Well, Well, Well

Cmon Fugsy, you know the drill by now. You can only mention last season if you’re praising Morison.

When someone can stop this being the worst city side for the last twenty years and get us competing towards the top end of the table again I'll heap praise on them in dml type doses!!!

Could be a while though

True, but I also mentioned the change of tactics, high press putting opposition under presssure, and not playing the ball out from the back every single time, resulting is less pressure for us, and conceding less goals, and us getting the ball in their box quicker from the quick long kicks with the opposition having less players in there to block and defend.

I think these simple changes have already made a significant change to the overall performance and is more enjoyable to watch.

our press has been pretty good all season, we've kept the opposition teams to very few shots all season.
happy to see us going for it a bit more at home if that continues, and not changing formation to nullify the opposition as much

2 games since we pulled the trigger on Pep Morison and already the lads are playing on the front foot and concentrating on our game rather than the oppositions.

Surprising what a bit confidence and belief in your own game can do for a player rather than worrying too much about the opposition.

Well done Mark Hudson 👏

When I first read your initial post ,(the rumour one) I thought you were just spinning one , however , following Tuesday’s game and what I was told , I’ll offer you an apology.


Let’s see how this plays out.

No need to apologise

Thought all of the talk about a more attacking outlook under Hudson was crap when I saw our line up and approach against Burnley, but it was definitely there on Tuesday. In a way, a horses for courses approach is the best one and Burnley’s possession stats are very impressive this season, so I should really have been more understanding of what we were doing against them.

It’ll be interesting to see what our approach is tomorrow.

What I hope to see tomorrow is more of the same from this week, I don't think we need to sit back and invite pressure on us with a hope of hitting them on the counter break.
Our away form and results have been pretty crap this season, I'd like to see Hudson take the initiative and go for the win with a high press.
In reality he has nothing to lose

[Hilts]

We looked far better pressing. Blackburn and Ayala in particular were really poor in possession at the back.

We pressed them into mistake after mistake. We are just not good enough in the final 3rd.

After the goal we stopped pressing and we looked vulnerable.

We are poor in the air in both boxes.

Our back 5 are suprisingly really comfortable playing out from the back.

Yeah, a bit more urgency, like in Tuesday. I do think that people need to take a step back a bit. It's obvious what Hudson is attempting to do so far, and that's to win the 2nd balls, play with more intensity, be quicker on the ball. Whether he can sustain that is another matter. We still didn't create much in the final third and we didn't defend well on the free kick that led to the penalty, but the goal was forced by us playing a high line and not letting them set themselves. Opportunities will come our way if we are prepared to play that way and take those risks.

Aside from the penalty, they barely had a sniff the other night. We are tantalisingly close to being a good side at this level. Just need to be a bit more confident in attack without losing the defensive solidity (and tightening up at free kicks at both ends of the pitch). Hopefully the attack should improve as the players get to know each other better, they will start to know where each others runs will be and be able to attack with more confidence.

Would like to see us bring in a set piece specialist as well

They had arguably the best 2 chances. The one Allsop saved with his trailing leg and the one Dack mis controlled.

They also had a stonewall penalty turned down when Kipre cleaned out Gallagher and maybe another when Ng tripped the same player.

We need to start scoring. We were by far the better side but we could easily have thrown the game away

Steady on old bean.

I’m just glad to have my club back. I couldn’t get behind Morison. Horrid man.

[Vindec]

Yep. Who'd have thunk it.
