Credit to Leicester - if only we'd had a go like them...

And heavily.
With an already crap goal difference.
We do not have the defence or the midfield muscle to prevent a team with players of the jones and barnes ability killing us on the counter. By all means keep it tight with presure and closing down when BFc dont have posetion but going at them like leicester did? If they could hit a barn door derby would have won comfortably.

 

RE: aye but

I'm talking about getting at them though mate, not playing in a gung ho fashion.

Ala Stoke and Hull games where we didn't give them a moment's peace.

 

Well... I was referring to the high tempo and closing down, not throwing people forward willy nilly.

I know we're not the best side around, far from it, but Hull and Stoke games are the sort of tactics I mean.

 

The stoke game

is a good example though we played an unconventional formation which was quite defensive. The team work ethic was unquestionable. Pressing and high tempo can work but sometimes teams do have that bit of quality that can render such tactics counter productive. It's a gamble that can work and I am coming round to the thinking that just maybe it could just work on 4 of the teams we are yet to face.

 

Stoke was a poor game from both sides.
Hull was the best BFc have played for years albeit against a very predictable team who didnt turn up.

 

had a bad night then misery???? nt

 

WHAT you mean that Richie`s Tactics were good enough ????? nt

 

impose ourselves on the game,we did not get in the championship by not creating chances ,tactically positive not negative and not get caught out by the counter attack! Arte we Championship or just playing at it.
Ipswich are not that far away on points from us so must they have lost a few games - we could get a win down Suffolk then.

 

Although I've heard...

...from a bloke int'pub
ahem...
Davey has told the players to go for it from now until to the end of the season.
Obviously Simple Simon has realised that playing his defensive ***** is not working.
NO **** SIME!
