Playing out from the back.... 20:36 - Mar 13 with 937 views | strikalite | Is it me, or should we be mixing this up a little bit throughout the game? First half especially everything was short from Walton and we got caught out a couple of times, I know what they're trying to do and when it comes off it's great but can't help feel that at times Walton could just take a long goal kick and get the ball into the oppositions half and we build from there... | | | | |

Play from the back and it works and you stretch the opponents. Go long and it's 50 50 who ends up with the ball. I hate watching It sometimes as you feel like a mistake is coming, and quite a lot of times it happens. But when it comes off it's great as opponents are then chasing shadows. | |

Think it just got a bit too predictable, one bad touch or an interception and we're done for, that's how I'm feeling.....get it up the bloody pitch, actually if you watch us we actually do after about four passes end up pumping it long ha...but yeah break their lines and all that I get it's how he wants to play, mixed feelings i guess.. | | | |
Playing out from the back.... on 21:00 - Mar 13 with 837 views | Garv | I think Walton does go long when he has to. Considering how much we play short, we get caught out very infrequently. The attitude seems to be that if we have the ball the opposition can't score, which has served us pretty well. [Post edited 13 Mar 2022 21:02]

I'm not opposed to it, I just think we should be mixing it up at bit, first half we were so deep at times, mix it up, keep them guessing.... | | | |

Don't mean that, don't twist it, just mean now and then mix it up because the oppo are onto it when you're doing it all the time.. You know I don't mean that... | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Except that, rather than being 'done for' on any kind of regular basis, the team playing this way has conceded just one goal in about 15 hours of football. Which also means that if an attack breaks down, we just deal with the threat, regain the ball and start to build again. An important part of which - and the source of many of our goals - is the midfield. Which we thus do not want to be bypassing, IMO. | |

Playing out from the back.... on 22:16 - Mar 13 with 614 views | Swansea_Blue | I think we do normally mix it up. It's just that we're so used to hoofing it all the time, we've forgotten what football looks like. If you want to see pointless passing come down here to swansea. They celebrate when they cross the halfway line! (and we saw the same form Russell Martin's Dons last season). | |
