Those long balls

ChickenBaltiPie · Oct 17, 2015

.....how do we feel about all those constant long balls up the pitch to Baldock?

Hemed perhaps is capable of holding the ball up successfully enough, Zamora certainly is but why do the guys constantly pick out Baldock for the pass?

We are top of the league by 4 points.... :shrug:

1st time all year tbh. I put it down to Leeds out numbering us in the middle of the park and pressing well. We got passing a bit better when we brought Crofts on and played 3v3 in there. Got us higher up the pitch and helped us get the winning goal. We were not good today but a change of tactic and a great finish sees us 4 points clear. 11 games unbeaten. Let's enjoy hey we are top for at least another game.

Exactly this ^

Very good call by CH bringing Crofts on for Rosenior.

I think a man who has held a UEFA Pro License for 13 years, has gained promotion from the Championship and manages a team 4 points clear of the Championship knows more about football than you. That is what I think.

Played 11, Won 7, drawn 4 - so don't feel anything about them really. Are they something important?

Really?

There has to be a moaner, NSC would not be the same without one. As stated, 4 points clear, away win at Elland Road, but someone has to have a moan. It's brilliant really.

I think it's more of an 'out' ball rather than a long ball style, so 'constant' is a bit strong. There were a number of times when we passed the ball about and when Crofts came on we looked stronger.

Felt Hemed was poor today and Zamora looked a lot more capable.

.....i think you might be right, and i'd be the first to admit it, but what about my 'question' would indicate i think otherwise? :tosser:

I'd rather the long balls, 'than the faffing around with it at the back' of recent seasons, if those really are our only two options and there are no other options. :wrong:

there is always plenty of moaners, i'm not one of them. I am ecstatic about the win but thanks for telling me how i should feel. I am only interested in the polite, genuine opinions of others about what things we can do to improve regardless of our position. We should strive for perfection, and today wasn't. FFS so I'm to rave about the team when they win, and slate them when they lose, and nothing more moderate in between!? What a bunch of board trolls

How about the post 3 after this one where you presume that fans can tell said manager how to improve? And you ask for polite responses having used that Emoticon? Hmm.

Throw your hat in the ring for next BHA manager, you seem to think you are there already.

Seeing your performance on this thread so far, I'm not sure you deserve any more responses.
