TreeVillan Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Bree makes me wonder if I could also con a career in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he did well over the last few friendlies. I think we have to bear in mind we’re up against premier league quality tonight. I still think he’ll be behind Hutton, Elmo and particularly De laet (who has been good) for the right back berth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eholm Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Only SB can turn a 3-5-2 where we can play 2 up top and only 1 semi holding midfielder into a defensive 3-5-2 where we have 2 x holding midfielders in our midfield 3 and our best box to box out on the right, in addition to only 1 striker. I cannot see how anyone thinks this manager will look to evolve us into a progressive, forward thinking team!! Jimmy isolated, very few options going forward and JG coming deep to pick all up. This all places a lot of pressure on the back three as the ball just does not stick. This is gonna be another season of poor game plan with the hope that JG can do some magic. Bruce cannot and will not change, so until we change him.....neither will we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Thought the players would have been "boosted" by the news of stability. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However; playing against this Anderson will hopefully make him learn fast; get smarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Distribution from our own half has been so **** poor, just fire it into someone's feet ffs. Move it, if they don't it then they will have to deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 missed most of that. Sounds like I had the best first half out of everyone then 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmirch Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Well that was pretttty poor. Steve’s just watched England at the World Cup and gone “Well, that’s that,” not realising that was the system that suited those players. Even the corners were a shit imitation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turvontour Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Its interesting how in friendlies the referee doesnt have to book players or send them off. Dont even bother with injury time at the end of halfs. Are they instructed to do that? Its still a football match, teams want to score goals and win presumably? Its like a football match but with unnoficial different rules. Find it odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul33 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Been punished for two sloppy passes but in big chunks of that half we played some decent stuff. Considering the multi-million pound opposition, I'm not too down about this one so far. Impressed with Doyle-Hayes again - moves the ball FORWARD very quickly ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Either nobody knows what the system is, or they can't be arsed to play it. We look Sunday league standard at best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
