latemodelchild Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Again, we fail to foul a player who goes on to score. Every other team does it. It happens to us every game. We don't do it. That goal was horrific from the second brown touched the ball and it sums up our season. We go down because of that goal and many many more like it. I'm still raging about how garbage we are. In fact, I'm not raging, I'm starting to not care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does but you’ve still to put the ball in the net, had that been us with a last minute attacking opportunity with the goal keeper in a similar position it would have offered up the top right hand corner of the Kop.

edwinowl Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 The defender needed to show him left and take him towards the corner. Instead he let him cut inside and score. Shocking defending 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhollywood Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Wildsmith's positioning is awful. The amount of times we have conceded due to it is bonkers. It's worse when we get a free kick, both him and Dawson seem to leave massive gaps. It's as if they think they've got massive springs in their legs and can Flash Gordon type reflexes. I'd personally be getting rid of every keeper in the summer and getting someone new in for league 1. 9 hours ago, sharrowowl said: Does Wildsmith know where the goal is? 9 hours ago, McRightSide said: Wildsmith’s positioning looks a touch iffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busmansholiday Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Moore needs to get his philosophy on defending across to this lot pdq. When he was playing for the Dingles in a derby match against Donny he took one for the team knowing he'd be sent off for the tackle. Stopped a breakaway attack that would have seen Donny equalise, Dingles went on to win. It's not rocket sceince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevan Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 The defending by Harris was pathetic. He just backed off instead of putting in a challenge. It was SO obvious their attacker was going to cut in onto his right foot for a shot on goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toooldforthis Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 13 hours ago, sharrowowl said: Does Wildsmith know where the goal is? He's in a good position cos the full back has the wrong shape to defend against the player on the outside and he hasn't got the near post covered either to stop that shot. No player threw their body in front of the shot. It leaves Wildsmith with 3 things to cover: The through ball to the man outside The shot to his near post The shot to his far post He can only effectively cover one of those three properly, he's playing the averages here...it's not hard to see if you've ever played at a level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club had the 'foresight' to give two young keepers long contracts as soon as they got into the first team without either proving they were good enough to cement down the role long-term yet only offered Shaw 1-year and blame others when better-positioned clubs steal in and make better offers. Nobody will be buying Dawson or Wildsmith for significant money and unfortunately they haven't proven they will be the long-term answer for us. It is clear Shaw would have been an asset to the team next season. I don't think we have lost out on a huge sum of money for him as he could have gone elsewhere for a relatively small amount in a tribunal if he had wanted to but by only giving him 1-year last summer we have lost someone who would be a first team regular next season. There just doesn't seem to be a joined up approach to what we are doing at any level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighworthOwl Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 The odd thing was we spent the previous 90mins giving away daft cheap free kicks! It’s the same as WBA last season (?) just trip him. Take the card, take the point! All other teams seem more streetwise than us. Even in this game at 1-1 Rotherham’s keeper kills the momentum faking injury and there players buy cheap fouls. We on the other hand trot alongside them all the way to our penalty box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowbelly Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 The worst thing is we played the last 10 minutes with 3 strikers and god knows how many wingers and still only managed to put 3 crosses into the box. Frustrating as fück to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
