Would be nice to get an approximation of where the shots were coming from. Maybe its a case of we're not getting into good enough scoring positions or maybe its a case of we're snatching at chances.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:After we've played Forest and Blackburn we get 15 days off... for 3-5-2 practice...truewhite15 wrote:Had enough of this shit. When are we gonna get a break?
Maybe we should be mixing it up, but of our first 13 attempts on goal, 7 or 8 were set up by Feeney. (It's "7 or 8" because in the 67th minute Feeney's corner created a chance which Madine then Dervite failed to convert.)BWFC_Insane wrote:I know the stats are you don't score that many from corners. But I do think we need some set piece work. First point of action, get someone other than Feeney to take them.KeyserSoze wrote:11-0 Bolton - on corners.
Those chances in full (sourced from Press Association via BBC):
3 Madine - blocked (assist by Vela)
4 Dervite - blocked (Feeney)
11 Wilson - wide (Feeney)
14 Moxey - saved (Vela)
15 Prince - wide (Feeney)
35 Dervite - wide (Feeney)
36 Clough - saved (Madine)
37 Clough - blocked (Feeney)
42 Moxey - blocked (Clough)
56 Dervite - blocked (Feeney)
61 Clough - wide (Wilson)
66 Madine - wide (Feeney)
66 Dervite - wide (Madine - from Feeney's corner)
67 Feeney off for Heskey
70 Clough - wide/over (direct free kick)
73 Clough - over (Moxey)
79 Moxey off for Dobbie
84 Clough - saved (no assist noted)
84 Heskey - saved (rebound from Clough's attempt)
90+2 Heskey - saved (Wilson)
Total: 18 attempts, 5 saves, 5 blocks, 8 off-target.
Regardless of the reasons as to why we're not scoring, it's disheartening to know that we're having plenty of opportunities via set pieces to get a goal.
Set piece work should be our main focus. Even if we're not confident in front of goal we can still play for corners and get chance after chance. Goal kick booted downfield to whippet, hold the ball up, win a corner, cross it in and given a well drilled team we can get a goal.

Club all time record. 6 games without a goal. We just keep on breaking those records. Thoroughly miserable start.

Can't beat the black humour of football fans.
Re: "The ratio of people to cake is too big" Milton (K dons)
Which is the worst?....Getting battered by a good team but reasoning that you're getting beat by a more quality team...or getting beat by a team, that, with all due respect we should be getting points off?
Re: "The ratio of people to cake is too big" Milton (K dons)
Just had a look and it was when Allardyce was in charge. Any season since is poor. 2012-13 season looks okay but seeing as we were one of the favourites, a return of 1 win 2 defeats and 1 draw in the first four games seems poor also.twilight wrote:Probably when Allardyce was in charge?officer_dibble wrote:We had a good start once i think.

Just leaving the ground and disappointed ted to say the least. Dome very good individual performances tonight and everyone worked hard but our decision making in the final third was very poor.
Prince, Dervite and Danns were excellent, Vela and Wilson were not. Moxey looks like a different player but was injured towards the end. Personally, I thought NL left it too late to change Vela for Walker. Mavies just disappeared in the second half.
A loss on Saturday would leave us looking like we're in trouble already.

No goals, no wins, one draw and two of our four games have been against teams that were in League One last season.
Seems a little way off Plymouth's promised "promotion season"...I could see us not making the play-offs at this rate.

Wellington missed the registration today. Signed on a season-long loan. Pisano should be in tomorrow.
Moxey a doubt for saturday
Also had Jose Casado on trial for a week, who seems to be a defender.

We were well shafted by one of those two, and the other has a new manager.CAPSLOCK wrote:And 2 against the pre-season favourites to win the leagueWorthy4England wrote:From where I'm sat, we look in trouble already in any event...Bijou Bob wrote:Just leaving the ground and disappointed ted to say the least.

You could probably make a case for us being really unlucky in 3 of the 4 games in fairness.
We've had 58 shots and 16 on target in four games (from BBC website) - should some start going in and confidence pick up, that's not a bad chance creation set of stats...
Top of the table, Ipswich have 56 shots and 25 on target and have bagged 8 goals, Boro on 46 and 16 have bagged 8.
Bit o luck would help, but all games are looking tough when you're 23rd in the league with no goal-scorers firing....
That's about as positive I'm going to get until tomorrow.

Nope. No knives. Just need a break or two. ... or three.

It finally looks like Gartside has really shafted us after all, thanks mate for Lee, Megson, Coyle and Freedman and the time you hung on to some of them, you really done us proud!
