Love how some of us get smashed for pointing out flaws and stubborn tactics from Rafa late subs poor selections.

 

Finally the penny drops for some and its ok to be critical ?.

 

So fickle.

Give yourself a pat on the back.

 

Not about being right or wrong tho. But the petty little fairies who freak if Rafa gets slight criticism.

 

Best team in the division best manager. No question.

 

Sticking religiously to the same tactics is ludicrous.

 

Surley that is obvious.

 

The same tactic that has us the most wins and league goals in the country?

no, it's not really...we're still 2nd well ahead of 3rd albeit having a bit of a stumble

 

i'd imagine the idea from rafa's POV is that sticking with the formula will eventually pay dividends and his career to date suggests he'd be right about it

There's a blueprint emerging of how to play against us and get results. He needs to change something quick or it'll cost us promotion, because we're not good enough to overcome the tactic of defending deep and in numbers currently - that's absolutely for certain.

That's not the point, you have to be flexible and react if chasing or another team has nullified you. Yes you stick to it for 95% of the time but you must be willing to change for the other 5%. Rafa simply isn't right now and it's costing us a bit.

Embarrassed by some of the nackers on here like.

 

Honestly KI, your are pathetic at times.  People are rightly concerned from 4 defeats in 7 league games.

 

Except that being concerned isn't what I find embarrassing. Carry on with your needlessly inflammatory tirades with everyone though. :thup:

You could see for a good 10 mins before Colback gave them the game that was coming. Same against Wednesday. If it's not working that's what the subs are for.

 

The subs are largely poor too, though. People who think we're gonna win this league without investment this month need a wake-up slap.

 

Has any football fan ever said they'd rather not buy a couple of players given the chance then?

I dont believe that its just down to that, The best players perhaps. Without Shelvey we could be one of the worst sides atm.

 

The tactics need looking at when you go behind.1 up top away from home i dont mind so much. Probably why our away form is so good. 1 up top at home is bollox pal.

Cmon stop being in denial. We should spunk this league not be losing this many. A manager of this calibre and players to match,and now we look like we might have to spend even more to buy the title or promotion?

He needs to be questioned and face criticism - some of his selections, tactics and substitutions are woeful.

 

He is a very good manager and the right man long term, but he is making it tough in this division. Desperate for two or three fresh faces this month.

What is the deal with his last minute subs? Even when the likes of Colback and Gouffran are playing at a League Two level?

 

Persisting with Perez seems a bit odd, too. He has been crap for ages now.

 

I thought after a lot of early rotation, he has settled on a fairly similar team. But I fear we have been found out a bit. We look a bit rigid and it's worrying that we have relied on Shelvey so much.

 

Still a long way to go. But one of the worst teams in the league have done the double over us and we couldn't score against them. The last few games have been a bit worrying, TBH.

 

Let's hope it's just a bit of a wobble, we get some new players in Jan and Rafa gets us back on track.

Was everyone fewming this time in 09/10 when we had exactly the same amount of points from 25 games or is it mainly because a lot of people thought we were going to win pretty much every game?
