I've just read PL's post match stuff about knowing that we were going to come under aerial bombardment from Rotherham last night.
A good tactic here would've been to NOT lump the ball straight up to their centre backs when in possession at the back and with time on the ball.
I'm looking at you here, Wilson. |  |

I do quite enjoy PL's admission that despite knowing how Rotherham would play we didn't bother having a game plan to counter it. Top work, Paul. |  |

Wilson is a no nonsense defender whose selection has allowed the Wolf and Chambers to join are attacking play recently. But he is a limited footballer and his distribution is poor.
That said, Chambers was guilty if hoofing it a few tines last night and other than one run from Downes, our midfield kept turning back on themselves and passing the ball back for our defenders to hoof under pressure rather than looking to make a defence spitting pass. |  |

On last nights showing, Wilson is actually a tricky winger with a half decent cross! |  | | |

There was no bravery shown in possession, we only tried to beat the press 2 or 3 times in the game and caused them problems with that - Keane broke and got Crooks booked, Downes similar and played in Jackson.
It was crying out for Bishop because Judge was so negative with possession and so loose with it if trying to go forwards.
For Lambert to claim going long wasn't the game plan is clearly a lie, it was obvious from quite literally the first minute - the first 10 minutes were utter dross from both teams, we didn't improve whereas they did |  |

It's been a long standing problem for us. Our inability to move the ball quickly - especially against teams that close us down.
The last three matches illustrate this - the two home games we were afforded time and space, yesterday we weren't and we couldn't cope. |  |

The players who you need to show composure and intelligence in these situations are the ones to blame 👀 judge and huws.
Judge was infuriating with his panicky rushed play every time he managed to get hold if the ball. Brainless. |  |

Rotherham pressed high and swarmed us in the middle giving us no time to play hence lumping it. I can’t believe with the quality we have and the foresight after the defeat at PR that we A - resorted to that and B - capitulated in that manner epitomised by Wolfenden’s 10 yard pass that went out for a throw.
Players have off games but I’ve never seen an entire side have one (Downes and Norwood excluded) especially not in a game of such magnitude. Woeful. |  |

I very much doubt it is a 'lie'. Because if it was the gameplan it would have been easy enough to change it. But when you have so many players suddenly having a shocker all at once and panicking in possession, that is what you get.
Agree re Bishop though. It would have changed the dynamic and seemed the obvious change to make, specially after the passages of play that you mention. |  |

Chambo and Woolfie were by far the worst offenders I thought, and then Wilson must have thought 'stuff this, I may as well join them'.
It was a most bizarre approach; I suppose the logic was that with Rotherham pushing up to press, there would have been space behind for direct balls. That only works if you're able to pick those long passes and if there's someone on the end of them who can find space and hold on to the ball. None of that happened. Not mixing it up was also a very strange choice. |  |

....which means one of two things:
1. Our manager is a liar
2. Our players randomly and totally independently decided to change their entire style of play for this match.
I wonder? |  |
