There are moments 18:19 - Mar 14 with 3799 viewsE17hoop

Occasionally at a match, there are moments when you know something changes.

Today it wasn't the goals, the assists, or the way we set up. It came about 30 mins in and we started singing "Backwards and sideways, everywhere we go..." There was a clear impact. Players started looking up and forward and seemed to be avoiding passing back. I'd love to state it was the fans that forced the change, but we improved from that point on.

There you go: hard evidence our away fans are more effective than our team of 83 heads of performance

There was a moment in the 1st half when QPR won a free kick just inside the Leicester half and somehow the ball ended up going back to Walsh. That might have led to the backwards and sideways song.

Yeh the crowd was about to flip. Booing the passes back to Walsh, singing 'backwards and sideways', it was getting aggy and I think a second Leicester goal would have brought about the long-coming implosion.

Then Edwards gets his head up, plays one forwards, we score, and all is right in the world again.

Just shows that maybe away fans have more idea of what the team should be doing than all the data analysts in the world.Football is a very simple game pass and move run around a lot stick a challenge in and if in doubt boot the ball forwards

Backwards and sideways feels like the inevitable retreat to 'back to basics' after being smashed 4 in a row, attempt a forward pass low in confidence and it gets interspted that could be another game over so i somewhat get the tentativeness. But what’s frustrating is when the forward pass is clearly on and we still don’t take it.

Players like Morgan and Madsen usually look to get it forward when the option is on, Varane and Hayden most often cant when it counts. Though players have to move & show they want it too, which is not always the case and leads to going backwards.

Thats why ball carriers like Poku & Chair change the dynamic when on the pitch. It doesn’t always come off but at least the intent is positive and it pushes the team up the pitch.

Often starts (short back and side) with one of the defenders gesticulating about lack of options - this time Edwards decided to do something about it instead of complaining and Vale duly took the chance.

Left Bluce ejaculating about the options.

Those possessed by devils, try and keep them under control a bit, can't you ?
