Its how Pelach responds to this that will show us his potential so way to early to judge him but that second half display was horrendous. It also concerns me that after 60 mins we looked tired. Fitness levels need dramatic improvement.
We've not seen a fit squad since the early days of relegation from the PL, despite various fitness specialists joining & leaving the club. Junho for example looks like he's at the end of a hard season, not at the start of one!
Just when you think it can’t get any worse they manage to deliver another awful display. Possession based football is all well and good if you move forward with it. Passing it endlessly sideways and back again is tedious and achieves nothing other than boost the possession stats.
Where was our midfield ? I know Pelach named them on the team sheet but did they come out of the dressing room ? Non existent as far as I could tell. It’s difficult to blame any of our forwards. If the balls thirty yards away there’s not much they can do.
I watched the full game and I have to admit, on that display this could be our relegation season. Shocking performance from players and manager alike. Another performance like that on Wednesday and things could get nasty. This time the buck stops with JW and our chairman.
