We rely solely on Ifill, they rely on Flores, Cassio, Dodd, Ramsey and Van Dijk..valeo2010-12-05 17:43:59

We're always static - is our biggest problem. Too many DM's who don't know how to make runs.


Exactly. Very little movement from players near the ball carrier but movement further away, not much wonder we long ball it so much.

We actually look ok in the midfield when Muscat gets on the ball.

Brown and Lia have been really poor - Ward has been quite good going forward

Because we have nothing much on the bench either..Greenie aside...and even then he is a runner off the ball and a poacher.

I was thinking Ward was average and Brown and Lia have been quite good.

We have only one creative midfielder. Ward whos okayish, Brown and lia are terrible (well inconsistant to be nice) on the ball or invisalbe seemingly. Ifiil feels the need to do eveything and then we have no one in the box. :( raynes2010-12-05 17:51:03

I will lighten up when we actually do something that I can cheer about...at the moment it is the same old rubbish that headless chooks dish up....endeavour and nothing decisive.

Thats why this game thread is here - to vent our angst/post with capitals and exclamation marks when we score ffs. If you don't like it don't look. Not hard. Stop being a bunch of princesses.

It's like you think that if we're losing at half-time the coaching staff go in and pat all the players on the back saying good job.

Yes. I think he is not very tactically smart.

Reasonable, given that we are probably a bit fatigued, but you'd think it's almost inevitable we are going to get caught on the break again, maybe a few times. I feel like the only way we are going to score is from a lucky deflection or a keeping error.

I thought we hussled them quite well in patches, but let the foot off the throat towards the end.
