CMS

[Herr Tubthumper]

A female friend watched her first and only Albion game a year or so ago. She knew nothing about football and asked why that bloke with the blond hair keeps falling over and waving his arms around; why doesn't he try and score a goal instead?

Play to his strengths and he will score goals for some reason only known to himself Poyet didn't.

Isn't this the really worrying thing though. I think we all thought that Oscar's team would move the ball quickly and at pace - but after two and half seasons in the Championship we are still really shot shy. And we really struggle to commit bodies forward. We play in front of teams beautifully - but when it comes to balls down the channels, interplay on the edge of the box and some direct pace (CMS's strength) - we just can't/don't play that way.

You sure she didn't mean Barnes? Never seen someone fall over so much and wave their arms about.

I expect him to be good within Oscars style but I hope that too many dont expect too much too soon and start giving him stick as he will obviously take time to get re-adjusted and match fit.

Spot on, teams have worked us out especially at home. We should be going for that early goal at home 4-4-2 it for the first half. I'm no coach but as a fan I know exactly what we are going to serve up game after game, if I can see it so can the opposition.

 

[BensGrandad]

Every team send a scout to watch their opponents before playing them perhaps for the game against Donny we should change at the last minute, having done it in training, and perhaps throw 2 up front if we have 2 to chose from and cancel out their pre planning. This would confuse any scouts sent from Leeds or any future opponents, who wouldn't know exactly how we were going to line up and play.

 

[Eksman]

I just hope we play 2 up front! Probably won't tho

I'm really looking forward to it. We all know how differently certain players react to new managers, we've seen CMS can be deadly in the past, hopefully Oscar will get the best out of him.
