Questions for Carrick today

Ridiculous people keep thinking these are sensible questions to ask in a presser.


“Michael, how do you plan on trying to attack Millwall on Saturday? Just so we can let them know”

I presume you don’t think fans have any right for an insight into the Coach’s general thinking on tactics such as constant late substitutions? Questions can be answered without talking specific tactics about a coming game. I mean I’m sure the opposition wont research past traits anyway.

I suppose fans have no right to a view and shouldn’t have a desire to understand situations that genuinely concern them, we should just accept whatever is served up and just sing Stevie Gibson is king.

Good job you won’t be asking the questions. Poor officiating didn’t cost us the Leeds game, we barely threatened them. What makes you think Brynn is our safest option?

Watching him at games, and also the save he made against Oxford Utd at the players feet was very good to say the least. He handles the ball much better and unafraid to catch it. There isn't a gulf between them granted , but I feel he should never have been dropped.
But he has and now has to wait his turn, it'll come.
 
Re the decisions on Tuesday. Goals change games. If we get a penalty and score it then game dynamic changes.
 
Viv, its 15 wins out of our last 33 home games but I do agree that is nowhere near good enough.
On aother point I think the defence as a whole looker calmer with Brynn in goal, Dieng seems to be very erratic this season causing whole defence to be nervous.

Dieng had a good game against Leeds.

Unfortunate with the opening goal and nothing he could about the other two.

He made some big saves.

We still conceded 4 with Brynn against 2 crap teams and a workmanline Blackburn.

Blackburns goal was offside:) very workman like are above us and beat Leeds and us with an offside goal and have 5 wins on the bounce.

I don't think I will get to the conference today as I don't expect to finish the fanzine in time.
What I asked about substitutions was about how tactics must have changed significantly with 5 subs.
I noticed people criticising Carrick one match for making changes too late then at Norwich for making them too early. Those same changes at QPR worked a treat.
But - have we forgotten being able to bring on 5 players and the opposition bringing on 5 as well surely is a massive difference. It is half the outfield team that can be changed. How on earth do you ensure that you keep the same balance, discipline and shape? You suddenly face loads of fresh legs but how do you keep up the intensity or step up a gear with so many players finding their feet together?

Nobody criticised him for early subs vs Norwich, it was that he subbed off Conway on a hat-trick and Ben Doak, our two best players on the day and did nothing to try and see the game out once 3-1 up.

The subs were made around 70 minutes in, which they almost always are regardless of game state and how we need to manage the game.

5 subs is an absolute waste of time under Carrick, by the time he makes his first one the others have incredibly little time to make an impact.
 
The subs are interesting. I haven’t checked properly so it could tittle-tattle but people said McKenna at Ipswich would routinely switch his front three after 60-65mins last season, which allowed him to play a really intense, aggressive, hard-running pressing style and keep it going for longer by using his subs in that way. It’s an interesting theory, it would be good to know if it’s true. It’s a very imaginative way of using your bench.

Yes, but it is only worthwhile if you're not hugely dropping the quality on the pitch
