tmesis Elm Park Kid The BBC Berks aren't happy.
Does seem like we got this one tactically wrong today - not sure they were much better than us. Struggling to get too angry though; wasn't expecting the manager change to stop us being shite overnight. The mentality seems to have improved on the pitch - we're not complete pushovers anymore. Think we'll do enough to stay ahead of the shambles that is the bottom three.
Obviously I'm hoping that they find a decent permanent manager asap. But i'm not expecting miracles.
I don't think it was tactics that let us down. We did dominate the second half, after all. We just made so many individual mistakes - poor passes, heavy touches in good positions etc.
Their goal would be a good example. We have a corner - it's poor one, cleared by the first man. They break away, and a brilliant tackle stops the attack, only for a dreadful pass to give it straight back to them. The resulting shot goes out for a corner, then they score from an unmarked header at the back post.
Yeah agreed in the main. Too many attacking players off their game. Other than the set piece (another pathetically soft goal) we defended well and the shape was better
Just huffed and puffed going forward without ever really looking like scoring
Lack of subs was terrible management. It was crying out for Ovie and Meite about the hour mark. Ovie did some good stuff in his few minutes and Meite didn’t even touch the bloody thing. Pretty annoyed about that
Anyway summarised by another bang average team turn up, get gifted a soft goal(s) and then we don’t have the quality to get back in the game. Every single bloody game almost
