DaveF Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Awful aren't they? Great win tonight but pretty much every free-kick and corner were appalling today! Without Brunt (I know) or Walsh in the team we really waste these opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Pato had a shocker tonight TBF. We all know he`s better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Poor tonight - but I think we probably knew before the game we’d ‘lose’ the attacking set pieces in a traditional sense, so kept trying something new and different to mix it up. Nothing came off though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prinny Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Today they were awful. I think they're in peoples minds atm after 2-3 really bad performances by especially Brunt and also Paterson/O'Dowda on them. Usually we're ok. Except throw ins. Where we've never been good.

Hampshire Red Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Three players off their game tonight:JD, Pato and yet again Wells. Good performances from Bentley, Zak, Kalas, Hunt, CoD, Martin, Semenyo and overall just deserved it. Shows how good we were there last season with a better Cardiff side against us. Arguable if we are approaching last seasons standards, I we're getting there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually think his body language is pretty ropey but certainly put a shift in tonight in a less than glamorous role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richyy66 Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 For some reason we struggle to get the ball over the first man at free-kicks and corners.

I though Jay Dasilva had a solid game at left-back, Wells played in a position that he is clearly not suited to and yet gave a good account and Pato did what he always does and shows flashes of brilliance and creativity. Funny how all three were involved in the goal that set us up for the win. Whilst all three have not been at arguably their best across the last month, getting the blend out of this squad is the key thing. Tonight, 1-0, thanks very much.

I thought Dasilva was excellent first half, quieter second half. Think his ball receiving first half was exquisite. Wells I thought really put in a shift tonight, and generally linked up well. Was his blocked first-time shot on target early in second half? First half he was really good at dragging Bacuna long and short....creating room for O’Dowda in the inside left channel. Unselfish. Pato was in and out tonight. I initially wondered what he was doing when he played in Semenyo. I thought he’d cut in on his left and had badly mis-hit a shot that the defender had sort of blocked. Didn’t realise it was a disguised pass until I saw Semenyo race onto it. 1 hour ago, JonDolman said: Disagree on Dasilva. Thought he was class ....and I think he suits LB more than LWB.

The reason we often hit the first man is because we are trying whip them in with pace for the most part rather than launching the ball upwards for the keeper to come and claim (like Smithies did on the couple of occasions we did that). There was one corner first half where Paterson hit the first man and had his delivery been slightly better (ie a foot higher) it would have been 2-0.

BLRed Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Corners the majority of the time don’t get past man at front post, the rest of the time straight into keepers hands or if playing short, ends up back with our own keeper. freekicks are also more often than not hit and miss. We have players that can score directly but we often choose against trying that. When a ball is played in that zone of uncertainty, there is also often no one ever gambling on getting on the end. id go as far as to say we probably don’t spend much time on set pieces.

Sure distance wise he was good, iirc Brownhill was half decent too. Neither used as effectively as they could’ve been though. I was thinking more of the simple short throw ins anyway. We never seem to take them quick enough, enabling the opposition to organise, and then never had enough movement to lose the marker. Having said that I don’t remember throw ins frustrating me so much this season so maybe we have improved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coin-op Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 It feels like when we get a throw in it is to the opposing teams advantage as we just launch it long and it comes straight back the way it came with an opposition player. Or like the post above, we take way to long and let the other team organise. Fair enough to waste time later on in the second half but not all through the game. And yes, our free kicks are crap, especially when we play it backward and it ends up going to the keeper when we should be getting players in the box. What a waste! That frustrates me.

The Bard Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 I know it doesn't matter now, but the way the likes of Paterson, Brownhill and O'Dowda were allowed to nudge Eliasson off Free Kicks previously was ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last two games we’ve tended to go down the line from throw-ins, but up until then we’ve generally seen some little planned moves that keep the ball....which were devoid under LJ. It is basic stuff that is t practiced enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
