What went wrong for the team yesterday evening?

 

Morning all....... I do wonder whether we had a honeymoon last season.... and now the harsh reality of an English game is defeating both the tactics of our new manager, I think we fall back to much to easily.... and have lost both our recent games from great positions by doing that, ....and our failure to have a fast striker and goal poacher a la Vydra.....

 

Is it not normal in Italy to get a couple of goals if you can, then defend your lead? Seems as if we try to do that forgetting that we are not very good at defending.

 

Yes it is Frenchie... and in both results recently we lost after doing this, taking off attackers and brining on defenders. we also squandered ad 2-0 lead at leeds....

We cant defend by playing this way....

 

I would have thought than when you see Henderson coming on second half, someone like Fitz Hall would have been the right choice to strengthen the defence if you feel that is needed. Maybe the lack of knowledge about players in the Championship doesn't help. Having said that unless you can find a player on your side who is only 10 metres away, you will be under constant pressure.

 

Ditto.....

and when Doris came on I was worried... and he scored the typical centre forward in a lower league against oppo who cant jump goal.... it was dire....

we all knew what he could do and you could see it coming.... shame our defenders didn't

 

The parallels to Aidy's first full season and the aftermath seem overwhelming at the moment. Aidy had the luck to combine a blossoming Young, King desperate for a second chance and Henderson up front with Mahon prompting - it didn't matter if we conceded goals, because we always had blistering pace and scored more at the other end.

Last year Zola had the good fortune to have Vydra, Abdi, Chalobah and Hogg combining up front, not to mention Deeney.

Neither manager managed to deal with change - Aidy lost Young and (effectively) King very quickly. Zola had the above 4 ripped away.

Was Zola lucky (as time has proved with Aidy)? Again only time will tell.

 

Afternoon all

The weather here is as grim as yesterday's result...chucking it down and already turning some of the lanes into streams. I think we've all been saying there's no leader out on the pitch and the mindset when we retreat into defence looks panic-stricken the moment we resort to such tactics. Not sure whether we should send for a few army veterans or a psychologist...

 

Dirty Leeds continue to slit their wrists - another manager gone!

 

welcome back w_y ... not good times at the Vic.....

 

OK you lovely people, I'm off to bed!

Signed Arsenal striker Park on loan....bit of an improvement on the donkey from QPHa.
