So frustating listening to this. We dont deserve to lose this but if we cant defend and cant take our chances, then results like this will continue to happen. Both sides have had 5 on target but they had 6 shots in total while we have had 17. Add theor ZERO corners to our 7, we shouldnt have lost this game.
Last time a striker scored for us in open play (not pens) was 1st of November vs Fleetwood. Not including cup games.
Honestly, if you look at the last couple of goals Charlton scored the other day there were lots of our players making no attempt to close them down or get a tackle in. I think DC should bring Mansell back and shake things up a bit.
By our next league game, it would be over a month since a striker scored in open play. So far, the month of November in league games only... Played 5 Won 1 Drew 1 Lost 3 Thats 4 points from 15 available Attacking stats: Total shots off taget 45 Total shots on target 19 Total amount of corners 32 96 chances created but scored just 5 goals. Thats us scoring a goal every 19.2 chances created. Defending stats: Total shots off taget 26 Total shots on target 30 Total amount of corners 23 79 chances created but conceded 13 goals. Thats us conceding a goal every 5.8 chances created. Its been a bad month.
We are on a bit of a roll at the moment but totally the wrong kind of roll. Whilst our defence may be shipping goals our strikers are not coming up with the goods, certainly not in the last few games. Taylor is our only consistent striker but it ain't happening for him at the moment.
