AVOID PLAYOFFS.

This has to be the primary motivation for next season. Hit the ground running and crush everyone before us. It's the only way.

NO slow start to the season :evilwhip:
NO bad Christmas period :evilwhip:
NO fade off towards the end :evilwhip:
NO excuses :evilwhip:

Oh! and NO fucking hotels Bates, Just players please :evilwhip: :evilwhip: :evilwhip:

This must be the aim for next year. Watching a very average but organised Millwall side knock us out last night was an absolute nightmare.

I think we need to be able to change we way we play during the game. The goal we scored was made by turning their defence, yet we keep on trying to play the ball for Becchio to flick on (which he struggled to do with the centre half playing so well) or playing it up to the front 2 who have a touch of an elephant. Beckford gets called by a lot of Leeds fans, yet we don't play to his strengths. He needs the ball playing in front of him so he can hit it instinctlvly. If he has time to think he has time to cock it up. We have wingers who should be able to turn defences, we need to use them more.

After they scored and they had the injuries we resorted to firing the ball down the middle. It was the wrong move. We panicked in the last twenty minutes.

Dee's a liar....
Beckford can only control one in 8 passes to his feet so play it behind the defence for him to run onto. (He could do with less moaning too, spent too long whinging last night, if he could get rid of it and not let it affect his game he'd do loads better i think)

Becchio is good in the air but not as good as some defenders so why keep using that route?

Parker seems good enough going forward but has little lapses of concentration too often - move him upto left wing?

Delph is good when bursting forward and playing a cutting ball through the middle so he needs to be encouraged to do more.

And as soon as Kilkenny went off with his injury the whole midfield seemed to fall apart.

One right back, one right winger (or play Andy Robinson more) and move Snodgrass to the left and i think the team could be about right.

Unless we can get a left back a well.

First game i've been to this season so armchair supporter i definitely am, but it seems pretty obvious where the weaknesses are to me.

Think someone else has made this point elsewhere... but the long ball to Becchio does work... sometimes... we just relied on it too much, and became predictable. Our goal came from one of the only times we had players running at defenders and getting in behind them. IMO - considering the quality we had out wide (snoddy, robbo), we didn't get to the byline enough and put crosses in. We tried intricate passes too often. They got comfortable in the sense that they knew how we were going to attack them and then at the end we got desperate and lost composure (which is to be expected in the situation). Just need to mix it up a bit.
