We should let the opposition have unopposed possesion? That's never going to happen thankfully.

Seen an interview with Troy Deeney recently saying lots of out of contract players get offers won't drop down the league or take pay cuts. That itself points to questionable attitude.

As I've just said in another post, we currently don't have the players to press in packs, last year and the year before we were doing it with Callum, Godden, Vik, Hamer etc ,it was very effective. We currently don't have the players to affect that sort of press so it's down to the strikers.

It will be a different story when everyone's fit, especially O'Hare but for now the burden is with the strikers. It needs to be done, you can't let the opposition just have possesion but we can't press higher up the pitch in packs with the players we currently have available.

Yeah, I was thinking short term contracts, I get Martin your point about getting up to speed but when you're as desperate as we are....... Hopefully we have bodies back after the break.

Well that's that then.

That's exactly what pressing is, it's often a fruitless task. But he's doing exactly what Robins wants him to do.

We've only got 3 fit midfielders! I don't think short term loans is a bad call although we may have a few bodies back post international break.

Consistently pressing aggressively from the front.

He's a long way from what Robins would want, I think it's just a learning curve, as someone else said, they've watched videos of him playing in Turkey and it wasn't expected of him there.

Wright won't get anywhere near the starting line up until he starts doing it, (injuries aside). Hopefully he cottons on to what's required sooner rather than later.

That's no way to talk about Streeting and Reeves

Welcome to the club fido

Spot on about Wright's pressing, he's just not aggressive enough. No way you could currently play him up top on his own as some are advocating. I think it will be a different story in a few months, I think the raw materials are there to work with and Robins and Adi will improve him.

Where were you sat, (or have you seen a replay)? I'm in 25 and had a good view and was convinced it was a foul but there are moles with cataracts with better eye sight than me.

I agree it was a good goal, right place, right time and good finish, your 2nd paragraph is wrong though, that was poor from Wright. He either needed to head to the corner or put the afterburners on and go for goal, in the end he did neither and ended up with a very weak attempt on goal. He's...

You're not recognising his contribution which Fatso hilighted though I agree about goals if Goddden hits a barren spell he should be dropped, that's how it should work. He's not there yet though.

We were lucky to get to half time without conceding once he went off

Still looks to me like he should have gone to L1 for a season first. But he'll be starting Saturday for sure so a chance to shine.

If we'd hung on against Huddersfield we'd be above them, I'm hopeful we shithouse our way to 3 points!
