Tielemans63 Posted 5 March Share Posted 5 March (edited) Why wait for opportunities to come when you can force the issue against weak opposition? I understand the need for patience if we're playing a superior side, but we're playing a poor side, low on confidence - there's no need to be this cautious. Ps the commentators on SAFC TV are absolutely bemused by our approach since the goal. They can't get over it.

jayfox26 Posted 5 March Share Posted 5 March The win is the most important thing here but I feel we're going to need to improve 2nd half if we are going to get it. Started well but we've been poor since we scored and allowed Sunderland back into the game. Little control and sloppy in possession. Mads needs to sort his kicking out, 3 times in that half he just kicked it out for a throw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't just go ahead then play within yourself, do that when you are 2 or 3 up. Surely we have done that at least 6-10 times this season, hopefully the presence of Vardy and Coady can keep us driving forwards. I do think the 2nd half of ET against Bournemouth was well managed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had other opportunities stopped by some misplaced final balls or the ref stopping attacks with questionable fouls. Sunderland also dropped off their press after our goal? So there’s less space for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the Sheff Weds away game where it was the same scoreline and we spurned loads of chances and conceded last minute. Have to kill these teams off. We cant we just carry on attacking like its 0-0 ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever Fox Posted 5 March Share Posted 5 March We're playing too far apart. Up the tempo get closer and pass better finish them off before they get any notions of beating us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted 5 March Share Posted 5 March Should be more than 1-0 up against a team clearly devoid of confidence, as I am in anything Mavididi is going to come up with on the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmono84 Posted 5 March Share Posted 5 March Sunderland are really poor but we’ve let them back into the game by switching off and ref having a shocker. It’s on us tho, we’ve been going direct all of a sudden but kicking the ball out to much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fazzyfox Posted 5 March Share Posted 5 March As a qualified lip reader I can reveal that Vardy was asking the ref about “your rucking cap” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 5 March Share Posted 5 March Started off like a steam train and looked like we could blow them off the park. Get a goal and go back to sleep again. Why? It’s beyond stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SixtiesFox Posted 5 March Share Posted 5 March Worrying signs. Game should be over but we are allowing them to stay in the game. We all know what might happen and against a team that clearly has no confidence whatsoever. Had we kept the pressure on they would have folded and the crowd would have turned.

iancognito Posted 5 March Share Posted 5 March So much negativity on here, we're one up at half time. It's the Championship. It's always a long old slog. Two games a week, tired legs, injuries. I think some people have forgotten what it's like and got sucked into the piss the league talk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy_Jeff Posted 5 March Share Posted 5 March Ref has been poor but more worried about the fact we seem to have thought the games over as soon as we score. We can play through them, need to up the pace and put them under pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammo Posted 5 March Share Posted 5 March We are so cocky and complacent. Knocking it around the back - or directly into touch - when a bit of sustained pressure on their dodgy defence - as in the first 15 minutes - would probably get the second goal and kill them off. Is this down to Maresca’s natural Italian caution? It is so frustrating because these are there for the taking but you can see a mistake from us gifting them an equaliser. A la Ipswich (x2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southfox66 Posted 5 March Share Posted 5 March Why do we mess about so much at the back, we're only one nil up, when we move fast forward we look decent, then just slow it down again, its starting to get irritating this style of play to be honest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
