How so we think a new manager is going to solve this problem? Because at best we're only going to draw if we carry on struggling to score the way we have been.
Victor and Frieser don't, and have never, scored goals. Here or anywhere else. I keep saying it. Oduor has never even been expected to. To keep playing the three of them and expecting something to change is madness. Iseka was bought as an improvement. Whether he is or not is anyone's guess at the minute but I'd like to see him given a proper run to prove himself given the absolute dearth of alternatives. Cole....I don't get why we bought him. Scoring goals in Scotland doesn't make you a Championship striker but he can't be any more blunt than the options we keep picking.
I think we'd all like to know what the hell is going on with the Belgium lads because our season could well hang on what they do. If they're not ready to start soon then we're in the **** big time. Are they unfit? Are they injured? Are they absolutely cack and we've bought two duds? Schopp said in the Chronicle the other week that Cole has to do a lot more to get in the team and we've given him a bloody 3 year deal!
The short time I saw Iseka on the field confuses the **** out of me why he didn't start before Odour of Friezer.
He looks like a striker. I've not seen anything in Vic that convinces me he is a striker at this level in 2 years.
As converse as it sounds, i’d play two up top rather than three. 3-5-2, fill the midfield more so we can retain possession better, and have the lads up front, be available more centrally, if one is wide the other is in the box. At the moment we have three up front but nobody in the box most of the time when the ball goes wide, and it’s too slow. They have to try something different, this isn’t working.
I think the best way to score more goals is to ask our opponents to deliberately let one in. I've often found if you engage with people and are polite you often get results. So next match Schopp's best tactic might be to say to the Millwall manager 'You and your lads are really lovely people. Can you give us a goal please?' Could just work.....
I think formations are just a gloss over. No matter what, he doesn’t play players in their right positions. He’d play a 3-5-2 on Saturday and play Odour up top centrally with Jasper Moon.
We’ll score some, not many, goals under a coach that can organise a team and make sure the players know what they’re doing. At the moment, Schopp isn’t displaying any redeeming features. We’re conceding a hatful of chances most games and we can’t score goals. We’ll be relegated unless something changes quickly.
Unfortunately our Midfield goes missing and is often non existent, that’s why we struggle to create chances and the defence is being over run, sort this out and it will improve considerably.
The middle as to be sorted ,in this system which I am still confused with,are getting slaughtered down the flanks . It's not the players fault. Leadership needs to come from the coach. He is unable to do that at the moment.
Improve the crossing and get Woodrow in the box then goals will come. Woodrows scored 1 goal in open play which says it all for me.
This 1000% - front 3 is confusing for this lot, who is a striker in it? None of them appear to playing that role, get a front 2 - even if one is Victor as the target and the other is Iseka until we get Morris back fit. Got to get more in that midfield - letting Kane go on loan now seems a very stupid decision, along with Luke Thomas - between them Benson and Palmer we could have a 3 in there with Gomes as the holding player. As it is got to go with Gomes, Benson and Palmer for me, with Brittain and Styles as wing backs, but with Gomes sitting deep I would genuinely push at least one of them into wide midfield at all times. Back 3 of Helik, Halme and Sibbick.
Play with some width , a defensive midfielder to cover for the wing-backs would do and allow Brittain and Styles the licence they had last year , then make sure we`re not just lumping balls up to a forward who works his whatsits off but can`t compete with big hairy defenders -play it to feet!
