Should have heard me when I got home.
mowbray sounded quite dispondant
I understand that - you read the post, it's clearly not the point I'm making.
The fact we showed we can play well is a positive out of an otherwise despressing night. We proved we still have have the ability to perform, it's a platform, so it's a step in a positive direction, rather than a 90 minute battering with zero hope of anything different to come.
Im attempting to be optimistic and clutch at straws, let me please!
Basically, the normal thing is to score when you are on top.
You will always get the breakaway out of the blue goals of course, but both teams usually get a period of being on top in games. What you have to do is to make it count when you have the upper hand.
Does make you question why we've gone for players like Fortune & Henderson - particularly when they seem to spend too much time outside the box and lack the pace and skill to make a difference from wider areas anyway.We're probably a better footballing team than most in this division but there are obviously teams a lot more efficient than us.
So form can't change? Is that what you're saying
They were missing their two CB's too.
We didn't annihilate themYou could tell we ahniliated them. They werent missing their keeper though (MOTM)

We had 13 shots on target
Always wanted TM to give Henderson a decent run out.... Now I know why he didn't. Only the keeper to beat and falls flat on his face. Is it only me that noticed when Murphy hit a couple of good shots on target he just stood there rooted to the spot and never made any attempt to follow up? when he hit the post in the scond half, if he was alert enough, he could have followed it up, but just stood there rooted. Fleck nearly cost us big time on 3 different occasions, Bigi got pushed too easily off the ball. Disagree with one poster about Lorentzson, I thought he had a fair game.The young lad Jones is going to be massive, going to be a great asset to the Club... Well not really, SISU will sell him at the first decent opportunity they get.
Their keeper made 2-3 good saves. I've had to rewatch the game.most of our shots on target were grass cutters and most of his saves routine.We had 13 shots on target
Their keeper was man of the match and had a stormer
We screwed up defensively it reminded me of the crew robbery in the JPT
Yep. Absolutely nothing like the Crewe game. We dominated, but most certainly did not annihilate them and I would suggest Don, that you do what Stupot has done and revisit the game.Their keeper made 2-3 good saves. I've had to rewatch the game.most of our shots on target were grass cutters and most of his saves routine.
We dominated for 35 minutes, it was nothing like the Crewe JPT game go back and compare the stats.
Vs Crewe JPT
25 shots to 7
57% possession to 43%
15 corners to 3.
Vs Peterborough
22 shots to 17
51% possession to 49%
10 corners to 9
Yes we had more shots on target but it was nowhere near the annihilation performance you suggest. We had a good 35 mins against a poor Peterborough and as CCFC says they e there for the taking.

What's a grass cutter?

Or a goatA machine that cuts grass... Usually a electric one that hovers, or could be a petrol one, or even a mechanical one.

The keeper played very well. Everyone has agreed on that. No-one is saying he didn't.Pick your stats Stu
I said it reminded me of the Crew Game not identical a similar pattern
13 on target verses 6. (54% more)
3 saves verses 11
1 clearance off the line verses 0
Post hit twice verses 0
So their keeper got man of the match for routine saves he would have been criticised for not making.
Why the hell did he get man of the match then.
Yes Rickets smash was a grass cutter
Coles pushed over the bar was a grass cutter
Murphys smashing against the post was a grass cutter
MAF's smashing against the near post was a grass cutter
MAF's cleared off the line by excellent defending was a grass cutter?
I would hate to be a fan of s team we do dominate against if this wasn't that!
