theessexfox Posted 16 March 2013 Share Posted 16 March 2013 The only time we looked good today was when Schlupp came on and troubled them with his pace and directness, have we been missing that for the last couple of months? Is there enough pace in the side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue will Posted 16 March 2013 Share Posted 16 March 2013 Dyer is quick, drink water is slow and they are both Div 1 players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theessexfox Posted 16 March 2013 Author Share Posted 16 March 2013 Dyer is quick, drink water is slow and they are both Div 1 players I kind of meant someone who uses their pace effectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shearfox Posted 16 March 2013 Share Posted 16 March 2013 Schlupp should be starting looks dangerous and I would be shocked if he doesn't play against Millwall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted 16 March 2013 Share Posted 16 March 2013 no there isn't not enough pace in terms of running or sharpness in passing to create the space either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thracian Posted 16 March 2013 Share Posted 16 March 2013 The only time we looked good today was when Schlupp came on and troubled them with his pace and directness, have we been missing that for the last couple of months? Is there enough pace in the side? Even Schlupp's not been inspired by Pearson - he'd been sidelined for weeks and not used at all. He's had his confidence lifted by having the best team in the land take notice. In fact it's almost as if he's been forced back into the City side either by united wanting him to be involved or by us realising what fools we've been. .

Guesty Posted 16 March 2013 Share Posted 16 March 2013 I agree, the only pace we really have down the right is DeLaet. If we had a winger it would help even if he was a squad player, for a plan b. Opposition teams can see all our attacking pace is left-sided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thracian Posted 16 March 2013 Share Posted 16 March 2013 We've got enough pace to beat Championship sides but there's insufficient support for pace when we play 4-3-3 anyway and especially with having slow central midfielders, one slow main striker and only one attack-capable full-back. And that's just the start of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trav Le Bleu Posted 16 March 2013 Share Posted 16 March 2013 There's been a lack of pace in City for years. Our only two fast players, Dyer and Schlupp, frequently get past players only yot find no on has kept up with them and their crosses are to no effect, making them look worse than they actually are.

Monsell1976 Posted 16 March 2013 Share Posted 16 March 2013 Don't think pace is all the problem, I think predictability is, we have good footballers at the club but teams know are style and are finding it very easy to stop us, the result is the long ball crap we keep serving up, which is all well and good if you have the players for this style, we don't have one forward or midfielder who is competitive in the air.

TrentFox Posted 17 March 2013 Share Posted 17 March 2013 I think it's more about the lack of pace with which we move the ball than the pace with which individual players move. I think it's also more to do with a lack of speed of thought than of body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
