Who has been missing all these chances then, Nuhiu, Rhodes, Winnall and Forestieri, have only had peripheral roles, so maybe Fletcher? Difference between scoring opportunities and genuine chances.

That stat is pretty meaningless unless you know how they tally it up. We talking clear cut chances or mishmash of clear and half chances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I for one am sick of seeing wingers that cut inside at SWFC. It's ok at the top level, but it's not for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costello 77 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Stats can show anything.. you watch and see he's gone off the boil lately.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentwalker Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 the one thing that truly baffles me about Harris is the fact he's right footed yet he can cross, shoot and pass better with his left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 By the way, I like Harris, and think that he’s a useful addition to the squad. For me though, I see no mileage in playing two out and out wingers, especially if it weakens the midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is *Khads* doesn't usually cut inside. He prefers to try and cross on his left rather than work it onto his right. Nothing wrong with being able to use his left foot, but I swear there was a game recently where he was playing on the right and trying to cut in on his left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Put 2 men on Harris when he gets the ball and he struggles. He needs help. If we got players closer to him they could either draw players away or give him a pass option. If he's out there on his own his only chance is to beat 2 men. Give the guy half a yard and he can do his stuff unless the FB is faster than him. If that's the case forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help create an overload. Fox is solid, but he is very much a defender first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent cross in the first half for the Reach chance, but that was your lot today. A chance we should have scored from, our best opportunity of the game. Also broke to win a free-kick in a great position in the 2nd half which we did nothing from. It isn't much of a return from 60 minutes or so I grant you but he created our best chance of the game so what does that say about everyone else?

Yesterday he created an opportunity that attacking players thrive upon, Reach met it with a header that failed to trouble the keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If reach scores, which he should do we could walk away with a 1-0 win thanks to a fine cross from Harris. He has looked a bit burnt out recently, he hasn't played as much competitive football as he has done this season for a while. Got to remember that unless the team is set up to counter attack, wingers/wide midfielders need the team to be playing in the opposition half with intent in order to be effective regularly. A midfield of Bannan and Pelupessy do not provide that opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Right footed, but prefers to play on the left, but is then weirdly even worse when he cuts in on his right instead of going down the line on his weaker foot. Also on those chances created stats. Would love to compare the first 10 or so games to the next 10 or so games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofbert2 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Wingers are notorious for dipping in and out of form. Murphy doing alright recently having been poo while Harris has gone off the boil. Standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash77 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Reach has several assists (on the left where he has played far too little) from good 1st time left footed balls in, after making a clever run behind the rb giving cb's no time to get in position. Harris never seems to do this, he wants to run with it from deeper for longer but is predictable, often running into trouble with the rb and gives cb's time to prepare, making it very hard to create anything. He doesn't even put anything in on his stronger right either for some reason. Murphys not great at crossing either, so they have less assists between them than reach, only 3 in 50 odd apps. Reach doesnt need to beat a man unlike harris or murphy who rarely put 1st time balls in. We're clearly struggling in the final 3rd so with new signings available and ff back, its time to try a new front 3 with harris and murphy benched imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
