After suffering a 0-3 defeat at home against HamKam, Per-Mathias Høgmo did not hesitate to admit that RBK does not play well at the moment.
"We have been disappointingly bad lately and we can not live with that," the RBK-coach concluded right after the game.
Høgmo went on explaining that they have tried to develop the playing style from last year, which involves playing the ball more directly through the team. Now Høgmo has realised that the attempts to play the way he wants, is to attempt something out of reach for RBK at the present.
"This does not suffice. Today we are not good enough to play the way we want to play, and we therefore get punished for all the mistakes we do. We are not secure enough with the ball at the moment," Høgmo aknowledged whilst also admitting that all the trying and failing does not get the team results.
"Today we started defensively to create chances on counter-attacks, but since we get a goal against early and have to pressure on them instead. And as we have seen earlier, we are not good enough at that, when we are behind at Lerkendal," Høgmo said.
The tabloid press is very occupied with the players' meeting Høgmo have announced before the training session on Monday. rosenborg.info does not think that this is anything extraordinary, and meetings after games are rather the rule, not the exception.
