c1982 Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Well, at least it’s still 0-0! I hope we’ve adopted the Wolves tactic (which has worked so well over the previous 2 seasons) where we contain and conserve energy in the 1st and then pile it on in the 2nd. Clutching at straws but it would kind of make sense with us shooting towards our fans in the 2nd half... dunlopp9987, Matt, MikeO and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 We deserved to be out of it early on but we have hung in there and matched them. It was all a bit huff and puff but we at least had some of the ball. Its got a feel of a sucker punch 1 nil win, but if that's the case we will need to start the second half a hell of a lot better than we did in the first.

Just now, Gwlad all over said: Risky though, if we lost Carlo would be pilloried. Not really, has saved a third of all penalties he's faced during his career, which is a very good statistic when you consider how much the odds are stacked towards the striker. He would also be a decent penalty taker - Google his penalty against Switzerland, it's sublime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Not sure fatigue is blame for that start given how we warmed up to the game. All I can say is the recent work on defensive shape is evident, out CB over covering each other excellently. Fullbacks could be tighter when the ball comes to their wingers feet. Mina probably our best so far. Still pissed me off that he went off the field during a defensive corner. Gomes showing his composure at times and will be key to us playing through their press. Early goal for us would be crushing for United. Fast start second half needed dunlopp9987 and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Midfield is where we need to pick up. Gomes can not keep getting himself marked out of receiving passes, it's unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 I think the key for us this half is reducing the space between the lines. Either we sit deeper or push up but we can't give them the space we did in the first. dunlopp9987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
