Alessandro Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) Well the first half reflecting the wet and windy weather for us there. First 35 minutes or so we looked decent. Some excellent play from the back and a few good breaks at pace got us in good positions, but only ever really half chances. Chances - HNM having an excellent half pressed the Blackpool back line and did well before perhaps going down easily. COD doing the same (going down to easily) in a 1 on 1 race. Semenyo shot after super press bypassing move from the back, when Martin might have been a better option in the middle. We looked pretty well placed and in the game before a very poor 3 or 4 minutes of play. COD and Klose guilty of not getting rid and danger man Bowler sits up a cross where, again Dasilva beaten in the air at the far post by a header back across goal for a simple tap in and City are undone. Suddenly looking shaken, Dasilva (who’d be doing well getting forward, if leaving space for Hamilton to run into once or twice) being pressed seems to get mixed up with Max and a corner is conceded from which its 2 nil, Kalas out jumped by Madine. Scott good again on the whole. Generally impressed with Klose despite the poor clearance. Undone by a poor 3 minutes of defending. Tough second half ahead Edited February 5, 2022 by Alessandro 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an unnecessary error, regardless of what happens after isn't it. You cannot let yourself be outmuscled there. That's the basics of football I'm afraid.

Davefevs Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 5 hours ago, Davefevs said: Played 541 last time out (Fulham away), but they’ve tended to go 442, especially at home. If Madine plays then we mustn’t let him peel onto Pring. If that happens I would suggest a quick change to 442, move Pring to LB and assign Klose to him with him and Kalas as a CB2. O’Dowda (or whoever plays LWB) will have a big test against Bowler, and I will be looking to see if we can impose on him, but as a minimum stopping him may go a long way to getting the points. Youd hope Martin and Semenyo can get some change out of Heck-Potato and Keogh…but Keogh usually plays well against us. Garbutt at LB has a lovely left foot, but also rash in the tackle. Can be got at. Not far off was I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
