Notts and ‘The High Press’

[LaxtonLad]

aka "Gerrit forward Notts!"

EXactly, Freeman25. Gerritt forward, not side to side to side and a bit forward and then back again while the enemy advances.

[laddo]

The classic Gerrit forward or simply forward Notts. Followed quickly by the moan about losing possession as we expect our centre forward to bring down a ball hit 3 feet over his head.

When persisted with the valid NCM moan then appears about totally bypassing midfield and player X or Y hardly touching the ball.

Bloody spelling police out again!

Don't you just hate them.

Not hate, more pity them

Bielsa' Leeds team nearly crumbled again due to exhaustion and probably only managed to get over the line this year due to the break.

I doubt any team will be physically capable of sustaining a season using high-pressing when it's been condensed by 2 months.

I'd go for possession based at home, deeper counter-attacking away from home using the pace of Enzio, Roberts and Sam to hit teams over the top.
