Turning it around

[frogmiller]

It's the kind of pass TOP TEAMS don't make....they want to own the ball that much that they'll go round Barnsley to get to Sheffield.

Keeping the ball and progressively use it is the wish of any manager including ours - but good teams have two modes WITH & WITHOUT the ball - and higher up we get the better the opposition is at both.

We're getting there - we are improving -we are putting a shift in - time will tell ultimately if we are good enough but we could do with the referees getting blatant handballs and penalties right for us. We havn't been overly blessed with luck yet.

They have cost us points this season.

We'll need some luck today....UTM
Norwhich next - deep joy.....but it's better than playing FLEETWOOD !

Answer me these simple questions Ipj
If a player in your team was unable to see a pass to any of his team mates and was closed down by the oposition what would you like him to do with the ball?
If your defender was being closed down and had to clear his lines by hitting it somewhere safe on the pitch where would you want him to kick the ball?

Well!

Ibj? What say you?

We played well today ino..abit of fight atlast, hopefully its the start of an upturn in form..don't forget we played well 2nd half v Hudds apparently.
Ball was brilliant as was Fisher..Ward m.o.m????

That's pointed frog - but why the hell do you think a player in my team wouldn't have at least two options to pass to his team mates who have moved into space.

Potentially a central defender dropping deep and / or goalkeeper ( but NOT Joe Hart....lol )

Another option of ALL those in midfield who should be seeking space IF WE HAD THE BALL....

The third option would obviously be a forward running thoughtfully across the line of defence waiting to curve his run once the ball was passed over their defence - with enough height and back spin not to reach the goalkeeper...

Then if he is the last man and feeling even tetchy about loosing the ball in front of goal.....THE RIVER DON.....

But that would depend on score - time on clock and wind direction....lol
