Mounts Kipper Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) First win. Optimism crushed by 2 defeats following this Hopefully we get the win at home Saturday and might give us a boost going into the next few games, Bristol game is complete write off already they are in great form at home and i fear a 3/4/5 battering, it's not that game we need to be picking up points at but Saturdays game definitely is.

Mounts Kipper Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Bwfc 0 Brentford 0 Surely we have by law of averages have to score. What is it now over 7 hours without a goal? Quote
Big E Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Massive game for this one. neither team wanting to give anything away. Drab 0-0, poor performance and no change to a system that clearly isn't working.....but it will be ok because people over 40 have seen much much worse Quote
Casino Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 We've tried at least 3 systems so far None have worked Quote
Big E Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 hit and hope to one man is not gonna work. Quote
radcliffe white Posted September 20, 2017 Author Posted September 20, 2017 hit and hope to one man is not gonna work.correct play madine with a guy who sits on the bench who believe it or not is a goalscorer Quote
tomski Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 We have to try something different as what we are currently doing isn't working Quote
Casino Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Fantastic Where are we getting the body from Cos 3 at the back ain't enough nor is 4 in midfield with what we have available Fortunately it ain't my problem Quote
Casino Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 We have to try something different as what we are currently doing isn't working Get away Quote
Casino Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 I'm not sure there's anything we can try that hasn't been tried Admittedly I've missed a few but we have played with 3 at the back 4 at the back and 5 at the back We've had 3 4 and 5 in midfield We've had one up front and two up front Quote
radcliffe white Posted September 20, 2017 Author Posted September 20, 2017 I'm with you I'm just going off past performances Sheffield was better with 2 up Quote
Casino Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 I heard as much Possibly our easiest home game so far? On paper obvs Quote
radcliffe white Posted September 20, 2017 Author Posted September 20, 2017 I understand to an extent against Leeds/Derby and boro Brentford is a must 2 upfront for me it's going to get where even a point will be no good Quote
Kane57 Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Our best performance was Sheffield Wednesday when we went on the front foot. Maybe worth a try eh Quote
tomski Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) Get awaySo you agree with the statement you are calling me out on? The players need to step up. We are giving basic goals away, that can and should be stopped. We create nothing going forward though. Back to 442 with wingers who play on the wing and someone to support washing machine up top.

Casino Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 I'm agreeing nothing has worked Where we disagree is that I feel the solution probably doesn't lie in changing formation Quote
captainmed Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) PP, me and most on here are judged on results. Results and perhaps more importantly performances are a million miles away from acceptable and he's got to take responsibility for that. Were getting well beaten, not just beaten. Burton lose 5 at Leeds then draw at Norwich and beat Fulham. We couldn't bounce back like that and people were saying Burton are nailed on for relegation. I know we aren't good enough but for gods sake we've got to give it a better go than this. Excuses, excuses and more excuses, game after game. I also worry that he's watching a different game to the rest of us, defending the players too much. FWIW i don't think changing Manager will help but once he loses the fans (and he will if he doesn't keep mentioning us calling Pratley) his days are up. Fail to win any of the next 3 games and i think he will go anyway. We've fought so hard to get here, it will be a shame if we go down with a whimper. Edited September 20, 2017 by captainmed Quote
Guest Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 I'm not sure there's anything we can try that hasn't been tried Admittedly I've missed a few but we have played with 3 at the back 4 at the back and 5 at the back We've had 3 4 and 5 in midfield We've had one up front and two up front We could try playing football? Anyway, a win, 2-1 Quote
Casino Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 it looks to me whenever we try to 'play football' we give the fcuking thing away in stupid positions and concede Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 That is the problem in a nutshell for me. Our passing and movement is wank. Irrespective of whether passes are long or short, it amazes me how frequently passes to team mates go astray and put us in trouble. At times players seem scared to death of making a run forward. Surely they practice kicking it to each other? Quote
darrener Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Try le fondre and armstrong up front Quote
Kane57 Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 As good as he's been, we haven't tried playing without Madine and actually trying a bit of football. When you've run out of ideas... Quote
