old_man_terry Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Firstly, I know we scraped the win today and it's great to be top of the league. HOWEVER How many times in recent weeks have we given teams goals from basic defending errors and just plain sloppyness at the back, we need to stop giving teams goal starts or easy chance to take point, majority of the goals we have conceded in the last few weeks, all the goals v plymouth/cardiff are examples We're all delighted to have got the late winner, however again today we made it hard for ourselves by gifting Huckerby the ball in a good position, fair enough it was a good finish, but with the teams we are playing we can't afford to keep making mistakes. What's gone so wrong in the last few weeks at the Back? on a side note, at Right Back I'm still no sure what Wilson did wrong to be dropped, looked good covering for Bradley's suspension, (ok he's no right winger) however at right back, based purely on form, would anyone else be playing Wilson over Orr? You can't fault Orr's commitment and attitude, however you can't really fault Wilson either from his performances at Right Back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0738parkway Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 sort of agree with your post terry , but i think wilson is rather a safe player and does what he has to do but hides sometimes i think as, for orr offers you more passion , goals ( 5 ) and also however poor or well he plays always wants the ball , and i get the feeling he loves the city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Scotty Murray Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 To be honest at this point of the season all that matters is results. Bradley was at fault for their goal but had a hand in crossing for our first goal. These are the players that have got us here and hoepfully they will have enough quality to get us up. It is a team game and a lot of players had poor games today but lets just forget about it and move on to the next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eamer Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I'll fault the referee for this one. The first throw in of the two before their goal that Murray apparently hit out was kicked right against their player and should've been our ball. I was right in front of it and don't know what the ref was thinking. If he'd gave the ball the right way they wouldn't have scored their goal.

newboy Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 One mistake. You can't castigate a player for that, especially in the context of the rest of the game. Orr was magnificent today - I counted at least 4 occasions where if he'd been skinned a goal probably would have been conceded. Instead he read the play and turned defence into attack. I'm not a huge Orr fan, but was very impressed by him today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh come on, " if he'd gave?? the ball the right way they wouldnt have scored??" how naive can you get Norwich had been pressing us and scored a well deserved goal which had been coming for about 10 mins before that and if not for some great blocks and poor finishing would have arrived earlier, don't get caught up in thinking about throws etc. They were better than us, period, and we absolutely mugged them. p.s your thoughts on Brook's comeback goal?????.

Ashcott Boy Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Orr played well enough to let himself off the hook. Agreed. Made some crucial interceptions and some good positive forward running in the first half when Murray didn't seem to have the legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
