The Lion V The Owls Match thread

Obafemi not in the squad because he turns up late for training?

What a great fucking signing.
No he's still recovering.
 
When JE came in he did at least get us playing some decent stuff for a period of the game. Yesterday was... well not sure... hoofing diagonal balls towards Bradshaw (didn't work, never does) launching balls into the channels but we didn't have anyone that far forward. It was almost laughable, at one point we couldn't get the ball out of our half on the ground, they seemed to realise how bad we were and started pressing us. Their crowd giving the "ole" on every pass, really gets my back up.

Overheard a group of Germans discussing the game with someone, they asked why our forwards are all so short? It's a fair question, if we did actually get to the byline and put a decent cross in, who is going to get on the end of it. Our opponents had the right idea by flashing the ball into our box low and hard and got two goals.

The change of play has nearly gone full circle back to a sh#t version of how GR got us playing. Inexperience of JE is showing now.

Anyone else watch Southampton play WBA on Friday? WBA played a rigid 442 system much like the way we played under Harris, they lost.
Definitely would like a bit of presence in our forward line , but they didn't need any giants to score yesterday. Even if you do play 442,which I think suits us better , re WBA it don't guarantee you fuck all.
