AVTuco Posted April 19, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2019 I'm starting to think this is a normal Friday and the match starts at 19.45 after this morning drill is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 This is looking like one of those games which the fringe/younger players would be more motivated to have a go in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Been better side but nit good enough today. We just playing like we can't be asked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted April 19, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2019 We’ve been generally better in the second half, at least in terms of goals. Of the last 4 games, 7 of our 9 goals have come in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman22 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Need to up the pace. Seems like a training match at the moment. No doubt DS will be in their ear at HT. I wonder if we could go a little more direct. Get Davis on for one of the midfield 3 and start moving the ball forward a bit quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Dont worry that was clearly our bad half. Dean Smith always gets a reaction people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meregreen Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Turning up to a game expecting to win is a dangerous attitude. All wins have to be earned. Need a kick up the arse at half time. Adomah really isn’t good enough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. 68% possession, 8 shots, 2 on target, 8 corners.. Bolton have pretty much parked the bus and stifled Villa which has stopped us getting up to speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 We’re grinding them down, albeit more slowly than I would have hoped. Once we get the first goal, they’ll fall apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMcKenna Posted April 19, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2019 Hard to fathom out that half. We were dominant without really threatening. I hope Smith changes something for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted April 19, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2019 I'm not sure we've turned up expecting to win, they are just playing very compact and deep. You can't force it. Just need to keep calm and play our game which is exactly what we're doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I’d be tempted to throw Green on for Adoma too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skruff Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I think we'll switch gears at the start of second half. Bolton players will be tiring from constantly chasing the ball. Up the tempo for the first 20 minutes, bag a few goal or two. Force them to come out to attack then decimate them on the counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 19, 2019 Moderator Share Posted April 19, 2019 45 minutes of half arsed lazy nothing. We're comfortably better than Bolton although they've arguably had the better chances - lose this one and much of the brilliant work to get here is undone. We need to keep our confidence, our rhythm and momentum. It sounds odd, but this lot need a half time rocket in a game where they've been the better side. A switched on Villa would score three or four in that half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
