wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Made them look quite ordinary for most this half. They had a massive chance to get in front from Brown, God knows how he managed to mess that one up as badly as he did. But couple of nice bits of fortune from making good decisions has us in front and from here, it's ours to go on and take it to them. Getting a few extra goals today would set the stage for the final day a bit better. Been a decent watch this. Link to post Share on other sites
AnglianRed 6,229 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Interesting first half. Very scrappy opening 20 minutes. Neither side really looked like getting a grip on the game. Still haven't seen a replay of Crooks' goal, but after Howson's free kick went in off Baker, we finally seemed to get a confidence boost and mostly looked pretty comfortable. Still lacking the intelligence / quality to make the most of our dominance. Frustrating that we still get caught offside as often as we do and regularly fail to pick passes, but overall more than happy with how things have gone so far. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Best we've played in ages. Threat from the left, good deliveries from set pieces, and the fast passing around their channels is back. I do wonder if we have a ready-made solution to our LWB problem in Tav? Sometimes its about getting your best players onto the pitch - and this achieved that. Seems insane to bench McGree or Crooks. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,964 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) Unfortunately destiny is not in our hands but we can’t afford chances lCrooks had go unrewarded. Support was slow. Reminiscing but if only we had not lost form when it mattered. Shucks.. Edited April 30, 2022 by sanddancer Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 It's also nice to see us play well without having to go through Jones. Lad is struggling a bit with his back apparently? So we're not seeing him race the length of the pitch as much today. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
pikerman 1,089 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 What a strange half, we couldn’t get close to the ball for 20 minutes and then Crooks scores and we wake up. The second gave us real confidence and we dominated them after that. A mention for Daniels who has brought so much more confidence into our defence, Mcgree also looks a very good signing 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sold on Tav's defensive abilities but he certainly carries a good attacking threat. Other than that can't really argue with you. Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree about Daniels and McGree. 👍 Link to post Share on other sites

ManBearPig 1,833 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Said last week that Tav is our best left back. With him and jones on either side we will be more balanced as a team. Link to post Share on other sites
