BURNLEY ON OUR TURF

[CroJack]

I also find it amusing that our players don't understand that if you are alone and surrounded by six opponents on one side of the pitch, they must be in a deficit on the other side. A quick switch of play would give you an overload and an opportunity to strike at the opposite side of the pitch.

Key off, Ronald to RB, Ginnelly at RW, cans of monster all round

I think this comes from coaching patterns again. They seem to be on autopilot, following some script instead of reacting to unfolding events. They should be "taking what the defense gives", instead of running a pre-programmed sequence regardless of whether it is working.

This is what happens when you have Messiah-complex managers like Martin and Williams. Individual thought is banished in favour of "the philosophy", and those who ever dared show a little independent spirit (Whittaker) were shown the door. I'd rather players who could think on their feet, because football is too fluid a game to have contingency for everything

Blackburn should score more goals:

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Offside twice on that attack. Linesman flagged nothing

 

[The Blobster]

Franco off fulton on , eom off Cooper on .
Early subs for a change.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Would have played Allen not Fulton

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Need g-man on for Ronald and Bianchini on for no-zip

 

[ivoralljack]

Vip just not doing it. I'd try something new; Ginnely through the middle for instance. His pace with a little bit of trickery might cause some problems. Culls can pick up the pieces unless Sheehan has another brain fart and subs him.

We so often get beaten to the ball by waiting for it whilst the oppo are being proactive in going to meet it. BE FIRST is one of the basics of football. Wonder if any of our coaches have ever heard of that?

 

[The Blobster]

Free header for Ronald and he puts it wide .

 

[The Blobster]

Sam Parker and Joe Allen coming on

 

[The Blobster]

O'Brien and Ronald pulled

 

[Yankee_Jack]

We are fucking losing. No G and no B.

 

[CroJack]

Sheehan obviously surrendered. Which is a shame. I've seen teams score three goals in added time.

 

[ivoralljack]

That miss by Ronald was a fucking disgrace!! Even I scored those for fun and that header was appalling at ANY level. Great run and cross by Tymon - he must be wondering why he bothered.

 

[The Blobster]

Naughts off and tubby Christie on
So no G & B today

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Again … we are fucking losing … what's the point

Sheehan proving yet again that his decision making leaves a lot to be desired. House brick comes to mind.
