Wagner says " we looked solid and organised.."

[cambridgeshire canary 6,756]

Oh dear.

 

[yellowrider120 767]

Totally deluded as usual. 

[S_81 816]

Well, we shipped less goals than away at Plymouth, so the bar is low as to what standard he thinks is solid. But we sure as hell didn’t come close to winning or drawing over the full 90mins. 
 

He better take the game to Ipswich. If he asks the team to play like that on Saturday there will be hell to pay. 

[Canario 207]

Southgate-esque in his desire to concede the game to the opposition. They were fragile despite some tidy play. Should have pushed on for the 2nd. By far the weakest area of the team is defence so why invite trouble?

I would perhaps agree with that, trouble was when we had the ball we were careless with it numerous times, Duffy at least twice, Sara and a couple more.

[KeiranShikari 1,423]

For a lot of the game we were fairly well organised. Sitting behind the ball for 90 minutes was never going to end well against that quality of opposition though. 

Thankfully the rest of our run in is pretty easy.

 

[Capt. Pants 4,263]

To be fair we kept our shape all game. Don't go over the halfway line or stop the crosses coming in.

[TheBaldOne66 693]

And that’s why he should be gone regardless of getting in the play offs or not. He’s clueless 🙈

Have you forgotten about the Scum game next Saturday and you cannot seriously think a repeat of the negative tactics like we saw today will get us through potentially three play off games and into the PL ?

[Mello Yello 2,297]

We were as solid as my bowel evacuations were this morning after my last nights consumption of a chilli masala and gallon of Kingfisher.....

Sounded like a flock o' seagulls....an' freckles on the pan....

[Robert N. LiM 4,429]

Kenny pretty honest in this interview.

[Robert N. LiM 4,429]

And Wagner also honest in two subsequent Davitt tweets:

'You have to show quality and bravery and individual moments. The truth is we are better than we showed today. We should have competed more in ball possession. It can happen. But I will put this to bed quickly.'

'But in ball possession, we were below-par. Nowhere near where we have been in recent weeks or months. That is the disappointing thing.'

Explains why he should have gone to Specsavers and why he sat back and made no changes until we were no longer looked solid or organised. Blindly obvious we were getting over run and did nothing. Would respect him much more if he owned his poor tactics.

Normally after a game is over, I calm down, stop ranting, put things into context, and know what I feel. Today I have no idea. I don't want to trash Wagner because he's overseen a great run that means our season still has some interest. But at the same time today's set-up and subsequent performance seemed so craven that it's hard to feel supportive of him. I know Leicester have an overall level of player which is way above ours (although I think we have three or four players who could easily fit into their squad), but Bristol City, whose squad is probably inferior to ours, managed to really challenge them, so why did we just roll over and surrender?

The same against Ipswich and Wagner is toast IMO.

Yeah, that Leicester squad are miles better than the scum and we're at home. We clearly set up to keep them out and hopefully nick a goal but we haven't been doing that against weaker opposition.  

We're in good form and 1 match away at Leicester won't dampen the players' spirits I'm sure.

[Making Plans 936]

I would hate to see us when we are not solid and disorganised.

One minute of brilliance and 90+ minutes of being totally outplayed.

 

[Ken Hairy 3,774]

This is why I can't get behind him long term, tactically he's just a Yank Southgate,  totally gutless against teams slightly better than us. 

[ron obvious 1,514]

The posts on here are disingenuous to say the least. Wagner also said he was not happy or satisfied, & disappointed with our overall levels of performance. His feelings today seem to be vastly different to those after the So'ton game.

Not much more to say Kenny. Very good honest assessment. Say it like it was. SPOT ON Kenny. It's life, we were awful , but this can happen. Next week the biggest test.

He was awful today. I think Wagner had a go at him, so he had no choice but to say what he did. Today, Kenny was everything that I said should mean he should not be a regular starter. Unless he starts as a LCB.

Hope those who have names him POTS are still happy with their choice.

Agree Shef, but I would add  he was as shììť as everybody else around him.  POTS , it certainly was a very potty day. I'm struggling to think of one good player on the park today. WE as a collective,  completely  bottled it. My honest opinion, why????????

[KeiranShikari 1,423]

We've had one of the best defenses in the league over the last 20-25 games. Genuinely surprised so many of you lot are ****ting the bed over a match away at Leicester.

 

 

[Alfie54 76]

The set piece coach seems to have been a success I wonder if there’s a what to do when you go in the lead coach out there?

Easy. David Wagner and his negative tactical approach.

Yep , it is easy , so why does he do it. You cannot win games like that, impossible or I've got the answer .it was definitely  an April fools day in Brazil , for sure. 😡🎯

I think you have to take all of Paddy's tweets together from his interview of DW rather than just one in isolation, otherwise you aren't going to get the required context.

Over the last 40 games there are only 7 teams with more goals conceded than us and 5 of them are the bottom 5 teams.

As far as I'm aware, all games played count in the final reckoning.

 

 

[The Real Buh 3,446]

If we setup like that against Ipswich we’ll lose. And if we lose and don’t have a go Wagner may as well pack his bags now.
