ciderup Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Grey was poor today and looked like he had been spending some of his masive wage packet on pies! No doubt he will come good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Another person who played well today, especially second half, was Marlon Pack. Brave on the ball and tried to take control of midfield. That raking pass cross pitch to Bryan was exquisite, amazing spin on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonGreat Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Flint was excellent today. You can see most of our squad starting to settle. To be fair tho, it's his job to marshal the defence. Which it sounds like he didn't do very well for the two goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderup Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 A bit controversial but I reckon Cotts cost us a win today by not defending the far post at corners. Burnley have a reputation for superb set pieces yet he saw fit to omit a defender from the far post at EVERY Burnley corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnley have a reputation for superb set pieces yet he saw fit to omit a defender from the far post at EVERY Burnley corner. But the goals didn't come from the far post, but from a man running into a central space. They were orthodox, textbook corners scored by two not particularly tall players. Nothing different from the sort of corners we'd comfortably defended week in, week out last season. It's a bit mystifying why everyone fell asleep today. I think Ayling was meant to be marking at least one of the goalscorers. Was the otherwise superb Flintinho at fault for the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first definitely went in at the far post Robbo. A defender on that post would have cleared it easily. As for the second, I'm not sure but there certainly wasn't anyone on the far post again. I have never noticed it before but the gap behind Hamer was obvious today when a defender on both posts would have made the goal 'smaller'.

steviestevieneville Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Fair play to Gray what he said in the press regarding us but I actually think he would of been better suited in our side. Irrelevant now i know but i dont think their system suits him. Time will tell i suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldlandReddies Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Should have scored with the free header he directed straight at the MOM Heaton and he knew it. Things may have been so different but that's football eh ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gap behind Hamer just looked massive today and I've never noticed it before. I still can't see why we wouldn't defend both posts at set pieces though, it seems a no brainer to me.

Guest Never give up Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Pack was very good today, but you can't say that right??? Also Derek played well, so unlucky not to score spectacularly. Ayling, Bryan and Wilbs not having their best games. Though Williams was poor at the back, but fantastic effort. I was certain the net burst from lower Dolman. Flint was outstanding for me. Quality tackles, winner headers and muscling players off the ball constantly. Pack was more considered today and at times was patient with his build up play, selecting good options. Not that two wanna be tactical geniuses near me thought, who were screaming at him to release players or hit the long ball. If you don't control moments in this league you will be hit on the counter. Bryan quality in the first half too from my seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
