Guest Sheff Owl Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 As the title says - totally unacceptable. Defence/Keeper - Utterly Brilliant, Superb, Fantastic. Midfield/Strikers - Utter Shambles. (although some credit due to Semedo and Helan today in patches.) Obviously a clean sheet is always good but we were very slow today, even Westwood seemed to take an age with goal kicks and that was from the first few minutes.

Cersei Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Same amount of league goals at riverside as s6 is a better stat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeonLeon Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 More concern with our strikers defending than them getting into decent positions in the opposition box. Stevie May chases a winger back 25 yard into his own half then needs to sprint 70 yards to get on the end of the counter attack. It's terrible...

Guest Sheff Owl Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 That's a big issue, although strikers defending from the front is good, we are finding our strikers in midfield and midfielders on the toes of the defenders. Then on quick counter attacks are none existent because nobody is up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkfieldowl14 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 That is a horrifically bad stat. It's going to get even worse when Bournemouth And Rotherham come to s6 Because they are our next two home games. :st2: :st2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sheff Owl Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'm actually not sure where the goals are coming from. Our Corners are rubbish and Free Kicks ain't much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Willie Henderson Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Season ticket holder and dint go today because of our pitiful home form, just couldn't see us gettin much today and by the sounds of it we were hanging on second half! The season is slowly going the way we all expected it to, we'll finish bottom 8 , after a good start and a substandard strike force things are frustrating to say the least! Will the tide ever turn for this club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JonTheOwl66 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I've said this for ages now and got stick but I said our good form was largely down to wonder goals and set-pieces. Nobody listened. Now they've dried up we're struggling again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Owl Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I reckon we might finally nick a goal against Rotherham, but until then we'll just have to sit tight... The thing is, in the thread about CoG people are turning their noses up at him but he scored 15 goals for Barnsley at this level. He's very average but we're that desperate for goals which just aren't happening at the moment. Something's got to change, as much as it sounds like reverse logic, perhaps taking a striker out of the formation and packing an extra man in midfield in a 4-2-3-1 might work, as there's no point having 2 strikers on the pitch when they're completely detached from their midfield.

swfc-dan Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Thats a stat that should raise the eyebrows and rightly so. Been worried about our attack at home for ages. We have no identity to the way we attack, often it's too slow and laboured and we lack any sort of quality from wide areas and don't create through the middle either. Grey needs to figure out how he wants to get us to attack cos at the moment I haven't a clue what the idea is. Away from home we can sit back and counter attack, that doesn't work at all at home. We need to see Drenthe, good bad on indifferent as he's someone who does look to attack. Also think Maguire should be dropped and someone else brought in on the right, either Hope or another loan option. Or we play a completely different system, maybe a diamond with GTF behind May and Nuhiu. Staggering how different the home/away goal record is, and home/away form in general. And it's the wrong way around, which is something we have been used to at Hillsborough over the years though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Our home form is embarrassing. Don't blame fans for staying away. The crowds will only get worse the longer this goes on. Presently our good start is propping us up in mid table, but we are now only 3 points above the botoom six and we are slowly being reeled in. A long hard winter is on the horizen and loan signings of players like TAylor fletcher isnt going to may the task any easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
