AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Watching Wigan now. They're 3-1 up away from home and they've still got 5/6 players ahead of the ball when in possession. Such a difference to the way we play. I should add to that they've been under considerable pressure for the second half as well. They do nearly get relegated every season mind.

Yeah there's a definite balance to be struck. I'm all for easy on the eye football as from my posts you can obviously tell but there needs to be a balance between great attacking football and solid base defensively. Laudrup for example for most of this season has found a nice balance, that's the sort of stuff i imagine with the players we have plus 2 or 3 additions could play on a regular basis and get results.

They also get crowds of about 20k and have a wage bill that's probably a fraction of ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a difference to the way we play. I should add to that they've been under considerable pressure for the second half as well. They do nearly get relegated every season mind. Yeah, I know. It probably goes without saying that they do that with a worse group of players than us though. They made quite a few changes away from home yesterday against lower league opposition and still played good positive football and it paid off, that's pretty good evidence of a way of playing that's implemented across the club imo. I don't even need to speculate on what our football would be like in those circumstances under Pardew. I'm just sick of watching teams like Wigan and Swansea and being envious of their manager/coaching team, aren't you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Swansea aye. They don't concede many either. Wigan are always likely to get thumped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Much in the same way our team outgrew the likes of Nolan and Simpson, or even to a lesser extent Gosling and the style of players we had when he signed compared to now our squad has definitely outgrew Pardew.

Yorkie Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 He was calling 'em Mentalist all the way through the last press conference as well. It's pretty stupid. There isn't an N there, is there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this is his last season here, the board will surely either see what we're seeing or will eventually. I think they just don't want to upset the squad halfway through the season when were struggling to stay in the league. Unless he goes on a massively impressive run, he's got to go.
