Red Wardy Returns Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 1 minute ago, Phileas Fogg said: No he isn't - evidently. But whilst Diedhiou and Djuric are out we lack a presence up front. It's essential to how we play, distracting and pulling their defence apart so that our creative players (such as Reid and Paterson) have the space to pick passes and score goals. I think we should have overloaded the midfield and left Reid as a lone striker. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd keep a team out that will have the best chance of keeping the score as low as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoxton casual Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 2 minutes ago, Cheesleysmate said: Didn't expect anything less than this today. Far too many games all close together with the Man Utd game on top, and long term injuries rather than short term ones. It's almost been a game every 2 to 3 days and against sides at the top. Still, not many other sides around us have capitalised over the Christmas break either, so we write it off and going again. The timing of the Man Utd game could not have been worse. What a night but as many thought it is having a massive effect on our Xmas form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re 4th in the league, this is our first heavy defeat of the season! How many unbeaten away were we before tonight? I despair sometimes I honestly do. I swear some on here are just hoping for failure so they have something to post about.

You're talking about an isolated game but i'm talking about our style of play on a bigger scale to explain why Flint is playing forward You can make the argument about tactical choices for the Wolves game but the fact is that our style of play requires at least one bigger forward. It's not a fluke we signed both Djuric and Diedhiou in the last year - both with size, presence and energy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) 12 minutes ago, Portland Bill said: Had a bad feeling about today, it’s always hard when your second game in a very quick turnaround is away from home, especially at somewhere like Villa. Just too many games in a short period. An insane fixture list which favours the big spenders with the extensive depth of squad. Add our huge cup game into the mix and this was always likely to happen. Rather have our festive run than Cardiff's though. At least the degree of this defeat will persuade Johnson and Lansdown that some new faces are essential this month.

Spike Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 To be fair how many injuries do we have, how many games have we played, it was always going to happen sooner or later. It's a bad result but for me it shows whilst we have a hard working squad we still lack real depth and that's what we need. Same thing happened with GJ in charge, we needed to bring players in during the January period, we didn't and we ultimately didn't go up, I hope LJ has different plans but based on his talk about not signing players I can see it being very difficult for this small squad to keep up it's results.
