chilledbear 16 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I could see the beginnings last season, pace, possession, I didn't agree with it 100% but it was exciting and with better players you could dream. Where has it gone? The signings of older experienced players has slowed us down, no zip, no pressing, passing the ball about in our own half is not going to create chances. It's up to the Manager now to decide what way we are going. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cr4igd 0 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Last year our problem was hitting the back of the net. I'd play Rossiter where Dom Ball played last year and tinker with the attack to get the right mix. As for defense well........... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,663 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Plan A is simply keeping possession of the ball without any real idea of how to break the defence down 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Warburton's plan A is great when it's working, as chillebear said it's exciting and enjoyable to watch. However when it doesn't work the problems start, we don't seem to be able to do plan A better, nor is there any alternative to the plan atm. Teams are reading our plan and bettering it, yesterday we were out plan A'd, we had no counter. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooponthewing 1,139 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) Barton and Kranjar are cogs in the wheel, that's where plan A had gone. Watch the games, and watch the ball circulation in midfield. Time and time again quick ball is replaced by stop, look, think, ohhhhhh and then it's gone!! This has spread hesitation and a lack of confidence thought the team. Imo and it's only that, is that their is unrest over team selection in the ranks also?. Plan A is pass and move, quick ball. Neither of these are in Kranjar or Barton remit ffs! Barton is a holder and Kranjar looks like he would rather be on a sun lounger!!

MacK1950 2,376 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Said last season that "planA" was easy to read and now that we have finished that test this year's "planA" has not changed and all teams in the SPL have had plenty of time to set up tactics to deal with us so maybe new tactics have to be employed. Don't ask me to say what because I do not have any idea. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton is a holder and Kranjar looks like he would rather be on a sun lounger!! was about to say the same thing mate. barton was the worst player on the park and should have been hooked ao half time. but the bigger issue is what exactly does he bring to to the team? Kranjar too. Theyre mediocre at best and whatsmore i very much doubt they will get any better as the season goes on. As for the defence, we just dont have a central defender worth talking about. Im afraid or manager has got his homework wrong this season and it will cost us dear in the long run. hope he learns fast from his mistakes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing them hasn't worked. It's now a case of how to get shot off them. Won't be easy. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 Would it be wrong to suggest that Plan A was changed the day Barton was signed? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhunter 0 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Would it be wrong to suggest that Plan A was changed the day Barton was signed? MW also made great play about respect and cohesion in the dressing room his signing doesn't make sense and it didn't at the time either. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
