'Ipswich won't be far off, that is if Cooky realises playing Bonne up front on his own doesn't work. I expected a lot more from the Tractor Boys, we made them look average at best'
'Ipswich had loads of posession, but very little threat. They will do well to get anywhere near the playéoffs under Cook.'
'Excellent team performance against a strangely goal shy Ipswich team, they have arguably the best squad in the league on paper, but looked very ordinary tonight, or was it more a case of we made them look ordinary tonight?'
'Cooke will get them into the play offs, because with that squad he should'
'Ipswich and Paul Cook did us a favour by playing 4-2-3-1, we outplayed, out -fought and out-thought them. Stop Sam Morsey and you stop Ipswich'
Thoughts? |  |

Morsy like all the others, Started off impressing. Now he looks like a similar version of dozzell. amazingly lightweight on the ball, not as hard tackling as I thought he was, doesn't go forward, well his body does, the ball comes back. When he joined he drove the team forward and altho his game isn't to put in killer balls.. he seems reluctant to press forward now and reverts to safe side ways football or bring it back edmundson.

Well if you hunt in packs and surround a team’s most effective play maker , what do you expect ?
Plan B required plz PC ….,,(as Mills said “ there’s no shame in dispensing with your favoured formation for another”) |  |

....they spend days analysing footage of their previous matches.
They then have team meetings where they outline their strengths and weaknesses.
They then give each player a folder with details of what's expected of them during the game, and a detailed break down of their direct opponent and how to get the better of them.
When a team plays us, they just stick a post it note to the dressing room door saying "4-2-3-1" |  |

Pretty impressive to get everything in a post the wrong way round. There are loads of examples of him doing exactly what you are saying he doesn't do.
I thought after your little escapades the other week which saw you leave these shores that you said you were going to stop with these ridiculous hot takes?

Well it's just nonsense isn't it.
You couldn't justify one of those assertions if it came down to it and people could post plenty of examples of where he does exactly the things you say he doesn't do.
It's a pattern of behaviour I'm afraid.

Play two upfront haha who would have thought it eh..
Honestly, it beggars belief that we have a proven goal scorer on the bench getting crumbs of minutes in Division Three, the best of it is, we play a system that relies on flying full backs yet have ditched that(yes, I know why)for a straight back four, fine, but you have to compensate that especially against the better teams.. |  | | |

I think I've figured you out... you miss Lambingo. So every time you want to create an opinion you randomly place a player name (or names) in a series of words that describe a football situation.
Well played Mr Lambert. [Post edited 24 Nov 2021 16:36]

I spoke to a Rotherham fan, and on their iFollow commentary they had Joe Mattock (left back for them who is currently injured).
He said he was just basically saying what their game plan was, telling the fans what their press triggers were etc, and how it was a cracking insight into how well prepared they were and how the game played out as they anticipated it would. |  |

1. Pass it across the back four 25 times
2. Give it to Sam, so that he can give it to Lee, Lee give it back to Sam x 10"
3. Pass it back to the centre backs - your choice which one (ideally George, Toto might slice it into his own net)
4. Hump it up to Macca. | |

Their manager and every manager we have faced this season
you know what you get with Paul Cook, its the same formation but they are a good team.
Okay paraphrased a bit but thats the general gist of what they all say. |  | | |

That is a frankly ridiculous assessment. Morsy is nothing like Dozzell as a player and is certainly not lightweight.
We have many problems but Morsy is far from being at the top of the list, people seem to have quickly forgotten the Evans / Harper pairing and how ineffective that was. |  | | |

No one said it was top of a list.
If PCs coaching team have taken morsy back a level since joining that's unfortunate and Morsy certainly isn't looking like the one that joined. Hopefully it's a blip in form. | |

Sounds like Lambert left his whiteboard behind and Cook just changed the names. What a club. |  |

Not what I said in my post.
I said all the things you said about what he does were nonsense. It was a typical knee-jerk post based on one match (or historically for you, a portion of a match) ignoring the context of previous games.
There are loads of examples people could post of Morsy doing all the things you say he doesn't do. I think even you know that your list of things he can't do was complete bobbins.

Not at all stokie. You just fail to see a fault in players unless you specifically don't like them and then we hear all about. Which happens all all fan sites. I had to change it as you again took my post alot further than intended.
The OPS comment stated morsy was effectively the difference in town winning or losing. I was just pointing out that since his debut he hasn't shown the same performance and yes you're right he does things right at times. Of course otherwise he wouldn't have been a champ player. But there are plenty of examples of him doing exactly what I stated above too. At present as a midfielder in the two. He's doing alot of what dozzell did. Getting forward himself but then finding a way to play a pass backwards or sideways rather than forwards. Nothing wrong with that at times. But it became very frustrating last night and again its not the first time.
There's no need to believe every player signed is fantastic. You wouldn't take it that Edwards didn't do things. You didn't take it celina didn't do things. You now don't take it morsy doesn't do certain things consistently. Do you find fault in any player or only if you think of it first? | |

Correct. Ones in the champ ones in league 1.
( altho tnh dozzell could be sitting on the bench no idea lol)
But no not quite. Was more of a comparison of the bad points off dozzell rather than the overall player he was. [Post edited 24 Nov 2021 21:00]

Truth is, if we need more up front we need a change of manager. Cook will not change from 1 up front. If that is no going to be enough, we need a new manager.
I am torn between hoping it will come right for Cook and wanting us to change sooner rather than leave it much later. |  |
