It should really be game over. There link up play looks on a different level, whereas most of our players look like they have never meet each other
We're continuing from last season. Teams don't need to work very hard to beat us. Ominous signs. Another away game where we are being dominated in every department.
Dreadful. Isn’t it blindingly obvious that we have lots of players at the back, lots of players up front and, surprise surprise, we’re constantly overrun in midfield?
Literally just texted my brother that. Edwards = British Ivic. Slow, dull, sitting too deep, inviting pressure and refusing to budge from his ways. If Edwards got sacked after the game I really wouldn’t blame the board. It’s all his own doing.
At least he will play 4 at the back and use the players we have in their best positions. That alone is worth bringing him back over this idiot who thinks Kamara at RWB and 3 at the back will win us games.
Formation. We take a goal kick with 3 defenders in our box but they have retreated to half way. Wtf are we doing? After 20 seconds the ball fell for Kayembe who chose not to pass short to an open yellow shirt but off the pitch. Sarr gets the ball a minute later and ambled forward until the left back caught up with him. We then threw the throw in (halfway inside their half) back into our half and played it back to our defenders to roll it about before hoofing it out. Choudrey is doing naff all. I can't blame pozzo for Edwards Ivicball borefest tactics.
Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Absolutely awful. We look absolutely shockingly clueless. Really terrible. Tough to have any confidence in Edwards after that half. What is he doing in training ?
I mean we've been terribly overrun in every game this season, but hey let's try that one more time just to make sure it definitely doesn't work Edwards great at looking like he knows what he's doing post and pre match, not so much during it
Speaking of laughable. I like how Edwards has us play out from the keeper despite us exclusively hoofing it forward
Didn’t watch the game in the end. Girlfriend wanted Bake Off on. I didn’t put up a fight. Sounds like I’m not the only one.
Ever since Kabasele got a totally undeserved start at home to Norwich we've been a complete state. Nearly gives away a goal again as I type.
I have no idea what the plan is. Players look slow, unfit and not overly interested. Not sure what's going on but I think I can guess what happens soon.
The slide down the table continues. We are pedestrian and somewhat clueless. On dear, oh dear. Gino will be flicking through his contacts list in the morning. Don't be surprised to see Edwards out before the end of the International break.
Utter garbage. The club is rotten. Until Pizza and Fuxbury eff off nothing will change. Edwards took forty minutes to change from a back three then leaves Kabasele on instead of Sierralta. If we are going to play long start Davis from the off. Senior professionals are more important. We beat this sorry lot twice when we were promoted. Not a chance we get near the playoffs playing like this. Rudderless, characterless, zero application, hunger and technique for an entire half. Not one shot on goal. Should have had an equalizer and who knows but everything on the pitch is haphazard. Set pieces are dreadful attacking and defending wise. What goes on at the training ground. Do they do analysis ? Do they practice new routines ? Who is doing what ? Do they just turn up and have a kick about ? What happened to the supposed fast start. Ditto in the board room. Do those idiots know what they are doing ? Obviously not. Shambolic recruitment which also does not help the manager. Old dead wood on long contracts. No pressure on from younger players to get involved. That's if we sign any decent ones. When you look at Brighton and Brentford and what they have done that is what we should have done. Not gone following Pizza's FM game choices. The club stinks on and off the pitch. I suppose Bendover Orn and his ilk will come up with their usual garbage. No wonder Pizza takes the club for a ride with his chums Fuxbury and Bayat seeing those dolts and the drivel they spout.
Have to mention for a number of seasons along with the awful set pieces the medical team have been diabolical. Everything at the club is rotten. Pizza and Fuxbury need to go ASAP.
A lot of the talk recently has obviously been about RWB, but as mediocre as Ngakia was today, I'm sure that even if we'd had Laird or Christie starting the game today it wouldn't have made a blind bit of difference. We made Blackburn look like Man City for the first 30 minutes. Yet again we started the game seeming completely clueless and lethargic. We can't keep on waiting until we go a goal behind before we actually try and start playing football and being positive on the pitch and it seems Edwards just isn't setting us up right at the start of games. For all his talk about him wanting us to supposedly play bravely and positively, it's just not happening. He's had plenty of time to supposedly coach this lot now prior to today but if anything the players just seem more clueless. I've also said a number of times prior to even Edwards being appointed that I'm not a fan of 3 at the back, and we just don't look comfortable in it at all. Second game now that officials seem to have falsely ruled out one of our goals. But even had we managed a draw that wouldn't have hid from the poor performances from both the players and coach. I can't think of a player who had a good game today aside from Davis and maybe Bachmann. As an aside Sema actually seemed fine at LB, should we hopefully persist with 433 even with Kamara out.
This club is utterly ****ed. Hate to say I told you so, but... I told you so. This is the season the downward spiral really kicks into high gear. We are beyond a shambles both on and off the pitch and as long as Pozzo is here we are only going in one direction from now on.
Blackburn looked like a far more cohesive unit, with an identity and a game plan that they executed well. They'll be up there in play-off contention for sure. We, on the other hand, looked lost, we play like we don't work on anything in training, no attacking game plan, no defensive plan, no build-up, no transition, just praying for individual quality to piece something together. There's a lack of heart as well as brain in the performance, I may be paranoid but I don't see much belief in Edwards' ideas from the players, they don't look totally committed to the cause. Can't really remember a shot on goal? A genuine chance, a save the Blackburn keeper had to make? Sierralta comes off yet the donkey Kabasele keeps his place, I must have been watching a different game. It's so boring to repeat it but the absolute constant refusal to upgrade the centre of our defence is by far my biggest problem with Gino & Scott, someone employed in a boardroom at non-league could watch 3 games from this season or the last and tell you they are simply not good enough anymore, yet these highly paid executives and football men can't see it. I just can't work out why not? The two injury risks we took, both left injured, fantastic. We're terrible right now, no point dissecting the performance. We will not be going up if things don't change soon, we won't even get playoffs. This is now 13 months of terrible, boring football with a squad that contains the same problems, if you discount the COVID promotion season, it almost feels like 3 years now where we've just been lacking excitement, imagination and creativity. Pedro is a plaster on things right now and even he wasn't great. There is currently a smell of malaise lingering around the club that makes me feel like we're heading towards the kind of tumble that sees you end up in League 1 rapidly. All the positivity and good feeling from Edwards' refreshing press conferences have evaporated in a few weeks for me. I thought Rob Edwards was the free-flowing, attacking type of manager, I'm largely very disappointed by the entertainment on offer, he desperately needs a win in one of the next two games or I fear he will be fired.
