We don't exactly play hoofball, but not many of our passes are to foot. A lot of passes have to be taken on chest or thigh, or even worse a looping bounce in front of the recipient.
If we didn't have our back 4, we would have conceded far less. Panic stations and poor decisions especially MDG and Farrugia. That lack of confidence in your back line holds the team back.
See another shining example of why timekeeping should be taken off refs how’s he only added a min on that Northampton player was down for more then that.
Cos that’s where the offence was, I.e. where he touched the ball. He was offside because he was in the opposition half when the ball was played forward, fulfilling the requirements for it being offside, but the free kick is taken from where the player touches the ball, even if he runs back into his own half to get it.
Humphrys needs subbing asap, offering absolutely nothing. Also, Nwakali, I’m not seeing it, one world beating pass every three starts doesn’t do it for me.
Other than the goal... We are winning. It's the only thing we can shout about. But we're winning. That's all that matters right now
Got to be the first time in about 20 years I haven't been when we played Northampton, due to living in the midlands area, not regretting it tonight, tis a borefest.
