Welcome Positive Nigel
Sorry, I am sure most people have covered this all, however I will list our woes at the moment.
1. Where is the closing down that Carsley promised us? If you watched our game yesterday you will see that when their keeper had the ball all bar Taylor were in our half. When George had the ball, they had 3 players round the area. We were unable to play out of our own half yet they could do what they liked. I think out of the players still at the club from last year the negative tactics either still remain or are still getting taught. Push higher up and make them have to hoof it long or make mistakes. We are far too negative for a team playing at home. Brandy needs to stay up at all times (including corners). what fucking use is he in our box at his size?
2. I think it's pretty obvious that DW doesn't fancy Hill or Higginbotham so we need to find them a new club, we will probably have to subsidise some of their wage, however with the rest we need to find someone who knows what to do with 40 yards of space in front of him. We can sit here and moan about Collins and Maguire passing across the back 4 all day, however when your full backs are not further forward than they are there is nowhere to go. In the 2 home games so far all I have seen our left backs do is run backwards. McGinty might turn into a good player and he is certainly a big lad however left back?
3. The play of McFadzean/Murphy/Brandy will improve with attacking fullbacks taking up space and pulling players out of position. We attack with 4 players only at all times. If anyone of you watches American Football it's abit like constantly attacking with a 4 man front. Once the QB has put in the right alignments he's going to sit there all day eating sandwiches.
4. If we are to play 1 up with Taylor then we need to give him balls to run on to. I don't think holding the ball up is his bag.
5. Fans in the South Stand. I am getting sick and tired of you picking on the youngsters and booing them instead of seasoned professionals who should know better. Long, Magure and Cody get more grief than anyone else. You're just ******* cowards. McMahon and Brandy the 2nd half had the chance to get a ball in. They didn't, however cody came up and helped out and gave them the only option they had left. They finally gave it to Cody who was closed down who had to go back. He gets booed. What the fuck. Maguire tried a long ball, Rubbish, your crap fuck off. Long comes out of his area and miskicks. The same result, yet Collins makes 2 schoolboy errors, one in each half and nothing is said.
This really is a work in progress and I know from the changes he makes that DW sees the same as we all do and is probably more frustrated than even we are. We need to give this time to work and let DW and his team work this out. We are probably a couple of players light of being a play off team right now, however if we stick with them I am sure we will see better results sooner rather than later.
I am not even going to get into McMahon leaving his man to go and take a short corner leaving them with 3 against 2 for their goal. I am sure that won't be happening again will it DW?
It's going to be a long season, I just hope you all can see the vision of what we are trying to achieve.
