And I am confident that we can garner a pot full of points in the next six games. We ran into a team that is walking the league and we can see why. I don't know whether or not they changed their set up to counter us but their tactic was spot on. They knew DW would want us playing out from the back and pushing the full backs up. And our midfield three became undermanned with Aarons and Dimi having to start from deep. And Cullen had a field day with nobody within five yards of him. Kenny had to hit it long and Sara and Dowell were ineffective having to cover and tackle. Known as tactician, I am sure DW will have sorted it by next match at Bristol. I hope so, Its another I can manage to get to. Thats all very well, but Dean Smith would have got us 3 draws from the last 3 games due to his scintillating tactics, which 'proves' it was a waste of money sacking him. We should have cheered more, idiots!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,609 Posted February 5, 2023 It's irrelevant how good this squad would be in the Prem because it wouldn't be the same squad playing in the Prem. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We should have kept Smith until the fans learnt how to support him properly, the results would, naturally pick up at that point , as would performances creating a snowball effect that would take this league and the next by storm . Mind you , it does take a ' special' kind of mind to beleive this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

repman 633 Posted February 5, 2023 You need tests like this, they're 6 months ahead of us in terms of coaching and with the benefit of a full pre-season too. Wagner has been quite sensible so far but I think our pressing is way off what he would like it to be, it's just not realistic to do that in the middle of the season. Obviously there was almost a second pre-season this year but we didn't take advantage of that. Even with that time though it would've only been 4 or 5 more matches played under a new coach. There's no training in the world that's better than competitive matches. The first games under a new manager with a different style are great learning experiences, and you're probably better for it if things don't go perfectly to plan. Burnley won 6 of their first 15 games this season, they've won 13 out of 14 since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anybody even try to intimidate the referee when they're like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We probably heard similar about Brentford before they went up in the playoffs. There is a reasonable chance that with better, more appropriate coaching and a few strategic decent recruits that we could stay up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My point was about the refusal to put any effort into supporting even when we were at the top, because of claims we were in a false position because we'd only faced easy teams and poor results to Burnley and co proved the manager wasn't getting enough out of the squad. We had easy teams the last two games before; this game against a top side we got whipped, underlining we're no better off, just some people are happier for a vague 'eye test' argument that has cost us millions in compensation for terminating a contract according to their wishes. Yet again the sack the manager argument is shown to be nonsense. Edited February 5, 2023 by littleyellowbirdie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwindonCanary 455 Posted February 5, 2023 It does not make good reading that Burnley spent more than us during the season including one for £8.4 million we would never pay that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
