Harpenden Fox Posted 29 November 2023 Share Posted 29 November 2023 We seem to have lacked self belief for the last month, which is strange given our position in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are allowing teams to come on to us and sort their shape out and absorb our space.. literally no reward in the system ATM.. we are dropping points and the points we are getting we are limping towards Tippy tappy football. It cannot get any more boring than this style of play. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whys it always me Posted 29 November 2023 Share Posted 29 November 2023 (edited) It amazes me that people try to defend this. This has to be one of the poorest championships in a very long time and we’ve only looked convincing in a couple of games at best despite the talent we have in our squad. enzoball is boring and in my opinion worse than what Rodger’s and Puel dished up as we are playing against much poorer teams. I remember getting hammered after the first pre season game when I said that we looked horrific and didn’t offer much, to be fair that’s been the case in most games this season too. Yes the wins are great and let’s not take that away from enzo but with the squad we have I’d expect any manager to match this. if we continue to play as poorly as we are we will get caught and I’m not sure enzo has the tactics nouse to change things and panic will set in.

EnglishOxide Posted 29 November 2023 Share Posted 29 November 2023 Where was Dennis Praet tonight? Surely he's a much better option than Casedei and Akgun in midfield. Much more proven quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzzy_no7 Posted 29 November 2023 Share Posted 29 November 2023 3 shots on target and only a couple of half chances against arguably the worst side this division has seen in a decade. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountesthorpeFox1 Posted 29 November 2023 Share Posted 29 November 2023 I want to take a bit of reflection and not moan considering we are still on course to beat the league record. we were always going to have a rough patch and honestly think WBA will probably turn us over on Saturday as it’s a good time to play us. The football is boring to be honest (even when winning) but points show it’s effective. It’s more frustrating as a fan when you saw after we conceded and we went at them for the last minute we created a clear cut chance. I honestly believe playing like this we will go up, but i think Enzo learns when to play like that and when to go direct we will come rock bottom if we do. Again, not moaning about Enzo. He’s a young manager and probably can see this also but knows this will be enough in this league (well i hope so anyway) and he’s not just one dimensional because that’s how it feels a little bit watching us (even if we are winning) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players need to find some form, and we need to find some new ways to score goals. Probably we'll revive, these wobbles happen, but that was pretty concerning stuff from which nobody came out with any credit. ...we get pressed and can't handle it, all teams are going to pressure our backline because we have a few mistakes in us every game!!! Couple that with being poor in the final third and they (the opposition) are gambling that it is worth the risk to press us, than the likelihood of us scoring. Taking off Akgun seemed a bad decision at the time, he has the football brain to get through teams such as these and with KDH coming on with his drive, we would have been much better going forward. Mavididi and Fatawu are just not clever enough, you just know that there is little improvement that will be forthcoming. Has McAteer had his instincts coached out of him?

James_lcfc Posted 29 November 2023 Share Posted 29 November 2023 Horrible seeing Vardy being put through in absolute classic fashion, only to not have the turn of speed to stay in front of the defender. Just heartbreaking to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustrating because Wednesday were woeful and lacked belief, but they got their late hoof into the box and got their luck. West Brom will toy with us if we play like that. Enzo ball is great when it works, but tonight it was a tough watch. Spot on. Far to complacent. Unfortunately we got what we deserved. You could see it coming a mile off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Vardy Posted 29 November 2023 Share Posted 29 November 2023 If KDH and N’didi start we win tonight. Tonights potential 3 points are the same value as Saturdays 3 points Vardy playing 90 suggests he will be on the bench Saturday When will Cannon get on the pitch We did keep the ball well second half, up until the last few minutes Great store been placed in untried players….Akgun, Fatawu, Mavadidi, Cadasei Hamza added nothing when he came on Lost count the number of goalkeeper passes that put our defenders in trouble, and we kept doing it…. Once again Vesty our best player…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
