My view on today's game

Sat Sep 20, 2014 4:28 pm

The good !

We scored two goals again
A great point away to a very good team at this level
The fans sounded fantastic :ayatollah:
Manga really looks the part at centre back , what a signing he could be



The bad !


Sloppy passing and very little link up play
No fight or bottle again for 50/50 tackles
Fitness levels look shocking
Allowed a team back into the game again after being two goals up
Temporary managers showed they are not ready tactically to take this job on full time
Struggled to keep any sort of possession ( 73% - 27% ) is not good enough
Only 3 shots on target ( 1 on Tuesday ) needs to be addressed
Players played out of position (one of oles biggest mistakes) again


Having said that , the boys deserve the benefit of the doubt today due to the goings on at the club this week !
Shame we couldn't hold on that could have been the boost we needed :(

We can get our minds off the league now and go attack the cup, probably exactly what we need :ayatollah:

All good points there, the biggest issue for me is lack of fitness. We were on our knee's again in the last 15 minutes just like on Tuesday. :x

Would be good to get our philosophy across in the cup game. Play our strongest team. In their rightful positions so they have an idea on how to play

The lack of fitness is of major concern, imo, bearing in mind OGS was critical of two or three [?] players fitness levels pre season. Its like when last season ended some players didn't give a F.

shows that there is no commitment from the players, been saying it all week that its the players who need to change things, a manager can only do so much and is the one who is sacked at the end of it......
