort this in Jan and we will go from strength to strength our next 10 games are crucial .

I think it was Wolves game when McCormack tried press their defenders and he turned around and nobody was up for it. Huddersfield team are full of willing runners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanfromluton Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I suspect there will be a team full of intent on Sunday, Bruce has cajoled them but not no more and tbh I think he should have said those things after the Leeds game. I think we have good players for this division, but they all need to show it now. If anyone wants to go in January, leave them out and lets have a spirit in the team. I am surprised by the continual exclusion of Tishibola, he seems to be an ideal foil for Jedinak and I hope he gets a chance on Sunday. Bacuna was doing well in midfield, but I would put him right back for the next few games. Ayew doesn't seem to want to be here, he has got talent but leave him out. I want players who are committed to the club. I hope Baker is back for Sunday as his partnership with Chester looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 QPR on a losing streak too, perfect timing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 The play off bus is leaving the station now. We really need to start racking up 3-pointers again if we are not to be left behind. If the current results stand and Leeds get a win we are 10 points behind 6th going into the QPR game. Ifs and buts of course, but... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One For The Road Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I wonder if anyone still thinks we can get automatic promotion... Or has reality finally set in that we are a work in progress and to think we will be anywhere near going up is just absurd. Having realistic expections is the only way to go and we are not even remotely in the race for promotion this season. I say this because there are far too many posts expecting way too much and I'd hate to see Bruce under pressure for not delivering a miracle. He will get us there, I'm pretty sure of that, but not this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Leeds winning great. That loss is gonna cost us dearly I think. Big turning point that and Norwich losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 9 points behind the play offs. Have to win tomorrow now. To be honest I'd say we have to win our next 3 to stand a chance. Leeds and Wednesday are playing very poorly and yet keep winning. Real momentum with them and Derby also looking very strong. Its probably gonna have to be next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its probably gonna have to be next year Plenty of time yet - we are not even halfway through and a good points haul over the festive period will see us back within touching distance - far too soon to write off our chances irrespective of what happens tomorrow . i see no reason why we can't take 10 points from the next 4 games .
