Popular Post areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted April 14 Popular Post Share Posted April 14 Watching at the match, it all happened so quickly - one moment there seemed to be no great danger, the next they were through one-on-one with Beadle. Having watched it back since, I still don't really understand how such experienced players left us so hopelessly exposed down our right-hand side. To me, it looks like Ihiekwe had to try to win the ball, but Vaulks didn't track the runner from midfield at the same time as Palmer came charging out of defence, leaving a gaping hole where he should have been. Overall, a terrible goal to concede, especially given its probable implications for our club. 24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philb125 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Just look at their centermids vs ours. Ambling back and no real sense of urgency. Then once they’re passed the first set of resistance it’s open season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddle93 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 And Beadle doing his usual step forward, step back dance just take a couple of steps forward to narrow angle and he saves that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SiJ Posted April 14 Popular Post Share Posted April 14 How on earth did we manage to get ourselves so exposed down the left side. A nice passing move and they're pretty much one on one with our keeper. The goal that probably relegated us. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhollywood Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Abysmal from Vaulks. That clip sums up so many of our senior pros this season. Just inexplicably quit mid game and switch off. No wonder we've never left bottom 3. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeyswfc Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Non league stuff. Thought Beadle should have done better too. Too many times we just give up tracking. Defensively dire against a really poor Stoke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshy Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Also, the guy who scored had the option of a sideways pass and it’s an empty net. Very poor by us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, we should be the one compact, not giving an inch. If you watched that goal with no idea as to the context/score, you'd think Stoke were leading and had just done us on a counter. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel. Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Also did we not have the option to let them try and break us down at that stage and counter them? Rather than vice versa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 keeping it tight isn't a tactic that these players can achieve - too many simply switch off at some point(s). 15 mins to run the clock down, as Plymouth and Blackburn did, but we go missing at a crucial point and then that's our season done. It's naive and inexcusable to leave yourselves that open in this game, at that point in such important circumstances. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) Honestly, I thought the ref was going to blow up for a foul or offside when they pretty much went clean through. I just assumed something must of happened for them to suddenly be one on one with our keeper. But it turns out the reason was we are crap.

GoodyOwl Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 It was a well worked goal tbh. Good passing and one touch play and the finish was class. Defensively we were caught out, and at such a critical time. There was also a move 5 minutes later when they completely ripped us open and luckily the ball hit their own player or else that was 2-1. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd forgotten about that. From where we were sat, it looked like it was going in until it hit their player. From being so on top and limiting Stoke to very few meaningful attacks for the first hour, we suddenly completely lost control of that game, didn't we? The ball was no longer sticking in the final third, we weren't building attacks as we had in the first half, and we allowed the game to become stretched (which was probably inevitable at 1-1, but shouldn't have been when we were winning 1-0).

New Zealand Owls Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Easy to say as an armchair fan but he telegraphed the finish by opening his body up, Beadle should've taken another step to his left to anticipate it. However in all honestly we need to be scoring more than once at home against a poor side.take a 2-0 lead and there is no way stoke come back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Meadows Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Our shape is horrendous but thought at the time Jeremy should have got a hand to it and looking at that still think so 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodyOwl Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Its difficult to say whether he should have gotten a hand to it or not. Think it was one of them where the ball had gone past him before he was able to react. I wouldn't put any blame on Beadle. The defence once again left him open. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
