“Edge of our box”

The hysteria around Dasilva is reaching record levels.

View attachment 39759

A still picture can show anything you want, the frames before that would have shown Dasilva playing that dodgy pass, he should have cleared it up the field

[Otis]

I quite like him, but it was a poor pass and the bottom line is it resulted in a goal.

The first one I thought he was too slow in reacting. A few others were culpable too though.

When he's further up the pitch, I think he looks decent. When he plays deeper and is in that left back kind of role, he worries me.

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Yeah he’s thought he can flick it through to Sheaf and he’s put too much on it, I don’t think Carr would complain about him trying to make that pass rather than lumping it clear or trying to switch it.

Like I say I try not to unpick every goal too much right now. We are conceding so many poor goals right now with mistakes across the board. There’s far bigger defensive issues than individuals right now. Binks Lats MvE and Thomas also all made mistakes in the build up, arguably Collins could have got down quicker for one, etc etc.

When in doubt sometimes the better option, especially when you look at the amount of players that were around him. Sheffield were actually hugely disorganised defensively at this point so to be honest it could've actually led to something.

I agree though collectively we're making far too many mistakes. We need to work on the fundamentals and get back to basics as the errors are so rudimentary.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

I don’t want to tempt fate, but Burnley have really struggled for goals this season, especially at home. They are there for the taking if we can get a goal.

Pragmatically, I reckon it’ll be 1-1 draw.

 

[Mr Panda]

With the first goal I look more at the phase leading up to Hamer receiving the ball. Torps on someone, Sheaf is pressing the pass but Eccles has allowed Hamer to drop into space. Binks then engages Hamer opening up the space to play the ball leaving Dasilva in trouble.

For me that’s an organisation issue in midfield. The best player in that position has been allowed to peel away alone between the lines.

Second goal is a mistake from Dasilva to play the ball into trouble - I’d argue that’s uncharacteristic of him though. For me those positions under pressure are actually his overwhelming strength.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Was a poor ball from Dasilva but that kind of thing will happen multiple times per game, you can't blame him for the goal.

Watching it back, could Milan have done more? He doesn't even get into a full sprint trying to get back. And Lati is like a statue defending the man that actually scores, he runs all the way around him.

Exactly what I said! Lati should have gone closer to him so he could tackle but seemed to hold a line which allowed the attacker to cut in

 

[Offhegoes]

Prefer Lati in midfield to be honest, and would like to see Kitching get a run.

I'd take that. I know you can't keep drawing games but 3 draws against 3 of the top 4, 2 of which were away is a good base to build from.

Though, as ever, I'm hopeful of more

 

[rob9872]

I've just read that they've conceded 6 goals in 16 games. Wtf am I bothering to travel

That's what fans do.

Shouldn't that stat be reversed?

?? Sorry wingy, I'm confused (easily done these days)

Oh god just realised it was their stat ha
Never a better time to undermine it then!

 

[Ashdown]

We always look like conceding at least 1, so think we need to be on the scoresheet at least once to get something here.
Lets hope with realistic expectation levels we can surprise a few people.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

They have yet to lose at home.Good omen I think.Not great scorers at home apart from 5-0 against Cardiff only scored 5 in there other 6 games.

 

[CV22SBA]

Sold out our just taken off sale?

A real good effort if we have sold out tbh and goes to show all these other fanbases that say our support will drop off after a dull/nothing season are chatting shite

Still onsale.

 

[clint van damme]

Really hope he can bring Cole in.
Think he's just what we need with our defensive issues.

 

[Otis]

That's fine. After Tuesday it will be 12 in 17 games.

I know JDS can be poor but replacing him with someone in their mid 40s won't help his confidence.

You jest, however......

Also, how did that post end up on this thread?!
Was meant for the Lampard one!

 

[CV22SBA]

Anyone recommend an away pub tomorrow night?

 

[Gibbo]

Bidwell looked very rusty. I can't see us risking him. I may be wrong though of course.

On reflection you are probably right.....

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

That's fine. After Tuesday it will be 12 in 17 games.

You'd get good odds on that.See you'd get 350-1 on 5-0 to us so 6-0 got to be 500-1

 

[ptr]

They don’t concede goals. We do. Simple as that.

4-2 us.

Norm x 3 and Rapha 1.

 

[fatso]

He really wasn’t yesterday. Looked like a competition winner.

While Dasilva looked like he lost the same competition.

 

[SBbucks]

Sorry. I worked for an American company. Its used for emphasis I guess.

So did I but I still speak English.

 

[David O'Day]

starting lb?

One over the road from the way end that takes both sets of fans

 

[Noble]

Bidwell looked very rusty. I can't see us risking him. I may be wrong though of course.

I don't think he looked fit to be honest... seemed like he was forced on due to Dasilva needing to come off, we now have two crocked left backs. Back to the Rudoni/Kitching left back experiment?

 

[blunted]

I went in 1967 didn't have to look it up, lost 2.1 first gaming in top flight, we took about 5,000 fans.

Yep I was there. Our first reality check after we thought we were invincible.

 

[JAM See]

Despite being 4th the Burnley lot really don't seem sold on Parker

I think we can get another draw tbh

Ah, Scott Parker. Gives me the opportunity to shoehorn this absolute classic from back in the day...

 

[fernandopartridge]

Quite partisan around there, the cricket club lets away fans in but not many around the ground. Though if in small groups and no colours I'm sure you'd get in somewhere else.

 

[shmmeee]

If you think Dasilva played worse than Bidders then im not sure there’s a productive conversation to be had here.

 

[fatso]

If you think Dasilva played worse than Bidders then im not sure there’s a productive conversation to be had here.

It's simple, Bidders looked shit for the 8 or 9 minutes he was on. (In his first game back from injury, and with minimal time to warm up).
where as Dasilva looks shit in every game he plays, he's a week link in an allready poor defence, and is constantly targeted by opponents who've obviously done their homework on us.
