Cross made the goal in my opinion but Baxter's run into the box is something we don't always do and created a relatively simple chance. Our midfielders are poor at getting in the box especially when our main forwards are out on the wings and have to pass backwards instead of crossing. Other teams seem to flood the box with players and cause the opposition problems. Plus my main bugbear which we have somewhat rectified this season....." Have a bloody shot !"

Haven't we already scored one this season where a player took a shot that 95% of the time would be saved/miss only for it to be in the other 5%?

Not sure I understand what you're getting at unless it's the one Branger scored thanks to a massive deflection ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's the one. Can only benefit from a massive deflection if you take a shot in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I subscribe to the school of thought that football is a simple game and that the majority of players, certainly at League 2 level, need to concentrate on the basics: passing, tackling, closing down, heading and shooting. And as for the substitute being instructed for seemingly minutes on end by one of the coaching staff pointing to whatever on an iPad ....
