Fisher/Naughton 6 Yard Box

[Skippyjack]

Anyone wonder wtf we're doing?.. Fisher passes to Naughton then back to Fisher, humps it upfield about 5 times a game.. why take the risk and the fact he lumps it up field anyway just boggles the mind.. just take a goal kick if you're going to lump it.. and Fisher's passes are f*cking awful and his insistence to not come for the ball and lack of saving ability makes it one odd odd signing almost like the Burns and Ogbeta signings, clearly not good enough

 

[Cooperman]

Today was particularly bad. We nearly conceded from it on eight minutes and then we go and fućk it up again on ten minutes. It was the same last time I saw us play at home. This appears to be another RM tactic that he’s not prepared to evolve.

I agree,I mentioned it in the match thread.
It’s utter f*cking nonsense.

Martin probably thinks it's a masterful plan.. when in reality, the opposition will not let us get out easily to play a ball freely into Grimes and Downes who then revert to type, sideways, backwards, sideways forward, backwards again.. when they should be orchestrators for our attacks.. Grimes is the best midfielder in the championship though, according to the delusional element of our support, 3 more years of mediocrity beckons with him as captain

Lets be honest Martin thinks his shit is chocolate, people need to get their heads around the fact that he ain't going anywhere, we're going through a gradual decline here and back to the doldrum day of league one at least, not to worry the Trust got the clubs back after the 20 million in the bank after a successful court case. :roll:

 

[CurtessECarr]

Comedy football at it's best. It's our different style. Nobody else does it see. The new Swansea way. :roll:

 

[Itchysphincter]

It’s painful and the fact that Swansea fans were booing our own keeper after 15 minutes tells the story. Fisher is finished here and Russ may well be following him if he thinks that is acceptable. To treat the fans with such arrogant contempt and the opposition players with such disrespect was one of the reasons we didn’t bother stopping to clap the players on their lap of appreciation. They can literally go and f*ck themselves after that shite yesterday, Russ too. Still livid.

 

[Jackfath]

I'm assuming the idea is that it is used to pull the opposition out of position and make their striker run around more than he would normally. The issue for me is that if this is to be the norm, then the keeper should hit someone with his pass 85% of the time. Fisher is miles off that. If he was an imposing keeper who controlled his box well too it would be something. But he's not.

As for the booing there was some very strong opinions flying around between fans. One particular chap was irate and had a right pop at another and blamed him for starting the booing whilst he clapped like a seal for 90 minutes.

 

[GriffTom]

You can see what it brings when it comes off. Just doesn’t work often enough. Then at times when it does work we somehow manage to work it back to Fisher again.

I feel like we also have to mention the statues that Fisher was presented with when trying to play out yesterday. Didn’t see any movement all game.

At times yesterday there were large spaces in QPRs shape to exploit but no one was moving into them. When they’re CB went off for second half Adomah didn’t have a clue what he was supposed to be doing defensively. Grimes actually made some good runs into space in the second half for the ball over the top but wasn’t ever used. It wasn’t good enough though.

May 22 - and almost a year later Fisher is still at it although Naughton has been jetisoned

 

[Pegojack]

I watched a lot of the game online and I have to say Stoke played us perfectly. Just keep a high press on our back line and they literally shyte themselves in possession, they don't know what to do or how to get out of it.
The result is a shedload of sideways and backwards passes until the inevitable suicide ball. Every team in the league will see how to play us.

 

[sainthelens]

I made point of watching Wood closely 2nd half last night ( easier as it's down the end we wer at in the ground), and the guy is literally shyting himself when he gets it in a pressure position....for me that is solely down to coaching. And as been said above, its been going on for over a year. I mean WTF is going on at training?
