Or maybe it was us that got it wrong. 3-0 down and we decide to come out and play. It was the same against Brentford and to a lesser degree, Barnsley. That's three time where we've put ourselves in very difficult positions due to the tactics. Harris has to realise that we struggle to defend and can't play on the break. I'm very happy with the point and really pleased for Glatzel. The goal scored by Tomlin could only be done by a select amount of players, total vision, a thing of pure beauty. As happy as i am though, we can't keep on going behind before we start pressing higher up the pitch and take small risks. Over to the manager.
Just got back (one of the benefits of living in Leeds). How he thought that having Flint and Morrison as a partnership, plus Ralls, Vaulks, Pack and Tomlin in midfield was a good idea, God only knows. When we started playing, or even attacked in the first half we created chances.
Fair play to him for engineering the comeback, and it was a special effort from the players. They've got the ability to be a handful but the first 60 minutes they played with the handbrake on. Some of the clearances went absolutely nowhere and it was aimless. We played with a real purpose when Tomlin scored and they had no answer. We rode our luck but you're going to need it 3-0 down, and I think it was an extremely soft pen (I could be wrong, I was 75 yards away!).
One of the great comebacks, a great result and something to build on but definitely lessons to be learnt. We also have to leave more men back for corners, we're so slow we can't stop breaks.
Watched the game on a stream and we were awful for the first hour or so, brilliant comeback but why start with Morrison and Flint when it's already been proved that they can't play together, why start with Ward? Stevie Wonder could see that he's an impact player at best
Nelson with Morrison at the back and we looked more solid, Whyte and Glatzel up front and we looked a real threat
If we play Morrison, Flint and Nelson together with two wing backs
Then fair enough but to keep trying things that have been proved not to work ???????
