I know players need to make choice of whether to play long or not. And read the game. However direction comes from manager and he has been clearly demanding it played out from the back. That system clearly did not work in game management as we have now lost 9 points from winning positions. I also think Ward and McGin are uncomfortable with the possession based approach and struggle with it. Possibly Priestly too.
That's 9 lost from winning positions. Most in the league. I agree game management needed when we're ahead. Ward should be told not to play from the back when ahead. It's ok to play it long when times running out and at latter part of match.
Though we have played good possession football, without really penetrating enough, reality is we are only 2 points above relegation play off position. Been lacking in GK and defence areas.
Manager needs a lesson in game management. If your 2.1 up you don't need to keep playing balls out from the back. Needs to be more defensive minded in later stages when ahead.
Loved interview with Brenda after Braga outplayed them. The seethe about that disallowed goal. They are used to getting every decision in Scotland goin there way and cheated us a few times in the past with diving and getting fouls or pens.
Lennon's been asking for more game time but managers saying you can't hurry son. You just got to wait. He thinks they can beat Cagliari but it's against all odds. 🤣🤣
I'm hoping if good work continues we can hopefully extend jba contract given extra funds we may get. In crowds and merchandise and cup runs. Possible League position if higher. In addition. I think he did say it's a longer term project and may want to see it through to take him to next level. He will also get time here if mistakes made and would look better on his CV if here for a few years as other jobs have been more brief.
