Watched the football league show and looked like he gave ball away for there goal

 

could someone let me know how he played when he came on

he's been guilty of giving dangerous balls away alot, thats why he isn't in the starting line up, he needs to cut it out if he wants to get into the team

As SC said after the game, usually Pack can be relied upon to help us see out games as he did at Sheff U and even gave us attacking impetus versus COLU. Also played a big part in stifling Orient.

 

But he made a mistake. He'll get it right more times than not, just one of those things.

I am sorry, but if you see my previous posting in AWFUL  you will know that I am not his greatest fan.  I listen to every Radio Bristol Commentary on City games and all I hear when he is playing is, ; Pack has given the ball away;  and usually in dangerous areas.  I think he is the weakest link in this squad and this is the reason that SC doesn't start him very often.  IMHO he needs to be replaced with a better holding mid fielder.  At that stage of the game with only one goal between Fleetwood and us he should have done better.

Then you should see him play, that's not fair at all.

i agree with some of whats he's posted he has laspes in consentration and gives the ball away needlessly in dangerous postions, thats why he isn't in the first team,

but he isn't the weakest link, 1 man doesn't cost you a game we should defend as a team and sadly this time we couldn't hold,

disappoint but I said I'd take a point before the game,

I am surprised we are considering Pack as a defensive midfielder ,i thought at Chelts he was an attacking play maker and free kick specialists.

 

He was. Said this pre-season he was still getting used to the role (DM/holding midfielder) that he was brought in for. If you say to any Chelts fan that we play him as a defensive player they don't get it at all.

I feel that although a mistake on Packs behalf it looks to me that he hasn't had/hasn't heard a shout from a team mate. He readjusted to clear which I don't think he would have done if he was aware of the player behind him.

 

I'll get my tin hat ready for the "he should of been aware" comments....

 

I agree actually!

 

Having watched it again he gets dispossessed on the blindside, so without a shout from a teammate it's very difficult to lay much blame at the door of Pack. Even after he is dispossessed the ball is passed on, Dobbie isn't closed down and then hits a quality strike.

 

Very harsh to blame Pack, certainly not the glaring error that some are making out.

A lot happened after his mistake including a fortunate deflection to the scorer. I'd rather focus on the second goal and the absence of any marking at all. That was the important goal; stop that one, we stop them from upping their effort and we keep their crowd quite, and we would have probably have won.

You may be right but for me he wasn't robust enough either in the attempted header or the subsequent non challenge.

It's not a glaring area, but it could of been prevented which is the frustrating thing

Have to say, not having seen it live, I had assumed the error was on a par with some of our classic defending of last year. It was nowhere near that.

They had an element of luck with the first and third goals. We got the initial block in both times, and just bad luck the rebound has gone straight to their player. In both cases they have then taken full advantage of the football gods with smashing finishes. If they had been our goals we would have praised the finish.

More frustrated by the second to be honest.

...bit harsh imho.

 

The lad was on just one minute.

 

We never even had possession. The ball pinged off Little's head and Pack was beaten on his blind side to the ball by another player with more momentum.

 

Plus the keeper was allowed to bring the ball way out of his box, on the right side and swing in a high diagonal cross.

If we hadn't been sitting deep, and having everyone in our own half, we could have closed the keeper down and not allowed that initial ball that caused all the problems in the first place.

 

I'd be more concerned with their second goal...a free header.

Fair to say taking Agard off for pack at that juncture may in hindsight-I hope-be seen as a mistake by SC...not any point to it bar to kill 30 seconds off the clock..backfired..
