That might be so if we weren't so prone to making awful sloppy passes. Better the ball is 40 metres up the pitch than turning it over inside and around the box.

Difficult one, hoof it back to them or pass it back to them! Nice safe passing please.

Too much negativity on this thread. We're still in the game.
 


Well done Matty

Bong is so poor at this level. Simple passes straight out of play are ridiculous in the Championship but totally unacceptable in the Premier League. Strange decision to give him a pity start.

The thing is we didn't get out of the Championship with tippy tappy Gus passing. Fast attacking and counters are the team's strength. Trying to recreate a passing team in a higher league is a bloody tough ask - better to just go for the 10 wins with what you do best

Exactly, only the top sides of 'said' league can get away with it. Once you go up a league I think you need to adapt.

Yeah, you'd think we were playing Rochdale, the expectations are crazy, the fact that we are still in the game is a bonus imo.
 




























Bong attacked really well there - we've got some hope as long as they don't score next
