BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted October 6, 2012 We have had 1 yellow and 0 red cards this season in 7 league matches. Today according to the BBC we conceded 1 foul. Maybe our target for the season is to win the Fair Play League. What do you reckon? Tell you what I reckon about today at least - we couldn''t damn well get close enough to most of the blighters to foul ''em! OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gingerpele 0 Posted October 6, 2012 No were not.I''m fairly sure we didn''t start ''flooring'' Chelsea players until around the 40th min. When BJ smacked someone down to the floor, Tettey soon followed suit. Second half that trend continued.I think BJ has been a bit limited, perhaps being told not to be too aggressive as you can easily see him picking up a lot of cards if he went out full throttle. But I would rather we had 5 yellow cards every game, had a player or two suspended every other game, but really went for it. I think a lack of cards, while very good in one respect, when were failing to stop attacks, and make a mark on games is a bit worrying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted October 6, 2012 I think the ref took a more ''English'' view of the game today There were numerous fouls that could have been given. Johnson catching tow players above the knee within seconds, holt kicking out on two occasions after being floored - though it can be hard to tell who caused the flooring, the opponent or him. A girlie dive by a Chelsea player could well have got a yellow also. But having said that we are sitting off the opposition far too much this season. we need to close them down quicker and stay with the man far more. Likewise when we get the ball, give the player options, not just stay in the same place and expect him to get it to you It''s not a matter of getting stuck in, but getting going Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
percy varco 202 Posted October 6, 2012 We do not tackle so we cannot comit fouls.

They pressed and closed down so much more quickly than we did today. OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,651 Posted October 7, 2012 We do not defend from the front and we keep our shape at all costs. How many times did you see 2 perfect banks of four but nobody pressing the ball. I''m a great Wes fan but today probably wasn''t the day to play him off the front. 442 with Holt and Morison defending from the front might have upset them a bit more. But to be fair I can''t think of any formation where we''d have got a better result today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
