extonsred Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 much about our defences positives yesterday. Think all 3 at the back did well. They nullified WBA attack, were strong in defence AND attack. Both Cundy (great game) and Atkinson back to form and we really looked as solid as I've seen our defence this season. Yes maybe crazy moment from Bentley (not sure about the penalty..would like to see in slomo) and our willingness to give gifts to the opposition continues but team played well, Pring was great again..what a tackler, and they deserved more. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Yep said this on the match day thread. Defender set pieces well, generally pretty solid. Other than the pen they only had one shot on target. Was definitely a pen, Bentley gets there second and punches the striker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cundy is a bit raw at times but overall he did well. Like I said on another thread we defended the corners and high balls well yesterday except the keeper making an individual error on the penalty so the coaching stick gets put back in the cupboard for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocking Red Cyril Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Yes, I was not at the game but from clips I decent we looked better in defence. And I watched their penalty a few times and I am not sure either. But in the modern game ,being soft, I suppose it is. Can not find clips of the two penalty's NP said we should of had. Be interesting to see. Refs. are just poor this season mind full stop mind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibs Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Their fitness will be building game by game (as will Matt James tbf), so hopefully we’ll see more games like yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked a threat in the opponents box too. Cundy header saved, Atkinson almost getting on the end of a free kick, before he assisted Weimann. 1 hour ago, Kibs said: Their fitness will be building game by game (as will Matt James tbf), so hopefully we’ll see more games like yesterday. Thought he had a good game yesterday (again) having been poor in the week. Thought he was good last Saturday too. Hopefully his match sharpness is returning. Thought his set-piece delivery was on the money too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went to punch the ball and his hand carried on to interact painfully when it hit the face of the attacker. I had no doubt it was a penalty. Not malicious, just a clumsy mistake. But equally I had no doubt we should have had a penalty when Weimann had his heels clipped in the box. Why would he have dived, he was in a one-on-one with the keeper? Didn't have such a good view of the handball shout. Bloke's arms were certainly raised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 The biggest problem I see, is that we aren't aggressive and proactive enough in stopping balls into the box. We sit in the final third, keep shape, but allow from wide midfield balls to be put in the box. Yesterday was again a perfect example for both Brom goals. Klose ' symbolically' shadowed the man allowed him all the time in the world to deliver a cross into the box. And Jay imo...could have been more aggressive and closer to the man who threaded the ball into the box for their second. We just let balls into the box too easily. Defend like that...and eventually they will score, regardless off the good work done by the defenders prior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comment was not referring to that incident. More of a general comment on the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
