What is the Plan B?

[GuangzhouBlade]

What on earth was the plan today?

Really felt for McBurnie just hopeful ball after hopeful ball lumped up to him with no support. If we are going to do that then can’t help but feel we missed a trick by not getting a Hanson or Madine type in January. It at least gives teams something to think about. At the minute if you mark N’Diaye out of the game you stop us.

Today was also yet another example of losing any semblance of balance in midfield when we take Norwood off.

At first we were over run in midfield so the solution to that was to being Sharp on? Why couldn’t Doyle and/or McAtee come on with Norwood still on?

We’ve not played good football since December and have just been getting by. Still think we should have enough but beginning to find some of Heckys tactical decisions and personnel choice very hard to agree with. Let’s try to win games and impose ourselves on the opposition. We now have a traditional back 5 not a flexible 3/5 and are easy to play against. Be brave Hecky!!

Moreover what's plan A?

 

[Stevo]

Plan B is get a new manager

 

[GuangzhouBlade]

Moreover what's plan A?

Give it to N’Diaye and hope… I think

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Change to 4-2-3-1 with Doyle and Norwood playing in front of the back four, with McAtee, Ndiaye and Bogle playing in support of McBurnie.

 

[Stevo]

Give it to N’Diaye and hope… I think

That's plan A-Z

Plan B was bring on a third striker when we’ve created nothing all game and hope that it changes things…

And when that doesn’t work, keep Berge and Bogle for the fight and take off Robinson with his only threat into the box

Moreover what's plan A?

Today that is what I thought

 

[Bladesman]

Moreover what's plan A?

I'd like to know as well.

Some will bristle at this. We’re a hoofball team, a slow one at that. We hide it well because Norwood has flashy technique and we call it a ‘ping’. Strip it all back - our attacking play is lump and hope to drop on a second ball or give it to Ndiaye.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Need to be far more willing to use 4-2-3-1 to actually get bodies up at the top of the pitch

The back 5 now offers little from an attacking point of view

Wes
Baldock Anel Egan Robinson
Norwood Doyle
Berge Ndiaye McAtee
McBurnie

That would produce better than what we're getting

 

[Seth Rollins]

Plan B is get a new manager

That should be Plan A.

 

[Caseh]

My mate asked me this morning what our style of play is, it was quite worrying that I couldn't give him an answer. We're kind of long ball, but we've only got one player that's capable of hitting it long with any semblance of accuracy. We then have Ndiaye trying to do the work of several players as our "tactics" have left him alone with no real support.

Not a bad shout actually, need to do something to freshen it up
Furious has to start - for sure away from home
3 big lads at the back - I like that
Can the team adapt to playing a back 4 - might be a stretch but surely the last few games suggest we can’t play any worse…..surely

Baldock has to start now and it's astonishing the manager can't see it

 

[Lane Ender]

Not his biggest fan but hes got to start Bogle lately is frankly shocking

 

[Blade56]

Ask Wilder

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Not his biggest fan but hes got to start Bogle lately is frankly shocking

Bogle, especially post injury, isn't the sort you just start every game regardless

Even a L1 level manager like ours should understand this

He needs managing smartly. It's quite expected that he's fizzled out in the way he has

 

[Rifleman ITK]

Moreover what's plan A?

Try and get in the play offs it seems

 

[paidsy]

We haven't had a plan B of note in years. Wilder sure as hell never had one. Slav wasn't around for long enough to come up with one.

I said the same today !

Manager is feckin blind

 

[Broomhall Blade]

I did tell you all when Heckingbottom the tactical genius was appointed he was the cheap option.

I've had this conversation several times this season, but after 40 odd games I still have no idea what our style of play is supposed to be or what our tactics are.

All I can think is that the idea is to give it to Norwood in the first two thirds of the pitch, then give it to NDiaye in the final third, then hope that something happens.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

I said the same today !

Glad it’s not just me!

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

Plan b is to repeat plan A in the hope it will be successful. He’s tactically retarded.
