WBA are not adopting the ten man park the bus behind the wall policy..
Same could be said of Spurs when we played them. See what I mean? Back to the original point though; have you seen any away performance in the league since Christmas that has got you genuinely excited? Somewhere we've had a real go at the opposition, like Newcastle have done (so far) today, notwithstanding the goal they've let in while I was typing this.Sky Blue said:jimharri said:About as immense as we were at the Hawthorns, actually.Sky Blue said:Yes, Newcastle were immense at White Hart Lane a few weeks back...
No...they put in one of the worst away performances of the season. West Brom didn't venture out of their own half against us, they've been wide open in this one.

Hate to say it, but don't teams park the bus when they're playing the vermin? Yet they have a better away record than us.

And i was talking about comparing performances earlier in the season (which are gone, and not much point harping back to them) with the way we have been performing on our travels recently. Perhaps I didn't make that clear in my earlier posts. If that is the case I aplogise. Still doesn't alter the fact that we don't go out and impose ourselves on the opposition enough.Sky Blue said:jimharri said:Same could be said of Spurs when we played them. See what I mean?

Spurs were at home....we are talking about away performances ?
We completely dominated the game at West Brom....Teams set up entirely differently when they play us. Are you not reading what's been said?...

Then shouldn't we be a bit more flexible when it comes to tactics, according to the opposition? Or is Bob a ''Plan A'' manager/coach, with no alternative plan?samharris said:jimharri said:Hate to say it, but don't teams park the bus when they're playing the vermin?

The scum adopt totally different styles of play to us which is more adapted to breaking teams down..they have had years of experience at this we have had 6 months... The last 2 Newcastle attacks were against 3 defenders..all in the last ten mins..
