Spike Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 11 minutes ago, LondonBristolian said: The problem with our injuries is only takes one moment for our defence to look as makeshift as it is and we're a goal down. I don't even blame the defence, I mean they're doing well considering but the attack missing key chances and making bad decisions that cost chances. With the talent we have going forward we should not be wasting opportunity's Quote Link to comment

westonred Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 Poor 1st ten mins improved slightly after OTC came of for Kingy We had the two best chances until they scored but this shows you cannot compete in the Championship with such a small squad and 8 players out injured They have 6 experienced players in on loan which shows the difference in quality. We're still in this but im affraid i can see this being a 3 or 4 Nil loss Quote Link to comment

We are desperately in need of a centre forward who can play with his back to goal and bring other players into attack, and contribute some goals from all the chances we create, but do NOT take....if u cannot see that........u may be in a world of dreams? 1 Quote Link to comment
Jerseybean Posted April 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 First half thoughts We started poorly, consistently giving the ball away and inviting pressure Wells should have put us in front DaSilva has looked good Stoke given far too much space = 1-0 Overall the HT scoreline reflects the balance of play, Stoke on top for most of the half and although we’ve worked hard we haven’t created much Ref very lenient Lets hope for a big improvement in the second half 1 Quote Link to comment

What, like Chris Martin did? That went well……We need defenders and midfielders way more than attackers……as i said i will be amazed if we spent money on a striker, especially the type you are suggesting. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Mr Popodopolous Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 7 minutes ago, Magger1 said: Just don’t see us as a team who can hold the ball , possession we can’t dominate or dictate we’re chasing shadows all the time and only counter attacking and in this division that’s not good enough and if you rely on counter attacks you have to take your chances 3 minutes ago, Banjo Red said: Summer cant come quick enough clearly we need strengthening in areas. We are horribly patched up. Horribly. 1) If we had Atkinson at LCB he would be able to carry it into midfield. This in turn would free up Pring to bomb on at LB. He's more dynamic than DaSilva. 2) Naismith would give us a stronger passing range plus balance between the defence and midfield. 3) Scott is Scott, enough said. 4) Williams more bite. 5) Can Sykes provide some kind of threat on the break on the road. Possibly so. He's unjustly banned. Kalas also would be a more natural fit albeit unnatural foot (right v LCB) and again freeing up Pring. 2 2 Quote Link to comment

1960maaan Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 If we score that goal, I'm saying it's great play. Good switch , early cross and the forward gets between the CB's. Yes you can always defend better, but Vyner chasing back goes near post and cant see the striker. Cam loses the strikers run and could probably do better. We have one fit CB so you almost have to expect errors, but hope you get away with them. TBH , K Quote Link to comment

firstdivision Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 I think their goal is one of the softest I’ve seen us concede this season. Their centre back has it for quite a while before drilling the pass out. We had loads of time to become solid in formation. Pathetically soft. Embarrassing. Quote Link to comment

Davefevs Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 1st half summary: Shaky start where we cleared balls straight to them, and let Brown, Laurent and Campbell run into the channels unopposed. Didn't really concede any chances, defended corners well. But ultimately a bit passive in the closing and marking, so Stoke popping it around easily. Was OTC a contact injury, challenging Campbell? Then we grew into it, Dasilva doing well to be composed on the ball and setting Bell free...who unfortunately failed to deliver chances from great positions. How Pearson escaped a yellow for the foul on him, wasn't even given. Than Wells and Weimann's chances. Weimann's - if only he could've looped it over Bonham. Then of course the sucker punch. Doesn't matter whether it was Pring or Vyner, one needs to lead the other there, decide who's marking, who's covering Tanner....assume Brown beyond Pring too??? Need to up the tempo all over second half. Can get back into it, but need to want to also. King bringing a bit of composure to our passing. 3 Quote Link to comment

We've been poor in front of goal for 2/3rds of the season now (31 goals in 32 games). Still can't believe that the media/Pearson believe that we have an abundance of options in the forward position. Yes we have the numbers, but not the quality unfortunately. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
