RoyMac5 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Some posters laughing at the thought this squad is good, everyone seems to be concentrating on needing a striker. But only two teams - Coventry & Wycombe have let in more goals then us. Shouldn't we concentrate on keeping a clean sheet? When was our last clean sheet, I suppose we count Barrow. Anyway build from the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 It’s mostly a lack of organisation and concentration. Both point to mental attitude rather than technical ability. For a few years now, we’ve had a side with talent but which can’t cope under pressure. I honestly think we need a coach specifically for the mental side of the game. We need more leaders and more personal responsibility. That includes the younger players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottsRam77 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Trying to play out from the back Saturday just case in point But that isn’t it Isolation a whacking percentage of the goals we concede is from us having good clean not under any pressure possession only for a misplayed pass or overplaying and next thing it’s in our net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your sarcasm is wasted. I was just thinking there is so much emphasis on not scoring/no hold-up player and the squads not good enough. That as an afterthought maybe if we were to concede less and have a solid defence - back 4 for me, it might be a better starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab a dab doo Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Why do we concede goals ? A number of reasons. 1, Are players try to overplay/play out when their not comfortable in difficult defense situations 2. Poor decision making. 3. Fear of making a mistake leading to errors. 4. Lack of hold up player in attack to relieve pressure. 5. Whole team lacking in overall confidence. 6. Tactical lost, through misunderstanding or having little believe, in them.

Anyway build from the back. The spine has broken in the space of 3 seasons Carson, Keogh, Hudds, Vydra/Martin - all gone and only one very recently replaced adequately (Marshall). Also, lack of leadership in the team - Keogh was that heartbeat and leader. We have nothing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil62uk Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I always thought BEST FORM OF DEFENSE IS ATTACK possibly BOTH should look at themselves and say why were conceeding goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway build from the back. The fact we are poor going forward puts pressure on the defence. The longer a game goes on with us not scoring the more the pressure builds. IMO we are guilty of over complicating the game and mistakes are our downfall so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
