You can't deny the players are playing for Slade otherwise that late goal wouldn't of happened. :ayatollah:

Yeah fair plays the desire and commitment not to lt there heads drop and push for a winner deserve alot of credit for that

What about the players though.

Some people are so blinded by their hatred of slade that they cant see whats going on.

Nothing that happened in the second half was down to being "tactically inept" the players let him and us down in the second half. No doubt about it. Thankfully we had the drive and fighting spirit to kick on when it went 2 2, but where did that go after 60 minutes?

Mason was an embarrasment today

Slade probably sent them to sleep with his boring talk at half time. If it were me I wouldn't even listen to him at half time because he hasn't a clue what he is on about.

Some players were out on their feet and he didn't make changes apart from a like for like until after they equalised in the 87th minute.

Brentford put fresh legs on half hour to go in midfield and started bossing it

If that's not tactically inept I don't know what is.

However it's this ineptness that's actually making for better matches.

Slade probably sent them to sleep with his boring pre-match team talk before kick off, leading to our poor first half performance...oh, wait a minute, we won the first half 2-0! :laughing6:

Slade was tactically again missing the obvious. Also a lot of players don't appear fit enough.

Yes players take some responsibility but it's the manager who can make decisions. Got out of jail slade as I fear a huge chorus of boos had we drew or even lost.

Also what is it with mason. Can he not sprint? He was fresh but never seems to break a neck and close down....

Still we won yay

You say our players don't appear fit enough, but we've got late wins tonight and against Bolton recently. I know we have conceded late goals as well, but the fact we kept going till the end tonight and pinched a late win suggests there is nothing wrong with our fitness levels.

Brentford were turning the screw before making the subs then scored from a corner. Not sure how much tactics come into this one.

You have a point about the sub. Personally i might have been tempted to take watt off for whitts to get and get a bit more control in the middle. He went with mason who was an absolute embarrasment.

Another good game and 4 poins from two home games. Its far from perfect but its been a good few days as a city fan

Re: got out of jail

Paul they were passing us off the park and pushing us back and had something like 4 or 5 corners in 5/10 minutes and eventually scored off one for their first.

The second was coming it was wave after wave he done nothing to even try and change it. Look at Ralls and Gunnarson trying to close down the guy who slipped the pass. They are knackered. They needed help in there last half hour especially. This striker for a striker when 2 nil up and under the cosh is f*cking tactically inept!!!

Thankfully we got the win this time but far more often than not we keep throwing 2 nil leads slip and we won't win. It's not good a trait.

However as I've said it is making for more exciting although it would be nice to be the team to come from 2 nil down for a change.

A good result tonight well done city.
We just need to tighten the defence and we'll be fine.
Not sure with what someone said, they'd like us to come from 2-0 down and lose 3-2, not sure how that works :lol:

Re: got out of jail

Tue Dec 15, 2015 11:11 pm

The only reason we got out of jail tonight was because we had Fabio at full back and was still sprinting around otherwise the cross would never have happened. Most of the players looked out on their feet with 10 mins to go. Only 2 were still running andthat was Gunnarson and Fabio. Slade was very lucky tonight, he would have been strung up if we had not won tonight after being 2-0 up again and looking very comfortable. I honestly do not know what his half time team talks are like.

Listen you've probably had a drink because anyone who wants us to lose must be drunk or a jack, so we'll chat tomorrow maybe when you've slept it off.

Totally agree

Similar in the last game, formation changes by other team didn't cause the goals we conceded defenders and midfield failing to close down and follow their men cost us the goals

You could argue switching to a 5 man midfield could have cancelled them out but we shut off twice and it cost us

You cant say any of the goals in the 3 games were not coming. Sustained pressure as a result of the tweaks made by the opposition and not counter acted by our manager.

Yes individuals could have done better on some of the goals but tired legs, tired minds, especially last night. That was evident last night yet apart from a like for like up the end of pitch where there we werent seeing any ball he didnt make any substitutions to freshen it up.

Hes now found a good plan A, cant fault him for that, but he needs to learn from these 3 games that he needs a plan B and make betters use of his bench.

this is the point of contention for me though. i dont think the goals were the result of changes brentford made. Like i said they were already getting a foothold in the game.

I've said before that i want to see Slade learning from what is going on in the game, finally cementing ralls in the centre is a positive (though he had a shocker last night) now he needs to realise that mason isnt good enough. Its tough on Slade because hes tried to talk him up this season and give him a prolonged run in the side, but mason let him down last night.

Well according to their own manager it was only when they made the changes did they really start to make inroads.

Either way wether you felt it was coming before the changes or not Slade still do not see it and did nothing to try and address it. Wether that be him tweaking his formation or bringing on fresh legs.

Get your point more so the fresh leg piece for me in regards to last night personally would have brought whitts on at 2-0 for watt to slow the game down keep possession and frustrate them

Hopefully he starts to learn from this as well, would like to think tho that someone in his management Team can also see what we are all seeing! Lot of people still credit Trollope with our better form this season well I would like to think if he's as good as people claim he can see what we've pointed out and do something about it

Re: got out of jail

Wed Dec 16, 2015 12:01 pm

Yes thats a fair point on Trollope Smakerz. Whats the point of 3 coaches and a manager if neither of them can see the bloody obvious!!!
