The thing is that yesterday many of the "shots" were born of desperation and a bit optimistic rather than guilt edged chances. In the 2nd half I can only think of one from Shipley from his free kick that forced a good save and one (I think Westbrooke) that scuffed wide, that were real "chances". And they were both outside the box. O'Hara missed one, while through, running at full pelt but on his wrong foot, in the 1st half. These are lower league defences. They always make mistakes in the box - I think most goals come that way - but we don't get in there. Even Dabo's crosses are a bit floaty.I mentioned this to my mate yesterday.
97 shots and 3 goals is really shocking.
Plan A: In our case, the three midfielders have to be further forward. It is alright criticizing Baka, Godden or even (Saint) Max, but they are continually isolated. Shipley in particular needs to get in there.There were few chances (if any?) in the box yesterday.
Plan B: One of McNulty's qualities was all the donkey work he did in and around the box, and in a different way, it is what Bright did. O'Hara has it in him to play in the centre as part of a three in 4-2-3-1.
Plan C: Throw one or two of the Under 23's in - they could do no worse than Hiwula et al.
Plan D: Revert to 4-4-2 with two big strikers, Godden & Max, dropping Westbrooke
Plans E, F and G will come from the rest of you
I go absolutely mental these days when we get a corner I’m that desperate for a goal....Is there any way we could magnetise the ball and then get people behind the goal to attend with magnets in their pockets? If the opposition are attacking that end they all move to a corner or high into the stands?
