HOSTAGE IN PYONGYANG Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 1 hour ago, Holmowl said: And Fletch. Lethal with good crosses. Even long-throws! Its only recently I realised Pudil has a great throw? He should be on throw in duty everytime we get in the opponents half. But he isn't. It simple stuff like this that gets my goat.

I remember Gary Gardner did it once when he was on loan under Stuart Gray. Can't remember who scored it may have been Lee so not technically a striker but he was in the position.

Signing players who show an extreme adeptness at a certain skill.......and then in a way which completely neutralises that skill assest. "We're signing John Sheridan and Glenn Hoddle......now...what I want us to do as a team, is completley bypass midfield" Yes, agree again.

I've seen planety of teams that play without putting crossed in the box. Teams that play it through the middle of the park. I just can't fathom why we're trying to do that with two men. One who'd more of a defender and the other who fetches the ball off our centre half 70 yards away from their goal. If we're not going to get the ball in the box. Then I'd sacrifice a striker.

owlZfan84 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I've never seen a player look so demoralised and drained of confidence. It's an absolute crime we've done that to Rhodes, and it's all CC's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shezzas left peg Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) The problem we created for our selves is simple and glaringly obvious when Nando plays up front as part of our two. Bannan, Wallace, Jones, Hutchinson never bust a gut to get in the box it's nose bleed territory for them, so by not playing abdi or Lee nobody breaks into the opposition box. This inevitably means since Nando is no threat in the air, we have one striker, be it Rhodes, Fletcher, Winnal trying to compete for balls coming in against 2/3 CB's depending on opposition formation and tracking back midfielders and full backs, so our striker is constantly outnumbered 4 sometimes 5/6 to one and easy to cover. Without midfielders breaking into the oppositions box which is how we're playing/ personnel on the pitch. It's not just about getting balls in the box you need numbers also.

trevdi9 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 as an ex striker i thrived on crosses into the box , just saying like ,To score the goals you need to be given good delivery , this is a trait that often seems none existant at SWFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldGigsChris Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Owlstalk was split into two camps when we signed him: 1) Fantastic, as long as we provide him with service 2) Waste of money, as we won't provide the service he needs It's just not difficult to understand how to make it work.

pgmetcalf Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 With the exception of Rhodes nobody can get on the end of a cross and, I dunno 99 times out of 100 the defenders will head the cross away anyway - I'm not a fan of crosses. I'm not saying don't cross the ball in the box, but don't do it on virtually every single attack like we have been doing for the last 10 years or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
