SnoopJohnnyJohn Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Needs to get Wilbraham off and ALF on. There's no movement up front. It's not lack of movement, but totally lack of pace. Wilb and Zack are both slow as molasses. The problem is double-edged though. If you're going to play someone like Wilbraham as a target man, you can't play long and through balls that he'll never catch, you have to play direct or to his feet. When the ball has gone to him, he has held it well and brought Ameobi and ZC into the attack, but most of the time he's (fruitlessly) chasing a through ball that he'll never get to. Play to the strengths of your players, and don't try to shoehorn players into a system that doesn't suit them. Do that and we'll be OK this season, but this game is being a prime example of how NOT to set up tactically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoopJohnnyJohn Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I'm hoping the ref starts takign a bit of a look at some of these challenges that the Sunderland lot are putting in. Leading with elbows in headers, leaving their foot in on challenges, and the ref doesn't look like he's going to call any of them. On the plus side, Wilbraham looks likes he might get their centre half sent off or at least booked soon... Some hangover from a late challenge in the first half.

mourinho Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Why the feck does Parkinson always do this when we take a lead. Sit on it. Despite the stats from when he does exactly that. Its like we give the opposition confidence instead of going for the throat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwfcfan5 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Why the feck does Parkinson always do this when we take a lead. Sit on it. Despite the stats from when he does exactly that. Its like we give the opposition confidence instead of going for the throat Because football isn’t as simple as press A to attack. Players naturally take a yard back when winning, teams who are losing push on, its as much in the mind as anything else. Also our problem is we lack outlets when we lead and it means we do struggle.

RUREADY2ROLL Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 It was a good double substitution Although Derek has been gash he was the only midfield player we could add and Wilb needed to be replaced with someone a bit more mobile Sounded like we were a bit lucky but them three points are vital Need Pratley and Vela back ASAP or we will slip back again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Lofthouse Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Utter toss for 96 minutes from both teams, happy days. Good game from karacan ran his bollocks off but should have finished the game off. With Villa, wolves and nob end at home to come, thanks for the points Sunderland.
