Ross - Defense is better than last year

[andysafc24]

In The Journal this morning...
says he set a target of 20 clean sheets at the start of the season.

We have good players here and i think the reward will come in that sense if we keep believing in what we do.
We are not giving up a huge amount of opportunities per game as seen on Tuesday where Jon McLoughlin didn't have a huge amount to do against a good team.
From what i have seen on the training ground and in matches we will get those rewards sooner rather than later

 

[CARLOS CLASS]

So let’s concentrate more on defending.

No words

 

[Bears Beets]

He’s absolutely deluded

 

[CraigyLee]

IS IT FUCK

 

[TradingPlaces]

Bloke is fast becoming a parody figure.

 

[TravellingMackem]

He really is deluded. The statistics suggest otherwise. He needs to go - imagine thinking you can get 20 clean sheets when you keep 0 in the first however many games we’ve played

 

[Mackem00]

I think it probably is tbf. Happily selling Reece James was bizarre mind.

Score more goals = win more games. Its very simple.

Ross setting us up to defend will see us under pressure more which will result in frustrating draws and losses.

Defence

 

[jackynutmeg]

Ross can fuck off.

 

[Herberthall]

Trained well this week ya nar

 

[steve30000]

Defence is the best form of attack then?

 

[Toothless]

Is it fuck

 

[Jack Blue]

Central defence is miles better.

Full backs are miles worse.

Imho

 

[chuckyroll]

Just waiting for the resident soothsayers telling us 'well what do you want him to say' bullshit

 

[Astute]

How bad was the defence last year?

 

[andysafc24]

The defence may be better than last season, but his tactics are not. To stick with the 5 man defence in pre-season even though it was not working than scrape it within a few games seemed bazaar. He should have found that out in pre-season itself. Then sitting back once they are in front only invites the opposition onto themselves. We saw that against Accrington in the second half but got away with it because they are a poor team. Big wins bring confidence in your own team, narrow advantage makes them nervous and gives the opposition hope.

 

[Hongkongphooey]

It’s the beginning of the end for Jack, making stuff up and having a pop at the fans.

 

[cluffy]

1-1s are more 1-1ey than last season aye cheers

 

[chuckyroll]

We have played 3 half decent sides so far and been 2nd best in all 3 games only gaining a point. When we play the poorer sides we still cede possession with his negative tactics but have a little bit more quality that has seen us pick up the points. It won't carry on for me
