Got absolutely schooled today, for the first time in a very long time. Poor day at the office. I mean, we've been on a 5 match winning streak to be fair. But I am hoping this is an opportunity to re-examine the situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will identify the faults and work on them. Pretty much this, we had a rough patch this season and he managed to turn it around, hopefully this game will result in a positive change for the next game.

The College Dropout Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 When we come up against a box midfield like that we need a proper double pivot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I dont think it was so wrong. They attacked our weaknesses really well: Pressed Big dan every time he had the ball and forced mistakes. Pinned bruno down with two pressing him in the middle. diagonals and over the top balls to watkins to exploit schar and tripps lack of pace. Also they seemed a hell of a lot more up for it and were shithousing every possible out there. We just couldnt get going at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 We lost the midfield battle - gave them far too much space/time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of our midfield got anywhere near them today defensively and Bruno abandons the position quite regularly, which is where Longstaff usually comes in I guess.

HaydnNUFC Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Besides the fact that his changes and tweaking of the formation away at Brentford won us the game. Aye, not flexible imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPL Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) Surprised he dropped Longstaff today. I would have thought he would have kept the same 11 from Brentford. We've not had too many days off like today. Howe has more than earnt it and will definitely learn from it. Edited April 15, 2023 by CPL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Expected us to look different after the break, but it just never happened. The lack of options is a big problem mind. Longstaff is a great player to have in the squad, but I don't think he's the solution when you need to get a grip of the midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He literally changed tactics a week ago and turn the game around I don't think on paper there was much wrong with his selection, he should've changed it earlier in the second half but hopefully he will take the lessons learned from this game, they were brilliant and we were poor and at this stage of our club's progress the odd off day is allowed providing we are able to bounce back.
