Showed again tonight A 'beast' wasn't the problem tonight IMO. Simple decision making was the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the odd error is because of having to play with a midfielder as a partner and I know Loovens was back today but he's had to adjust to being with him again. I have seen at least 3 goals where he has been stood watching. You can't switch of in this division or else you get punished. As we were shown once again today. Im not sure if they are being told to mark zonal or if it is just the players making bad decisions but it's happening way too often, every time a ball goes into the box I'm expecting is to concede.

Crosses ar goi g to come into our box and so far we are failing to deal with them. It's the same gaping holes every time with people stood gazing Problem with their second. Westwood didn't come for it, but he didn't stay either. Not his best game. His shot stopping is excellent. Positioning average and distribution poor more often than not.

kidc77 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 He can't come for the second it's too far out. It should be bread and butter for lees or even Palmer it was just a floating cross put between too defenders who were fast asleep. The he scary thing though for me is it is happening nearly every game. If it was a one off I wouldn't be too worried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coreyswfc Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I've been slagged off on numerous occasions when I said lees is overrated. He's switches off and gets dominated by decent sized striker. 10-15m hahahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full fathom five Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Why do we have so many fans who seem to over react Wether we win or draw???? I blame the Internet cos a few years back they would have shown themselves up in the pub or have got a crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schoolboy stuff Were they ball watching, or did they play the offside trap perfectly only to be let down by Loovens not doing so quickly enough?

Westfield Owl Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Overrated player by so many on here. What was he doing for Birmingham's winner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they were ball watching...... Again...... Watch it back a few times mate. How many times do we let them get away with leaving gaping holes for other teams to stroll onto crosses before we start to question?

kidc77 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) So you want our keeper darting out to a drifted cross 8/9 yards out when we have two defenders there so the keeper has to do the defenders job? ok then Edited September 17, 2016 by kidc77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times do we let them get away with leaving gaping holes for other teams to stroll onto crosses before we start to question? Could be looked at both ways though couldn't it. If Loovens moves a few inches further forward with them it's goal disallowed and well played defence and Lees and Palmer share the plaudits. Or, as you say, they let the man go and we look inept at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codrowe Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 dont upset the happy clappers by criticising Lees. He has been really poor this season and cost us a few goals. He is playing like he has no competition, oops because of poor recruitment this season he has no competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it is happening every game we just ball watch and allow players to run into gaping holes from hopeful crosses. I I wouldn't mind if they were all world class balls fizzing across causing nightmares. We are not defending abc balls into the box it really is that simple.

I wouldn't take it so seriously - the lines are fine and most desperately want us to do well. It's a very passionate sport with no real middle ground.
