Maybe the lack of experience in the coaching team meant they forgot they had one more...... They were aware, as Frankie points out but there was still a risk of losing a late goal so I don't think they wanted to take the risk. Plus the last time we brought on someone specifically to take a penalty didn't work out too well.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,516 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I think the OP is being a bit harsh on us on last night's performance alone, as it was the exact opposite the previous Thursday when we won almost every single second ball and totally dominated the midfield area. Our issue last night was that we decided to try to replicate that but our opponent was ready for us with new tactics of their own as they have a quality manager and we eh dont. In general I to tend to think we win an average amount of second balls when Raskin and Diomande are in the middle, but Barron doesnt ever seem to be in the right place for where the ball is going to land (match awareness and pitch geography are not his strengths) and as for the likes of Bajrami, Lawrence etc, lets just not get started on them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have a point there mate. We did mop up a lot of second balls last week, but last night we looked hurried and they looked like they had time. It was totally different to last week, but it’s not an isolated situation I have seen it before and at this level it can kill you. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
