Gallowgate Toon Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) Confident he'll make changes for next week but not sure how he'll play it. Either way, playing the same starting team again would be hanging those struggling confidence out to dry and just a terrible move all-round.

NWMag Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I’ve got no issue with our set up or playing style, we are still creating plenty of chances. If Willock & Longstaff had the finishing ability of Maddison, we’d be scoring for fun every game. We desperately need a midfielder with better attacking abilities.

Maybe so, but the problem is finding one that can play with the intensity the current lads do, whilst also having that extra ability. Mind you, Eddie got Shelvey playing with that intensity, so you could argue just buy anyone class and give him a couple of months… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 There was a case for the 'making chances' argument for the current XI for a couple of games but, ultimately, finishing isn't a lucky dip. If you're not even hitting the target on repeated occasions then the manager needs to be ruthless and show you that's not good enough for what we're aiming for.

arnonel Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) If only Almiron had a right foot If only Longstaff could pass and finish If only Joelinton could finish Need Isak on for Wilson Wood was crap in the first half of the season Willock cant finish, bad decision making Must replace Willock for Maxi Maxi needs better decision making So bored of hearing this drivel. This team. THIS team is 3rd in the league, on the brink of a cup final, and breaking all sorts of records. For the love of god, cant we just support them now. Warts and all? The players above are busting a gut for the team, and absolutely smashing all previous expectations. It should be commended. Im personally so proud of every single player !

It's a lovely sentiment, and I'd expect everyone does and will carry on supporting, but the team needs to develop and grow, teams are cottoning on to how we play going forward and we need a couple of fresh faces to provide different options. As an example, my opinion is that Almirons hot streak is well and truly over and he's limited ability wise, that doesn't mean I won't be cheering his name in the gallowgate next Tuesday.

BonesJones Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Chatting on a football Discord, I have a guy tell me that Howe is using a park the bus style tactic albeit very successful. He also thinks we start with defensive players, and then bring Isak and ASM on in the hop we pinch a goal. Where is this stuff coming from? Yes I see the shithousery part of things, but in my head park the bus has always been everyone sat back hoping for that one counter goal to just shut up shop again. Is that really us, with a 22+ GD and without even checking I'd imagine around an average of 60% possession. So we just pass it around at the back all game?
