Can't argue the facts. But wednesday means a lot more to some of us than just that. Each to their own though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't score or concede that many over 46 games. Lots of games were narrow and tight. Yep we scored 12 more goals this season then in Carlos' 1st season. We are a far more attacking team now than we were then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you question is why don't we go all out attack then the answer is obvious. It simply leaves you too open and vulnerable at the back. Teams can easily exploit this on the counterattack. There's a reason very few teams adopt this approach - I.e. it's a extremely difficult tactic to get right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitechapel Owl Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Peterborough in 2010/11 under Gary Johnson is the team I always think of with this mentality. Finished 4th in League One scoring 106 goals and conceded 75 (second highest in the entire division) they went up in the playoffs. They beat us 5-3 at their place, George Boyd scored twice for them and Mendez-Laing got one. Later in the season they beat us 4-1 at Hillsborough and Boyd scored twice again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpowl Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 First of all it’s a pretty wreckless tactic but as a side note 7 out if our last 15 league games we scored 3 goals or more 46.66% of those games I’d say that whilst maintaining your defensive duties ( debatable at times ) is outstanding 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sova Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Perhaps a more appropriate question would be why we go into our shell so much in play-offs. That's now 6 games in a row, going back to Brighton away, where we've hardly looked like scoring. OK, we've suffered some narrow defeats to some relatively good teams, but we've scored 3 goals in those 6 games. Plenty of teams score that many in just one leg.

I mean since new year we've won 3-2, 4-1, 4-1, 5-2, 4-2, 6-0, 3-2, 3-1. Are you saying we need to concede more to make them 4-3, 5-4, 6-5 so they're closer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlprince Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I think people see Man City and Liverpool scoring 100 odd goals a season and think why aren’t we doing that? Not to state the obvious but they are mega teams with world superstars funded by multi billionaires 78 goals in league one with a team made up of free and loans players is prolific tbh people who think we should sack more cos we are too defensive need to give there head a wobble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be nice next season, especially away to go and win 1-0/2-0 a few more times rather than getting caught up in these end to end basketball game type matches. Fuming at the pompey, Plymouth and Burton games. We won by more then 1 goal. Moore Out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MF TAZ Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 So what you’re saying is we actually are doing that? then we need to get rid of the older players maybe, young fast players we also need to workout how to not lose to teams that are just good at time wasting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
