Teams that sit back

[Bruce Wayne]

We always seem to struggle when we domintae the ball and find it hard to find a way through. We have got most of our points this season by defending well and countering. Games like today we need that change of shape with a no.10. Against Norwich I would have Didzy no.10 behind McBurnie/Sharp or Moose. We have to do better and do something different against teams that sit back.

Pretty sure the commentator said today something like we've only won 2 of the 7 games we've had more than 50% possession in

 

[ChemEngBlade]

Yeah, we do seem to struggle against defending teams. Knew it was going to be tough when they named a back 5. Not sure who gets dropped to add Didzy in behind the strikers, Berge maybe?

I would go with that pal.

though that we should have made a double sub, Didsy and Moose for Berge and Sharp, Didsy playing behind the front two for the last 20 minutes

Drop McBurnie and have Moose and Mcgoldrick/ Sharpe. McBurnie would be good in the latter stages if we need to pump it up the pitch.
with the signing of Berg we need to be using the midfield to create attacking options on the floor.
Also Moose has stopped scoring since McBurnie has been given more game time.

The game was there to be won, those changes you said could well have won it for us. Potentially against teams that are happy to sit back, an advanced midfielder could help draw out defenders to make space in behind or create chances on the edge of the box.

I tend to agree, we need to go a bit more championship formation against the lesser teams who want to park the bus, especially in the first half of games, but I can understand why the management team have gone conservative in games in th efforts season back.

All season we have lacked quality in the final third. We will more than likely have to break our transfer record again to buy someone with the right attitude/work ethic and the xfactor up front

 

[Bladesman]

Need to be a bit more clinical in front of goal. We created the chances to win the game and a decent save from that McBurnie chance.

Dribble!

We need a fast winger who can dribble and get in behind them.

The multi touch football that we play (especially down our left) is brilliant, but by the time the ball is delivered into the danger zone there’s 10 of them to mop it up.

Speed (Mousset) and sheer dribbling skills (position vacant) is how you unlock teams like that.

 

[Rochdaleblade]

I was surprised Mousset didn't come on to be honest. Maybe having to sub enda put paid to this.
