Re: Have the “hoofball” players

I don't think anyone is against better football.

I'm sceptical of attempting to slide Juke in to outpace the last defender and walk it round the goalkeeper as Plan A.

If we want a beautiful passing team that is great when we have the players to do it.
When I look at our passing going forward it is often poor. We rarely play nicely weighted passes into the path of a player on the run. Usually it's behind him, smashed at his feet so he has to stop to control the ball or just hit out of play. Whether it is the quality of the pass or the quality of the player I don't know, but too often our payers need to control the ball before they can use it. It's not arriving to be moved on first time. It is particularly noticeable at the moment that our forward movement is laboured.

I’m not having that ‘we don’t have the players’ crap. It’s what a manager instils and sticks to on that training ground. That’s what a manager is paid to do. We don’t even attempt to play football, it’s constant long ball crap straight from kick off (CB gets it, and pumps it straight to the donkey up front). Every team that I have watched in this league actually ATTEMPT to play football and some of these teams have squads a lot worse than ours!
