You also said yesterday he should change to 4-4-2. He’s come in with a plan and to try and change the mentality. Whether we have the players and whether it comes good we will see. But after one half of league football asking for 4-4-2 when I believe he has never played that before is not going to happen. We’ve gone for a fresh approach with a young manager. I suppose in your eyes we should have gone for mick McCarthy or warnock and just lumped it forward. Yesterday was crap I’ll give you that but I’ve had enough of those shit dinosaur managers that just defend and play percentage football. I’ve seen enough from the Bradford and Crewe games to see what he’s trying to do and am prepared to give it more that one bloody league game ffs Edited September 13, 2020 by superkev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're conceding too many goals because we're getting turned inside out too easily and because too many of our defensive line are in the opposition half when it happens. Crellin is fine.

It's a different formation, that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superkev Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 That’s what a lot of teams in this league do. He said he’s come in with a philosophy to change the mentality and play a passing, pressing game with wing backs etc. I presume he isn’t going to change that because we’ve lost a few games. Like I said I saw enough in the cup games to see some sort of plan, but admit yesterday was shit. The goalkeeper certainly doesn’t seem to be the problem for me. Admittedly if we are bottom of the league after ten games then maybe you could call him out, but it’s been one league game and the shit on Twitter to sarcevic does suggest an over reaction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To leave Twitter when the going gets tough is a bit cissy. I’d prefer him to ignore but know it’s there; use the negatives to spur on an improvement so that the ego stroking starts again.

I agree about the overreaction on Twitter though. There's a lot of bellends on that hashtag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Evatt has one of those in the pipeline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At times some of the posts are hideous, but looking at those gonzo put up, its hardly crime of the century. Maybe some were far worse i don't know. Twitter etc can all go to fuckery though for me.

Rizlar Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Nothing against Evatt is methods all I am asking for is to win games sick and tired of feeling down after another bloody loss . Yesterday was bad hopefully it's a blip but already I have my doubts seeing some of those players . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you mean here, you asked how I intend to change things so assumed you wanted my suggestion on how how I would improve it. Its just discussion/opinions, that's mine FWIW, but its upto to IE to do it his way and if there's enough improvement to win some games I'll happily say 3-5-2 etc is the right way to go for this squad.

He's not unique though, all managers will have an idea of how they want to play. If its not working do they stick with it until (if) it does or try something else. My biggest concerns on yesterday's performance wasn't the system- he can try any formation and it won't work- if players can't pass it quickly and accurately a matter of a few feet then we've got a problem. The players looked shot and devoid of confidence. We have to give it more than 1 league game though surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I was asking you how you were actually going to change things, because you said to me: 12 hours ago, Johnnyrotten said: If you think that's going to change just by hoping for the best, fine Which I obviously don't, because I don't believe in magical powers.

ErnestTurnip Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 If you take a deep breath and then a sip of your pint on this beautiful day then there's a potential 135pt record breaking season in front of us. It'll be reet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will obviously find out in time, but one thing other clubs have in their favour is they've been able to shape their squads over a few seasons.
