Free kicks (1 Viewer)

how many needless free kicks do our forwards and midfield give away every match, they kill any momentum in the game and atmosphere .......someone needs to have a word nazon is the worst culprit

Nazon was very guilty of that yesterday in another ill disciplined performance from him again.

McNulty will get most of the stick, but Nazon was diabolical yesterday.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I thought you were going to say our free kicks are terrible as all our set pieces are dreadful

Nazon will avoid any flack as he became a fans favourite very quickly like JJ. The blinkers come on.

Nazon has been poor and wasteful since Accrington who was possibly thrown back in too soon after globe trotting.

Before then he was the only players looking like scoring yet that's to our detriment now as he shoots from poor areas when the pass is needed. Your not gonna score with a wall of players stood 5 yards off you.

I'm a fan of a player shooting from distance but not when 10 men are behind the ball in a 18 yard box

You can mostly thank JJ for that.

It also concedes possession to opponents who we are outplaying and can lead to goals they would not otherwise have created,

Even more so against FGR when it gave them an excuse to time waste

Only Port Vale conceded more fouls than us in the whole division yesterday and they were away at Exeter. We gave away 17 fouls, which for a team who dominated is a terrible stat.

Not even decent fouls either.

On the same subject, how poor are our free kicks? When was the last time we looked dangerous from a direct free kick? Even Jones seems to have stopped shooting from ones we get now instead choosing to cross all the time!

I'm gonna give JJ some credit actually, he scored from his own free kick v Exeter I think it was.

It was the usual shit free kick from JJ, it hit the wall. However he quickly picked it up, paused, sounds familiar... jinked left quickly, great burst of pace and whipped the ball into the box, left foot of course and it went in off the Exeter player.

Yes went in of the Exeter player.

 

[ccfcway]

what we suggesting, drop Nazon and JJ ?

 

[Speedies_Chips]

I think it comes through frustration - which is not any defence. Nazon particularly guilty. I think our set pieces, both corners and free kicks, need work. Can't remember our last goal from one!

We are also terrible at throw-ins. 9 times out of 10, we lose possession from our own throw-in. Why don't the coaching staff work on this. It's basics.

Agreed. Very often players who take a throw in then receive it straight back. We make doing that look extremely difficult. Watching them is like being in a dream where I'm playing football on a pitch knee deep in a river of snot and everything is 10 times more difficult than it should be.

On a positive note our corners were whipped in far better when Jones went off .

 

[Sbarcher]

Noticed Colchester had several throw ins which went directly to their players in the central area with space in front of them. Very effective to go forward. We get it stuck under our feet after the return pass to the thrower.

Young Shipley took ownership of the dead all/free kicks when he came on and his deliveries were better than anyone else’s in the team.

 

[Nick]

I can't figure out how a person who gets paid to play football day in, day out should ever struggle to beat the first man on a corner or free kick every time. They should be able to put it on the penalty spot pretty much every time with pace.

It's Beckham and Ronaldo's fault. No-one just crosses the ball anymore - everyone tries to do something funky with it in the air.

 

[ceetee]

Some of our players need to realise that, for very good reasons, Beckham and Ronaldo were not playing in Div 4, but they are

But still very poor

we are division 4 and if they were any better they would not be playing with us?

Even in division four they should be able to cross the ball, they need to go back to basics and just cross it into the area not these corner to the edge of the box to a bloke who gets one goal a season or Beavon who can't even manage that

In the first minute Jones went past his man on the right and put a cross straight to McNulty's forehead
Unfortunately he directed it straight to their keeper
It's pretty obvious that we need to score early against the teams who park the bus against us but a combination of nervous finishing and desperate defending has prevented it
We have decent players. I think they'll click soon.
Luton will come out to attack. It will be interesting to see if we can exploit this on the break as our defence is good and there is pace in the team

Got to be honest missed the first three minutes but we have to score early but we don’t have enough urgency early on in the game.
