The gaffer made it clear in last night`s meeting that percentage/possession tactics are the way forward, we just need a couple of players to hold the ball up and the ability to produce some thing out of nothing on a regular basis, in his interview he named a number of clubs he was in constant dialog with, so the transfer window come January hopefully will bear fruit.lowandhard wrote: November 26th, 2021, 10:05 am I’m not sure how effective our possession game will be tonight. Exeter had 62% apparently against them - and a fat lot of good it did them. If we do get that much we’ve got to do something with it as they obviously defended well and defeated Exeter fairly convincingly.
Yeah me too but sadly I’m expecting the result they got at home to ExeterBlackandamber wrote: November 26th, 2021, 12:18 pm Not feeling at all optimistic about tonight's game after our last performance and that of Colchester. Would definitely take a point.

And I’ve just watched the supporters meeting video, we’ll just always play that way. The manager is committed to the “process”.UPTHEPORT wrote: November 26th, 2021, 4:16 pmStan A.

I suppose the more you got the ball the less likely they will score you can't really argue with that
You could read from that he does not have a plan B or just a bit of kidology on the gaffers part, either way the players are finding it hard to buy into it, time will tell.lowandhard wrote: November 26th, 2021, 5:17 pmAnd I’ve just watched the supporters meeting video, we’ll just always play that way.

Suspect the players mental "process" will be the deciding factor tonight. A repeat of Tuesday's 2nd half lack of positivity and belief will almost certainly result in a loss.flat4 wrote: November 26th, 2021, 5:24 pmYou could read from that he does not have a plan B or just a bit of kidology on the gaffers part, either way the players are finding it hard to buy into it, time will tell.lowandhard wrote: November 26th, 2021, 5:17 pmAnd I’ve just watched the supporters meeting video, we’ll just always play that way.

One thing the gaffer did say last night was how we have gone from 23rd to, I believe, 4th in xG (Expected Goals) In the league since the regime change. I believe that reflects possession in the opposition third in the modern game.Stan A.
