By the time it gets to them they are doubled up on. We have fast attacking wingers that have no space to run with the ball as we take too long to get it to them, when they do get it they usually have their backs to goal standing still. We miss Doyle mixing it up by pinging balls into space rather than Vestagard blasting it into a crowded midfield every attack. Agreed. It does take too long to get the ball to them. It is most definitely not a lack of ability. Fatawu goal v Bournemouth, mavididi goal v Chelsea. They were against premier league teams. And let's get it about right.....there aren't too many top notch full backs in the championship.....as we used to say to Tommy wright (the original and best 😂)......skin him. It's beyond me why they don't. They could take the p*SS out of most full backs in this division. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nod.E Posted 30 March Share Posted 30 March 17 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: This is not a deliberate ploy, we've lost the plot and can no longer control possession. We give the ball away incessantly. That's part of it. I think the pressing and long balls are a tweak to compensate. But most of our fans think this is our chickens coming home to roost. I.e. we're doing the same thing and we've been 'sussed'. No, we're not doing what we were with anything like the same ability and compounding that with rash tweaks. Yet you read on here there's no flexibility to the tactics or willingness to try anything different. Truth is we'd be better off if that were the case! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post brownboy93 Posted 30 March Popular Post Share Posted 30 March Random thought, seeing as we have limited options in CM and loads out of form & what seems an infinite amount of cb's. It'd be interesting to see wout played as a high 8 in wilfs role. He's got the attributes tbf to him in box crashing/ball Carrying etc then we could have the obvs better choice of our defense behind 2 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bezzanator89 Posted 31 March Share Posted 31 March My first game back in my season ticket hotseat for two months, and I'm wondering what's the point with our current standard of football at the moment. I'd much rather like to stay at home and eat chocolate egg, but I suppose I can still have my egg in the stands whilst suffering in the stands. Probably 1-0 to Norwich, given our blunt attacking prowess and tactical ineffectiveness and inflexibility lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox_favourite Posted 31 March Share Posted 31 March (edited) 1-0 down at half time. Struggle to break them down. Caught on the counter 2-0. They sit deep for the last 30 minutes. We have all the ball but can't get past, and it's frustrating. Chances missed, wingers nullified and Vardy not getting the service and misses chances. 85 minute a corner comes in and a deflected goal. 2-1. 4 minutes of injury time and nothing. Yes, I'm a time traveller, but forgot to buy a lottery ticket or check the numbers before I left. Edited 31 March by fox_favourite 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly fleet of foot, he's currently struggling to read the game as a centre half let alone in a faster paced midfield, he's missing runners and getting rolled already, God only knows what would happen further up. His concentration levels were usually pretty poor later on in games anyway but were apparent even in the first half against Bristol! I sometimes think he appears a bit arrogant as if the Championship is a bit beneath him. He certainly, just imo, needs dropping for a while in favour of Coady, Nelson or even Souttar. He's a liability at the moment at centre half let alone left to wander round in midfield! Edited 31 March by volpeazzurro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put everything that’s happened behind us. Dwelling on it achieves nothing. We are in a race for the title and still in a great position. Take it game by game and start being positive.

Lad1966 Posted 31 March Share Posted 31 March Everything you read about LCFC is gloom and doom, whether it the financial situation, men/women teams and our board. We need the players to lead the way for the fans, we need the fans to get behind the team, which them the courage to take the attacking options. It’s not all down to Enzo, although he’s got a lot to answer for, but since when the 1st news broke re our finances broke, we seem to gone into our shell, almost if it’s saying heavy on the players. It’s a horrible situation we find ourselves and I don’t know the answer, not sure sacking Enzo is the answer right now, that’s for discussion once the season over, which ever the league we are in.I don’t think this would benefit the team, the upheaval would be huge, with all the issues we have going atm. As a fan base, we don’t seem to get behind the team when we are down, total opposite to Forest/Everton, their fans seem to rally the players during match and even lift them. our players need this, no matter we think of the players/tactics or the manager. I hope we get a positive result tomorrow and a bit of luck( we not had any for a good few matches)🤞 and start showing that we deserve to be promoted in one of the automatic places.

Claridge Posted 31 March Share Posted 31 March We have not recovered from Enzos idiotic nonsense comments before the Leeds game. Bet he has 2 pictures of himself in his house and lick’s himself to sleep, purring about his boring football and how it’s not his fault, that people can’t see that passing it for the sake of it is crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something in the team got broken in that second half. Edited 31 March by ClaphamFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
