Laner Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 So that's 180 mins without a shot on target. Poor... very poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Our midfield and attackers should be embarrassed by that stat every single one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were set up not to create a thing, as Millwall could defend like they did against Pato and Reid all day long. Not just him to blame its a pathetic stat!

Dullmoan Tone Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 4 minutes ago, JonDolman said: I blame him because a better manager would have set us up to actually create some chances. I knew Pato and Reid would not work, so why did not Johnson? To be fair Pato and Reid worked fairly well earlier this year? Perhaps it's not personnel but the tactics.

Perhaps it's not personnel but the tactics. True about working earlier but Patterson is going through a terrible patch and should not be starting - simply a shell of the player pre-Xmas. Bobby is coming back to midfield far too often to get the ball so that is tactical issue IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 The lot of them should be embarrassed. Bottled it with the January transfer window. Yet again City have hilariously managed to **** up what was a superb position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 27 minutes ago, BobBobSuperBob said: How the hell did we manage %79 possession at one point without a shot on target Incredible Probably by packing the midfield to start the match leaving only Reid as a recognised forward. Patterson’s form has been pants for weeks; Pack and Smith score about one goal each per season; O’Dowda can’t be really match fit. When LJ made first subs it was two big players up front, that might work in League One by not the Championship. I’m not sure of the logic in dropping Diedhiou as he’s the club’s second highest goal scorer with a better goals per game ratio than Reid this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityCiderEd Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 I find it absolutely incedible that a team can go TWO matches without a shot on target.Have the players really thrown the towel in or are they as baffled by LJ's recent team selections as I am.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 In conversation with my son last week, he said part of our success early this season was shooting from outside of the box, really peppering the opponents goal, some going in and some being spilled by the keeper and Reid capitalising, around early December we got so cocky that we started an incredibly irritating habit of over complicating in and around the opponents box, trying to score the perfect goal or to walk it in and it shows in the way that we have been playing and the alarming lack of chances that we create, I have been saying for months that we over complicate instead of having a pop. Today we had 2 shots from outside the box both in the first half, one from Paterson when in a really good position it pathetically trickled past the goal, he couldn't even hit the target and the other from Baker that was closer to the corner flag.

Bazooka Joe Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Even the most useless, crappiest teams manage at least one shot on target at some time during the 90 minutes So what does that say about us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Steve McClaren say something along those lines after we played Derby away? Something like....we try to score precision goals and it's unsustainable to be able to do that week-in week-out. A lot of fans have been saying it for quite a while now, we don't have a plan B. Our plan B seems to be, chuck a 6'5" defender or striker up front and lump it! We continually struggle against the so called lesser teams, because they play to their strengths of holding their shape and defending well. Unless we score an absolute Worldy, we can't break them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 2 hours ago, Spoons said: We try to walk it in the net..... Just shoot!! Exactly. Millwall saw gaps and went for it. Direct without playing hoof ball. We are content to pass and pass, which can look good at times but with no end product its pretty meaningless. Millwall didnt mind us having the ball as we werent doing anything with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark - it is appalling but not shocking. This is the same rubbish every week, which is why that count is so extraordinarily low. The word progress is used on OTIB an awful lot but how can anyone seriously be spinning our recent positive league position as if it is something that we've safely banked? At best it was a high tide, there is zero in current form to suggest that it is retainable. I love the team and you and I both saw what fun endings like Sheffield Utd can be, but now we are truly garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall your OSIB feature not so long ago - convinced this was a very different team from the shambles of 2016/7. Unfortunately the similarities are reappearing.
