Noticed this on two occasions this season.. 11:25 - Dec 18 with 694 views

First Bracknell did it and now Wycombe. Both teams went man for man all over the pitch with us leaving Burgess (mainly) as the free man when in possession.

It seems to be fairly effective and I’m surprised other teams haven’t used this tactic on us. We don’t have many players with the ability to beat a man and go 1 v 1 with their man, which makes the man for man task a bit easier.

I wonder if other teams will start deploying this tactic. Evans came on and he didn’t have a touch because they didn’t allow him to get the ball off the defenders on the half turn and control the game we’ve seen him do a lot this season.

Poll:

If selling Jackson meant getting in a wide man, would you be happy with Garbutt?

I don't think it helped yesterday that Woolfy wasn't playing. He also didn't play against Bracknell. It meant we weren't really able to work the ball out from the back, which I think adversely affected the way we played.

Undoubtedly teams will deploy thus because it clearly districts our tippy tappy purest football approach. Why wouldn’t they. But we need a striker (s) that can score goals regularly. We need central defenders that can defend when called upon…. Every time ! Teams don’t actually have to
“work” to score against us. We normally gift it to them - every game!
I don’t care about possession or shots stats. They mean nothing if the end result is no points of only 2 point when it clearly should have been 3.

First half
Chaplin
Jackson
Ladapo x2

ALL should have scored. All recorded “ shots” in goal but thd jeroer didn’t have a save to make. They had 1 meaningful shot snd score. THATS our major problem . And if we’re not careful it will cost us promotion. We’re seeing this EVERY game.

January can’t get here quick enough.
