Allowing a spare

Post: # 2014870Post B.M »

I’m sick of watching a HB control games against us

Fk me

In almost every game a defender has been the opposition best player against us!!!

Vlaustin killed us in the second and third!!!

Game plan seriously flawed until we fix that, fix stoppage set up and adjust when teams run through our zone.

Cordy would have stopped Vlaustin.

Caminiti a liability in these conditions.

Says more about our midfield that we need an extra around the ball just to have a chance at winning a stoppage,and even then our players aren't smart enough to know that you just can't bomb it to an outnumbered fwd line.

Cordy???

Are you joking?!

We even numbers up halfway through the third, surprise surprise it works

Can’t be efficient going forward in a 6v5 and opposing teams just get their best player spare
Daicos, Zeiball, Sicily, Vlaustin

We're too focused on stopping their midfielders instead of just taking them on

Need guys who have a ball hunting mentality.

Missing Clark and missing the Jack Steele of early 2022

Started with an attacking mind set and then as FoxFooty pointed out, we played to stop them too often instead of playing to score ourselves

As Lyon said in his presser and Butler after post game review
They had a plan for stoppages and it wasn’t executed properly
They knew what Richmond would to when releasing from stoppage etc and the PLAYERS went away from execution of that plan
Oh and won only 32% clearances….our so called “experienced” BnF winning mids got pantsed
With exception of Crouch and Windhager
Players also admitting they were too slow to adjust to rain
Coaches should’ve run on field and played for them perhaps 🤔


“Yeah….nah””
