Good post off the offy site ....
Worthy please read this ....
Now, there is no point keep bidding for strikers.
We have enough quality strikers at this club to be amongst the top scorers in the league quite easily. There is also no point in signing ineffectual players such as Robinson who offer no creativity whatsoever. Hopefully everyone has got the message now that hard work (Although an essential part of success) does not bring success by itself. Running around like a headless chicken is not football.
The real problem lies in creativity from midfield and building up attacks from our back four.
What has happened to Green's throw to the full back? What's happened to the movement? What's happened to creating space and our players actually wanting the ball?
Why do we have no right sided attacks? Balance is vital in football, and we don't have it.
Playing 4-4-2...What should be happening is this:
When we're in possession, Safri should be coming deep to receive the ball from the centre backs...The left and right back should push forward and the centre backs push wider. Safri has options left and right. Our other central midfield should be looking for space and gaps, as should Huckerby on the left. McVeigh, playing just off of Ashton should also be looking for gaps to receive passes. This will enable our full backs to get forward and overlap/cut in and cross/pass.
We pride ourselves on fitness, so covering the pitch should not be a problem. Safri is simply backing up play, and if we're attacking down the left, our right back simply has to tuck in to provided a bit more cover and vice versa.
Another thing, is we defend FAR too deep as a team. Simon Charlton has said before that ideally the back four and front two are not more than 30 yards apart. However, we sit so deep, that our midfield is dragged on top of them, and we struggle to get out...So then what happens? That's it, LONG BALL TIME! That's not us, that's not Norwich City FC.
Also, nobody seems to track runs from midfield...Countless times last season our midfield was bypassed by the simplest of balls all because our midfield just let the opposition run past us!
We have good, positive players at this club...Let's start playing football the proper way, entertaining our amazing fans, not playing the whack and hope.
Dean Ashton should work the width of the penalty area, not the channels.
I think that's about it for now...
