Guest OneManMob Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Why? The way we played it last year was crazy from a defensive point of view at times when we attacked we had 1 defender back. We just cant do that in the championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 11 goals against (and counting) in 4 games is a start... Constantly being done on the counter attack so if we insist on sticking to a back three we need to get seriously better at defending or stop giving the ball away so cheaply as it's costing us goals in every game. That's mentality and ability not formation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland Bill Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Anyone think Wade Elliot would come out of retirement and play as a defensive holding midfielder! We certainly seem like we need one or two experienced older heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 That's mentality and ability not formation! To an extent, but you have to think that the system is used by almost no one for a reason. When you're the best team in the league by a distance it's a different proposition. Winning 5-4 is fun, losing 2 and 3 nil isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Watford managed to get promoted last season using it and weren't the best team in the league on paper All I'm saying is three teams out of three have beaten us comfortably without any of them playing very good football. At this level it's pretty clear we're going to have to be considerably better defensively to make this system work for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I don't disagree. Don't think we should be ditching the system on 19th August Maybe not but when is he allowable time to start being concerned? If not 4 games, 8? 10? 20? Another couple of performances like this and it'll be 5 played and zero points. Cotts will be incredibly worried about our defensive inability, no matter what he says. And he's not the only one! It's not like we've even played top end teams yet. I'm definitely not a panicker by nature but to suggest there's nothing to worry about and it's all good is wide of the mark!

You know i agree with a lot of what you say Bill, i just dont think people are able to sensible coversations about where we are. 3 5 2 is fine, but we do not have 11 players good enough to play it and compete at this level.
