28 shots
13 Corners
Against.
That's just fucking abysmal. Near enough a shot every 2 minutes (counting the ball being out of play for a 1/3 of the game).
We have to be the easiest team in the league to play against.
Pelach gives it all the nice phrases, pressing, high-intensity. The buzz words that got him the job.
But the fact of the matter is we have zero midfield, you can run through us at will. And when you easily get to our back 4, it's take your fucking pick.
The keeper has single handedly got us two points this week. We should have lost by a fair few to Nowrich and a fair few tonight.
But its 2 home games down the swanny. The reverse fixtures will be 0 points.

We are in trouble, or as they say in Catalonia "merda de merda"

You are right about certain things in your post, but no way should we have lost by a few to Norwich. Other than the great save from Vik and one header from a corner they created very little.

And worryingly we have only played one of the top 6 so far.
Cant see us getting anything at Blades on satdee

Worrying how he thinks that 4-4-2 is the answer because it worked with Gallagher in the team.
All it does without him is see the ball coming back far too often and our midfield getting overrun.
As for this bizarre tactic we have of letting the opposition fire shots in with zero pressure on them...what the fuck is that all about? We just invite them to have a go from dangerous areas. It's suicide.

I spent most of the match with my jaw on the floor.
An absolute shambles from start to finish.
Not sure this 442 has got a prayer of working without Gallagher, and to basically shut up shop and play for a draw with half an hour left shows he was all out of answers on the night (not that surprising when you look at the bench - but if you were Sidibe or Seko, you'd be scratching your head and asking why he didn't think you were potentially part of the solution at half-time)

You definitely look at those stats and think we were lucky to get a point. After going 2 up as well. No discipline and poor talent. Defence is poor (other clubs throw outs) and the midfield has no ability to help in those defensive duties. Business as usual

Very strange game. 2 up at half time and yet bricking it as you knew we were extremely lucky to be ahead. They were all over us. We were far too open and we had Johansson to thank for the lead. It was only a matter of time. We were clinging on. Unbeaten in 4 is the positive. But its tough to watch. |

We need to go 4-3-3 and try to play through midfield - perhaps Burger sitting deep to take the ball off the defence and go from there. Koumas is by far the best option we've got to play the lone striker role, but even he's not ideally suited to it. I think that would make us harder to break down, and give us at least some sort of plan going forward. |

Even in the Premier League, I've never seen us be so overrun, so passive and to be honest, quite simply so poor. Over 100 shots against us in 6 games is a frightening stat. |

We can't defend full stop, he's supposed to be a defensive coach, I've seen nothing of it yet in every game we are cut open with ease!

Master tactician ? Please can somebody offer a rational explanation of his tactics when it comes to defending corners ?.
Firstly it's always 11 men back so on the off chance we do win the first ball, it's only coming straight back in as there's no outlet and secondly we seem to want the opposition to take a short corner ?
We stick the smallest man on the pitch, Manhoef, in some no mans land between the taker and the near post and he then just watches while the taker knocks it to his mate 10 yards away who then either puts in a cross from a much more dangerous position or knocks it round the ambling Manhoef back to the taker to do this ? It happened about 10 times tonight & probably explains why we conceded so many bloody shots ! 🤬

To be honest, if you'd said after Oxford we'd have 113 shots against us you'd wonder what the hell we'd done.

That's probably true, we just keep stretching the point! 28 attempts though on our goal, in a home match, we've not had that many before have we? |

We've only conceded that number of shots once since relegation, in a tonking at Swansea under Nathan Jones, when we had Edwards and BMI sent off at the start of the second half.
In a home match, I've never seen anything like it.
The home match that it reminded me of was Leeds under Bielsa, where we just looked stupid, but just checked and they only had 21 shots in that game

It's a massive worry, and unsustainable. |
