Gee, is it sad to want to be a fly on a Fleetwood wall when Joey, er.."analyses" the game, especially that first goal....?LeverEnd wrote: ↑Sat Nov 02, 2019 4:59 pmHe's probably ramming Keith's head into a wall right now the horrible shitbag.TANGODANCER wrote: ↑Sat Nov 02, 2019 4:57 pmJoey won't be the best pleased guy in Kipperville tonight.....
Great win, on a roll now. Well done to all.

Barton’s post match comments seem reasonable, surprisingly. Probably fancies a crack at managing us. Up the whites!
Lowe top man. Edwards made a real difference, and helped Zouma relax. Luke Murphy appears to have turned a corner which is really positive...and the lads up top will get you goals!

Awesome game of football. Really entertaining, both teams trying yo play creative, thoughtful football.
- They had most of the ball, but we created the best chances.
- Lowe, O'Grady, Dodoo all really good for us, the rest had solid games too.
- Zouma is consistent. Looks like a really good prospect for 70 mins, then his hyper ADHD kicks in, he dons an imaginary cape, and goes charging around randomly. One excursion in the 88th minute was particularly terrifying. Hill needs to get him to feign injury on 70mins, and get the physio to force feed him a sedative.
- They were really good, and very attractive to watch. Not sure their keeper and defenders are quite good enough for the total football approach but they could easily finish top two. Lewis Coyle, their right back, was really good.
Four of our next five games are against teams in the bottom six. 28 points behind Coventry in the last play off spot, with two games in hand. COYW

That would be me failing to grasp our ever changing central defensive partnerships. Or last nights booze!

Zouma is like that the whole game it just becomes more apparent as the stakes are raised and gaps appear in midfield....bristol_Wanderer3 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2019 6:43 amAwesome game of football. Really entertaining, both teams trying yo play creative, thoughtful football.

I thought Zouma had a decent game, Lowe & Dodoo outstanding - I thought that it was strange to sub Politic but apparently it was tactical, D Murphy took his goal well. We did look tired again though last 20 mins and I thought that we sat back to much.
Decent performance, against a good Fleetwood side - referee was appalling though, one of the most biased I've ever seen.

We didn't sit back, it's just a consequence of us not having any proper options on the bench forcing us to practically rely on the starting eleven to play the full ninety minutes. A starting eleven which includes a 36-year-old and two 33-year-olds.
Add to that them being genuinely a very good team and it was inevitable they'd dominate the latter stages.

Think it’s a consequence of the pressing game we play. No way can you keep that up for 90 subs or not. Especially as you say with the ages of our players in the front three.nicholaldo wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2019 9:16 amBertie Wooster wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2019 8:29 amI thought Zouma had a decent game, Lowe & Dodoo outstanding - I thought that it was strange to sub Politic but apparently it was tactical, D Murphy took his goal well.

It’s a strange one because their goal was from nothing but you always felt we weren’t quite in control second half off the ball. We don’t quite look right even though we restricted them well enough.

Fleetwood are one of the better sides in the division; points against that type of team are very welcome. I still think our (slim) chances of staying up are by winning the six-pointers against bottom-third teams, but it helps if we can nick points elsewhere too.
By the way, I worked out this morning that in the last three games we've been two goals clear for 75 minutes (52 v Cods, 1 v Citeh kids, 22 in Piratetown). That's more than we were in the entirety of last season (56 minutes: 10 at QPR, 27 v Millwall, 15 v Walsall in the Cup, 4 at home to Bristol City). For the record, in 2017/18 it was 90 minutes.

Two things:
This side will not get relegated
Give Jason Lowe the Player of the Season award now, so as to save fecking about later on.

I really like how Emmanuel, when he goes round the opposition wide player, then often heads infield and attacks their defensive midfield, central defensive areas, as opposed to heading down the line. It happened more at Bristol than yesterday, due to him being forced to defend more, but I remember one time it resulted in him being fouled and winning a free kick 30 yards out. I wonder if it is just the way he does things, or if it is something we work on?

Sounds a bit like Guardiola's inverted full-backs. Although he's not been doing it as much recently because of central defensive weakness, Kyle Walker spent quite some time in the previous two seasons dominating that old "inside-right" channel of the opposition's half. It's one of what Pep calls the interiores, key pitch areas which are often undermanned because they fall between opponents' positions.bristol_Wanderer3 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2019 12:54 pmI really like how Emmanuel, when he goes round the opposition wide player, then often heads infield and attacks their defensive midfield, central defensive areas, as opposed to heading down the line.

^^ Thanks.
Yeah I've seen a few managers copying Pep's inverted full backs, Lee Johnson at Bristol City for one.
Obviously those managers are focusing on breaking teams down when they have the ball. With Emmanuel, it is more his direction of travel that I find interesting, rather than any obvious, preset positional directive from our management. There were better examples at Bristol that didn't make the highlights reel, but look here at 1:10. He beats his opponent, but then heads into midfield, rather than heading down the flank.

Cheeky fish-bothering bastards have launched a complaint about our stewards after their nerr-do-wells kicked off with them in the away end.
