I know it was mentioned several times during the Euros but Cox and Southgate seem to have the same corporate manual.
Watching the Poland game on Wednesday and a number of similarities sprang to mind. The difference being of course, that Southgate can pick from the cream of English talent, whereas Cox is left with the bargain bucket at the end of the summer sales.
Basically six defenders and four others left to play where they want. Slow build up from the back, so once the forwards have the ball the opposition have got back in numbers, and the ball goes backwards again.
Keeping a tight defence, going ahead but failing to add a second, and conceding an equaliser in added time.
We’re fine against the Andorras and San Marinos, but against a decent team if we don’t get that second goal it can go tits-up, just like in the Euros Final.
Cox has to start getting goals from his players. Can’t remember when we scored more than one in a game!

Is there any way you can avoid scrolling down through all of your previous predictions to access the save button?
By Christmas it’ll take all day!
Bratwurst and Doner Kebabs surely?
Cox didn’t promise attacking football either, only said that’s what he would like to achieve or how we would play
If someone you knew said “I’d like to lose weight”, but did nothing about it and in fact put on more weight, then you’d question their sincerity and their ability to follow it through.
As soon as you make a public statement then the public hold you to it.
If you don’t it’s at best a lack of ambition, and worse a broken promise.
Is he German?

So who’s operating the dummy?
Awaywego, Pat & Alky all have valid points.
But the overriding issue is that that things have not only got worse but they are continuing to worsen.
If the club can’t see this with their own eyes then I doubt if having a fans panel will make a difference.
I am willing to be proved wrong but won’t be holding my breath.

Am I right that the only 1 of those 3 goals which has cost us points is the Sutton equaliser?
On the flip side, we picked up a point in the 90th minute against Walsall, so not all bad.
Indeed.
So 2pts dropped v Sutton and 1pt gained v Walsall.
Some will argue we’ve dropped twice as many as we’ve gained.
But as WG points out, the critical stat is the 1 win in 17.
Not good whatever way you look at it.

We look ‘leggy’ almost every week, what exactly does it mean and why are we always ‘leggy’?
“John Wayne is Big Leggy!”
So far this season we’ve conceded three times in the last 15 minutes. Only Mansfield have conceded the same number (3) and no team has conceded more.
6/24 teams have conceded zero late goals.
On that basis we are not that great at keeping out the opposition late on, but six games is not much of a sample.
Four late goals in the six games we’ve played……
Fast forward twelve months…

September 5, 2021 at 10:36 am in reply to: At what point do we consider the manager is the problem? #213221A week ago posters were bigging up the team’s togetherness and battling qualities and praising Cox for this.
For whatever reason he drops two players who had performed well last time out and replaces them with two loans who had only just entered the building.
So I’m wondering if this had a destabilising effect on the lineup?
Got the team selection and tactics wrong yesterday IMO.

Only if the opposition have zero shots on target!

No room for O’Malley?
I’m guessing those who thanked the OP would have no problem with a team of devout Catholics crossing themselves before kick off.
Fifty Pence has got it spot on. Well said.
Yes!
fair dos at home but not in a country with theres a record of racist and homophobic views,
I’d argue that’s all the more reason to do it.
If the dog shits on the carpet, rub his nose in it.
Nice haul in Big J’s keep net btw!
Had a good draw away at Forest Green, but like us have been finding goals hard to come by.
Could be an attritional game decided by the odd goal.
Team selection will be interesting.
More paper cups on that pitch than the aftermath of Reading Festival.
Well done Raheem, Harry and the lads for giving the fascist huns a good, old fashioned thrashing.

Taxi for Cox?
Bollocks to full backs and forwards, let’s flood the midfield!
Works for Man City I guess.

Strange one unless we have a long term injury in that dept and we’re not being told.
Perhaps Mr Kenyon will be spending more time in the commentary box than on the pitch?

I find BS’s joke offensive to people with incontinence problems.

“Because it was two-tyred!”
Now that’s a nice PC joke that doesn’t poke fun at anyone.
