plymouthranger 3,937 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Maybe tonight wasn’t the surface for if, but we’ve got to start clawing this back. Currently 10 goals behind them which whilst not impossible to claw back, is becoming more and more unlikely. It could end up costing us the league, it’s going to be tight. Why are we not getting Sakala and Roofe into the side more? Seems mad that we’re basically relying on Morelos and getting no-one else match fit in a forward role.

Roofe only goes into that side in place of Morelos. Take Morelos out that side and we're fucked. Sakala just isn't very good tbh.

Essandoh 21,353 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I think they’ll finish with a higher goal difference but that current gap could close pretty significantly very quickly. Drunk and disorderly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnsey 1,540 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 My biggest fear with the lack of changes and subs is when we need them they are coming in cold. The Motherwell game was prime example, brings Roofe on out of desperation and he's miles off it because he hasn't been getting the game time. The last week has been so frustrating from Gio but he can still turn it around, although I'm worried he's maybe too stubborn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sco22y 280 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Your suggestion would no doubt mean a change in formation as there is no way we should be dropping Alfie for Roofe. Formation change with 2 upfront and placing more faith in our midfielders to win the midfield battle is needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that I mean we don't need 5 in midfield again teams that sometimes play with 4 and have the rest as defenders (parking the busesque) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDak 814 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Genuine question that comes to mind every time I hear GD mentioned: when was the last time goal difference decided the league? It just feels like another stick to beat ourselves with right now. Bad Robot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to know more about his title win in Holland was it a Ranieri type where the stars just sort of aligned for one season only and it will never happen again or did he have to deal with set backs and managed to come back stronger?

RS4_wul 4,154 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 It may seem unlikely right now but that gd could easily change in the space of 2 or 3 games. Could. Obviously winning games first and collecting the 3 points is all that matters at this time of the season but with 9 games left that deficit can be clawed back.
