BP1960 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Just had a report from NASA that the new James Webb space telescope has failed to find any of last Saturdays Jack Stobbs attempted crosses. Rick Holden could teach him a thing or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't he also dive around "saving" imaginary balls? I think he also said that he watched Match of the Day in full kit including boots and gloves.

Alas Well maybe he was looking for a striker . Because he isnt going to find one in the box . See Adams didnt put in as many either on Saturday as recent games. We just dont attack crosses like we should or commit numbers when we are on the front foot . Part of Stobbs problem maybe he had nobody to aim at , although admittedly some of them were a bit poor. If you are going to put in a poor cross at least hit it with venom towards goal as Couto did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
