    …or whoever is making this decision, that we always play towards the Ponty second half!! Until this season I can’t remember us choosing not to do so. Only time I have ever known it happen is when someone in the opposition camp knows our preference and, on winning the toss, decides to disrupt us. Really annoys me!

    Maybe he lost the toss, or it was to do with the conditions.

    Someone should tell him to stop trying shots and, even more, stop taking every set piece. Who does he think he is - Barry Bananaman??

    Fair enough, he does score the odd cracker but it seems like he does ten bad shots for one decent effort

    Yep. This was especially frustrating today. I like Luca but I don’t think he’s suddenly going to turn into Hourihane with his long range shooting.

    I haven’t a clue. I missed the start so don’t even know who kicked off.

    Tell him to practice shooting whilst you're at it
    He wasted too many chances again today.

    I think it’s probably 50/50 and the away team elects to play towards their own supporters second half. Unless they are mischief-making that is!

    His shot near the end whilst we were on top was pathetic.

    This ^^

    Beginning to really frustrate me, him taking every set piece. He's not exactly Lionel Messi. That free kick on the edge of the box was perfect for Jalo to have a go.

    Does it every game and by and large it ends up in just giving the other team possession back.

    He did score a decent free kick away at burton - but his shooting from open play is terrible.

    Well let’s just assume he didn’t do it to upset the fans. So that leaves my other suggestion, weather conditions as a possible reason.

    There was a Stat read out at the last game where we did it…. We had won virtually every game kicking that way for a period of a couple of seasons.

    Yes, I wanted Jalo to have a crack at that one it might just have kick started his season, I don't think there was even a discussion about who was taking it.
