Re: Looking for traction to avoid the blues - Ipswich (H), 3pm Sat 15th Jan
Interesting, innit. I think (on one showing) it helped with some of the frailties we've seen of late. Certainly, a lot less restless, here. Very little back to front bypass through the middle. When it went wide, felt like a lot less going into danger zone, which is why I'd previously said that I don't care where he stops it. I'm less worried about signing CDs if we're depressurising them. I think it buys more time in that Dept, to work out I'd Johnston's a good/bad longer term bet.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 10:00 pmEDIT ha, more or less singing harmony with BWFCi. Funny how it goes.
It was a bit like watching us in reverse. They had a lot of possession, but that didn't generally translate into clear advantages.
Will be interesting to see how it copes with a more "in your face" team...

Just rewatched the game in 2x to assist with a discussion on twitter, someone said that Bako had a poor game which I can't understand.
Watching the game live I thought we were more direct however rewatching it looked more of a balance between passing it out wide and a direct route.
Genuinely struggling to see a bad performance from any one of them. I suppose a victory is more forgiving when you see players give possession away etc.

I've had a few say the same to me. Seemed to revolve around two bad touches he took, one which ballooned about 20 yards off him from a Morley ball across field.
Lee seemed to take no flak for that touch he took when through one-on-one with the keeper, or in midfield when he just needed to flick Charles in.
Lee's performance as a whole was superb.
Baka was fine - not great, but fine. No worse than Williams or Johnston.

As I say, nice to hear the oppo boss wail "we dominated but gave away soft goals".Worthy4England wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 10:59 amIt was a bit like watching us in reverse. They had a lot of possession, but that didn't generally translate into clear advantages.
Morley sums this up for me. When he. gets the ball he looks up to see if there's quick ping on - either to spread to the wingback or to set a forward scampering. If not, he'll happily pass it short and retain possession.

Stopped here as I had to make a brew.
When the ball was pinged in our box he always seemed to be back in defence too. I would like to know the distances covered by everyone as I reckon he must be near the top.

Re: Looking for traction to avoid the blues - Ipswich (H), 3pm Sat 15th Jan
Baka put a shift in. And he’s absolutely going to play more games up front. I just think he lacks the quality and that real target that Charles would thrive off.
I’m interested in whether Morley can up the pace and intensity of his game whilst retaining his passing in order to be a top end of this league player or even a championship one. No doubt he has a nice pass. My concern was whether he’s one of those that can’t adapt as the game demands more intensity, speed and physicality. Or whether his game against ipswich could work against Wigan or Wycombe or Rotherham etc…

I think we all are. Evatt and Markham wouldn't have brought him in if they didn't think he could play in the Championship.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 12:15 pmI’m interested in whether Morley can up the pace and intensity of his game whilst retaining his passing in order to be a top end of this league player or even a championship one.

Thee and me can't really know until we see it on the pitch. What I will say is that his set pieces were vastly better than we've had to endure thus far this season. Long may that continue.
I think he'd benefit from Dempsey, if we can get him. Dempsey is superb at protecting the ball under pressure, which is something the kid could learn from.

The way we played yesterday was screaming out for a Muamba to win the ball back and let us spring from there.GhostoftheBok wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 12:20 pmI think we all are.

For me that sort of a midfield type would transform us as we have the pace and quality once we break the attack up to really hurt teams.

I'd be very glad to have a top-flight player like that – but out of interest, who's he replacing?BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 12:26 pmThe way we played yesterday was screaming out for a Muamba to win the ball back and let us spring from there.

There exists an answer I agree with. I'll write it down in an envelope.

The only player you could replace with Muamba and not distort the balance we had in the middle is Williams.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 12:45 pmThere exists an answer I agree with. I'll write it down in an envelope.

Re: Looking for traction to avoid the blues - Ipswich (H), 3pm Sat 15th Jan
I mean we have three fit midfield players so obviously will sign more. And we might need a different balance in there to suit when teams are more dominant in midfield.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 12:29 pmI'd be very glad to have a top-flight player like that – but out of interest, who's he replacing?BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 12:26 pmThe way we played yesterday was screaming out for a Muamba to win the ball back and let us spring from there.
A player who can cover ground and win the ball especially with interceptions would allow us more transitions. You could make a case for such a player instead of all three midfield starters yesterday depending on circumstances.

Re: Looking for traction to avoid the blues - Ipswich (H), 3pm Sat 15th Jan
That was Evatt's football at it's most industrial yesterday. Still a lot of lovely football and a desire to pass it, but an inclination to be low risk (knocking it out of play and resetting, hitting out balls etc).
The growth in that system will be playing more, not less, of Evatt's passing patterns as the players familiarise themselves with the new system and the younger players stabilise.
A Muamba-type in for the more creative mids is....unlikely. Or more accurately, unhelpful. Movement and passing between the lines made us tick.
A bigger, stronger, faster version of Williams? Sign me up.
