Carl Sagan Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 What this game tells me more than anything is how desperately we need Sibley back. Without him we have so little guile and creativity around the opposition box. Would have made a big difference today.

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Why is it that no matter who is involved these kinds of errors keep happening? It's absolutely maddening. Rammy03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walkley Ram Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Never seen us dominate a game so much, yet look so unlikely to get anything out of it. Get that striker in Warne. Hector was the best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTinMan Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Bottom line is players will make mistakes and I can give Wildsmith a pass he's generally very reliable and had an excellent season last season, I'm sure he'll bounce back, early days for Bradley, but mistakes are magnified and indeed are more likely to happen because you're under more pressure in the game constantly when you don't have much of a goalscoring threat at the other end and that's not just a goalscorer its a creator from midfield. At the moment we have neither and we're desperate on numbers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without him we have so little guile and creativity around the opposition box. Would have made a big difference today. We still need some energy and creativity in midfield, and a consistent goal threat up front. That was true last season and hasn't changed just because we've signed a load of defenders and wing backs. Losing Knight and McGoldrick hasn't exactly helped. This isn't the end of the world and there were a lot of positives, but hopefully it's also a wake up call to Clowes as well as Warne Hector was the best and Rammy03 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambam Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 It’s pretty inexcusable to not bring in a replacement for McGoldrick. Obviously there are not enough goals in this team. 30,000 turning up in this league is unbelievable support. Where is their reward? Miggins and Hector was the best 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Good: energy and pressing and forward intent. Very early crosses. Great goal from Fozzy. Moved the ball forward very quickly, often putting the opposition on the back foot. Bad: two defensive errors and often cut open at the back. Real lack of guile, creativity and technique around their box. Slow subs. Continue like that and it will be a very long season, not threatening the leaders.

It probably doesn't help his case that he replaced Ward, who is a good crosser and showed it today. I agree Wilson's crossing wasn't very good, but nor were 99% of the crosses we put in last season. It's not been a recent strength of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 It wasn't great but two errors were our downfall. Reading some of the comments you'd think we're doomed to relegation by Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
