Look at that 4th goal ffs. What sort of f***ing defending is that? Are we saying that’s what the players are told to do?! Is that down to formations?! Is it fuck.

It’s absolutely astonishing how reluctant some people are to hold players accountable for not being able to the basics of their job properly.

Having seen this, are we saying that Johnson should be sacked, but Dan Neil is still some sort of wonder kid that we shouldn’t accept £6m for?!

f***ing REALLY?!
He brought them to the club man
 
Whatever the clever thing he thinks he’s implemented in our play, it’s funny how so called lesser coaches have sussed it, negate it and absolutely thump us on their own turf.
Hit the nail on the head. Its easy to suss out. Look at how Appleton does it every time. Like taking candy from a baby.
 
I'm your average happy clapper on this board, but this is a genuine embarrassment. Can't string 3 passes together and currently now have 2 defenders on the pitch, after starting with 3. LJ keeps setting us up with little to no defensive cover and every time we give the ball away, there is always about 10 yards of space between the CBs and the CMs for anyone and their dog to turn around and take on our back 4. Then on top of that our back 4 back off, get turned too easily and we get overawed.

It's basic coaching 101 that when you don't have the ball, you compact the defence and midfield but these players seem to not be able to do that, or are told not to every fecking week.

We still could go up but I highly doubt it unless we get lucky in the playoffs.
Seams like they don't know when to press it to fall .. like you say basic stuff. When close to the prevents area so the ball watching... And when attacking don't just hit it and run and take stupid shots
