As long as we don't play anymore games on SKY before the end of the season (and no more home games) then we should be fine...
Bit of bite lacking too. Huddersfield were kicking chunks like many others out of KLP in the first half and the team just seems to accept it
That is what gets me perhaps more than anything else. We need some players who get stuck in and can dish it out with a little more finesse than Eaves.
Eaves only does it to players much smaller then him. He was entirely rattled by their 2 centre halves. He wraps his hands round them and then expects a foul when they do it back
It’s not just the free kicks that someone can score direct with. You need a couple of players like your centre halves who can convert corners and free kicks into goals. We just are not seeing that. That’s one of the priorities for me next year. A nice experienced really tough centre back who can weigh in with a few goals in tight games.
Geovanni? Snodgrass? Koren? It's been a while since we had a good set piece taker full stop. Our corners are crap, I have no idea why the fans get so excited when we get one. They usually either fly over everybody and out of play or don't beat the first man. And on the off chance we do land one in the right area, we haven't got any aerial prowess at all, so everything is easily defended. The stats say we are the third lowest in the division for set piece goals, which would be fine, except we're down there for overall goals as well. The teams towards the top average between 18-20 a season on set pieces. We've also scored zero penalties, which is probably because we don't get into the box with the ball at our feet enough. Players like Longman and KLP don't spend long enough in the penalty area trying to annoy defenders because we just launch it in at the first opportunity.
No but there’s a difference between a squad with quality underperforming. They had Lewis Grabban on the bench yesterday and won 4-1 that’s how much quality they have in their squad
Don't even try and make a comparison between them and us. It makes you look like you know **** all about this league.
Ah the difference is that I know I know **** all about this league, the clubs and players in it unlike some who make out like they know everything.
The same Forest who could afford to play a £13.2m player once in a season and then **** him off to Spain, yeah. You know, the one that isn't riddled with players that aren't good enough.
Doesn't that just show it's not the value of the squad that's important but getting the best out of what you have. Or are you and others suggesting that playing games is a waste of time and effort, lets just have the league table based on the value of the players.
To be honest it doesn’t matter if you are are a membership member like me or a £2 pounder who they are trying to attract back no points out of 18 isn’t really very good is it.
