I think I need to go on holiday more often, I was away last week and the match report seemed to suggest we played some football...
Hard to believe after watching our recent performances.
Including today's game...
Don't get me wrong, the score flattered Fulham. They didn't create much. The penalty and sending off were rubbish referring. It's generally a poor Championship across the board.
But that doesn't excuse us for playing no football at all...
This tactic of just hoofing it anywhere and then pressing their defence like mad for a mistake can't be the be all and end all, surely.
Why are we not working on actually holding the ball up top? Interchange between the front 3? Taking care with our passes rather than treating the ball as a hot potato?
Why are we not reverting away from the back 3 even with 10 men?
I really don't want to slate Ismael, because he's working with his hands tied. We have signed poorly for years and he hasn't had money to invest. But I'd like to see a Plan B...
Now the results are turning sour, it's time to see what else he has in the locker...
An alternative plan to break teams down when the bully boy hustle and bustle tactics don't work...
Still, at least we get to see us play without the woeful 'kick it anywhere' merchant Darnel Furlong next week.
Every cloud eh...
Although losing that long throw probably takes away our best attacking asset. That's how low it has got to this season...
