Well if Saturday and last night wasn't the 'wake yourselves up and think of League 1 wages call'. I dont know what is.
Before a game I like to imagine us scoring to get myself up for it, just a thing I do, but imagining is hard! Usually ends up in a situation where we somehow work it to right on front of goal, where most of our goals seem to come from, maybe via a lucky deflection or poor pass somewhere.
True but the other teams at the bottom have hit form thats why we haven't pulled away, so on the same basis that we are due a few defeats so are others around us.
One that sticks in my mind is the non league team that played at Newcastle in the cup (Burton, Bromley?) and took the lead with a wonder goal from about 30 yards out. Ran up the pitch and kicked it at the goal, boom 1 - 0 we never seem to do that.
I was pretty sure we'd stay up until the Luton game I'm definitely less confident now It's in our hands though
Yeah your post just contained direct references to mine including references to no consecutive losses under Selles, our chances against Sheff Weds, and the fact I don't see the need to panic. Just coincedental.
Why dont our players just hit it into the top corner From 30 yards Ffs Theyre silly players, if they get told Theyll do it What is selles even coaching
i read stuff all week but cant be arsed to reply, then reply to everything ive read across here and Twitter, and other places. so its never really aimed at specific people , just a general thought or opinion doing the rounds ....haha
Obviously it's not easy to score from distance, but these goals do happen for other teams now and again. When we shoot from distance it's as likely to be 10 yards wide or 20 yards over as it is on target. Even when we were good, Seri was terrible for it. A player as talented as him somehow just couldn't keep his shots down when playing for us.
It’s not just us though, I read there’s a huge drop in goals scored from outside the box generally. Presumably to do with tippy tappy football. There’s my interesting contribution to this thread.I’m sure someone will dig out some stats supporting it .
Crooks, coyle, simons n drameh have scored from outside the box for us this season though Probably more goals than most other teams this season outside the box
Cant remember zambranos goal at all or who it was against But outside of the box goals always end up in end of season reels Theyre rare But satisfying when they do go in
