Regis le Bris - confirmed

We sat back for the last 60 mins and were outclassed in that period. If you didn’t see that then football probably isn’t for you.

You still haven’t answered what our tactics were second half and what pleased you of the second half performance.

You never asked me that question but nothing much pleased me apart from we were down to our bare bones and grinded out a result. You can dribble on about tactics but there was nothing much Le Bris could have done differently with the players he had available to him, what would you have done?
 
He’s been magnificent and I love him but I wish we’d be a bit more positive going forward. Even last season in the Championship I think we only scored a few more goals than Plymouth who were relegated.

Can you tell me from what you’ve seen this season generally what his tactics are?

Personally I would have continued the high press that got us the goal instead of camping in our own half after scoring. We aren’t any good at it.

They had players missing as well yet looked like the home team. As for bare bones, Sadiki and Reinildo are the only two regular starters for us missing.

Traore and Ballard are also first teamers and Talbi has started plenty too so that's nonsense.

Are you ignoring that their goal was a result of our high press?

I think he's very flexible tactically. Despite being more defensive minded, he's certainly not one of these "philosophy coaches" and you see us switch tactics game to game and in game.

You've said yourself in this thread that today he switched from a high pressing game to sitting deeper. That sums Le Bris up, always looking to adapt. Not all fans may agree with all of decisions he makes but for me, he always looks to play and adapt to the opposition and game scenario. I'd much prefer that to someone like Russel Martin who plays exactly the same way no matter what.

If you call Cirken running about like a headless chicken out of position a high press then fine.

From the moment we scored we reverted back to the usual low block, which is our norm.

One thing I will agree with you on is the full back going into central midfield. Its an awful tactic for us and makes us as a team and the individual player worse.

They had three mainstays missing and another limped off after 30mins.

You haven’t answered about how the tactics are so good and what they are.

You never asked me that question either ffs :lol: Is that where one of their mainstays is on the bench and one has been injured for a while?

The tactics have got us 28 points from 18 games as a newly promoted club having to put together a whole new team we also have the 2nd most points from losing a position so I think Le Bris generally knows how to change a game this season, I'm no tactical expert and having seen some of your first 11 picks on here I'm going to assume neither are you.

In other words you cannot see any tactics.

The plan generally seems to be we press high when we see a trigger to press high and if they beat that we very quickly go into a low block, if like today in the 2nd half we struggle to put 3 passes together then we end up camped in our own half that's not Le Bris telling them to sit back that's us being pinned back. We're a newly promoted team who's aim is to stay up and that generally means making us hard to beat and grinding out points, obviously the time will come where we'll have to go to the next level and play more expansive football but until then he's doing alright and clearly has 'tactics'.

They didn’t beat the high press. As soon as we scored we reverted as per usual to a low block and let them dominate the game.

If like you said we are being pinned back he has to change it, he doesn’t. We are getting overrun in midfield and he changes Brobbey and Rigg for Mayenda and Isador. Does that make any sense at all to you?

He has Neil on the bench to shore up the midfield which was getting annihilated today second half. Instead he changed the whole forward line that wasn’t getting a kick. At Anfield he put 09 on before Neil. If he has no intention of playing him why is he even on the bench?

They literally beat the high press for the goal ffs.

The bench today was Patterson, Neil, Mundles, Mayenda, Isidor, Hjelde, J Jones, H Jones and Turierov. Not exactly loads of options to change the game and I very much doubt Dan Neil was going to change that for us. We did however get more in the game towards the last 20 minutes so maybe the changes did have some impact.

You think RLB was expecting to bring Tutierov on?
