Plan B

[Eric Cartman]

We need one, similar to what we needed in January in league one. Simply cannot be not beating shit like that because they’ve put 11 behind the ball for 90 minutes. We penned them in for about 85 of the 90 minutes and couldn’t score.

I don’t know what our plan b should be but it needs to be some SERIOUS height (not James Hanson) or some SERIOUS pace. Something a bit different to our current crop, the type who can make a real impact off the bench because that’s where we’re lacking at the moment in these types of games.

It’s their first clean sheet of the season for fucks sake. I’m gutted, I assume most of us are. Everyone was a 7/10, not a single 8 or above.

Such a shame. Scruffs are going off like they’ve won the league again. Cunts.

 

[Jehovah]

I'm not sure a plan b is necessary when we absolutely dominated and missed a penalty.

 

[Oldun]

I'm not sure a plan b is necessary when we absolutely dominated and missed a penalty.

And drew 0-0 against a very poor side?

 

[Nade]

Nuhiu might be worth a punt.

Not even joking, i rate him and reckon Wilder could do a job with him.

Triple crown, Wimbledon and the Grand National.

Also, ground staff to disinfect BL lower tier. Thanks.

Big awkward idiot, it’s the type we need.

 

[Eric Cartman]

We absolutely dominated and didn’t win. That’s my whole point.

 

[Topplayersleave]

We need a midfielder who can get beyond the forwards occasionally, a strong powerful forward thinking midfielder who wants to get in behind.
It would give Fleck, Norwood and Coutts an ideal opportunity to pick out through balls instead of constantly having to go wide to Freeman or Stevens

An attacking midfielder and an extra striker and we're well on our way to creating real problems for everybody in this League

 

[LJBlade]

Big awkward idiot, it’s the type we need.

Big and awkward is exactly what James Hanson is/was

 

[HD8 Blades]

We had a plan A, B and C to be fair.....

A)Through them
B) Round them
D) Over them.

If the ball had dropped kindly for us just once or we'd scored that penalty it would have been a comfortable win. Just the way it goes sometimes when teams come and park the bus

 

[Eric Cartman]

Big and awkward is exactly what James Hanson is/was

But he was absolutely hopeless. At least Nuhiu is only half hopeless.

 

[bromtom]

We do need a plan B but we need to remember plan A.

Things that work:

Through balls
Byline low crosses to 6 yards out
Back post early crosses
Driven in crosses from free kicks
Cutting in from the edge of the box to shoot
Strikers in the box

Things that rarely work:

Quick free kicks
Short corners
Faffing about on the wing
Slowing down play by doing stepovers unnecessarily
Having wing backs in the box where the strikers should be

We always seem to abandon ideas, they come back a couple of games later, but just stick to what works until it doesn't.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Nuhiu might be worth a punt.

Not even joking, i rate him and reckon Wilder could do a job with him.

Would rather give John Parkin a contract

 

[riselikeasalmon]

You don't get much better than our plan A at our level, I think that showed when Leon came much as I love the man

 

[LJBlade]

But he was absolutely hopeless. At least Nuhiu is only half hopeless.

Would it not be better to aim for someone better rather than get someone who couldn’t even get in the team that Wednesday put out tonight?

If we signed Nuhiu it would be about 5 mins before many are saying we should have signed someone better

 

[Jehovah]

We absolutely dominated and didn’t win. That’s my whole point.

Yes I know. My point is that we absolutely dominated. Why would you change that strategy? 8/10 times we win that game.

 

[Laney Blade]

And drew 0-0 against a very poor side?

I noticed they couldn't cope with Leon when he came on having to giving away free kick as yanking him about. So his height & strength did rattle them.

 

[Jehovah]

And drew 0-0 against a very poor side?

Yes I'm frustrated too. They were shit. But what would you have us do? We totally dominated, missed a penalty and were far better. I don't know what other plan we could have other than win.

 

[Eric Cartman]

Indeed, but those players cost money that we might not be willing to spend on a plan b type player

 

[Eric Cartman]

Score?

 

[Jehovah]

Score?

Well yes. Score the penalty maybe? Should we have instructed him to score and not have it saved?

 

[Eric Cartman]

Well yes. Score the penalty maybe? Should we have instructed him to score and not have it saved?

Penalties are missed in games. Quite often actually. We shouldn’t be needing penalties to beat them.

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

We miss Brooks. He was a plan B - could change a game.

We need to address this in January and try to get someone who has the quality to win tight games.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I'm not sure a plan b is necessary when we absolutely dominated and missed a penalty.

That is exactly why we need a plan B.

 

[Oldun]

I noticed they couldn't cope with Leon when he came on having to giving away free kick as yanking him about. So his height & strength did rattle them.

And yet we still drew 0-0

We need a plan E

We need a Michael Brown player .....what a fantastic double figures goals a season midfielder he was for us. Now scoring goals & even assists expectations seem to fall on our forwards backs every game. Which is our problem. Only big money spent on attack mids who score loads of goals is the plan B. But maybe we can't afford them right now.

 

[Ricky]

Kieffer Moore?

Usain Bolt?



Marvin Johnson?

True David is only taking them because Billy missed a pen.
