And the usually slow build up

and in too often winning the ball back too deep rather than higher up the pitch, which in turn leads to a slower build up phase. That and because we have no pace for the counter attack.

  - At the end of the day he wasn't good enough (n/m) (Other Football) - Trent_Canary, Feb 21, 10:11:17
    - I'll put this out there. Holt has only ever been good enough under Lambert (Other Football) - pants, Feb 21, 10:14:19
      - Morison is not as good as Holt. (Other Football) - APB, Feb 21, 10:53:49
      - Scored plenty before us, and I think he still looks a quality player. (n/m) (Other Football) - APB, Feb 21, 10:44:23
      - Holt has worked his socks off this year in a formation which doesnt suit him at all. (n/m) (Other Football) - Pit, Feb 21, 10:30:55
      - no striker has looked good for us playing under Hughton's defensive style (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 21, 10:19:34

        Discuss: Hughton doesn't have a defensive style (Other Football) - BerlinCanary, Feb 21, 10:24:51
        
        Discuss: Hughton doesn't have a defensive style, he just has strikers at the club who (Other Football) - RootunTootunHootun, Feb 21, 11:47:34
        
        Said strikers scored plenty at this level last season (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 21, 11:52:32
        
        Martin, Jackson? (Other Football) - RootunTootunHootun, Feb 21, 12:20:15
        
        Morison and Holt both hit double figures (n/m) (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 21, 15:10:21
        
        Whatever his style is, it does not make our strikers look any good (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 21, 11:35:37
        
        I'm with you on that. Not defensive, and the caution is in the subs. (n/m) (Other Football) - APB, Feb 21, 10:43:29
        
        And the usually slow build up (Other Football) - duke of york, Feb 21, 10:44:48
        
        I'd rather we play through the midfield though. (Other Football) - APB, Feb 21, 10:51:44
        
        That would work except titty cant pass and BJ is just a battering ram. (n/m) (Other Football) - Pit, Feb 21, 10:54:25
        
        I think tettey does his job well (Other Football) - duke of york, Feb 21, 11:13:43
        
        Fox? I prefer Fox over Tettey an Johnson. I like Tettey but gives the ball away alot with (Other Football) - Pit, Feb 21, 11:32:27
        
        Tetty is far better than BJ, better passing, more tackles more blocks (n/m) (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 21, 11:36:11
        
        BJ has the look on his face which says "I cant believe I am a premiership player". (n/m) (Other Football) - Pit, Feb 21, 11:38:17
        
        I think he's had a decent season (n/m) (Other Football) - RootunTootunHootun, Feb 21, 12:39:24
        
        Yep. He's done ok. At least with BJ and Tettey we dont get over-run in midfield. (n/m) (Other Football) - Pit, Feb 21, 12:46:36
      - Under Lambert's system, maybe (Other Football) - duke of york, Feb 21, 10:17:16
  - Misunderstood innit. 10 goals last season was perfectly ok (n/m) (Other Football) - pants, Feb 21, 09:55:15
    - I want our players to be better than ok though. (n/m) (Other Football) - lurd, Feb 21, 10:05:27
      - *btw* (Other Football) - pants, Feb 21, 12:15:45
      - Same here, which is why the transfer window was very worrying (n/m) (Other Football) - pants, Feb 21, 10:07:08
        
        Bechio did ok in his start, but I do wonder if he will be up to this level (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 21, 10:17:46
    - better than ok, was a good return. (n/m) (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 21, 10:03:07
    - agree (n/m) (Other Football) - Pit, Feb 21, 10:00:41

        One step beyond. (n/m) (Other Football) - Pit, Feb 21, 11:40:02
        
        Hardly a proven Premier League goalscorer. (Other Football) - lurd, Feb 21, 10:37:53
        
        He did ok with double figures tbh (n/m) (Other Football) - Pit, Feb 21, 10:42:03
      - 11 if you count one for Wales. I loved that volley he scored from outside the box (Other Football) - pants, Feb 21, 10:03:38
        
        Moro definitely not slow (Other Football) - duke of york, Feb 21, 10:18:02
        
        That was one of my faves, along with goals home & away vs Arsenal (Other Football) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Feb 21, 10:10:57
  - Well he did well last season. Didnt look up for it this time. (n/m) (Other Football) - Pit, Feb 21, 09:54:38
    - Although he scored a few last year, he never really convinced. (n/m) (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 21, 10:02:51
      - I find it tough to question his commitment, his face was black as anything in the Wigan (Other Football) - pants, Feb 21, 10:06:19
        
        Which Wigan game was that? (n/m) (Other Football) - lurd, Feb 21, 10:34:57
        
        honestly, I never thought he looked up to this level. (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 21, 10:16:47
        
        His first touch is poor (Other Football) - duke of york, Feb 21, 10:19:17
        
        lack of technique, poor passing, not quick. (n/m) (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 21, 10:23:21
