So to adopt the same formation is very naive. in hindsight yes. But Wigan are defensively well drilled. Even through we had 3 good heading chances in the game that was it. dissappointing but we should have change it sooner formation and gone 2 up front. 1 hour ago, arbitro said: That's my point. Play against a team one way at home, win and play well, play the same way away, lose and play badly. Tactics and systems sometimes have to change depending on who we play and how they play. That is down to Mowbray and his coaches. Yes to a point but nothing wrong with us starting the same way as against Bristol but Mowbray had to be quickly to change it then he was. the 1st 15 mins of the second half we dominated the possession and tempo but did not created anything apart from Gallagher's header which is disappointing.

But it wasn’t hindsight. Most foresighted predictions were for Wigan to press and Harry us. With our best option being pace against their defence . So for whatever reason, we start with our physically strongest , fastest, players on the bench. Edited June 28, 2020 by rigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipl Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Mowbray out thought Lee Johnson twice- excellent but not on his own in that. Conversely Paul Cook owns Mowbray. Incidentally our response to facing a team which hadn't conceded in six games? Why of Course Mowbray left our leading scorer on the bench. A bit obvious to play Arma in place of Gallagher but too obvious for Mowbray so we lost instead of winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom DE. Posted June 29, 2020 Backroom Share Posted June 29, 2020 Under Mowbray we've always been far more effective when being direct and using Graham/Dack as a focal point, so I can't say that article fills me with optimism. Not much good having 70% possession if you never score. I don't fundamentally disagree with what Mowbray is saying, I just don't believe he's the man to implement such a sweeping change in style. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHRover Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I dont know whether to laugh or cry with Mowbray's comments. Our route to promotion is unlikely to succeed if we are trying to copy the top 4 for style. Leeds and West Brom have appointed world class managers and have spent millions on players to go with it. Fulham have a ridiculous squad and have spent fortunes on the best players around. We can't copy Brentford because their operation is on another level to the rest of the Championship. We are incapable of replicating that, but if Mowbray wants to try then the first job is for him and Venus to resign so the club can appoint a head coach and director of football. We need to be trying to copy Burnley, Cardiff, Brighton and Hull. Limited sides that got promoted through organisational ability, good management, a set way of playing and minimal disruption to it. Mowbray thinks he is better than he is. I'd just like him to put a side out that can defend and is hard to beat. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much good having 70% possession if you never score. I don't fundamentally disagree with what Mowbray is saying, I just don't believe he's the man to implement such a sweeping change in style. I do think that he has signed some players in Holtby, Downing, Adarabioyo etc who can enable us to become a more technical side and I do think there is probably some logic in trying to become a side that is able to control games better, especially with Graham coming to the end and I suspect a very difficult player to replicate in terms of doing what he is good at. My issue is that the transition is done without any real clarity, consistency or conviction. The squad is built lacks any real balance. Mowbray has flirted with a couple of alternative formations but they dont suit the current squad and he would need more patience anyway. 3 at the back has a few times been trialled, not really worked and been instantly ditched. The false 9 experiment has an element of logic and even on Saturday our technical players often interchanged nicely but it offers no goal threat with Holtby and when fit Dack not suited to playing with their back to goal. We need to have a number 10 in our formation to play Dack/Holtby in their best position. We have absolutely no players who have shown any competence out wide, and playing wide forwards especially Gallagher ensure that you have no subtlety with those players. Our full backs (Nyambe lacks end product although can be a big threat) dont offer much threat overlapping either which means everything must come centrally. There are also strange exceptions in his transfer policy which suggest that there is an element of confusion in his mind. Sam Gallagher is as technically lacking as any forward you will find in the league. Bradley Johnson is a midfielder who gives you hustle and bustle and a real goal threat (when hes in shape that is) but again technical ability is not his strong suit and at least once a game gets caught on the ball near his own net. Why make 2 of your main signings in a summer in which you publically declared a desire to move to a more controlled style of football players who are not suited to playing that style? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom DE. Posted June 29, 2020 Backroom Share Posted June 29, 2020 Also a problem that Downing is 36 and Tosin is a loan! Holtby is ours but can't play much more than 60 mins when he is fit... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on JH, we don’t even know what league we are going to be in! I know Forest, Fulham, Brentford, Leeds, Derby, Bristol City, Swansea and Millwall top end. Barnsley, Charlton, Huddersfield, Middlesbrough, Stoke, Hull and Luton bottom end all have them on sale and our club is very worried about lack of cash flow currently, but it would be a daft idea to follow the lead of these clubs, wouldn’t it Chaddy?

Blue blood Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 The top 4 don't have players playing out of position where they are clearly uncomfortable. We might be at a disadvantage financially but that one's got nothing to do with money yet holds us back a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
