Style of play and quality of teams 07:47 - Oct 20 with 997 views | ITFCed | In the season so far, it appears that Cook has clearly had a solid Plan A. The majority of goals have come from the full backs and wingers getting crosses in to our attacking players. The way we are set up is like a solid championship team which is why this season I think we may struggle against the smaller clubs at the bottom who play more direct football and will try to bully us. Two games which come to mind are the Cheltenham game where they used the monster long throw and also the collapse against Cambridge too when we invited long balls into us. On the other hand, the teams at the top will look to play football for the majority of the game. This is where I believe we will shine as we have better footballers than the teams right at the top. As we have now been playing this style for 3 months now, I believe that we will start to see Town dominating the next few games against the top teams. | |

Wycombe is the one that concerns me the most purely because of their antiquated approach, which seems to be our Achilles heel. | |

We've yet to beat a side in the top half. Your theory is an interesting one and we'll find out over the coming games how much merit it has but the evidence currently doesn't support it.

They aren't as bad as they used to be the style has evolved somewhat. They will still be direct at times but they do try and play some football now, they've won 7 home games in a row, it will be a real stern test, we are going to have to work our socks off in that game as they will at a minimum. | | | |

They are worse! The ball was in play for 35 minutes last night against Rotherham, the lowest in an EFL game for 18 months | |

Have you changed your tune, Joe? I seem to recall it was 'Cook has until the end of October' and then 'the end of November'. Or something like that (apologies if I'm misquoting). That was some win last night | | | |
Style of play and quality of teams on 08:39 - Oct 20 with 755 views | wkj | I wouldn't say the wholesale quality of play has change that much, but it is much more competitive than before. I am sure the stop-start seasons of COVID have a huge part to play, but I think it is clear that the top 2 teams are going to need to finish with more points than previous seasons. | |

I still am where I was, that if Cook doesn't get us up the table soon then we need a change. I always felt the 5 games that we are 2 into were vital - tough looking away games, and balancing up the home/away table - after Wycombe we'll have played 8 home and 8 away. 4 points from the first 2, but if it ends up 7 points from the 5 games then it's not enough and no corner will have been turned | |

My Rotherham supporting mate described the first half of that game as "a 45 minute brawl", there were 12 minutes injury tie across both halves and sounds like that wasn't actually reflective. | |

No, spoke to 2 Rotherham fans and they said it was the worst game they've ever watched, that Wycombe just a horrible side, and worse than they were in this leage 2 seasons agao. 35 minutes football out of 102 minutes | |

That home game against them the other year was possibly the worst game I've witnessed. The second half especially there was just zero football played. The ball was either hoofed out or a foul won, there was nothing happening on the pitch. Worst officials I've ever seen as well, which aided and abetted Wycombe. Awful, awful side. | |

Was that where Jackson scored a last minute winner which was, I believe incorrectly, disalllowed for offside? | |

Think it was Chambers who scored and it was given offside against Jackson who may or may not have been in an offside position but wasn't interfering with play at all. Goal came earlier in the game than that. Holy also saved a penalty, where the offence was outside the box. | |
