Go For Broke Please Bob

Mendonca In Asdas

Just hoping Big Bob didn't get any more cautious pants as Christmas presents this year, c'mon Bob lets show a bit more attacking threat , rather than sitting back and letting teams attack us all the time , lets put the other team under pressure for a change , as we did in the last 25 minutes against Cardiff.

Football is supposedly an entertainment industry , lets cut the draws & tippy tappy football around the back 4 out and get some more points on the board!

COYR!!

This division is so open if we go on a little run and turn these 1 points into 3 then there's a play off place with our name on it

At the start of the season, we were attacking, wanting to wins games, then the monkey of not being beaten came on our back and focus changed to not getting beat. The second half performance on Boxing Day showed we have the making of a very good team if allowed to play the way they can.

Bob has raised expectations a bit with the Cardiff performance. I don't think we're likely to see that again. It came under special circumstances; we had ten men and were losing 1-0. We had nothing to lose.

I also don't think any other championship team would sit back quite like Cardiff did. They put our midfield men under no pressure whatsoever

On Boxing day we saw polar opposite performances from the team in the 2 halfs.

Could this be because Bob is insecure as he only has a one year contract ?
hence do not lose, as against going for the win and take a few risks.

He missed a golden chance to win over the crowd by being too passive against Millwall and Blackpool.
Two defences who would have crumbled if we had attacked with the spirit of the second half against Cardiff.

Most of us do seem to be singing from the same hymn sheet for a change.

Wishful thinking - really cannot see Bob telling them to go out all guns blazing, especially away to Ipswich.

No, not in an away game against a top team, but counter attack with pace and purpose
and try to take the few chances that we create.

He went for broke and now it is..........

Sorry I forgot to add it was a strategy for home wins, away from home ... Park the bus.

We didn't have much choice with all those corners but left a couple of windows open on the top deck. :-(

Yes I agree. Be more attacking at home & park the bus and frustrate away from home, unless it's a relegation team & we should be a bit more positive.

No point in parking the bus if you continually fail to mark up for corners and leave players free on the edge of the box to fire it back in, as we did for their second goal.
