Have a watch of it again. He can get in there with his feet before the shot, he doesn't and leaves it to Trafford, then dives and turns to try and block the shot.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:48 pmSorry but what are you wanting him to do? It’s one of those where the keeper saves it and it just bounces out. Jones has gone to block any shot.
You can’t do much about it.
If we are criticising let’s start with the striker who can’t shoot first time or the two open goals we’ve missed, one from about a yard,
Defence have been brilliant tonight in defensive terms and in two away games have conceded once. You cannot blame a makeshift defence who I think have performed heroics.
We had a plethora of chances and like most of the season our Achilles heel is not scoring enough goals.
Jones and Johnston are starters in the back three, it's MJ who's working hard to fit in.
I don't disagree the chances should be put away however you're an advocate of getting a clean sheet to ensure you rarely lose games.
Re: Once were Wanderers...V Burton away Tues 18th Apr. 7-45
Once again our inability to finish the chances we're creating is our biggest problem.
N'lundulu doesnt look like he's able to find a pass let alone get a shot off. He's good at progressing the ball forward, so there's that at least.
Jerome looks like his legs have gone or theres muscle issues. Seems to move awkwardly. Clever player and decent enough link up play but clearly something thats not quite clicking.
It's like we've got an abundance of forwards that we're carrying at the moment, perhaps its a nervous tension that needs releasing or something. Compare this to end of last seasons free scoring from all forwards and it's a notable issue.
Bakayoko, Bodvarsson, Charles, Afolayan, Kacha
seems a better set of options than
Jerome, N'lundulu, Charles, Shoretire, Kacha.
Not wanting to be too critical as I suspect its a case of one going in then pressure off and they all go in. Guess i'm just missing the late goal expectation that we made last season.

We have a record number of clean sheets. We’ve conceded one goal in two away games. Defensively that’s great. If there is any problem it’s the other end.DJBlu wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:54 pmHave a watch of it again.

I think Jones and MJ were superb tonight and Johnston a little shaky but still defensively battled well.
I’ve watched it again, I’m still not sure what you want him to do…he’s not going to kick it out of Traffords hands and has instinctively covered behind. It’s a bit of poor luck but in fairness they were on top for the first fifteen minutes of that half.
Re: Once were Wanderers...V Burton away Tues 18th Apr. 7-45
It all happens really quickly. He like the rest of us probably felt it was in after the first shot. The fact Trafford kept going speaks volumes about his quality.DJBlu wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:54 pmHave a watch of it again.

We've got the best defence in the league, the problem we have is being clinical up top.

Anyway…we’d all have taken this position with open arms at 3pm Saturday wouldn’t we?
4 points from two tricky aways, still in the play offs…3 home games to come with a game in hand.
I mean that’s as good as it was ever likely to get.

I’m definitely not happy with a point. We wasted far too many chances to be happy with a point.

Aye it’s decent - performances good as well for different ways. Imagine if we can get JDB fit and firing - another goal or two is the missing ingredient!

Oh we will no doubt bottle it at home as I have a sneaky feeling we will struggle Saturday and then Accrington will frustrate us.DJBlu wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 10:01 pmDoomed.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:58 pmAnyway…we’d all have taken this position with open arms at 3pm Saturday wouldn’t we?

But we’d still have taken this position. Even though we are bound to throw it away.

Peterborough are still to play Barnsley and Ipswich.
I'm sure there will be twists and turns until the end of the season.

If I'd have been offered our current position in August, I'd've probably taken it....

Yeah. Was just reading Twitter. People laying into them. I thought overall we played well. Some frustrating performances and missed chances but I mean overall I’m not sure we could have played better.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 10:17 pmIf I'd have been offered our current position in August, I'd've probably taken it....

If we want an illustration of our weakness.
We had 22 shots tonight. 7 on target.
They had 14 shots. 8 on target.

Seen that. feck* weirdos. Everyone went out there and gave it their best. On another day we win about 4-1! Team selection was right and tactics were spot on. Literally nothing to moan about save the final pass/shot. Some muppets follow us, for sure.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 10:22 pmYeah. Was just reading Twitter. People laying into them.

We had the ball in the area we wanted it plenty of times. Enough chances for us to win it and we probably should have. Burton are a bogey team so result probably typical.

T’was a good performance, we just lacked quality in the final third. Not sure how we didn’t score in the second half.
I’d have taken a point before kick off so I’m not too disheartened right now.

Re: Once were Wanderers...V Burton away Tues 18th Apr. 7-45
I'm betting their manager might be a bit more relieved at a point than ours. Shooting practise seems to be the order of the day before Saturday.
Si Deus pro nobis, quis contra nos?
Re: Once were Wanderers...V Burton away Tues 18th Apr. 7-45
Well that was shite.
Not really, but it's weird everyone agreeing.
Thought we'd get humped after last year and a makeshift back four (and one (?) outfielder 6'+). And then they wang two long throws in inside 4 minutes. I don't think we defended their goal v well but you give a makeshift back four credit for only conceding one in two tricky away games.
Played well, dominated, should've won. I'd have taken a point before so take the confidence and attack these three home games. As others have said, you'd take our position over the other two.
And as for Burton, Burton can feck off. Playing for set pieces is fine, no issue with that, but that pitch is deliberately shit, and going into the corner at 1-1 at home is embarrassing.
