Last night was a masterclass in how to strike on goal. Lets hope Dino has them working on their shooting in training this week. Problem is after umpteen sideways passes our players are closed down before they can shoot. That's assuming we ever get in shooting range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobledgersheart Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Our players just don't hit the ball early enough - make half a yard, knee over the ball, aim for the goalie, hit it, hope you miss him ! Easy peasy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably need another 2 or 3 of these to make a difference. As Underdog says we need a new pitch with undersoil heating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy peasy ! If the striker couldn’t hit a cow on the arse with a banjo then this is the perfect advise. However, if we have anyone who can then aim at the big bit of the goal and bingo! Goals will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Health and Safety regarding surrounding areas gets games called off more than actual frozen pitches these days. A new pitch would also still struggle with the lack of light in front of the main stand. The lamps are needed whatever we do/have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't build another stand there (which will block light again) but, instead, create a neat standing terrace. I believe one of the early BP development plans had this in mind. Taking the upper seating area away and from memory to be one level. Proposal was where the gym/club shop was to go. The main stand is literally on its last legs. The FLG plan rolled out in July did include the main stand. It was more for the current offices/front of house to be moved over into the newer Joe Royle stand and have that as the new front of OAFC with a welcoming car park area. Then to develop the main stand into something else but I can't remember what now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
