We’re basically playing “smother-ball” today. Just packing midfield, sitting very deep and pressing in small, contained areas once they’re in our half.

But we have so little going forward.

Don’t mind this away from home. But it has to work. If the end result is we lose 1-0 then it’s just as bad as anything else we’ve tried. Because we’re forgoing most attacking movement.

I cannot beleive I just saw West Ham midfielder make a run behind a defender to recieve a through ball!!!

Tell me I’m dreaming!!!


 

 

 

You were not. Had to be from a new player....

[BRANDED]

Paqueta

What is the point of JWP?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eye candy for Potter

Lovely from FERNANDES. 

Our best player. 

 

[nychammer]

we've looked ok defensively and probably just had the best chance of the half (Paqueta) after Fernandez got in behind. Better overall but we still look woeful going foward.

Think Fullkrug will be off at half time again here. Not holding us up the field well enough 

 

I would point fingers at the midfielders before Fullkrug, we can't lift the play.
They are wrapping up Bowen, cause they know that's the one real threat 

He hasn't controlled a single ball. That’s not on anyone else

Fernandes looks decent though

His movement is genuinely terrible, too. Playing like a carthorse again.

Wilson would be a more mobile target for us playing this way, running off people’s shoulders.

That’s how bad things are upfront for us!

[Mr Anon]

got to give credit to forest here, we've done well to soak it up, hopefully we'll see Fernandes moved central and Summerville on second half 

[Keep dreaming]

Why is Fernandes playing out on the left?

we’re so poor in possession.

Because we haven't got a winger

[camel-with-3-humps]

Fullkrug has been shit. A weak man.

Has Fullkrug completed a single pass yet?

[Tomshardware]

Paqueta a liability so far.

[Mad Ferret]

 Not sure that was a foul on Paq.

[southbankbornnbred]

Genuinely, it’ll be because he isn’t yet bogged down by Potter’s over-coaching and negativity. He hasn’t had time. So he’s playing his natural game.

[ragingbull]

Decisions going our way for a change.

Why is Fernandes playing out on the left?

we’re so poor in possession.

 

 

He's not really playing wide left. More like left of centre and instructed to help out there.

[southbankbornnbred]

Fernandes has been the best player on the pitch in his first 30 minutes, in all fairness to him.

[stubbo-admin]

Fernandes looking bright, but we're struggling to switch it long and wide to get out.

Need to get it to Bowen.  Fullkrug too needs to offer more.
