The Way Forward.

[seanbeanstattoo]

1. Stop f u cking about side to side among the back 3 if 1 of them has a mile of space ahead,run into the f u c ker,draw a man then pass.
2. Stop f u cking about deep in the opponents half way out wide playing tikka takka between centre half,wing back and middy before playing it back into our own half or a ball infield to a marked player or crossing half an hour too late and not beating the first man.
3. Play simple pass and move 1-2's and feed the 2 strikers in on goal.
4. Get back to high press.
5. Stop trying to walk the ball in. Cross early and shoot on sight.


All the above are why 1. We smashed this league and 2. Why we aren't anymore.

1. We should try really, really hard to score at least one more goal than the opposition does.

That is all.

Teams have sussed us out Gents.
Part of the reason we started so well is that we were viewed as the Dog and Duck League one cloggers and we caught a lot of people out.
Now they’ve sussed us we need to be a bit smarter in the final third, part of that is do what we’re doing but faster. Move the Baal quicker and pull people about.
If we can do that we’ll start getting results again.

Agreed Jonny, the JTW seems to suggest that the issue is being addressed, as indicated too by the comments of CW post Match on Friday and before. Get that sharpness back into our game and we go again. Oh and the occasional pop at goal might not go amiss either....'Jus' Sayin like.....

I don't believe all this sussing us out bullsh@t.
To say teams can suss out another team suggests that any team can be sussed out by anybody.
Wolves aren't getting sussed out, they're just better than everybody else and nobody can do a thing about it let alone suss them out

We are an average Championship side, and that's what we all expected to be.
It's just that we put a few good results together for 8 or 10 weeks to make us look better than we actually are.
We're now finding our way back to the level that our talent actually suggests.

As hard as it is to admit, I'm beginning to think the same. And the sooner we all do, the better we will be for it. We started the season as plucky underdogs and exceeded expectations. As playoff contenders we're struggling to cope with the expectation. Let's tone it down a bit and see how we get on.

I actually agree about the average Championship side part and this is exactly why I say we’ve been sussed.
We caught teams cold early on but now they’ve worked us out and worked our system out and we don’t have the individual quality Wolves have got to simply outplay people week in week out which is why they haven’t been sussed.

We play better against teams that come at us. The next four games will either confirm that or prove that we are on a downward slide. Results at the Lane recently have been because the oppo. have shut up shop. We play a high intensity game and in recent weeks the players have been knackered with the volume of games. Thats why we needed the new recruits and probably needed more depth at the start of the season.

Agree we need to shoot more and move the ball quicker, its a standard paragraph in Deadbats reports these days.

We've played 10 league games since Coutts was injured and the midfield is not working at the same rate of intensity and speed of thought. I don't believe its entirely down to losing one man more we've got the wrong blend of players in there to continue to play in the same way. We either change the way we play or change the personnel. Bit of a conundrum for CW.

For me we have to give the new recruits a go straightaway. Wilson apart all the other three have been playing regularly and have been their previous clubs star performers. If Brooks comes back soon then that will be 5 new faces to pick from in key areas.

As always this league shows that any 1 of 11/12 teams find themselves fighting for a playoff spot/promotion. Wolves are gone but the rest is up for grabs still. Saturday will be a test of the highest level. When Norwich came to the lane we were flying and they frustrated us beyond belief. They will be expecting to beat us now and subsequently go within 3 points of us from the position of 13th in the league. We could just surprise them and show that we have got the grit to fight in the promotion chase. Bright side is we have a couple of players that should be chomping at the bit to play and impress. I'm optimistic about the weekend.

bb is right half the league is still in with a chance of a play off spot and i think that probably means the points total for say 5th and 6th might not need to be as high i think 72pts may well secure a top 6 finish this season so i reckon 8 wins and 4 or 5 draws wont see us far off the teams weve got coming up will certainly have a go at us and that will suit us fine utb ftp
