It seems we've been rumbled. I'm patient enough to give The Coach the 1st ten games. That way you can even out 'one off' results and see if a pattern is emerging.
What seems to be happening? Let me imagine the opposition tactics.
'The forest CHs. Lack an old head in there. That's to our advantage. Figs...he's still young and got a mistake in him. Worrall's concentration can slip towards the end of the half. What I'd like to see us do is keep it tight for the 1st half...and then go at them, kick it long, direct and overload the CHs near the end. They can get a bit panicky and lose their shape. They sit deep and don't have a lot of pace.'
I might be wrong. But there's a clear pattern of 'last minute' goals. It's either the Coach's set up. Or the CHs. Or one of them. Or 'it's in their head' now. ie. They're waiting for it to happen and will make it happen.
I think QPR did the right thing bringing in the CH they did. And Swansea seem to have nuanced their back line according to the EFL on Quest.
I don't think we've been as discreet at fortifying our back line. True. We brought in Blackett but he played at LB.
...and we brought in the young CH for 'a large' fee. Is he going to play instead of Figs? Who has 'got caught' a few times. He seems to lack pace. And the problem is. The championship is going to have quick attacking players. We could do with someone who has pace in the CH back line.
So again, if I was the opposition manager, I'd be overloading our young RB (inexperienced...) and Figs (prone to an error/no pace...)
The CHs seemed to be nowhere for the last goal. Seemed a bit soft to me.
I've probably got all that wrong. So I'm sure the Coach will be able to fix whatever...it is.
SA.
