Doncaster (H) 2-1W - Post-Match Thread

[BigGibbo]

Guy's a terrorist. Waits for the day I finally see the team sheet and check out to apparently alter his philosophy, but I only caught the last 20 minutes so am none the wiser as to whether it was in spite of him or what? 

 

One thing is clear. Possession is for ponces.

 

And getting back to Leicester's pre-2016 DNA would see us steamroller this league. 

[oundlefox]

Can somebody tell O’Hora it helps as a defender to be facing the right way when the opposition attack. What was he doing for the goal?

[lcfcfoz]

Yesssssss

[LcFc_Smiv]

Thought we were really good in places, just concerning how bad we are at putting the ball in the net and keeping it out of our own. What will continue to cost us, as it has for many years, too many mistakes and players switching off or just not doing the basics.

[Monk]

And breathe….

[MaidstoneFox]

Not what we've seen in previous games, as well as the formation, there was much less slow tippy-tappy at the back and we cleared long much more frequently, therefore ceding possession. Who was responsible for this? The other coaches, the players?

 

I thought the formation allowed Souttar to commit to headed clearances more often, knowing he always had cover behind him.

[st albans fox]

Will the journo ask him about the change in approach and if it’s just temporary whilst the players get some confidence with some positive results ??

[MPH]

Up to the dizzy heights of 14th!!

Yup.

[Buzzell]

Doncaster are terrible.

[Zear0]

Actually played like a League 1 team. Much more solid at the back too with that setup. Lundstram was class and for the first time ever Okoli was too.

 

Thomas still absolutely honking though. Zero confidence.

[WigstonWanderer]

Made rather hard work of it towards the end, but definitely seemed like an attempt to play a more positive style with less time spent waiting for opposing defenders to get into position. I hope this is a real change, but time will tell.

On the plus side, three points with 2 games in hand. Far from convincing but it’s a step in the right direction.

Tip my hat off to Okoli today because he was solid. Lundstrum was also good but his ****ery led to the goal. Just need to keep it simple instead of pissing about with the ball.

[Vowels]

Will Alves. Too good for us.

[GrobyLCFC31]

If that was a new manager we’d be rightly saying a good change of system, effective football and a much needed three points! 
 

Okoli and Doyle particular standouts, onto Tuesday 

[Lambert09]

I think if we were confident we would have destroyed them. So I think we need to take the baby steps here. A clean sheet would have done everyone the world of good but we at least have something to build from. 
 

we need to just get that winning mentality back. there were some positives though: 

 

souttar actually looked bothered 

 

Doyle, out of nowhere has shown he’s the best loan… when we literally just bought him in for emergency cover 

 

Alves, page and Sammy all playing very well. 
 

Lundstrom looks vocal and a real leader.

 

All 3 cbs far more comfortable with 3 at the back. 
 

Lastly, I actually think Martin had us more free to knock it forward or cross the ball. I’ll give him credit as I think he actually attempted to adapt our play a little

I really hate these people. 

 

Causation =/= correlation. 

 

I get not wanting dour football where you control 100% possession and do nothing with it but misusing stats you don't really understand to try and make some glib point? Fastest way to make yourself look like a moron.

Yeah, but it's Martin so ...

Agreed but you can want him gone ( I do) and also give him credit for the tweaks

We don’t look like a side that’ll be surging up the table to me 

But more confident that we might stay up though

I dunno, Okoli and O'Hora still kinda woeful at times to me, 
another O'Hora ricket for the 5th time in 5 games

A win again on Tuesday and Saturday would bring us right back into the chase for the title and gorw our confidence.

 

Which is a big thing with so many young players in the team.
