The Quick Brown Fox Posted 13 February 2022 Share Posted 13 February 2022 1 minute ago, Pliskin said: Done with the bloke. Absolutely ridiculous decision to not take the game to them today, how many times have we sat in and still lost the ****ing game. We had them on the ropes in that second half. If he’s going to turn this around, he will need to abandon his current tactical ideas general stubbornness, he has to go back to basics and stop trying to ‘tactically’ work his way out of games. West Ham’s approach was fairly basic, and in the end they got something because we let them. I genuinely don’t think Brendan is capable of turning this around, mainly due to his arrogance. I thought the same, Daka was isolated and lost, we needed to either get him into the game or change him, personally I'd have changed him as he didn't offer much. Another mistake by BR.

He’s always looking to protect his reputation and deflect blame. Same goes with his comments about Vestergaard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the fans know more about motivating players that BR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always plays to our weakness at the later stages of the game. Yep, that's 3 home games in a row when, from winning positions, he has replaced a more offensive player with a defensive one late in the game to hand the initiative to the opposition. 7 points gone there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_77 Posted 13 February 2022 Share Posted 13 February 2022 I’m having a lot of trouble believing a manager who suffered a career-ending injury as a young player could be this careless with his own players’ health and careers. I really hope JJ didn’t suffer another serious setback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue ROI Posted 13 February 2022 Share Posted 13 February 2022 It would have been a sickner to concede a goal if we didn't make a change but Vestergaard was the last thing we needed. It was like a 'what happened next' moment on They Think It's all Over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obvious thing is to keep playing to your strengths and not go defensive when every time you do you throw away the match. Keep the ball forward, waste time at their corner flag, time waste in the opposition half, but don’t bring on Vestergaard and say ‘lads it’s ok, Jannick will head everything clear’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickyblueeyes Posted 13 February 2022 Share Posted 13 February 2022 I thought there far more positive from this game then recent months. However, I have to look first at his questionable decisions as to why we’ve drawn game with 4/5 minutes left in a half we had controlled. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixtiesFox Posted 13 February 2022 Share Posted 13 February 2022 Another game thrown away at the death. Winning 2 - 1 with 6 minutes to go he brings on Vestergaard (yes, old Mr. Dependable) to shore up a previously untroubled defence. A minute later we concede from a corner and another 2 points get flushed down the toilet. That's 7 points squandered late on from winning positions in our last 3 home games. Bodgers (not a typo) does it again. Time and time again he goes ultra-defensive to protect a lead with a team that cannot defend. Utter madness! The very definition of insanity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel BR payout is massive, Top doesn't want to spend that money. It's a years wages or so, and it doesn't reduce the longer he's here so he's going to have to pay it as he's not rebuilding this club. It will cost Top and the club a damn sight more by letting him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely part must be down to confidence (in defence) but Brendan must be able to do more in these closing moments? Our set piece defending is like a nervous tick.

Popular Post LVFox Posted 13 February 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 13 February 2022 A season or two ago he was tactically excellent but he’s an absolute joke at the moment. In the past he would of bought kelechi on and got us further up the pitch, but he’s so defensive now. He gets terrified whenever we are 1 up and just hopes to hang on. Unfortunately I don’t think the club can afford to get rid, so he’s going to have the summer. Probably the most important summer in years too, a large turnover of players and if I was Top I wouldn’t give him and Congerton a penny over what we bring in for players. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our set piece defending is like a nervous tick. I did find his substitutions were strange again. When you’re ahead, playing with one striker (whose in the Daka/Vardy mold), holding up the ball is difficult but very important. I thought Madders did that so well second half. He carried it and held it. When he took him off for Lookman and not Kelechi (hindsight is a wonderful thing) I did think at the time it was wrong. I think that invited pressure when we were dominating. The Vestegaard sub was typical Brendan and safety first. I don’t think West Ham we’re that good today that we had to be cautious. I think if we played our game as we were, we would’ve seen it through. The two goals as usual were down to poor coaching/player intelligence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
