I'm struggling to believe what I'm reading in this thread. We play crap in an empty ground, crap away from home in half full or full grounds with seats and also some standing areas and we always seem to lose everytime a big crowd comes to the Ricoh as well. It's a lame excuse and I can't believe Robins said it. It's the first ridiculous statement I've heard from him.
What about in the good old days when we had a reserve team did all the players complain at Highfield Road when trying to pass forward towards the East Stand and the all Sky Blue background? I'm sorry but people have different coloured legs and faces and the don't stand motionless next to the seats in a kit painted like a seat trying to blend in. Whats the excuse for them not being able to control the ball, is it blending in with the clouds?
No team in history has survived relegation on the basis of goals from one player. Last season if memory serves the lowest team to survive scored 65 goals.
So at the present rate (with McGoldrick getting half the goals total of the team) McGoldrick is going to have to score a MINIMUM of 30 goals for us (even assuming he stays).
Currently he is scoring roughly 1 in 2, so at that rate he COULD potentially score just over 20 goals.
Goals need to come from other players - It's that simple!
Oh dear you just answered astutes arguments.
My oh my you have never played football have you? Lol
You never heard of anyone adapting to the conditions as a game wears on?
Seriously? :thinking about:
Rubbish. Keepers have more time than anyoneI am a GK. I am used to picking out players at the other end of the pitch with a quick glance. Players don't blend in with the background as you are teying to say they do.
Different sport. IncomparibleSeriously though, when a bowler runs up in a test match wearing all white does the batsman not see him coming because of the side screen?
A few weeks ago our poor play was down to people booing and now it's the seats. How about the players, although it may be an odd concept?

Not so much crossfield passing. For instancel making a pass in rugby you instinctively look behind or sideways and people are normally in the same placeDifferent eyesight you mean?
Suppose it is the same when rugger players are covered in mud. You can't see them at all.
No-one is saying it did.
There were at least 4 passes in the first half though hit to the flanks where the ball was nowhere near the player and went straight out for throw-ins. No-one is talking about shots on goal, they are talking about picking out players with a background of sky blue empty seats behind them.
And Astute, just don't see the argument there at all. Sometimes you have to adapt to the conditions. What the hell does that have to do with teams sometimes starting well and fading and sometimes starting poorly and improving? We are talking about different things.
Sometimes you start poorly and improve, sometimes you start well and fade and sometimes you have adapt to the conditions, be that the wind, the rain, muddy or bumpy pitch or playing in the ground itself.
You are talking about the first 2 scenarios, I am talking about the latter.
Really?? Come on manI remember playing wembley doubles at school, we could pick each other out by looking up and seeing their face as we all had uniform on.
