Can shove a lot of things in Rhodes direction but not having great movement in and around the box should never be one of them. He played up top on his own that first half, CW was lucky not to be subbed at HT. More damning is our lack of creativity and ability to put a decent ball into the box. Three decent balls in and we scored from one and hit the post with one of the others. Two from Da Cruz as well. Um er, I did say sharp movement. Rhodes should have scored when Bannan put him through but he was slow onto it enabling the keeper to smother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneeyedmilkman Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 We didnt look too bad, and I dont mind 3 at the back, but I think a better team than forest will catch us out playing two wingers at wing back. I wouldnt be against trying a 3-4-3, with reach and odubajo playing wing back and allowing Murphy and Harris to use their energy at the top end of the pitch, getting at the opposite's full backs.

Blue and white Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I honestly expected getting our arses served to us on a plate, however it sounds like we played well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are using Bannan, I’d expect more than him occasionally playing a nice diagonal to the winger.... yesterday crossing was clearly not working for us so expected us to play occasionally through middle but despite that almost working for Rhodes we seemed to persist with going down the flanks.

Yes, agree that we concentrated too much on the flanks, but the movement from the front two was too slow. To be fair, Rhodes was timing his runs better than at anytime since he’s been here, but because he’s lost a yard of pace, he wasn’t much of a danger He was never really quick in his heyday, but made good use of that little bit of extra pace, allied to the good timing of his runs, and clinical finishing Personally I don’t think he can recapture that at this level, but there was definitely an improvement on the pre lockdown performances, from Rhodes, and the team in general Edited June 21, 2020 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Thought Bannan, Luongo and Lee kept the ball well in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 There were lots. Shocking bad luck - Wickham’s super header against the post followed by that amazing goal-line block followed by the sucker punch breakaway. I agree with Monk - we were excellent apart from the final delivery and finish. But of course that is vital. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DobbinTheDonkey Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 To be fair to Rhodes he made a few runs to the front post, taking a defender with him. This created space at the back post. He also manages to get in between defenders before making his slow run. The intelligence is there but the his pace is lacking. The one he missed was unfortunate but I cannot see another player on our books who would make that run. Wickham and Rhodes are who we have, let's hope they have enough to keep us up.

Doctor Duran Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Dissappinted with our lack of threat from corners and we have been for some time.. we don't attack the ball in the box enough.. our centre halfs are little threat in that area (Reda/Rob Jones/Llera type needed).
