JRS dropped

[Slim Man]

Call it what you want, he was dropped because we wanted to play a back 5 as we feared Leeds.

Pathetic.

The lad has finally arrived and just come off a brace, played excellent, gets dropped for the next game as we were scared of the opposition.

Do you think Leeds will come to Bramall Lane and not play Gnonto?

If I was him I’d be fucking furious

This one is on Chris.

They couldn’t believe their luck

I haven’t got the energy to read

 

[BladeInIreland]

Tbh I could see the logic in not playing JRS, defensively not great and you wouldn't want to give too much freedom to their wing backs.

However,
1. Not playing Brooks instead left us with nothing
2. We gave them so much space and time out wide we may as well have played JRS.

 

[Tezza1889]

Best form of defence is attack..

we've let them attack for 90 minutes because we have no plan up front for our "centre half" sorry centre forward..

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

Imagine spending hours reviewing game tape and not thinking Rak Saki V Bogle is the way to go.....

 

[South Sea Blade]

Imagine spending hours reviewing game tape and not thinking Rak Saki V Bogle is the way to go.....

Imagine spending hours watching football and not realising that Rak Saki plays on the opposite side to where Bogle would be playing.....

Absolutely bang on.

This, we all know how poor Bogle is defensively. Give him space to attack down the flanks and he’ll cause problems but put him under pressure defensively and he’ll crumble

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Norrington-Davis shouldn’t have been in the starting 11 & JRS should have been.

Hopefully, the last we will see of the ‘back 5’

 

[haich1889]

I can't remember the last player to score 2 for us except o.g. v Luton last season.
That ought to teach JRS a lesson. Don't go scoring 2 when the aim is a 1 - 0 win. How are Soutter & Anel going to break the record for pass completions??

 

[Guesty]

Rak-Sakyi is also much better defensively than he's given credit for, if we're set on using that as an excuse.

 

[Keen Blade]

I don't care how good the opposition , you have to give their defence something to fear.
Our best two at doing this are JRS & Brooks.
So we have played one of them all season , but not tonight - why not.
Without either of them we have no player who can carry the ball or beat a man.
O'Hare & Hamer do not have those attributes.

 

[ATL Recs]

Norrington-Davis shouldn’t have been in the starting 11 & JRS should have been.

Why change a defence thats not concede for 6 weeks crazy
why drop a player who scored two and was at times unstoppable in the last game and has become a threat the more he’s played
wilder chucked that

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

Imagine spending hours watching football and not realising that Rak Saki plays on the opposite side to where Bogle would be playing.....

Yeah, because playing a left footed winger on the left wing is so out of his comfort zone he'd never know what to do...

Jees.....

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Dropping Sakyi is one thing, but can someone explain to me how Campbell has suddenly jumped Brewster in the pecking order?

Right after Brewster actually looked good, and after Campbell produced a sluggish nothing v Swansea?

100% agree . We had no ball carrier/ threat to keep Weeds in their own half . The lad deserved a chance . Got it wrong Chris

 

[ancientblade]

yes im afraid this defeat is on chris went for a point but all it did was hand leeds the initiative leeds are a good team but are vulnerable at the back we paid them far too much respect

 

[Slim Man]

Doesn’t matter what formation we played according to Chris because our touch was bad

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Sticking Campbell on really exemplified Wilder’s muddled thinking last night.

He lined up close to Moore in a crude looking 2, and all the signs said we were going to just go long. Which would have been a bit shit, but understandable in the circumstances. Welcome, even, given that we’d shown zero positive intent in any other way at that point.

It then took us about 20 minutes to hoof a proper long ball anywhere close to the pair of them.

 

[Bell4]

Then he's talking crap - he got it so wrong - if i`m a Leeds fan / player / manager / i`m thinking WTF ...Gives them a motivational start .

Bemused by Chris ...he didn't just get it bad - he got it so bad, and it reverberated through the team .

Unbelievable incompetence

There is no pecking order. Neither of them are a goal threat. You can put them in a bag and pull one out and get the same thing, which from a forward perspective is nothing.

We know how poor Brewster is, and Campbell looks weak and unfit.

I accept Brewster has done well in a withdrawn role in the last 2 games but that’s different.

 

[Ginger Gnome]

JRS could still have played with the back five, he'd have been much better than O'Hare at trying to run off the shoulder of the last defender as he actually has pace.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

The game last nite was like being transported back to the Prem.......manager fearing the outcome of the game so reverts to total defensive game plan which results in a customary defeat.

The score actually flattered us could easily have been 4 had Aaronson (sp) had had his shooting boots on near the end of the first half.

We could have played on until midnite and would still not have scored.

Wilder.......Nil Poi.

I am expecting the same shit show at Boro too.

o'hare is the weak link runs about a lot but his first touch is awful hes a much better player than hes showing us wrong position for me

 

[UddersBlade]

We have to be careful here, he needs to be starting games now. His form is good & he scored in the last match. If we are not careful - Palace may recall him in January & either sell him or loan him out to another club……..maybe Leeds!!!!

I think the thought behind it was that Moore had been winning a lot of knock downs in the first half but didn't have anybody close enough to him to convert it into ball retainment.
Therefore, chuck Campbell on for the second balls.

It didn't work though.
Campbell doesn't seem to be the answer to any of our problems at the moment.
Given he's more of a wide forward, he should be behind Brewster, JRS and Brooks in any scenario from what he's shown.

Hold on, you say defensively JRS is not great and it would give too much freedom to their wide defensive players, one of which is (checks notes) Jayden Bogle, who 90% of the forum say can't defend either? Playing two wide players who can't defend ought to cancel out in terms of being scared of things going wrong

I don't think Bogle and Gnotto cancel out with Shackleton and JRS.
